Base-load electricity.

Base-load generation is useful where there is a stable source of fuel, such as natural, landfill or coal gas to power the generators. TEDOM gas engines are renowned for their reliability in the field and when challenged with difficult gases. The generation of electricity alone typically takes place where there is no local need for heating and cooling. The power that is produced can either be exported to the local electricity grid, or alternatively be used in island mode operation to power local facilities.

 

Electrical peaking stations.

Electricity peaking stations, also called peak-lopping plants, are power plants designed to help balance the fluctuating power requirements of the electricity grid. Peaking stations typically operate in standby mode, then when there is a peak in demand for power from the electricity grid; the gas engines receive a signal to commence operation. Due to their flexibility and robustness they can provide a rapid response to fluctuating demand. They are then turned off as demand reduces. If you would like to find out more about the generation of electricity with gas engines, please contact your local or regional Energos office.

Back up power or standby diesel engine displacement.

Gas engines producing electricity can be used as a cleaner standby power source than diesel engines.
