Equipment

Gas engine generator sets for your power center

We select gas engine generator sets to match the facility’s load, gas characteristics and site conditions. The equipment configuration and technical specifications are agreed for each project.

A gas engine generator set converts gaseous fuel into electricity. Where heat recovery is included in the project, it can also supply useful heat. The number of units, their capacity and connection arrangement are determined by the facility’s data, not just its peak demand.

What we consider when selecting equipment

  • — Electrical load profile and the facility’s operating schedule
  • — Gas supply conditions and the chosen engine’s fuel requirements
  • — Grid connection, backup capacity and generator controls
  • — Useful heat demand and ongoing maintenance

When to consider gas-fired power generation

For facilities with sustained electricity demand and an available gas supply, gas engine generator sets may be worth considering. If heat consumers are present on site, the potential to use recovered heat in a cogeneration system is assessed separately. Grid-parallel and islanded operation require different connection and control solutions. The permissible operating mode is checked for the specific equipment and facility.

From a model to a complete power center

The catalogue below helps identify a power class for further discussion. In addition to the generator set, a solution may include cooling, gas conditioning, exhaust systems, electrical controls and heat recovery circuits. The need for each system and the scope of supply are defined during project development. A catalogue listing does not confirm availability, delivery time or the final equipment configuration.

Preparing for the first discussion

Tell us where the facility is located, what it is used for, its current and planned load, operating hours and any known gas supply conditions. If available, provide a daily electricity consumption profile, grid connection details and heat demand data. Identify any equipment that must not be stopped. This information helps establish what else is needed for equipment selection and a technical proposal.

Yuchai equipment

Gas engine generator range

4DA is a Yuchai partner. These models provide a starting point for discussing a power center configuration; selection depends on load, gas supply and site conditions.

Model designations and power classes follow the catalog. Rated operating conditions, actual site output, heat recovery and equipment scope need verification against the datasheet and agreement in the proposal. These cards do not indicate stock availability.

From requirements to configuration

Sizing a gas engine for the way your site operates

The same installed capacity can serve very different operating conditions. Gas engine selection considers the site’s continuous demand, changes in load and the fuel resource available for generation.

Gas engine generator with pipework and auxiliary equipment
Equipment pictured in the catalog. The configuration of each power center is defined by its design.

Map the operating profile

Daily and seasonal load profiles show which demand is to be supplied by on-site generation. They inform the capacity, number of units and intended operating modes.

Check fuel conditions

Gas availability is assessed together with its properties and delivery conditions. Compatibility with a particular engine is checked against the manufacturer’s requirements.

Allow for connections and heat

The equipment must fit the facility’s networks. If heat recovery is planned, heat users and the necessary auxiliary systems are assessed as well.

The final equipment scope follows the site assessment. The photograph is an example from a third-party catalog, not a confirmed supply or completed 4DA installation.
