Power center design and feasibility study development
Concept, feasibility study, and design documentation for the energy center.
Work begins not with equipment selection, but with the facility's objective: available gas resource, electrical and thermal load profile, and reliability requirements. Based on this, the energy balance is calculated, a technical concept is formed, and the project economics are evaluated.
What's included
- — Analysis of gas resource and connection points
- — Calculation of the facility's electrical and thermal energy balance
- — Comparison of configuration options and CAPEX/OPEX assessment
- — Design and working documentation for the energy center
A basis for comparing options
Building a budget for on-site generation
Purchase prices alone do not capture the costs of running a power center. A comparison needs shared assumptions for load, tariffs, project scope and the assessment period.
Bringing the site into service
The initial budget covers the selected equipment and the work included in the project: design documentation, construction, connections and commissioning.
Operating under load
Fuel consumption is linked to expected output and equipment operation. Gas expenditure is calculated using the terms applicable to the particular site.
Keeping equipment operational
Maintenance, replacement parts and consumables are allowed for throughout operation. Their scope and frequency follow the unit’s maintenance requirements.
Personnel, repairs and financing are included separately where relevant to the option under review. Total expenditure, potential savings and investment recovery are calculated for the project, not taken from a generic promotional example.
Project Roadmap
Project route: from request to operation
Unified work process: each subsequent stage relies on confirmed data from the previous one, so equipment decisions are made last, not first.
- 01
Initial Data Collection
Electrical and thermal load profile, available gas resource, connection points, reliability requirements, and facility site.
- 02
Preliminary Study
Technical feasibility verification: gas balance, operating modes, grid constraints, and preliminary power plant configuration.
- 03
Technical Concept
Facility energy balance, composition of main and auxiliary equipment, thermal scheme, layout, and CAPEX/OPEX estimation.
- 04
Financial Model
Power supply economics, transaction structure, and selection of implementation model — EPC, EPC-M, or EPC-F.
- 05
Contracting
Agreement on scope of work, schedule, guaranteed performance indicators, and risk allocation among project participants.
- 06
EPC and Commissioning
Design, procurement, construction and installation works, commissioning, and bringing the power plant to design performance.
- 07
Operation and Maintenance (O&M)
Scheduled maintenance, spare parts, operational mode management, and availability reporting throughout the service life.
Engineering Approach
How an energy center is designed
The configuration is determined by availability requirements, load profile, and fuel characteristics — the principles below apply to every project.
Solution Architecture, Not a Single Piece of Equipment
We consider the entire solution architecture — technical, economic, construction, operational, and service aspects — rather than just a single unit.
Multi-Unit Scheme
Multiple modules instead of one large unit: high availability, high-efficiency operation across a wide load range, and maintenance without facility shutdown.
Factory Readiness
Containerized and modular block design reduces on-site work; for capacities in tens of megawatts, a stationary design with engine room construction is applied.
Maximum Useful Product from Fuel
Utilizing engine and exhaust heat, producing cold in trigeneration, and CO₂ capture in quadrigeneration increase the share of fuel converted into useful product.
Manageability and digital control
Dispatching, SCADA, and APCS are integrated into the project: the energy center must be observable and manageable, not just functional.
Project calculated by lifecycle
The solution must be not only technically sound, but also economically justifiable: CAPEX, OPEX, and operating costs are evaluated for the entire service life.
