About
There are three reasons that engines are driving the energy transition. Flexible engines are ideal for balancing variable renewable energy, flexible engine power plants are more profitable in high-renewable markets, and fuel flexibility future-proofs engine power plants.
Flexibility in power generation refers to a plant’s ability to quickly start, stop, and adjust its output to meet grid demands. Several key factors contribute to this. One crucial aspect is the start-up time. Another important factor is the absence of minimum up and downtime. Additionally, engine power plants can operate at a minimum stable load of just 10% and adjust their output rapidly, which is essential for balancing. The net efficiency of these plants is also significant. Engine power plants are modular, meaning they can turn on as many or as few engines as needed while maintaining high net efficiency.
Engine power plants are designed to integrate renewables profitably whereby flexible power generation ensures grid stability and opens up profitable opportunities. Engines can start and stop an unlimited number of times daily and continuously adjust output without additional costs, with cycle limits; maximizing revenues during peak electricity prices. Engine power plants consistently maintain higher net efficiency compared to gas turbine power plants, reducing fuel consumption by up to 28%.
Wärtsilä’s engine power plants are future-proof due to their fuel flexibility, minimizing the risk of investing in assets that may become unprofitable or obsolete. Engines can switch fuels instantly without reducing load or compromising availability. They are designed to operate on various gaseous and liquid fuels.
With engine power plants at the forefront of the energy transition, Wartsila can accelerate the energy transition.
