Grid Connected

Grid connected micro-grids are directly connected to the local electricity distribution network. They have the benefit of potential self-sufficiency for power but can also take electricity from or supply electricity back to the local power network.

Grid Connected with Island Mode (“Island-Able”)

Certain micro-grids whilst normally operating in parallel with the local network, can disconnect the grid incoming supply and provide the necessary power infrastructure independent of the network. To do this, power generation sources that can operate independently from the grid are required. In this instance, our proffered solutions are tailored to prevent this from happening.

Energy Storage

Energy can be stored in several ways. This can include, for example, storage of electricity in batteries or ultra-capacitors.

Alternatively, energy can be converted into a gas such as biogas, biomethane or hydrogen and stored as a fuel rather than as electricity. These gaseous fuels. Sometimes known as “e-fuels” can be utilised in high-efficiency decentralised reciprocating gas engine plants to produce both electricity and heat, at point of use, helping to save money and decarbonise our utility supply.

Energy storage systems (ESS) can time-shift energy, storing at times of surplus and releasing at times of deficit; helping to drive energy-efficiency.

There are numerous applications for energy storage technologies, including providing support services to the electricity grid, or to an individual consumer “behind-the-meter”. Energy storage technology may be deployed as stand-alone systems or with power generation as part of a hybrid or microgrid scheme.

Renewable energy enablement

Excluding biogas, most renewable energy sources, whilst critical to decarbonisation of our electricity systems, are by their nature intermittent. Supply may be higher than demand at times of abundant sun or wind. Equally if the wind drops or a cloud passes over a photovoltaic (PV) array, as an example, supply may not meet demand. Introducing energy storage systems in between the renewable generators and the consumers allows the Electricity grid network to “balance” electrical demand with the supply from the renewable generators. The employment of ESS allows the most efficient use of the renewable energy sources and the least use of expensive and polluting fossil fuel powered plants.

By helping to balance energy supply with demand, ESSs greatly improve the efficiency of renewable sources and allow maximal renewable energy penetration in the national energy mix.

Energy resilience has become an essential consideration when evaluating power supply. Unexpected events such as extreme weather incidents, technical failures or even pandemics can put their toll on the power network. Energy storage technologies can support operational resilience.

Reinforcement

Energy storage is flexible, dispatchable, and readily deployable at electricity grid level. This means energy storage systems can help to support grid services such as frequency response, shedding, adding and voltage stabilisation effectively and ‘almost’ instantaneously.

Diesel displacement

Energy storage systems can be used as an alternative to back-up generators such as diesel-based systems to improve the emissions performance of an industrial or commercial facility. Providing a modern, lower carbon approach to ensuring continuity of supply in the event of an external power interruption.

Hybrid power plants / micro-grids

Energy storage systems can be deployed in parallel with other technologies as a hybrid powerplant or as part of a microgrid. These modern, flexible solutions can combine the benefits of ultra-fast battery response with the longevity of a gas engine, whilst also balancing with renewable power generation for complete site optimisation.

Microgrids

Microgrids typically consist of a number of different power generation technology types and draw upon the benefits of renewable energies, storage technologies and gas or diesel engines. The combination and synchronisation of different types of power generation technology can be referred to as ‘hybrid power generation.’

Microgrids provide power resilience and can supply both electricity and heat to local users. Drivers to develop microgrids can be many including poor local electricity networks, weather challenges causing network disruption or local incentives to reduce peak demands and generate higher levels of renewable energy.

Although not constrained by size, Microgrids are generally designed, and implemented to serve local power needs and therefore tend to be distributed, self-contained, power systems that may or may not be connected to a wider microgrid cluster and or the national grid.

Hybrid Gas Engines & Energy Accumulators

Hybrid systems incorporating gas engines and battery energy storage system (ESS) technology can combine the benefits of the rapid power dispatch response from batteries and the long-term low-carbon or renewable power available from a gas engine.

Standby Gas Engines

Standby gas engines are a useful alternative to diesel-based gensets for the delivery of reliable back up power as well as typical continuous power. Standby gas engines can be fuelled with a variety of fuels including renewable gases, pipeline gas or compressed and liquified gases. They are a proven solution for the reduction in NO_x and carbon emissions.

Reliable back up power

Gas engines therefore offer the potential of the highest levels of resilience whilst in parallel offering a low carbon or renewable solution for back-up power. In addition, standby gas engines are also a flexible asset that can be used to support the national electricity grid as peaking stations when not being used to support the immediate facility.

Benefits and features of standby gas engines

Emissions reduction

• Gas engines are a proven technology as a primary source of power generation
• Gas fuelled engines can deliver an 80-90% reduction in NO_X
• If fuelled by renewable gases such as biogas, biomethane, compressed biomethane or hydrogen the power source can be carbon neutral
• If fuelled by natural gas a 25% reduction in CO₂ can be achieved compared to diesel fuel
• No SO₂ emissions (*unless using unrefined biogas containing sulphur)
• Significantly lower particulate matter (PM) emissions

Resilience

• Fast start-up capability that delivers load within 15 seconds and full capacity in under 45 seconds
• Gas fuelled generators provide critical reliability and are less likely than diesel generators to fail during a power outage
• When redundant, grid-parallel gas engines can operate as peaking stations, enabling their operators to provide electricity to support the national electricity grid
• Gas-Fuelled electrification technology can support 99.999% availability for EMERGENCY centres.

Fast start-up capability

Typically, gas engine technology has been optimised for continuous operation at high efficiency. However, faster response times have become a priority due to recent changes in the energy landscape, such as the expansion of renewable electricity.

With technical improvements, including port injection and an advanced control management system, natural gas fuelled generator can provide full output within less than 45 seconds whilst supporting up to a single 100% load step.

Remote Generation

In those areas not serviced by a main electricity grid, locally generated electricity is ideally suited as a cost-effective way of meeting the local electricity demand while reducing significant network installation or upgrade costs.  Through supply of energy directly at the load with a captive power plant, it is also possible to reduce or avoid altogether the transport and distribution losses. Producing electricity from gas is highly efficient and losses reduction is of paramount importance. Gas engines are well suited to operation in island mode situations.

Co-generation or combined heat and power (CHP) can also be used in remote areas.  Co-generation is the simultaneous production of electricity and thermal energy from a single fuel source.  A reciprocating gas engine is used to drive a generator to produce electricity, the waste heat from the engine exhaust can also be recovered and provided directly to the customer or used in a boiler to produce steam.  This enables the supply of electricity and steam or heat to the rural communities too.

Types of Electrical Generator

Electrical generation plants come in two main forms:

• Stable base load (continuous) generation
• Electricity peaking

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. Our 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.

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.

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