2MW Natural Gas Power Generation: A Self-Sustained Solution for Manufacturing Plants

I. System Architecture: Core Components of a 2MW Gas Power Plant

To ensure stable self-generation, a complete energy system comprises three key dimensions:

1. Gas Supply System: 

• Access via city grid or dedicated pipelines, equipped with pressure regulating stations, filtration, and emergency shut-off systems.

2. Power Generation Unit:

• Includes the gas engine, alternator, and control system. Containerized designs are recommended for weatherproofing and rapid onsite deployment.

3. Distribution & Logic Management:

• Main switchgear and branch circuits integrated with load management logic to handle production peak fluctuations.

II. Performance Analysis: Daily Output and Gas Consumption

Calculations based on a continuous operation model at 2MW rated power:

Expert Note: Actual results may vary slightly based on the gas calorific value and real-time load factors.

III. Power Distribution: Balancing Workshop and Office Loads

To maximize efficiency, we recommend a "Production First, Office Second" priority logic:

• Workshops - approximately 80% (38,400 kWh/day):

• Usage: Heavy loads like production lines, motors, and air compressors.

• Office Areas -approximately 20%(9,600 kWh/day):

• Usage: Lighting, HVAC, data centers, and general office equipment.

IV.Performance Comparison of Different Power Capacities

In order to help manufacturing clients choose the appropriate installed capacity based on production scale, the following reference data is calculated based on 38% electrical efficiency and a Lower Heating Value (LHV) of 35.8 MJ/Nm³:

Rated Power	Hourly Consumption	Daily Gas Usage	Daily Power Output
1 MW	≈ 265 Nm3/h	≈ 6,360 Nm3/day	24,000 kWh
2 MW	≈ 530 Nm3/h	≈ 12,720 Nm3/day	48,000 kWh
5 MW	≈ 1,325 Nm3/h	≈ 31,800 Nm3/day	120,000 kWh
