Natural Gas Generator Sets: Applications and Core Value Proposition
Natural gas generator sets are the preferred solution for reliable and sustainable power supply across various sectors, attributed to their high efficiency, operational flexibility, and clean energy conversion.
| Application Sector | Key Scenarios | Core Value and Advantage |
| Public Utilities & Energy | Peak-Shaving Power Stations | Ideal peak-shaving source due to fast start-up and flexible load adjustment, crucial for managing grid demand peaks. |
| Distributed Energy / CCHP (Tri-Generation) | Urban parks, Data Centers, commercial complexes. Achieves combined cooling,heating, and power (CCHP) supply with overall energy utilization efficiency exceeding 80%. |
| Base Load Power Supply | Serves as the primary power source in regions with abundant and low-cost natural gas resources. |
| Industrial Manufacturing | Captive Power Plants | Provides stable and reliable electricity for high-energy-consuming factories (Chemical, Ceramic, Glass, etc.), significantly reducing external power costs. |
| Combined Heat and Power (CHP) | Utilizes waste heat from generation to produce steam or hot water for industrial processes,maximizing energy cascade use and substantially cutting comprehensive energy consumption. |
| Commercial & Infrastructure | Standby/Emergency Power | Hospitals, Airports, Hotels, Commercial Complexes. Ensures uninterrupted operation of critical facilities during main grid outages. |
| Transportation | Marine Power | Used as propulsion and auxiliary power for LNG-powered vessels, supporting the industry's clean energy transition. |
Typical Case Studies (Value in Action)
Shanghai Disney Resort Distributed Energy Station: Employs a natural gas CCHP system to provide most of the electricity, cooling, and heating for the entire resort—a prime example of highly integrated and efficient complex power supply.
Guangzhou Higher Education Mega Center Distributed Energy Station: One of the largest distributed energy projects in South China, successfully ensuring reliable, green energy supply for a large-scale university district.
Major Hospitals and Data Centers: Widely equipped with high-power natural gas emergency generator sets, guaranteeing the continuous, stable operation of life support systems and servers when the main grid fails, providing dual protection for safety and data.
Features of Deutz units:
1. The unit is small in size and good at container-type modular use. It can be freely assembled, paralleled, and adjusted according to the actual load.
2.The equipment is easy to install, connect, and relocate to meet the needs of different project types.
3. The engine is relatively stable, with good sudden load performance, and can supply the required power in a short time without long preheating.
4. Good power generation efficiency, 6-cylinder performance reaches 38%, 12-cylinder performance reaches 40%
5. Strong fuel adaptability: ethane, propane, butane and other multi-component mixed gases can be used, and the explosion-proof performance is enhanced.
6. Stable power supply: In online standby mode, when a single machine fails and protection load reduction/shutdown occurs, the power supply system automatically adjusts the load to ensure normal power consumption.
7. Strong environmental adaptability: It can operate normally in dust, high temperature, low temperature, high humidity and other environments, and the reliability is greatly improved.
8. Cloud platform remote monitoring system can be equipped: We'll check the operation of the equipment online(customer permitted), inform the hidden dangers in advance, and train customers to use the remote cloud inspection service.
9. Low maintenance cost: The equipment adopts an independent cylinder head, and the maintenance cycle of the maintenance parts on the top of the cylinder head is 16,000 hours.
