Key Features of the 500 kW Steyr T12 Dual‑Unit Natural Gas Generator
Dual‑unit parallel configuration: Two 500 kW generator sets operating together, enabling flexible load management, redundancy, and ease of maintenance.
Rated output per unit: 500 kW (each unit) at designated frequency/voltage – making a combined capacity up to ~1000 kW when both operate in parallel.
Engine model Steyr T12: Proven gas engine platform with robust design for heavy duty use.
Fuel type: Natural Gas: Cleaner‑burning fuel alternative, suitable for environmentally sensitive applications and regions with gas availability.
Lean‑burn combustion control: The Steyr T12 engine features lean‑combustion and closed‑loop control technology, offering improved fuel economy and lower emissions.
Scalable setup: Parallel configuration allows seamless expansion, load sharing and operational flexibility.
Industrial grade alternator & control panel: Suitable for 50 Hz / 60 Hz operation, various voltages, with automatic load transfer and parallel control systems.
Redundancy & reliability: Even when one unit is offline for service or standby, the second unit continues to supply power—minimizing risk of outage.
Customizable installation: Options for sound‑attenuated enclosures, container‑type modules, high voltage configurations, remote monitoring.
Applications of the 500 kW Steyr T12 Parallel Natural Gas Generator
Industrial manufacturing plants: Reliable backup or primary power for large motors, production lines, critical equipment.
Commercial complexes & data centres: Dual‑unit arrangement ensures high availability and seamless failover for mission‑critical loads.
Oil & gas field/remote deployment: The Steyr T12 platform is referenced in field‑gas applications—suitable for remote sites, exploration camps, modular installations.
Distributed power / micro‑grid systems: With natural gas fuel and parallel units, this system can integrate into micro‑grids or cogeneration solutions.
Green transition projects: As organizations shift to lower‑carbon fuel sources, a natural gas generator set offers a transitional low‑emission solution.
