Key Features of the 750 kW Steyr T12 Parallel Natural Gas Generator
Parallel configuration (3× units): Three identical generator units running in parallel to allow load sharing, redundancy, and flexible capacity up to ~2 200 kW (depending on configuration).
Rated power per unit approx. 250 kW (×3) or a combined figure of ~750 kW for prime power mode. Example spec for T12 ×3 shows 750 kW/937.5 kVA at 1500 rpm.
Engine model Steyr T12: Recognised for lean‑burn and turbocharged natural gas performance.
Fuel type: Natural Gas: Offers lower emissions, cleaner combustion, and often lower fuel cost than diesel gensets.
High reliability & scalability: Parallel setup allows one unit to be taken offline for maintenance while others continue supplying load, enhancing uptime.
Industrial‑grade alternator & control system: Suitable for 50 Hz/60 Hz operation, custom voltages, and designed for heavy‑duty use.
Eco‑friendly & future‑proof: Natural gas genset is a strong transitional solution for lower‑carbon power systems.
Applications of the 750 kW Steyr T12 Parallel Generator
Large‑scale industrial plants: Manufacturing, processing, mining sites where reliable continuous or backup power is critical.
Commercial complexes / data centres / mixed‑use buildings: Where high reliability, redundancy and flexible capacity are needed.
Oil & gas / remote installations / microgrid systems: Where natural gas (or associated gas) is available and multiple units in parallel provide adaptability.
Combined heat & power (CHP) or distributed generation: With natural gas fuel and parallel modules, suitable for cogeneration or island‑mode operations.
Green transition projects: Businesses looking to reduce emissions and move from diesel to cleaner fuel systems.

Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Guidelines
Installation Recommendations
Foundation & Cooling: Establish a solid, stable foundation for each unit, ensuring appropriate ventilation and heat dissipation for the entire system.
Gas & Power Systems: Verify a compliant and reliable gas supply system, and install suitable electrical cabling and protection systems.
Synchronization Equipment: Install and verify the synchronous parallel control equipment necessary for multi-unit operation.
Parallel System Commissioning
Integrated Testing: Ensure all three (or more) units are properly configured via the control system to perform synchronized startup, precise load sharing, seamless parallel switching, and integrated protection functionality.
Load Scenarios: Conduct thorough testing across various load scenarios, including load shedding and restoration, to confirm system stability and response.
Routine Maintenance
System Checks: Regularly inspect the gas supply system, filters, coolant, lubricating oil, and continuously monitor vibration and temperature across all units.
Control Integrity: Routinely check the status of the control panels and verify the function of the synchronization and parallel system components.
Spare Parts and Service Assurance
Critical Spares: Maintain an inventory of critical replacement parts such as gas valves, control modules, synchronization boards, and routine filters.
Maintenance Contract: Enter into an annual maintenance and service agreement with the supplier to ensure long-term stability and significantly reduce the risk of unplanned downtime.
Safety and Environmental Considerations
Gas Safety: Ensure the gas piping system is explosion-proof and leak-free, and that the exhaust system meets necessary standards.
Compliance: Equip the facility with noise reduction/dampening infrastructure and verify that all emissions comply with local regulatory standards.
