GAS GENERATOR SETS Electric utilities can operate gas engine generators continuously to serve base electrical loads. This is particularly advantageous in the absence of a reliable centralized power plant, or where the economics and availability of natural gas fuel are key drivers. Gas engine generators are also commonly used to handle peak loads. Spikes in demand for utility grid electric power typically occur in the early morning before the workday, and in the late afternoon after the workday ends. Most people can relate to getting home from work and immediately flipping the light switch, turning...

INTERNATIONAL POWER PROJECTS (IPP) International Power Projects, also known as short-term distributed generation projects, represent an effective solution for utility companies and larger scale utility consumers that are experiencing temporary gaps in their power supplies. In most cases, a distributed generation plant is connected to the existing utility grid at voltages ranging from 14 to 225 kV. However, a plant can also operate as its own utility grid when required – in isolated locations, at remote mines or on large construction sites, for example. The contract period for these projects typically...
