Modern reciprocating engines are enabling reliable power generation while balancing renewable energy growth. Their rapid-response capabilities and multi-fuel flexibility are crucial to grid stability.
Utilities and generation planners have traditionally relied on hourly grid modeling to optimize their decision-making. However, as intermittent renewable energy resources are increasingly deployed, ...
A natural gas-fired plant to be located behind-the-meter of an Ohio data center campus was approved for construction this week. The 200-megawatt (MW) Socrates South Power Generation Project is to be ...
Greenville Electric Utility System (GEUS) has broken ground on a 104-MW power plant that will deploy 11 Jenbacher J920 FleXtra reciprocating engines, marking the largest U.S. installation of the ...
When you consider the crazy monkey motion of reciprocating internal combustion engines it is remarkable they work as well as they do. You have eight pistons and connecting rods doing a “do-si-do” ...
It has come to our attention that many of the top drag racing builders are overbalancing their engine assemblies. Basically, this is done to help high-rpm out-of-balance conditions and generate longer ...
Conventional gasoline engines have a basic fault; their reciprocating parts (pistons, connecting rods, etc.) must be stopped and started thousands of times per minute. This wastes power, and it also ...
