Stationary Diesel Overview
HOW A STATIONARY DIESEL POWER PLANT WORKS:
Stationary diesel plants are known for their high or fast availability and flexibility; however‚ they typically have lower MW unit capacity than steam‚ gas‚ hydro or combined cycle power plants. Because of their high or fast availability‚ it is common for these facilities to be utilized in support of renewable power plants‚ such as wind. Stationary diesel plants can come on line quickly and ramp up to full output in less than 10 minutes. Moreover‚ diesel engines that operate in this market are flexible - burning a wide range of commercially available liquid or gaseous fuel which gives them a wide range of opportunity in the power generation portfolio.
Stationary diesel engines play a critical role supporting the operation of a nation’s most important businesses. They serve as emergency back up power for‚ hospitals‚ large manufacturing facilities‚ and government facilities. Also‚ stationary diesel engine systems provide back-up power to nuclear power plants due in large part to their reliability and ability to maintain plat safety in emergencies. Coal-fired power plants also rely on diesels for material handling.
