The Wärtsilä 34SG is a four-stroke, spark-ignited, lean-burn gas engine generating set. Its agility and flexibility make the Wärtsilä 34SG generating set an excellent choice for both flexible baseload and balancing renewables applications. It also offers a unique fast-starting capability, which enables rapid response to fluctuations inherent to renewable generation.
Wärtsilä 34SG gas engine helps to provide an efficient, reliable and cost-efficient source of energy for power producers. It also provides enough spinning reserve for balancing whenever needed. The Wärtsilä 34SG engine generating set is extremely reliable as it is based on the well-proven Wärtsilä 32 engine, which has a track record from the mid-1990s. The Wärtsilä 34SG features a wide power output range from 5.6 to 9.8 MW, as it is available in 12V, 16V and 20V cylinder configurations. Wärtsilä engine power plants can be delivered both as EPC and Equipment Delivery contracts.
