We appreciate your interest in Wärtsilä's solutions. Please have a look at the material provided below. These are suggestions and recommendations from us. We hope that this can be the basis for further discussions and eventually a proposal for you.

This is how a power plant could look based on your selections

Here is a visualisation of a power plant that is of similar size as you selected (click on the image to view full screen). When we deepen our discussions we can provide a layout visualisation that is according to the exact specifications of your power plant project.

Suggested range of engines

Based on your selections we suggest that you familiarize yourself with our range of gas engines. Once we have a deeper understanding of your power plant needs we can further define which specific engine model is most suitable for your power plant project.

The main products in our gas engine range are presented here:

Wärtsilä 34SG (ca 10MW unit) - agility and flexibility combined with high efficiency over the whole load range and in any operating profile makes this plant excellent for both flexible baseload and peak load, and supporting the grid with a variety of ancillary services.

Enabling an increase in variable generation with more flexible capacity that can rapidly start up when needed.

Intermittent renewable energy generation in the United States has seen a staggering 700% increase between 2008 and 2019, with solar and wind generation accounting for around 350 million MWh of power generation in 2019. The subsequent increase in variable generation means that flexibility is increasingly important in the energy system.

Cooperative Energy, a not-for-profit electricity cooperative covering 432,000 homes and businesses in the US state of Mississippi, was looking to upgrade one of its plants in order to help it supply affordable, flexible and reliable power. Wärtsilä’s comprehensive solution comprises a plant powered by two gas-fired Wärtsilä 31SG engine generating sets and covered by a 10-year service agreement.
