Containerized power modules
Containerized plug-and-play power generation modules (PM) are a convenient and efficient solution for various power generation needs. These modules are housed in a shipping container, making them easy to transport and install in various locations.
One of the main advantages of containerized power plants is their flexibility. Power generation systems can be customized to meet the specific needs of a particular location or application. They are, therefore, suitable for various situations, such as flexible generation, industrial complexes, remote areas, or emergency power systems.
Another advantage of containerized plug-and-play power modules is their ease of installation. Because they are self-contained units, they can be quickly connected to a power source and brought online. This makes them a convenient solution for areas where access to grid power is limited or unavailable.
Different types of gas, such as natural gas, landfill gas, or biogas, can power these modules. Gas-powered generators are known for their reliability, low emissions, and high efficiency, which makes them a suitable option for various applications.
In terms of maintenance and repair, containerized power plants are easy to maintain, and if a particular module is experiencing problems, it can be isolated and repaired or replaced.
There are many different uses for containerized power modules, but some of the most common are:
Remote or off-grid locations: Containerized power modules are well-suited for use in remote or off-grid areas where traditional power generation infrastructure is unavailable or is challenging to install. They can be easily transported to these locations and quickly connected to the power grid.
Emergency power: Containerized power modules are also commonly used as a backup power source in case of power outages or other emergencies. They can be rapidly deployed to provide temporary power to critical infrastructure or facilities.
Industrial and commercial applications: Containerized power modules are often used in industrial and commercial settings to provide power for manufacturing or other processes. They can be connected to the existing power grid or used as a standalone power source.
Microgrids: Containerized power modules are increasingly being used as a key component in microgrids, small-scale power systems that can operate independently or are connected to the main grid. In addition, they can provide reliable, flexible, and resilient power in case of grid failure.
Data centers: Containerized power modules are used to provide power to data centers.
Overall, containerized power modules offer a flexible and cost-effective solution for various power generation needs and can be used in numerous settings.
The Layout:
External:
Exhaust Gas Silencer
Silencer with integrated catalytic converter. The engine frequency band, required levels, and pressure drop are considered to reduce sound emissions.
Dry Cooler
Dry Cooler is designed to meet engine and use case requirements and ambient temperature and noise restrictions.
Access ladder to roof and railing
Access ladders and railings for auxiliary equipment maintenance and inspections.
Gas connection flange
The plant's gas line connection point.
Internal:
Generator Set
In addition to being able to use a wide range of gaseous fuels (natural gas, biogas, LPG, landfill gas), the generator set has a high degree of flexibility.
Air inlet silencer
Designed to limit the noise generated by the power module and ensure that combustion air flows optimally in the engine room.
Air outlet silencer
Exhaust airflow is maintained by sound-absorbing panels that limit the noise generated by the power module.
Air supply fans
Ventilation of the engine room ensures the dispersal of radiant heat from the unit and supplies combustion air to the engine.
Engine heating system
Heating the engine ensures faster engine starts and reduces engine wear by keeping it at a ready-to-start temperature.
Engine cooling system
The cooling system removes excess heat to maintain the engine's operating temperature.
Gas train
In addition to providing gas to the engine, the gas train includes elements for regulating, measuring, and controlling it.
Oil tanks
There is a tank installed in the container for storing lubricating oil.
Control systems and panels
The system that provides engine management, monitoring, and control. Error messages are date-stamped to identify their sequence.
Safety systems and equipment
There is a smoke alarm system with detectors in the machine and control rooms, as well as a gas warning device in the machine room. Powder fire extinguishers are in the control room.
Air temperature control system
There is an air temperature sensor in the machine room, a heating radiator, and an electric heater/cooler in the control room.
