The plants are hybrid-renewable microgrid solutions which will integrate solar photovoltaic technology, batteries, and baseload cogeneration for maximum use of renewable and cleaner energy, the company.”

The B36:45 gas engine is a medium-speed lean-burn unit designed to produce up to 12 MW of mechanical power with optimised combustion technology and excellent load responsiveness. The design has been driven by stringent requirements for lower exhaust emissions, highest possible electrical and heat recovery efficiency, coupled with top-quality reliability, reports Bergen.
