omania’s energy sector is poised to increasingly rely on hydro-power, wind, and solar energy. These renewable sources, however, are subject to the unpredictability of wind, sunlight, and drought conditions. This variability places significant pressure on the Transmission System Operator (CNTEE Transelectrica SA), which is tasked with ensuring the safety and stability of the National Electricity System. As investments in renewables grow, enhancing investments in peaking / grid balancing capacities becomes critical to address the strains faced by the Transmission System Operator.
INNIO has provided 6 x INNIO Jenbacher JMS 620 GS N.LC – v.J02 offering a total capacity of 20.15 MW for a facility based in Răcari,Dâmbovița, România. Installation of the natural gas fuelled engines was undertaken by Clarke Energy.
The J620 is Type 6 family’s “workhorse”, a V20-cylinder efficient power generation solution, with power output of up to 3,360 kW and electrical efficiency up to 45.9%.
Type 6 engines have features which enhance heat recovery, assure stable combustion, reduce emissions, and increase efficiency.
A centrally-located purged pre-combustion chamber helps provide optimal ignition conditions.
The spark plug ignition energy is amplified in the pre-combustion chamber, facilitating stable and reliable combustion. Miller valve timing creates reduced compression temperature and an increased safety margin to knocking limits, providing improved ignition timing and high efficiency.
