ROLLS-ROYCE SHOWCASES ENGINES AND ELECTRICITY GENERATING SETS AT POWERGEN EUROPE

• Single source for high-speed and medium-speed engines for power generation
• Power range from 24 to 9,400 kW_e
• Cogeneration essential for the energy transition in Europe

FRIEDRICHSHAFEN/GERMANY, AMSTERDAM/HOLLAND – From 9 to 11 June 2015, Rolls-Royce will be showcasing its portfolio of power supply solutions at the Powergen Exhibition in Amsterdam (Stand 1C20). Products from mtu Onsite Energy and Bergen Engines include high-speed and medium-speed diesel and gas gensets ranging from 24 to 9,400 kW_e. mtu Onsite Energy and Bergen Engines are part of Rolls-Royce Power Systems within the Land & Sea Division of Rolls-Royce.

“At Powergen 2015, we are showcasing the entire range of high-speed and medium-speed gas and diesel gensets available from a single source at our locations in Europe,” said Andreas Görtz, Director of Sales, Power Generation, Rolls-Royce Power Systems.

Varying incentive systems throughout Europe mean that the demand for gas gensets differs from country to country. “We are absolutely certain that the benefits, in terms of emissions, flexibility, quick start capability and efficiency, mean that gas systems such as those used in compact co-generation modules will prove essential for the energy transition process in Europe,” Andreas Görtz added.

At Powergen Europe 2015, mtu Onsite Energy is presenting its product portfolio for high-speed gas engine systems up to 2,530 kW_e and diesel gensets up to 3,250 kW_e. The exhibition stand will include a model of a gas genset based on mtu Series 4000 engines. The heat and power generating systems produce 1,010 to 2,530 kW_e and are available in 8, 12, 16 and 20 cylinder configurations. The exhibits also include a diesel genset model based on the new generation of mtu Series 2000 engines. The new genset is quieter, more efficient and more compact than previously available gensets. It is equipped with common rail technology and generates up to 1,120 kW_e, providing a 12% increase in range compared to its predecessor. Distributed power plant solutions from mtu Onsite Energy cover both continuous power generation needs as well as emergency and peak generation applications. They perform a critical function in special-purpose applications such as airports, hospitals and computer centers and can also be used as base and peak load power supply plants.

The medium-speed power generation solutions in the Rolls-Royce range come from Bergen Engines. At Powergen Europe 2015, Bergen Engines is showcasing a model genset based on the 20-cylinder, Type B35:40 gas engine. Electricity generation systems based on these gensets are in operation in greenhouses and power plants in Holland, the UK and the Czech Republic. Diesel and gas-powered gensets from Bergen Engines cover a range from 3,700 to 9,400 kW_e while complete electric power generation systems can offer total outputs in excess of 200 MW_e. Their proven technology, high levels of availability and low operating costs mean that these engines are popular with operators around the world. Their robust construction and superior electrical efficiency ratings of up to 48.5% are particularly important features. Typical applications include base-load generation for electricity providers; grid load-balancing and peak-load supply; combined heat and power generation; combined heat, power and cooling plants; emergency power and mechanical drive power in the oil and gas industry.
