Natural gas engine generators (gas generators): description and advantages over diesel generators

Gas engine generators are units that use reciprocating engines running on natural gas to produce electricity. They consist of an internal combustion engine, an alternator (AC generator), a gas supply system and a cooling system. Gas engine generators are used for both prime and standby power in various industries, commercial buildings and private households.

Operating principle

Gas engine generators operate on the Otto cycle: the fuel-air mixture burns in the engine cylinders, driving the pistons. The motion of the pistons is converted into rotation of the crankshaft, which drives the alternator and generates electric current. The gas supply system ensures a stable supply of natural gas, while the cooling system prevents the engine from overheating.

Advantages of gas engine generators

1. Cost efficiency: Natural gas is a cheaper fuel than diesel. This reduces the operating costs of power generation.
2. Environmental friendliness: Gas engine generators produce fewer harmful emissions (such as nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide and particulate matter) than diesel generators. This makes them a cleaner option for power supply.
3. Lower noise: Gas engine generators run quieter than diesel units, which is an important advantage in densely populated areas or wherever low noise levels matter.
4. Longer service life: Thanks to less wear on components and cleaner fuel, gas engine generators last longer and require less maintenance.
5. Fuel flexibility: Gas engine generators can run on different types of gas, including biogas, making them a versatile solution for various energy sources.
6. Stable operation: Natural gas provides stable combustion and a constant power output, which is essential for uninterrupted power supply.

Comparison with diesel generators

1. Fuel: Diesel generators run on diesel fuel, which is more expensive and less environmentally friendly than natural gas. They also require a more complex exhaust aftertreatment system to reduce emissions.
2. Emissions: Diesel generators produce more greenhouse gas and particulate emissions, which harm the environment. Gas engine generators, by contrast, are more environmentally friendly.
3. Noise level: Diesel generators are significantly noisier, which can cause discomfort to users and people nearby. Gas engine generators run quieter, an advantage in residential areas.
4. Operating costs: Diesel generators have higher operating costs due to more expensive fuel and more frequent maintenance. Gas engine generators have lower maintenance costs thanks to less component wear.
5. Service life: Gas engine generators usually have a longer service life thanks to cleaner fuel and less component wear. This makes them more cost-effective in the long term.

Economic payback estimate for a natural gas generator

Assumptions:

1. Generator efficiency factor: 1 m³ of gas = 4 kWh of electricity.
2. Gas price: 18 UAH/m³.
3. Grid electricity price: 9 UAH/kWh.
4. Generator power: 1000 kW.
5. Generator price: USD 225,000 (approximately 8,100,000 UAH at 36 UAH/USD).

Calculation

Cost of grid electricity

1. Monthly electricity consumption:

• The generator runs around the clock: 24 hours × 30 days = 720 hours.
• Electricity consumption: 1000 kW × 720 hours = 720,000 kWh.

1. Cost of grid electricity:

• 720,000 kWh × 9 UAH/kWh = 6,480,000 UAH.

Gas costs for the generator

1. Generator gas consumption:

• 720,000 kWh of electricity is required.
• Gas required: 720,000 kWh / 4 kWh/m³ = 180,000 m³.

1. Cost of gas:

• 180,000 m³ × 18 UAH/m³ = 3,240,000 UAH.

Total costs

1. Generator price:

• 8,100,000 UAH.

1. Total monthly costs of the gas generator:

• 3,240,000 UAH (cost of gas).

Generator payback

1. Monthly electricity savings:

• 6,480,000 UAH (electricity) - 3,240,000 UAH (gas) = 3,240,000 UAH.

1. Payback period:

• 8,100,000 UAH (generator price) / 3,240,000 UAH (monthly savings) = approximately 2.5 months.

Conclusion

The gas generator will pay for itself in approximately 2.5 months compared with buying electricity from the central grid, given that 1 m³ of gas generates 4 kWh of electricity and at current gas and electricity prices.

Gas engine generators: a reliable solution for uninterrupted power supply

In today's world, a stable power supply is critically important for business and home comfort. During power outages, however, a reliable source of electricity becomes a necessity. Gas engine generators running on natural gas are an ideal solution for ensuring uninterrupted power supply in both commercial and residential settings.

What is a gas engine generator?

Gas engine generators use a reciprocating internal combustion engine running on natural gas to produce electricity. These generators consist of several main components: the engine, the alternator (AC generator), the gas supply system, the cooling system and the control system. The reciprocating engine drives the alternator, which generates electric current.
