Durable Generator Power System and Method of Use

Abstract

A dual-fuel variable speed load matching power generation system provides electrical power output to match an electric load and can operate completely independently of a central-type electrical power grid. The system includes an electrically controlled air and fuel, variable speed, dual-fuel, liquid-cooled engine and a liquid-cooled alternator that is configured to output an electrical supply between approximately 0.5 kW and 40 kW. The system controller is configured to modulate engine speed through both variable fuel flow and air flow into the engine. The speed of the engine may be controlled to control the output of the genset to meet prevailing electrical loads. The variable speed engine is configured to modulate between an operating speed of approximately 500 RPM to 3,600 RPM and has an average maintenance cycle of approximately 4,000 operating hours to 8,000 operating hours.
