Wärtsilä’s Sean Hughes shares why engine-based data center onsite generation is ascending the podium in the race to power up ...

For decades the technology chosen for a particular size power block was based on the largest size gas turbine that would fit. The installed cost of a power plant with one gas turbine costs less than a ...

Utilities and generation planners have traditionally relied on hourly grid modeling to optimize their decision-making. However, as intermittent renewable energy resources are increasingly deployed, ...

The growth of renewable energy, and with it the need for reliable backup generation, along with the increase in combined heat and power applications, is contributing to a rise in the use of ...

Once merely a staple of backup and distributed generation, reciprocating engines are now challenging other resources for utility-scale generation—in addition to carving out some new niches. Grant ...

The reciprocating engine has been all the rage for at least three centuries. The first widely adopted engine of this type was the steam engine with a piston translating linear motion into rotational ...

Testing of lubricants and surfaces on reciprocating systems, like linear compressors and engines, traditionally involves the use of large-scale tribometers before final component testing. This article ...
