Wärtsilä Corporation - Provider of Decentralized Power Generation

Wärtsilä is a leading provider of power plants, operation and lifetime care services in decentralized power generation.

The company provides power plants for baseload, intermediate, peaking, standby and combined heat and power applications as well as solutions for oil pumping. The product range comprises gas- and oil-fired power plants with outputs from 1MW to 300MW, biopower plants with outputs from 1MWe to 5MWe and biothermal plants for 3MWth to17MWth.

Wärtsilä has become a global leader in power plants based on multi-fuel reciprocating engines. Wärtsilä delivers yearly 1,500MW to 2,000MW of power plants, of which more than one third are gas based. The worldwide base of Wärtsilä power plants currently raises up to 34,000MW.

Wärtsilä power plant products are based on state-of-the-art, environmentally advanced engines, generating sets, power systems and the patented BioGrate® combustion technology that offers new solutions for renewable energy. The packaging of these core products varies to meet the market needs of our customers. Examples of some of our products are described below.

OIL POWER PLANTS

Wärtsilä oil power plants range from 1MW to 300MW. High efficiency, low emissions and proven long-term reliability make the plants suitable for stationary and floating baseload, as well as stand-by applications.

The modular design of Wärtsilä oil power plants enables fast-track delivery anywhere in the world. A Wärtsilä 100MW power plant can be in commercial operation in as little as nine months from order placement.

GAS POWER PLANTS

Wärtsilä gas power plants are designed for optimal performance in a wide variety of decentralized power production in both intermediate and baseload applications, giving full output at high altitudes and in hot ambient conditions.

The 4MW to 150MW plants are based on 4MW to 17MW engine units operating on natural gas or in dual-fuel mode (natural gas/liquid fuel oil).

COMBINED HEAT AND POWER (CHP) PLANTS

Wärtsilä's 4MW to 100MW combined heat and power (CHP) plants incorporate both power and heat generation. The system for heat generation, producing either low-pressure steam, hot water or both, trigeneration, etc., is optimally designed for the customer's needs and requirements.

Total plant efficiencies rise to above 90%. Wärtsilä CHP plants can run on various natural gas and liquid fuel qualities, while maintaining low emissions and high efficiency.

PRIME MOVERS FOR POWER GENERATION AND OIL / GAS FIELD APPLICATIONS

For the oil and gas industry, Wärtsilä provides pre-engineered power generation equipment and complete prime movers and their auxiliaries.

• Gas engines 4,100kW to 9,000kW
• Diesel, crude oil or residual fuel oil engines 1,000kW to 17,550kW
• Dual-fuel engines 6,300kW to 17,550kW

Prefabricated and pretested modules guarantee consistent quality and performance and make on-site installation simply a matter of assembling and connecting the modules.

BIOPOWER PLANTS

Wärtsilä's patented rotating BioGrate combustion technology is especially suitable for wet biomass, such as wood residues, wood chips, bark and sawdust. The plants either produce thermal energy for district heating or for drying and other industrial processes, or they can be built as combined heat and power plants.
