Many experts believe power plants constructed with reciprocating engines are the ideal complement to intermittent renewables. Recip plants are extremely flexible. Facilities can be sized for almost ...

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, ...

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 ...

WEC Energy Group announced a pilot project to test co-firing hydrogen with natural gas at one of its Michigan power plants. During the pilot project, hydrogen and natural gas will be mixed up to a ...

MATHEMATICAL analyses of the force required to accelerate the reciprocating parts of six and of eight-cylinder engines and of the axial and perpendicular components of the force needed to accelerate ...

Tucson Electric Power Co. is turning to an age-old technology to back up new renewable-energy resources. A hint: It’s essentially the same technology you use every time you drive your car. The company ...
