Wärtsilä is a leading supplier of flexible power plants for the decentralized power generation market. Wärtsilä offers solutions and engines for flexible baseload operation, grid stability, and peaking services and for industrial self generation, including specific solutions for the oil & gas industry.
Wärtsilä power plants, for power generation only or for combined heat and power generation, range in size from one MW up to hundreds of MW:s and are based on single or multiple engines from Wärtsilä’s range of reciprocating engines. These engines offer the large advantage of fuel flexibility since they have the ability to run on a wide range of gases and oils, even liquid biofuel. The engines can also be converted from one fuel to another if the need arises.
In addition, Wärtsilä’s decentralized power plants offer high simple cycle efficiency, also at partial loads, operational flexibility, rapid start-up and and high availability and reliability. In short, Wärtsilä reciprocating engines provide an interesting and competitive alternative to the conventional model of centralized power plants.
Wärtsilä has a long history and extensive experience in the design, building and turn-key supply of power plants, executing over 100 power plant projects each year. At the end of 2009, Wärtsilä had more than 43 GW of power installed in power plants in 166 countries around the world.
