In order to protect our natural habitat,
HYUNDAI is always looking for improved technology for our products and services.
Our natural gas and dual fuel solutions with lower
emission will help to maintain clean planet for our children and for the future.
Gas engines have lower emission rates and high efficiency in energy production. As emission regulations become stricter, gas operation has advantages such as low NOx / CO₂, and no SOx / Particle emissions.
Gas engines are one of the most economical options in the various power sources. The operation and maintenance costs are especially lower than other plant running on different fuels.
CAPEX For Various Power SourcesGas engines have a shorter start time compared with gas turbines. It takes 15 to 40 minutes for turbines to start, whereas gas engine only takes 2 to 7 minutes.
Gas engines are able to operate more stable than gas turbine under different ambient temperatures. While turbine power plant shows around 10% derating, gas engine power plant shows only 1% derating. Gas Turbine is also more sensitive at part load.
Ambient Temperature Impact To Gas Turbine & Engine Plant OutputThe Cubit Power One adopted HYUNDAI's 11MW gas engines(12H35/40GV x 2sets) help reducing air pollution with SCR(Selective Catalytic Reduction) and improving high efficiency with CHP(Combined Heat & Power) system. The Cubit Power One station has shown remarkable performances in stable electric power supply regardless of hot and humid summer and heavily snowing winter in Staten Island.
In February 2017, HYUNDAI received an order from TERMONORTE S.A.S E.S.P., for engineering, procurement and construction. The contract consists of 10 sets of HiMSEN dual fuel engine generator to supply continuous power to national grid in Colombia, South America. The power plant was handed over in November 2018 to the customer and is currently under commercial operation.
This is for IPP project to supply electric power in Kamaz factory. To catch customer's short delivery time, HYUNDAI recommended to use enclosure type power plant and provided full technical support for engineering. Under HYUNDAI’s full technical supports, it was successfully constructed within 12 months after the contract.
The 25MW gas engine power plant in Beshel Industrial Park in the north of Iran is the most efficient plant in the country. It has the capacity of generating 25MW of electricity for increasing the stability of the grid in the North of Iran.
