IPPs & Utilities
Enabling reliable grid operations
Electricity remains essential for independent power producers (IPPs), utility companies, municipalities, manufacturers, and industrial operations. Meeting their critical energy needs requires solutions that combine reliability, efficiency, and flexibility.
Our dedicated Jenbacher experts are available to provide personal consultation.
INNIO Group’s Jenbacher engines are designed to support distributed and dispatchable power generation, helping organizations address diverse operational requirements while adapting to evolving energy landscapes.
Jenbacher engines provide robust performance in a wide range of applications, including power generation, cogeneration/combined heat and power (CHP), municipal services, and grid support in combination with renewables, especially where flexible and dispatchable generation is needed. With containerized, ready-to-use packages, Jenbacher technology enables rapid deployment and simplified installation, supporting both new projects and upgrades to existing infrastructure.
Real-world application
This approach delivers results. For example, the Dettenhausen municipal utility in Germany operates a Jenbacher CHP plant that supplies electricity and heat to local residents and businesses. The plant’s flexible operation supports both base load and peak demand, contributing to grid stability and energy security. With proven electrical efficiency yields of up to 48% and total CHP system efficiencies up to 95%, Jenbacher solutions help IPPs and utilities achieve reliable performance and lower emissions compared to conventional technologies.
The Jenbacher solution
Jenbacher engines are available in a range of outputs, from 250 kW to 10.6 MW per unit, and can be combined for larger installations to support peaking, balancing, and distributed generation applications. Modular design simplifies maintenance and supports scalability, while compact footprints help reduce space requirements. Decades of on-site operational experience further contribute to the reliability and resilience of Jenbacher technology in demanding environments.
Digital support with myplant
To enhance operational transparency and asset management, INNIO’s myplant digital platform offers remote monitoring and support. With the myplant solution, businesses can monitor engine performance, improve planning, and increase asset availability, supporting longer equipment life and efficient operation.
By integrating proven Jenbacher technology with advanced digital support, IPPs and utilities can deliver dependable, dispatchable power, respond to changing market needs, and support grid stability alongside the transition to a cleaner energy future.
Key Benefits of Distributed Power Solutions for IPPs
- Help improve plant economics in peaking and flexible generation applications
- Support rapid deployment with modular plant concepts designed for flexible project requirements.
- Respond quickly to peak demand and renewable variability to help support grid stability.
- Provide balancing power that complements intermittent renewable generation.
- Benefit from decades of experience across a wide range of power generation applications.
- Help reduce maintenance complexity and support efficient serviceability.
- Help reduce space requirements and support installation in constrained locations.
- Adapt output to project needs with multi-unit configurations that support flexibility and resilience.
Grid Stability: Supporting the energy transition with Jenbacher solutions
As the world shifts to renewables, their impact on the electric grid’s design and operation grows profound. This transition, driven by various factors including new participants in the energy sector, triggers demand for additional services such as grid balancing. INNIO Group supports this development with Jenbacher energy solutions, reinforcing grid operations and maintaining resilience.
