Track 2: Repositioning Conventional Power Generation
The new E-series gas engine is based on the thermodynamic Miller cycle combustion technology that ensures high reliability, minimal emissions, and longer run times between service intervals. With a mechanical efficiency of about 47 percent and an electrical efficiency of 45.4 percent, the engine offers a high level of performance for both prime power generation and cogeneration applications. The new gas engine E-series includes both the SGE-86EM for the 50-Hz market and the SGE-100EM for the 60-Hz market. The new E-series engine has 12 cylinders and offers a large volume per cylinder, high displacement and best-in-class efficiency in the market. With the new 2-MW SGE-86EM and the SGE-100EM engines, Siemens is providing a broader spectrum of efficient products and solutions for clean, low-MW-range distributed power generation. This new E-series engine is especially well-suited for renewable energy and waste-to-energy, industrial power generation and cogeneration, and combined heat and power (CHP) applications, like the one planned for the Siemens Campus in Erlangen, Germany. The Erlangen Campus will create a new urban district and debut as Siemens' first CO2-neutral location worldwide. In collaboration with Erlangen's municipal utility, the campus will operate on a CO2-neutral basis, thanks to state-of-the-art building and energy technology. A decentralized energy system that uses a separate cogeneration system based on four SGE-86EM engines will provide district heating and cooling for the campus. This system will be combined with a single concept in order to adapt to the existing energy infrastructure and will eliminate expensive development or expansion of the existing infrastructure. The units are expected to be delivered to the site in 2018.
