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, ...

The growth of renewable energy, and with it the need for reliable backup generation, along with the increase in combined heat and power applications, is contributing to a rise in the use of ...

With applications that range from firming intermittent resources to providing combined heat and power solutions, reciprocating engine manufacturers have made strides to improve their machines’ ...

The reciprocating internal combustion engine is a well proven and familiar technology with decades of use for stationary power generation. Unfortunately, familiarity occasionally results in assumed ...

Testing of lubricants and surfaces on reciprocating systems, like linear compressors and engines, traditionally involves the use of large-scale tribometers before final component testing. This article ...
