Performance

 
 

Installation of the Eco-Energys Bi-Fuel System in no way compromises the performance of the generator relative to the rated load of the machine. A generator with a 1000 KVA stand-by rating which has been retrofitted to Eco-Energys Bi-Fuel System will still provide 1000 KVA of power in both 100% diesel and Bi- Fuel modes. In other words, the generator is not de- rated after installation of the Bi-Fuel System. Similarly, there is no decrease in generator load response or stability while operating in either fuel mode.

SAVINGS

 
 

Savings derived from the use of Eco-Energys Bi-Fuel System are the result of either:

  • The differential between the cost per KVA charged by the utility and the cost per KVA to produce power with a Bi-Fuel generator or,
  • in the case of existing diesel prime power operations, the differential in the cost of diesel fuel and natural gas.

 
 
     
 
 

Utility Supplied Power:

Due to the premium prices which utility companies usually charge for on-peak electricity, it is often most viable to operate the Bi-Fuel generator as a peak-shaver, whereby power is produced on-site only during those hours when electricity is at it’s highest price from the utility. In order to determine the cost of producing power with a Bi-Fuel generator, several factors must be considered including:

    • Cost of Natural Gas
    • Cost of Diesel Fuel
    • Cost of Maintenance Program for the Generator
    • Cost of Future Engine Overhauls
