PEAKING POWER SOLUTIONS

Today, utilities are finding it more and more difficult to meet the demand for electric power during peak usage periods. And, in today's deregulated power market economy, these shortages cause the price of power at those peak demand times to be a significantly more than power at times of low usage. Utilities need fast and flexible power solution to meet peak demand.

Save Today with Peaking Power


Caterpillar has developed cost effective power generation solutions specifically for peaking power plants. In the new Gas G3520 reciprocating engine product lines, we've been able to increase efficiencies while at the same time reduce emissions. Some of the benefits of using G3520 engine for Peaking Power Plants are:

Reduce risk and worry with the highest reliability equipment in the marketplace.
Reduce Capital Investment by as much as 25% on $/kW basis.
Reduce Operational Cost by as much as 10%.
Quick Delivery and Installation - you can start producing power in less than 6 months.
Quick start in less than 1 minute.

Peaking Power Plants based on reciprocating engine generators offer the fastest delivery and shortest commissioning time of any comparably sized turbine power system from 1 MW to 100 MW. A Peaking Power Plant using Caterpillar reciprocating generator sets can be set up in less than six months.


Ring Power has experience in installing several 25-50 MW power plants in Florida and is capable of providing unmatched product support with 15 service locations in North and Central Florida.


Distributed Generation


Distributed generation is the integration or stand-alone use of modular electric generation close to the point of consumption. It can be located near end-users within an industrial area, inside a building, or in a community. The downstream location of distributed generation, the power distributed network, provides benefits for both customers and the electric-distribution system.


Distributed Generation (DG) benefits everyone. Utilities reduce their investment in costly central power plants and power lines; customers who install on-site generating equipment share in those savings. Under programs known as "peaking sharing," utility customers install generator sets and operate them at times of peak utility power demand, when directed by the utility. In return, the utility pays monthly credits or grants special interruptible pricing. Payback on the generating equipment is often three years or less.


The New Paradigm


Distributed generation has emerged as a technology with immediate and longer-term benefits. Small-scale power systems, installed on multiple commercial and industrial customers' sites, can function as a "virtual power plant" under utility control. Utilities can dispatch these distributed systems to enhance local grid stability, meet peak demands, capitalize on favorable market prices, and more.


Distributed generation lets utilities add capacity in small increments, requiring far less investment than central based load power plants or large peaking units. Diesel- and gas fueled engine-generator sets are well suited for distributed generation.
