Application of lean-burn gas generator sets
in Standby Service

Tim Loehlein

Standby generator sets have been traditionally diesel engine driven and in limited cases stoichiometric (rich burn) natural gas or propane. These are popular choices because they provide a high level of performance and in the case of diesel especially, provide a high ratio of energy per unit volume of fuel stored at site.

Tim Loehlein, Technical Specialist—Electrical for Cummins Power Generation, has crafted a white paper (read it here) on the power of generator sets fueled by natural gas.

Natural gas generator sets have a number of advantages, including low exhaust emissions, higher efficiency, and a reduced carbon footprint. Further, the use of natural gas generators mitigates against the storage issues created by the use of diesel fuel.

Loehlein explains these benefits at length, as well as covering other topics, including:

  • Typical standby performance and ratings
  • Lean-burn NG performance
  • Accessory equipment requirements
  • Cost mitigation through peak shaving or CHP
  • Alternative (renewable) fuels use

Loehlein is a graduate of the University of Minnesota, with a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering and a PE in Minnesota. In more than thirty years with Cummins Power Generation, he has served as Application Engineer, Design Engineer, Technical Project Leader and Manager.



Rose Poultry relies on cogeneration solution
from Cummins Power Generation

Rose Poultry

When Rose Poultry, a chicken production facility in Vinderup, Denmark, needed a complete cogeneration solution, they turned to Cummins Power Generation

(read the article)

The facility, located in this historic rural village, has replaced two generator sets rated at 900 kW each with a new 2 MW lean-burn gas generator set from Cummins Power Generation Inc. In addition to its electrical power needs, the factory has a large daily consumption of hot water, heat and steam. The new system is capable of running continuously for as long as the factory requires

This project represents a milestone for Cummins Power Generation, marking one of the first natural gas generator sets installed by the company. Cummins Power Generation offers complete energy solutions that can include project management, turnkey power plant development, maintenance contracts and operations management. It also has lean-burn technology for cogeneration, alternative fuels and waste-to-energy solutions.
