Why stationary gas engines are on the rise

The growing demand for cleaner energy, the need for reliable supply, and a shift toward decentralised power generation have combined to create perfect conditions for stationary gas engines to rise in prominence. Due to their flexibility and strong performance characteristics, gas engines are increasingly being used as part of:

  • Peaking power plants – As providers of electric power to the grid, these plants rely on stability and flexibility whether they are ramping up or winding down, making gas engines a perfect solution.
  • District heating – As a more reliable and responsive alternative to gas turbines or coal, stationary gas engines are more frequently integrated into combined heat and power (CHP) plants.
  • Commercial buildings – With greater energy needs, and a demand for the supply to be as reliable as possible, commercial units see gas engines as a good fit for their operational needs.

Mysella S7 N Ultra: Powering next-generation stationary gas engines2

As engine technology and designs have evolved to meet changing power demands, so have the gas-engine oils that keep them operating as efficiently as possible.

Suitable for highly-rated, 4-stroke, spark-ignition engines – especially those with steel pistons – Shell Mysella S7 N Ultra embodies these lubricant developments, providing power sector operators with:

  • 4,000 hours ODI – Up to double the current industry performance for oil life.
  • Excellent deposit handling – Contributing to trouble-free piston running, having been proven over 45,000+ hours of field test trials in more than 10 Jenbacher Type 6 engines.
  • 24+ bar brake mean effective pressure (BMEP) – Extends ODI for the 24 bar BMEP market, with the capacity to support future engines that have an even higher BMEP.
