Founded in 1834, Wärtsilä Corporation is the leading global ship power supplier and a major provider of decentralized power generation systems and supporting services. Wärtsilä's power plant business provides complete turnkey power plants from 1 to 300 MW, including gas- and oil-fired plants for baseload, intermediate, peakload, standby and combined heat and power (CHP) applications. The company’s biomass-fuelled plants have outputs from 1 to 17 MW.
Wärtsilä has become a global leader in power plants based on multi-fuel reciprocating engines. The company delivers around 2000 MW of new power plants per year. The worldwide base of Wärtsilä power plants is currently more than 33,000 MW.
Wärtsilä's power plant products are based on state-of-the-art, environmentally advanced engines. The packaging of these core products varies to meet the market needs of the customers. Examples of some of the products are described below.
The 1-300 MW baseload power plants with multi-fuel capability (a large variety of fuel oils and gases), high efficiency, low emissions and proven long-term reliability have made Wärtsilä the leader in this demanding market segment.
The 25-170 MW floating, or barge-mounted baseload power plant has become the natural choice in its market segment because of its mobility, short delivery time, competitive generation cost and proven long-term reliability.
Wärtsilä's high efficiency peakload plants are designed to run parallel with the transmission grid when demand - and prices - are at their highest. Wärtsilä’s oil- and gas-fuelled power plants are value engineered for applications of 1000-6000 operating hours per year. Due to their environmentally advanced design, our power plants are permitted to operate more hours than the traditional peakload plant profile of 100-500 h/a. An ‘intermediate’ peakload plant is optimized for operation 1000-6000 h/a.
A lower cost power plant with minimal environmental impact will always be dispatched first and disengaged last, creating more revenues for its operators. Peakload plant sizes up to 150 MWe have been found ideal for the IPP and Energy Service Company markets.
Typically 2-60 MW, the Wärtsilä CHP plant includes thermal heat recovery for e.g. hot water or steam – raising an already highly efficient electric generation plant to a total efficiency of up to 90%.
Wärtsilä oil power plants for standby operation combine high power density with quick starts, durability, excellent load pickup performance and easy maintenance. It is an ideal solution to increase reliability of power.
Wärtsilä standby power plants are well suited for turbine blackstarts, data co-location centres and large industrial standby applications.
Wärtsilä offers you the power solution for every phase of oil and gas exploration, production, transportation and refining, both onshore and offshore. Wärtsilä has more than 3000 MW of power in the oil and gas arena.
Proven reliability, fuel flexibility and low emissions of Wärtsilä’s oil power plants make them suitable for demanding applications in the oil & gas industry, such as; processing facilities, pump stations, compressor stations, marine terminals etc.
Wärtsilä pumping units are equipped with multi-fuel engines able to run on crude oil (CRO), heavy fuel oil (HFO) or light fuel oil (LFO). Also gas-fuelled engines can be utilized as pump drives.
Wärtsilä BioEnergy thermal energy plants and BioPower CHP plants are highly modular in structure and built around standardized components, making project delivery fast and installation easy.
