Pioneering sustainable innovations for a limitless tomorrow

In the pursuit of sustainable energy solutions, Kirloskar Oil Engines, a leading player in the power generation industry, has taken a significant leap forward with its innovative Dual Fuel genset technology. Their latest offering integrates the power of hydrogen with conventional diesel engines, paving the way for cleaner and more efficient energy generation.

?

The concept of partially substituting diesel with hydrogen in power generation is not entirely new, but Kirloskar Oil Engines brings forth several advancements and efficiencies. Hydrogen, known for its clean-burning properties and abundant availability, has long been hailed as a promising alternative to fossil fuels. However, its adoption in power generation has been hindered by challenges such as storage, transportation, and cost-effectiveness. Kirloskar Oil Engines’ Dual Fuel gensets tackle these challenges head-on.

?

At the heart of Kirloskar Oil Engines’ Dual Fuel genset lies a sophisticated Programmable Logic Controller which controls the H2 substitution. This device seamlessly manages the transition between hydrogen and diesel operation. This is based on various factors such as load demand, fuel availability and environmental conditions. The intelligent control ensures optimal performance and efficiency while minimising emissions.

?

Flexibility is one of the key advantages of Kirloskar Oil Engines’ Dual Fuel genset. It can operate in diesel or dual fuel mode, depending on the specific requirements of the application and the availability of fuel. With Dual Fuel technology, there is no compromise on safety as these gensets are equipped with leak detectors and flame arrestors. This versatility makes it well-suited for a wide range of industries and applications, ranging from telecommunications and data centres to healthcare facilities and manufacturing plants.

?

With a maximum substitution of hydrogen at around 60% in the dual fuel mode, the environmental benefits are significant. The results that they have obtained from their 4-cylinder 125 kVA @1500 RPM dual fuel engine offer up to 85% smoke reduction, 52% CO2 reduction, and 9% reduction in engine vibrations as compared to similar diesel-powered genset engines.

?

The long-term trends indicate a decrease in hydrogen production costs as renewable energy sources such as wind and solar become more prevalent. By embracing hydrogen technology now, businesses can future-proof their operations and reduce their reliance on fossil fuels, thereby mitigating the risks associated with volatile fuel prices and regulatory uncertainty.

?

Furthermore, Kirloskar Oil Engines’ Dual fuel gensets can be integrated with smart grid technologies and energy storage systems to create a more resilient and sustainable power infrastructure. By leveraging the complementary capabilities of hydrogen and battery storage, businesses can optimise their energy usage, reduce grid dependency, and even participate in demand response programs to support grid stability and reliability.

?

Kirloskar Oil Engines' Dual Fuel gensets represent a significant advancement in the field of power generation, combining the reliability of diesel engines with the clean and efficient power of hydrogen. With its environmental, economic and operational benefits, this innovative solution is poised to drive the transition towards a more sustainable energy future. As the world seeks to reduce its carbon footprint and embrace renewable energy technologies, these Dual Fuel gensets stand out as a shining example of Kirloskar Oil Engines as a technology leader in the genset market.
