On April 8th, news came from the Power Equipment Research Institute that after continuous scientific research and development, the company's independently developed high-power gas power equipment L20V200 gas generator set has made breakthrough progress in key performance indicators - the unit's electrical efficiency has reached 42%, taking a solid step towards the high-end, green, and intelligent development of domestic equipment manufacturing.
"Electric efficiency is the soul indicator of gas-fired power generation units, which represents how much of the gas burned by the unit is truly converted into electricity rather than ultimately wasted. "Researcher Zhao Erlan said that electric efficiency represents the effective proportion of the unit's conversion of the heat energy generated by gas combustion into electrical energy, and is the key to measuring the performance of the unit, directly related to the economic, environmental, sustainable, and safety of the product.
The electric efficiency reaches 40%, which has always been the industry threshold for high-power gas power generation products for non-road use, and there are very few products in the industry that can break through this indicator.
Compared to the previous 190 gas engine products, the cylinder diameter and stroke of the 200 series have increased, the power has exceeded 2 megawatts, and the electrical efficiency index also needs to keep up.
Zhao Erlan stated that in order to further develop a gas power generation tool with market competitiveness, the company focuses on continuous research and development of key indicators, and has carried out a series of design optimizations and technological innovations in the combustion organization, gas distribution phase, intake and exhaust systems, and boost matching of the L20V200 high-power natural gas engine, promoting the product's electrical efficiency from 38% to 42%, reaching the international advanced level.
Technological innovation knows no bounds. According to China National Petroleum Corporation's work plan, in the next step, the company will continue to promote technology research and development efficiency projects driven by innovation, actively expand technology, and gradually extend the product advantages of L20V200 gas generator sets to more gas power equipment, striving to achieve overall improvement in engine product performance.
