SMCC Group provides you with efficient, flexible, and sustainable power generation equipment and station construction. There are various forms of power stations, and different classification standards are chosen, resulting in different types. According to the purpose and fuel of the power station, it is classified as follows:

1. Internal Combustion Engine Power Stations can be Classified into Three Types Based on Fuel: Gas power station, Fuel oil power station, and Dual fuel power station.

1.1 Gas power station: refers to an energy station that uses gas as fuel and an internal combustion engine as the prime mover to drive a generator, converting mechanical energy into electrical and thermal energy. Most of them are small and medium-sized power stations below 300MW, which are economical, environmentally friendly, have low fuel costs, and flexible in operation.

1.2 Fuel oil power station: refers to an energy station that uses fuel as fuel and an internal combustion engine as the prime mover to drive a generator, converting mechanical energy into electrical and thermal energy. Most of them are small and medium-sized power stations below 300MW, with low investment, short construction period, high reliability, and easy maintenance. Among them, fuel power stations can be classified into heavy oil power stations, crude oil power stations, diesel power stations, biomass oil power stations, etc.

1.3 Dual fuel power station: refers to a power station that uses both fuel and gas as fuel, and an internal combustion engine as the prime mover to drive a generator to generate electricity. It can use a mixture of fuel (diesel or heavy oil) and gas as fuel, or operate solely on fuel in the absence of gas. Dual fuel power stations are suitable for locations with insufficient or unstable gas supply.

2. Classified by Power Station Usage: divided into Fixed power stations, Mobile power stations, Floating power stations (power barges), Containerized power stations, etc.

2.1 Fixed power station: There are two types of power stations: basic power stations and emergency backup power stations. When determining the type of power station to be selected, multiple factors should be considered, among which the most critical is the load factor.

2.2 Mobile power station: generally composed of a generator car and an auxiliary car, it is an independent and complete power generation device or system; It is mainly divided into three categories: automobile power stations, train power stations, and trailer power stations. Widely used as an emergency power source in urban emergency, disaster relief, power supply, military equipment and other fields.

2.3 Floating power station (power barge): A power barge refers to a specially designed vessel that can quickly provide electricity, heating, and drinking water for natural disasters, offshore operations that are difficult to cover by the power grid, and remote areas. Suitable for coastal areas and large river basins.

2.3 Containerized power station: Containerized power station refers to a power station composed of one or more containerized generator sets. The advantages are short construction period, low investment, and high flexibility. Suitable for field use in mines, oil fields, etc.
