By Ed Ritchie As distributed energy continues to grow in commercial applications, internal combustion engines remain the dominant driver of generation sets. And despite the argument for more sustainable methods such as wind, solar, and fuel cells, internal combustion has the advantage economically. When paired with high efficiency combined heat and power applications, they’re more than likely to maintain a commanding market share for years to come. But that doesn’t mean manufacturers are resting on thei...... continue reading

POMPANO BEACH, FL, Feb. 16, 2011. Cyclone Power Technologies Inc. (Pink Sheets: CYPW) has successfully completed a third phase of performance tests of its heat-regenerative external combustion engine for Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems (IDS), a business of Raytheon Company . The tests verified by Raytheon demonstrated that Cyclone's prototype, water-cooled "Stingray" engine achieved thermal efficiencies over 30%. Applied to a large diameter unmanned undersea vehicle, such efficiency yields double cu...... continue reading

By Carol Brzozowski A net electrical efficiency peak of more than 80% is expected to be derived from Combined Heat and intelligent Power (CHiP), an innovative plant that will be the first of its kind in the world as its installation proceeds in Greater London, England. Driving the innovation will be four MAN B&W 10L35MC-S engines. The end result: by 2010, greater London will have a supply of green, low carbon dioxide (CO2) power. The first of four engines was installed in December in Beckton and Sou...... continue reading

In the inaugural issue of Distributed Energy (Nov/Dec 2003), this column featured an overview of the five major types of onsite power generation technologies. Beginning with this issue, the next five columns will take a closer look at each major technology in turn, focusing on the good news in research and development trends and what's projected to happen with costs and performance over the next few years. For this column on reciprocating engines, I invited Timothy J. Callahan, a leading engine ex...... continue reading
