Why Is Natural Gas More Resilient Than Grid Electric?
- Natural gas lines are typically buried underground and are not exposed to falling debris (trees) and high winds.
- Supply redundancy due to multiple interconnecting pipeline points reinforces system integrity. Gas lines typically have bypass lines to provide redundant coverage in the event a service line does go down.
- Physical construction of the pipeline system is not subject to the dynamic found in electrical systems where local disruptions can result in cascading disruptions throughout larger portions of the system.
- Compressor units that move the gas run on gas themselves, rather than electricity, ensuring the system’s ability to move supply even during power outages.
- There is an extensive network of physical storage of natural gas to ensures supply availability.
Gas Turbines Represent A Quantum Leap In Reliable, On-Site Technology: It's Just Better All-Around
Cost
- Cheaper Than Electric Utility, Even With Finance Charges
Typically about half of the $0.15 to $.30 per kWh - financing and gas cost included - You Own The Microturbine After Financing, And It Can Be Redeployed
Take power generation control back from the utility company
Better For The Environment
- Advanced Combustion Controls And Lowest Emissions In Its Class
Power like this simply can't go cleaner than natural gas and Flex Energy/MBS - Utility Electric Is Only 30% Efficient
Microturbines push 85% (with cogeneration) - Clean Waste Heat
Uncontaminated exhaust heat
Reliability
- Power When You Can't Afford Outages
Natural gas is more disaster-reliable, in addition to being more affordable, than electric - Unparalleled Reliability
Tens of millions of run-time hours and counting
Flexibility
- High Power, On-Site
Bring power to where you need it, in a compact footprint - Widest Fuel Tolerance Of Any Small Gas Turbine
Can run on various gas types, including captured methane (farms) - Stand Alone or Grid Connect
Independent, Parallel, or Dual-Mode
Control
- Power Whether The Electric Company 'Approves'
More and more, electric utilities are simply turning down industrial electric requests - Remote Monitoring
Complete view at all times
Superior Engineering
- One Moving Part And 8 Hours Of Maintenance, Annually
Simple and powerful, with maintenance costs are figured into financing - Robust Build Quality And A Durable, Weather-Proof Housing
Ready for any weather conditions, and suited for heavy industry - Load Management Without Batteries
No high-speed alternator
Ease
- 6 Month Order-To-Install
Installation time of roughly 2 - 3 weeks - Maintenance Included
Not just maintenance costs, but activities, are covered in you financing
