Gas Engine TCG 4170

The MWM TCG 4170 V20 gas engine is optimized for high flexibility and sets new standards in electrical efficiency. The High Response configuration (TCG 4170 V20 R) delivers an outstanding efficiency of up to 46 percent in the 50 Hz version.

TCG 4170 V20: Generator Set for Utility Providers, IPPs, and Critical Infrastructure

The MWM TCG 4170 V20 generator set combines high electrical efficiency with flexible operation. Thanks to its electrical efficiency of up to 46 percent, the engine is ideal for grid-parallel or island-mode operation and primary power supply. Utilities, independent power producers (IPPs), critical infrastructure, refineries, and petrochemical companies in particular benefit from the flexible operation and outstanding efficiency of the TCG 4170 V20.

High Load Switching for Energy-Critical Industries and Segments

The TCG 4170 V20 offers fast ramp-up and full power in less than five minutes. This high degree of operational flexibility makes the engine ideal for deployment in industries that require short response times, such as petrochemicals, refineries, mining and metallurgy, production facilities, and data centers.

Consistent Output under Demanding Operating Conditions

The air filter design, which has been specially adapted to the TCG 4170 V20, allows intake air temperatures of up to 45 °C at full power. The robustness of the generator set ensures reliable operation even in regions with high ambient temperatures. This saves costs, space, and energy for complex cooling and ventilation systems, which is particularly advantageous for containerized plants.

TCS Control System for CHP Plants in Various Configurations

The new TCS control system for CHP plants is available in various configurations and as a customized solution. The system is available in configurations such as TCS 100 (single genset controller) and TCS 200 (genset paralleling controller). Additional configurations are available on request. The TCS control system combines all important power plant data in a well-structured way in a single system. The entire energy generation plant is controlled securely and reliably via the TCS control system, ensuring that operators always have optimum access to their plant and all relevant data.

Real-Time Digital Plant Monitoring with VisionLink^®

With the help of the digital application VisionLink^®, CHP plants can be monitored in real time from anywhere. Operators can use the system to identify potential problems at an early stage and respond proactively before a potential plant outage occurs. VisionLink^® allows you to keep track of your plant data, plan maintenance measures more effectively, and coordinate operations and support processes in the best way possible. The fleet management system is designed to process large amounts of data and is equipped with multi-layer security controls and safeguards to prevent unauthorized access.
