TCG 3020 V20 in Z Configuration: High-Performance Propane Operation
The tried and tested TCG 3020 series has been supplemented with a new variant. In the Z configuration, the MWM TCG 3020 V20 gas engine runs on propane; in this way, the engine delivers a high performance density even at high altitudes. To ensure high quality and availability of the plant, the TCG 3020 V20 Z has undergone an extensive text cycle. The genset is available for parallel operation with the most important grid codes and for island-mode operation with improved load response. Moreover, the engine allows for alternate operation with natural gas.
