What is power modulation?

Gas engines can modulate continuously between partial load (typically 50–60 %) and full load (100 %); partial load operation slightly reduces electrical efficiency but enables direct marketing schedules.

What the AI reads from these values

What the AI reads
  • Current modulation level for determining the operating point
  • Comparison of actual power with the setpoint (e.g., 451 kW)
  • Detection of partial load losses compared to full-load efficiency
  • Identification of control deviations to ensure plant stability
Scenario

Monitored: continuous

The scenario: cycles the CHP unit too frequently, wear increases without an alarm being triggered, leading to a shorter service life and higher maintenance costs. The AI: detects the unfavourable operating pattern early and suggests a steadier mode of operation. It identifies the trend before the limit value is reached.

Why this matters

Precise monitoring of power modulation minimises unnecessary partial load times and optimises revenue planning through accurate yield forecasts. The analysis of modulation data enables a targeted adjustment of fuel supply to meet grid demand. This prevents costly deviations from control targets and protects components from thermal stresses. generated work per year (kWh) · Nominal output (kW) → — Full load hours/year Calculation: generated work ÷ nominal output
