APG1000: APG Gas Enginator® Generating System Featuring ESM® Technology 1000 - 1100 kW

The first of the new APG Series, the APG1000 Enginator genset, is a 1MW unit that extends Waukesha's high-speed product offering into the 800 to 1100 kW range. Used alone or grouped with other units, this one megawatt genset is one of the key building blocks in developing gasdriven
power generation solutions that meet customer needs.

The APG1000 has been developed in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) as part of the DOE's Advanced Reciprocating Engine Systems (ARES) program. The ARES program was created to accelerate the development of large natural industrial gas engines that operate
with increased efficiency while meeting tight emissions requirements, maintaining current levels of reliability and durability, and reducing ownership costs.

The APG1000 is a 16-cylinder, turbocharged, intercooled, lean combustion power generation unit that features ultra-low NOx capability and patented ignition system and combustion chamber concepts. It is rated at 1000 kW at 50 Hz and 1100 kW at 60 Hz - 500 and 1800 rpm, respectively. It is one of the most efficient 1 MW units available at 1800 rpm, 42 % BTE (brake thermal efficiency) and is among the lowest in lean burn emissions (1 g/bhp-hr NOx). At 42 % BTE, the APG1000 is six percentage points better than the previous generation of the engine from which the APG1000 is derived.

CONTROL SYSTEM - Waukesha Engine System Manager (ESM) integrates spark timing control, speed governing, detonation protection, start-stop control, professional diagnostic tools, fault logging and engine safeties. Engine Control Unit (ECU) is central brain of the control system and main customer interface. Interface with ESM is through 25 foot (7.6m) harness to local panel, through MODBUS RTU slave connection RS-485 multidrop hardware, and through the Electronic Service Program (ESP). Customer’s connections are only required to the local panel, fuel cock, and for 24V Dc switched mode power supply. Compatible with Woodward load sharing module. ESM meets Canadian Standard Association Class 1, Division 2, Group D, hazardous location requirements.
