Construction of a 2.07 MW Gas Engine Power Plant – Törökbálint

Project Timeline

As part of the project, a 2.07 MW gas engine power plant was completed in Törökbálint, in the Hosszúrét area. The development was implemented at the site of a previously operating 1.97 MW gas engine power plant, using more modern technology and providing higher capacity.

Project details and measurements

The primary objective of the development was electricity generation and supporting the stable operation of the power grid. The power plant participates in the electricity system supervised by MAVIR and contributes to maintaining grid balance through its fast-response control capability.

Fast-response energy service

The installed gas engine is capable of reaching its maximum electrical output of 2,070 kW within a few minutes after receiving a start signal from the control center. This rapid response capability plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the electricity network.

Future heat utilization potential

The facility was designed to allow for future combined heat and power (CHP) generation. In the future, the utilization of the produced thermal energy may also be implemented through flue gas and hot water heat exchangers.

Construction works and technological systems

The construction was carried out in several phases, including site preparation, foundation works, modification of the containerized power unit, and installation of the gas engine and related technological systems. As part of the project, the gas supply system, flue gas system, mechanical piping network, and the complete electrical and control systems were also installed.

Commissioning and operation

Following the completion of construction, the facility successfully passed the required technical inspections and trial operation. The power plant is now fully operational, connected to the electricity grid, and contributes to reliable and flexible energy production.
