Hybrid energy storage solution

Custom solutions that promote profitability, fuel flexibility and reduced emissions are increasingly important for oil and gas drillers and operators. The new Cat Hybrid Energy Storage Solution provides total cost of ownership (TCO) savings by optimizing the use of gas as a main fuel source for reduced diesel spend while enabling lower emissions. It works seamlessly with existing setups using modern genset controls, a bi-directional power inverter and microgrid master controller, and can connect to regional grids.

Gas generator sets offering hydrogen blending

Available at global Cat dealers for 50 or 60 Hz applications, the 12- and 16-cylinder versions of Cat CG260 gas generator sets are approved to operate on gas containing up to 25% hydrogen by volume. The CG260 provides up to 4.5 MW of electric power for continuous, prime and load management requirements. Additionally, Caterpillar offers retrofit kits to update CG260 generator sets already installed with these same hydrogen capabilities.  .

Compact natural gas generator set

The Cat DG450 Compact natural gas generator set is a 450 kW ultra-low NOx power solution specifically configured for non-emergency applications in non-attainment areas designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It uses up to 60% less space when compared with traditional multi-unit generator set specifications, reducing site preparation costs and offering budget-conscious power system redundancy. The Cat DG450 Compact natural gas generator set is compatible with the Cat Active Management Platform (AMP), a proven distributed energy resource management system (DERMS) solution that helps customers monitor, manage, and monetize these natural gas generator sets and other Cat power solutions. It can be applied with other distributed energy resource (DER) system components, such as Cat Energy Storage Solutions, while also managing customer load reductions.

Energy storage systems for power system design

Cat Energy Storage Systems (ESS) are commercially available battery technologies that help enhance power reliability and quality, improve flexibility in power system design, support the integration of renewable energy sources and potentially reduce overall energy costs Now available for purchase and rental from Cat dealers in select regions worldwide, Cat ESS offerings include Cat power grid stabilization (PGS) and Cat energy time shift (ETS) modules with optional energy capacity expansion (ECE) modules. The systems feature flexible, scalable and modular designs for a wide range of electric power distributed energy system applications, offering capabilities including generator set transient assist, grid integration and support, shifting of energy from time of generation to time of use, power stabilization, power factor correction and renewable energy integration.

DG350-DG500 Natural Gas Generator Sets

Cat DG350-DG500 natural gas generator sets deliver improved power density, fuel efficiency and emissions performance combined with Caterpillar’s renowned reliability and support. Now available from Cat dealers in North America for small- to medium-sized standby and demand response applications, the generator sets are factory certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for use in non-emergency applications. Designed utilizing Caterpillar’s deep gas engine development expertise, the new generator sets deliver high power density and provide an optimal solution for numerous energy projects. Available in both standalone and modular parallel configurations, these generator sets offer improved fuel efficiency and extended annual run times, making them exceptional for energy management applications such as demand response programs that compensate large energy users for producing extra power during periods of peak demand and exporting it to the grid.

Cat D30 diesel generator set

Powered by the Cat® C2.2 engine, the Cat D30 generator set meets the U.S. EPA’s emergency emission standards as well as all applicable UL and C-UL standards. It features exceptional performance, a minimal footprint, prompt parts availability, and optional steel or aluminum enclosures. Leveraging field-proven Cat engines already used in heavy-duty equipment around the world, it is ideal for a wide range of small standby applications, such as small healthcare, retail and commercial enterprises, telecommunications, water and wastewater treatment operations, municipal infrastructure, and office buildings. The Cat D30 generator set includes Caterpillar’s standard two-year warranty for standby power solutions, with a suite of additional extended service coverage options available.
