Power Generation
 Calnetix
is heavily involved with the power generation market simply
because Calnetix offers the highest obtainable efficiencies
at a price point where the end systems are able to compete
with conventional equipment. Calnetix’s highly efficient
permanent magnet generators are able to match the speeds of
the prime movers from IC engines to high speed turbines. While
converting mechanical power to electrical power, Calnetix’s
alternators are able maintain efficiencies up to and over
98%.
Calnetix designs and manufactures high performance alternators
for a variety of power generation equipment such as:
- Gas turbines
- Natural gas internal or external combustion engines
- Fuel cells
- Expanders
- Steam turbines
- Geothermal cycles
- Turbocompounders
- UPS systems
 Some
of the components Calnetix’s alternators are able to
eliminate from conventional systems include but are not limited
to:
- Gear boxes
- Lubrication and hence lubrication systems (pumps, seals,
plumbing, storage, filters, etc..)
- Couplings
- Bulky conventional alternators
All the above listed components equate to high maintenance,
low reliability, decrease in efficiency, down time, and a
high cost of ownership of the equipment.
Some of the benefits Calnetix systems brings to the OEM’s
and end-users are:
- Higher reliability
- Higher efficiency
- Lower maintenance
- Lower cost of ownership
- Lower or equal cost compared to conventional equipment
- Smaller size and weight
