GE’s Distributed Power has announced it has worked with pilot customer Stadtwerke Rosenheim to develop a modification and upgrade for its Jenbacher J920 FleXtra gas engine. This increases the power output of the engine by nearly 10 per cent, from 9.5 MW to 10.38 MW for the 50 Hz unit.

The modification and upgrade is part of the planned evolution of the Jenbacher J920 FleXtra gas engine. Two-stage turbo-charging with higher boost pressure is the enabler of such upgrades and increasing power output. The J920 gas engine is now a 10.38 MW engine manufactured in the company’s facility in Jenbach, Austria.
