Generators transform heat into electricity directly by using linear alternators. Design breakthroughs have resulted in an extremely reliable, long-life, maintenance-free, and quiet, electricity generating platform. The FPSE generators, when heated at their absorber, can literally transform any flow of heat into a steady output of electricity. These same generators are packaged into PowerGen’s energy products, these make use of multiple types of fuels to generate grid-quality electric power.

Testimonials
Continuous focus on customer satisfaction
Signal supervisor
“Not many are more pleased than myself with
this system, except maybe the maintainer
who does not have to visit this site every day
in winter months due to power issues. This
unit has kept our signal site up 100% over the
last winter, which has been a big
maintenance relief from years past. Thank
you to all involved in this project.”
Oil & Gas field engineer
“We have multiple remote sites that are
down right now that need a generator like
this.”
“This generator will save us thousands of
dollars in annual maintenance costs.”
“Since your generator can provide more
power, we will be able to use it in a lot more
applications than just ICCP”.
