These supply routes need different storage, vaporization, regulation and treatment equipment. Gas composition, heating value, contaminants, pressure and available flow must be checked against the selected engine requirements. LPG-to-Power is a separate configuration requiring an engine and fuel system approved for LPG; it should not be assumed compatible with a natural-gas package.",

      "answer": "LPG-to-Power is worth evaluating where the site cannot secure a practical LNG supply route and local LPG distribution can reliably support its operating demand. Compare delivered fuel cost per useful kWh, supply continuity, storage and replenishment, applicable safety requirements, engine compatibility and local maintenance support. A continuous operating requirement also needs a suitable generator rating and a planned service strategy. The Firman partnership page describes the published MOU context; it does not establish a site-specific performance guarantee or commercial quotation.",

      "answer": "A 500 kW / 1.2 MWh specification pairs a power requirement with an energy capacity requirement. The simple calculation is 1,200 kWh ÷ 500 kW = 2.4 hours. It is a theoretical duration, not a guaranteed AC output duration. The proposal must define whether 1.2 MWh is nominal DC capacity or usable AC energy, then account for permitted state-of-charge range, conversion losses, auxiliary loads, temperature and battery aging. It must also confirm PCS power, islanding or grid connection, EMS functions and the required discharge profile.",

Also share fuel composition, pressure and flow, grid availability, altitude, ambient temperature and the redundancy requirement. Continuous, prime and standby ratings are different duty definitions.

For BESS, a price per kWh is meaningful only when energy basis, power configuration, usable capacity and supply scope are comparable. Total nominal capacity alone does not determine the installed project price.
