Each linear generator operates independently and continues running during grid outages. Deploying redundant units enables high availability, ensuring reliable power even if one unit is offline.
Mainspring has customers operating microgrids today, including fully islanded sites where grid interconnection has not yet occurred, as well as sites that integrate with solar, batteries, and other distributed resources.
The linear generator operates on natural gas, biogas, propane, or hydrogen and can switch between them without downtime. This provides true fuel redundancy, allowing facilities to maintain operation during fuel interruptions and return to their primary fuel when service is restored, without retrofit or permanent conversion.
Factory-built, modular units can be installed at substations or near load centers to provide firming and resilience where it is needed most. This distributed approach strengthens grid reliability, defers major transmission and distribution upgrades, and allows utilities to add clean capacity quickly and cost-effectively.
Modularity enables redundancy, allowing individual units to be serviced while others remain online. This keeps power available during maintenance and supports continuous operation for critical facilities.
