Continuous + CHP
Continuous power gensets are designed for long term use with constant or varying loads. They are primarily used for the base load generation of electricity, in remote locations with limited access to the public grid. They can operate as island, island-parallel or grid-parallel applications. They can also be used for combined heat and power (CHP) generation.

Prime
Prime power applies to installations where utility power is unavailable or unreliable. At varying load, the number of genset operating hours is unlimited.

Peak
Peak power is focused on providing additional short-term power to the grid (peak shaving). This application becomes relevant whenever renewable power sources like solar or wind are used that might not always be able to provide the full power demand, for example during peak load times.
