The low maintenance requirements of the AE-T100, with service intervals of 6,000 operating hours, makes this power generation system extremely attractive and competitive when compared to more conventional solutions. Each AE-T100 configuration can be delivered in specific layouts for indoor or outdoor installation. Both layouts meet current regulations limits for noise and emissions. All AE-T100 can be remotely monitored, controlled and operated.
