Emergency Stationary Engine Definition
An Emergency Stationary Engine is defined as any stationary internal combustion
engine whose operation is limited to emergency situations and required testing and
maintenance. Examples include stationary engines used to produce power for critical
networks or equipment (including power supplied to portions of a facility) when electric
power from the local utility (or the normal power source, if the facility runs on its own
power production) is interrupted, or stationary engines used to pump water in the
case of fire or flood, etc. Stationary engines used for peak shaving are not considered
emergency stationary engines. Stationary engines used to supply power to an electric
grid or that supply power as part of a financial arrangement with another entity are not
considered to be emergency engines. Emergency stationary ICE may be operated for
the purpose of maintenance checks and readiness testing, provided that the tests are
recommended by Federal, State or local government, the manufacturer, the vendor,
or the insurance company associated with the engine. Maintenance checks and
readiness testing of such units is limited to 100 hours per year. There is no time limit
on the use of emergency stationary engines in emergency situations. The owner or
operator may petition the Administrator for approval of additional hours to be used for
maintenance checks and readiness testing, but a petition is not required if the owner
or operator maintains records indicating that Federal, State, or local standards require
maintenance and testing of emergency ICE beyond 100 hours per year. Emergency
stationary ICE may operate up to 50 hours per year in non-emergency situations, but
those 50 hours are counted towards the 100 hours per year provided for maintenance
and testing. The 50 hours per year for non-emergency situations cannot be used for
peak shaving or to generate income for a facility to supply power to an electric grid
or otherwise supply power as part of a financial arrangement with another entity. For
owners and operators of emergency engines, any operation other than emergency
operation, maintenance and testing, and operation in non-emergency situations for 50
hours per year, as permitted above is prohibited.
