Claim 22:
23. An electricity generation system that uses multiple engine powered generators to provide electricity to a grid;
wherein the engines are modified automotive engines;
wherein the electricity generation system provides electricity to the grid when there are shortfalls in electricity supply from variable renewable electricity created from wind and/or solar energy;
wherein the engine powered generators are disposed in truck transportable container power modules that each includes multiple engine powered generators;
wherein the maximum power produced per power module is at least 1 MW;
wherein each of the container power modules weigh less than 20 tons;
wherein the electricity generating system comprises more than one power module;
wherein the power generated by the electricity generation system can be varied by turning engines in the power modules on and off and/or by turning power modules on and off;
wherein at least some of the automotive engines are spark ignition engines operated with a stoichiometric fuel/air ratio and use a three-way catalyst for emissions reduction; and
wherein the variable renewable electricity is used in production of ammonia that is later used by the electricity generation system to supply electricity to the grid when there is a shortfall in the electricity supply of the variable renewable electricity.
