Hyliion's KARNO generator achieves successful grid matching in Ohio, a key step in validating the technology’s capability in grid-tied applications

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hyliion Holdings Corp. (NYSE: HYLN) (“Hyliion”), a developer of KARNO generator and electric powertrain technologies, today announced that its innovative KARNO generator has successfully provided power to the electric grid. This achievement is a major step in technology development, and further demonstrates the generator’s viability in distributed grid applications.

The rising demand for electricity is outpacing the capabilities of conventional power plants and the grid, creating a greater need for localized power generation. As a fuel-agnostic system that offers high efficiency and low emissions, the KARNO generator provides a practical solution for prime power needs, as well as grid relief and cost savings through applications like peak shaving and net metering.

During continued testing, Hyliion demonstrates a distributed grid model in Ohio, where the KARNO generator interfaces seamlessly with the grid, matching voltage, frequency, and power factor. By creating the ability to augment power locally, the KARNO generator can help stabilize and reduce dependency on the grid. Because the generator is fuel agnostic and thus adaptable to zero carbon fuels as they become available and economic, the KARNO is a future-proof investment that can produce local power now and for years to come.

“The KARNO generator successfully feeding power back to the grid demonstrates our advancement in addressing rising power needs. As growing demand challenges the grid's capability, the versatility of our solution is crucial. KARNO technology is carving a promising path toward decentralized power generation, aligning with the broader goals of electrification and green energy,” said Thomas Healy, Founder and CEO of Hyliion.

The KARNO generator is a linear heat generator that leverages advanced 3D metal printed components and proprietary flameless oxidation technology to produce clean electricity. Modular in design, the generator is expected to show an improvement in fuel efficiency, require significantly lower maintenance costs and have a much lower emissions profile than conventional generators. It is also capable of operating on over 20 different fuels, including hydrogen, natural gas, propane, ammonia and conventional fuels.
