All the ones I have seen were turbines. I have never seen a continuous use or base line generator using a piston engine as a prime mover. If there is such a thing I would like to see a picture of it.
Humboldt Bay CA power plant, replaced 2 steam generators, 2 mobile turbine generators, and, an earlier nuclear plant. Ten V18 engines, burning natural gas w/ diesel backup. 163 MW total output. (This is all according to their website.)
