This article is a guide on what the best ways of power generation are in various stages of the mod
Early Game & Petroleum Processing
Arguably the best sources of power in the beginning of the game are the wood-burning generator, stirling engine, solar tower boiler and the regular boiler. Both the boilers produce steam however, and as such it is recommended to feed the steam into a steam engine, and feed the low-pressure steam you get from that into a steam condenser.
Pre-Nuclear
Now that you have processed oil, you should have diesel, kerosene and petroleum gas, along with engine lubricant. These are all powerful fuels, however kerosene is arguably the best, as it produces almost 4x as much power per mB than diesel, and more than 4x more TU.
Diesel and kerosene should be burned in an industrial combustion engine, preferably with a desh piston set.
The petroleum gas should be burned using the combined cycle gas turbine, as it gives the best efficiency for the gas. Note that the CCGT also requires engine lubricant to run properly.
