So either I am doing something horribly wrong or the condition doesn't work right, When I set up the condition power requested with no pipes it emits the signal like there is power being requested, currently I have it set up on a Stirling engine

It works by inspecting the Wooden Pipe's internal buffer. This buffer holds 1500 MJ, when its less than half empty, the trigger activates. When its full it shuts off. A newly placed pipe will be empty.

A I see, thanks, sorry for the misunderstanding, and there for posting in the wrong spot :)
