Delivering emergency power to the Poland-Lithuanian connection, one of the biggest electrical challenges in the Baltic countries

The construction of the electrical interconnection lines between Poland and Lithuania is key in the creation of a common European energy market.

In this great project, the LitPol Link substation is an important part of the chain for which Genesal Energy has supplied bespoke emergency power for the essential services of the installation facing any possible failure.

The weather conditions that the Lithuanian substation -which represents the electrical link between the Baltic electricity transmission system and the European synchronous network, with a total distance of 341 kilometres- must face, were crucial in the production of the generator set for LitPol Link. Our engineers designed a generator set capable of operating at peak performance at the lowest of temperatures and through extremely adverse situations such as great storms and strong snowfall.

Adapted to the extreme cold

Our vast experience in the design of systems to combat the extreme cold was of huge backing to us when it came to facing this project. With good reason, Genesal Energy is a reference brand in Scandinavian countries and in the North of Europe with our low temperature range.

In the case of the LitPol Link substation, the result was a special generator set which was completely adapted to the harsh environment. Upon analyzing the client’s needs, the R&D department opted for a made-to-measure solution: a 200/220 kVA generator set with heaters installed inside the canopy, an anticondensation heater in the power cabinet and heater in the fuel tank. Likewise, all necessary measures were taken to avoid setbacks in vital processes such as the startup of the generator set in an emergency situation. Finally, at the client’s request, a fire (heat and smoke) detection system was installed. The generator set includes a control panel prepared for parallel operation.

Features

Genset designed to operate in the extreme cold, including engine air intake heating, oversized batteries, motorized louvers, heaters inside the canopy, anticondensation heaters in the power cabinet and heater in the fuel tank. These elements guarantee perfect startup and operation at low temperatures.
Soundproof canopy with IP44 protection, preventing the entrance of dust and water, Furthermore, it’s been given anti-corrosion C4 treatment.
At the client’s request, a fire (smoke and heat) detection system was installed.
The genset features a control panel prepared for parallel operation, as well as a signal expansion module for the specific alarms requested by the client.
Charger failure alarm.
External fuel filling points, including fuel transfer supply through a gauge and maximum level safety sensor.
Digital low oil level sensor.
The genset component nameplates were designed in Lithuanian language at the client’s request, according to the project’s specific requirements.

Emergency power for a pharmaceutical center to guarantee the robotic management of 20.000 products

26 February 2021/in Applications, Pharmaceutical Sector Spain/by Gestor

Pharmaceutical warehouses or distribution centers store and supply medication to the different pharmacies.

In these facilities, keeping strict control of the temperature (between 15 and 25ºC) and humidity is key in the correct care of their goods. For this reason, this type of facilities needs to have emergency generator sets to face any potential mains failure which would result in a catastrophe and the loss of goods.

At Genesal Energy we’ve designed, manufactured and supplied a generator set for an important robotic pharmaceutical distribution center, with the goal of providing power in mains failure situations for its warehouse in Spain which has just been expanded and fit with a robotic plant for the preparation of orders.

Bespoke solution

After its construction phase, the distribution center will manage a volume of 20.000 pharmaceutical product references in a warehouse with a surface of 5.000 square metres.

In the face of the inability to transport the assembled generator set to its definitive location -due to its weight and dimensions- our team of technicians opted for dividing the base frame in two parts and putting together the engine-alternator assembly in the genset room.

In order to channel the air and exhaust outlets, we developed a vent and the exhaust piping accordingly and assembled them on-site. The base frame fuel tank was also eliminated due to the dimensions of the room in which the genset was to operate, opting for a double-walled external fuel tank instead which would also increase the its autonomy.

Features

400-440 KVA
Split base frame.
Approved double wall fuel tank of great capacity.
The genset powers two supply sources.

We supplied emergency generator sets to ten rural schools in Argentina

8 February 2021/in Applications, Contingency Gensets Argentina/by Gestor

Ten rural schools in Argentina now have our power.

It’s an ambitious project for which we’ve sent our most precise and innovative technology with the objective of guaranteeing educational activities and avoiding a failure in the electricity supply or any other accident which could hinder the continuation of classes.

Precision and reliability are the common denominator in the gensets supplied to our client, who in this case, is a great company with numerous awards and who was chosen for the construction projects of over thirty educational centers across Argentina.

High reliability

The client needed generator sets to supply power to the ten biggest schools built by the company, educational centers which, in the event of a mains failure would have greater issues continuing with the development of classes than those smaller buildings, where the number of students and staff is considerably smaller. As they are schools located in rural areas with bad infrastructure, the need for emergency backup power was that much greater.

Thus, the company needed a compacy and highly reliable genset, adapted perfectly to the location and especially silent, in order to allow for the normal rythm of the classes if ever there were to be a power cut.
