15,000kVA Power station with continuous operation

Project summary

Location:  Dairy Products. Manufacturing Plant.
Required power:  12,500 kVA
Installed power: 2,500 kVA x 6 = 15,000 kVA (continuous).
Special configuration: Working in parallel depending on the power requirements of the factory.

Objective

To provide a safe, permanent power supply. The public grid will cover any possible emergencies in exceptional situations when the generator plant comes to a complete halt.

Solution

Based on the loads and the operating system of the plant, a solution was adopted using installations of 6×2,500 kVA working in parallel, with one unit always in reserve. The equipment is rotated according to the number of operating hours.

Features:

• Can operate in parallel, delivering a total power output of 16.5 MVA.
• Includes protection switchgear and transformers to step down voltage from 690 V to 400 V.
• Individual control using ComAp intelligent system.
• Touchscreen in the electrical control room.
• Remote master control screen at the factory central monitoring point.
• Siemens power switchboards rated at 6,300/6,300 A.
• Secure command and control network with UPS.
• PLC for managing load input into the installation.
