Genesal Energy reinforces stadium power supply with a 400 kVA genset at RCD Espanyol

RCD Espanyol has entrusted Genesal Energy to reinforce its electricity supply by installing a 400 kVA generator set in his Barcelona Stadium. Designed to guarantee energy continuity in the event of a grid failure during the broadcasting of the women’s team’s matches in these facilities.

In this type of infrastructure any interruption can have economic, logistical and reputational consequences. It is therefore essential to have back-up systems that ensure the operation of the facilities and the safety of the attendees.

To ensure long autonomy, the set is fitted with a 700 litres tank integrated in the base frame.

In professional football, the requirements are even higher. Organisations such as UEFA and FIFA establish strict regulations that require redundant energy solutions, capable of coming into operation immediately. RCD Espanyol’s trust in Genesal Energy demonstrates our experience in the development of advanced energy solutions for spaces with intensive use. Thanks to our customised design capacity, we are able to adapt to the highest technical and regulatory standards.

Our Engineering solution

Our engineering team designed a 400 kVA prime power generating set, mounted in a 3,900 mm soundproof canopy, specially adapted for urban environments and noise-sensitive areas.

To ensure long autonomy, the set is fitted with a 700 litres tank integrated in the base frame. The system also includes a double set of Tudor TC1453 batteries (145 Ah) connected in parallel, which ensures that the equipment will start even in the event of a battery failure.

In terms of safety, the generator has a 630 A circuit breaker to protect the installation against overloads and short circuits. A 1,000 W Hotstart preheating system was also incorporated, which keeps the engine in optimum condition for immediate start-up.
