Genesal Energy’s key role in ensuring power stability in Taiwan

In the current context, where the stability of the power grid is more critical than ever, the engineering behind generator sets plays an essential role in ensuring a continuous and reliable power supply.

Genesal Energy has taken on the challenge of designing energy efficient solutions as part of a project developed in Yunlin County, Taiwan.

This project not only highlights the technical capability of our engineering team, but also the importance of generator sets in the smooth operation of power substations.

Taiwan, with a population of 23 million people and a geographically complex terrain, relies heavily on the grid. Power on the island comes mostly from traditional sources such as coal and natural gas while renewable energies such as solar and wind continue to gain ground. This context requires power substations to be equipped with advanced technologies, capable of responding quickly to any eventuality. Genesal Energy has developed specific generators for this type of installation, designed not only to provide energy at critical times, but also to be environmentally friendly.

There are about 2,000 secondary substations on the island, many of them located next to residential neighbourhoods, some even right next to residential homes. To provide a stable power service locally Genesal Energy and our local partner, MACRO-e Technology, also considered environmental concerns.

A containerised soundproof generator was designed to take over in the event of a critical situation. The generator will also help the energy storage system to operate longer. Its aim is to stabilise power quality and reduce the possibility of grid collapse.

Advanced technology for Taiwan’s energy challenge

The customer needed a flexible solution tailored to local requirements. Genesal Energy offered a high degree of customisation, allowing MACRO-e Technology to optimise the installation of the generators according to the specific needs of each substation. This includes everything from the design of the containers to the implementation of soundproofing and gas after-treatment systems, ensuring that the highest quality standards are met.

The success of this project in Taiwan reflects Genesal Energy’s commitment to innovation and quality engineering. Our generator sets not only meet technical requirements but are also designed with the environment and safety in mind. Our team’s ability to adapt solutions to the specific challenges of each environment consolidates us as a benchmark in the energy sector, ensuring that each electrical substation is prepared for any contingency.

Our engineering solution

Our engineers designed 20ft containerised generators with Cummins engines and Stamford alternators, which operate with low noise and minimal emissions thanks to a 40 dBA silencer and a gas aftertreatment system.

The fuel transfer system, external access to the control panel and the corrosion protection with stainless steel grilles demonstrate the Genesal Energy team’s dedication to providing a comprehensive solution. In addition, all the necessary safety measures were taken, such as the integration of guards on moving and hot parts, as well as emergency mushrooms and other elements necessary to operate the unit safely.
