Genesal Energy key to guaranteeing supply in large hotels
In Mexico, climate instability is a factor that cannot be ignored, especially in regions where weather phenomena such as tropical storms and hurricanes are frequent.
These can cause unexpected and prolonged power outages, affecting the operation of key sectors such as the hotel industry. To cope with these conditions, having a reliable energy back-up system, such as a generator, is essential.
Genesal Energy has designed and installed three generator sets in a renowned hotel chain in Mexico, ensuring that the establishment continues to operate safely and efficiently during adverse situations and guaranteeing the operation of emergency & IT systems, heating and air conditioning that ensure the safety and comfort of guests.
Operational continuity is key to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for guests, especially in regions where power outages can jeopardise both safety and comfort.
Project objective: Safety and comfort, come what may
The main objective of this project was to provide a reliable back-up power source for the hotel, ensuring that essential services continue to operate during any power outage. Emergency systems, such as exit lights, fire alarms, automatic doors and security equipment. Maintaining comfort is also a priority, ensuring the operation of air conditioning, lighting and other basic services that directly impact the experience.
Thanks to this installation, the hotel now has a robust energy solution that ensures continuous power supply during critical situations. Guest safety and service comfort are assured, reinforcing Genesal Energy’s commitment to providing tailored energy solutions that meet the highest demands in any industry, including hospitality.
What solution did Genesal Energy engineer?
Genesal Energy designed and installed three open generator sets, each equipped with advanced features to ensure optimal performance and efficient integration into the hotel’s facilities. These generators have 600 litres baseframe integrated fuel tanks. In addition, an automatic fuel transfer system was incorporated to connect the daily tanks to a main tank, ensuring that the fuel supply is constant and efficient.
The units are equipped with a control panel that allows parallel operation between them, which facilitates management and ensures constant performance. A synchronisation board was also provided between the island of gensets and the grid. Motorised circuit breakers with trip coil were also integrated to protect the system against overloads and electrical faults. Safety was a priority in this design, including explosion-proof battery boxes, and hand pumps for both fuel transfer and oil drainage to facilitate maintenance.
