Genesal Energy supplies a fully operational Containerized Power Supply for a Mobile 3D Radar System

The objective of this project was to supply fully operational power source for a Radar system.

The energy solution would supply independent electric power for the normal operation of a Tactical Radar System, with no requirement or dependence on other energy sources.

The Containerized Power Supply solution consisted of 2 gensets of the same type and model installed in a ISO-10’ container, each genset consists of an engine, alternator, fuel tank, switch panel, synchronisation and control panels, network monitoring and an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

In situations where the Radar System is deployed in places with a power supply, the Genesal System has been fitted with the capability to fully monitor the external power supply, and in case it should fail, switch to the emergency power supply or UPS. Should this situation occur it entails one of the gensets within the container initiating its operational sequence and consequentially ensuring a continued power supply to the Mobile Radar System. The Genset will operate for as long as the external power supply is off-grid.

Our commitment with R&D allow us to offer the best energy solutions for the military and defense application. We have the expertise needed to adapt each solution to every specific necessity of this field, always with the most strict confidentiality that this projects required.

Genesal Energy military gensets are compact, light, silent and easy to transport. They are ready to operate under the most extreme weather conditions, guaranteeing the power supply in all tactical situations.

Some features of our military generating sets are:

• Super-silent, for shelters.
• Trailer-mounted for easy transportation.
• Water-cooled or air-cooled.
• AC or DC generators.
• Compact and lightweight.
• Wide range of powers available.

Features

• Two 180/200 KVA military-grade generator sets in 10-foot ISO 1D containers, forming what is known as the Power Plant.
• This Power Plant supplies the energy required to operate a complete Radar System in standard operating mode, independently and without reliance on any other external power source.
• Containers equipped with integrated levelling and lifting jacks, flush-mounted within the ISO-10 standard dimensions.
• Each container was also fitted with a 70 kVA Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system, incorporating its own climate control unit, ensuring a minimum autonomy of 10 minutes at full rated load (70 kVA).
• The Power Plant could operate in two modes:
  • Using both containers in a 1+1 configuration (main + standby)
  • Using a single container operating with one generator set only
• Automatic change-over system based on running hours between main and standby units in 1+1 configuration.
• Each generator was equipped with a military-grade power and control connection box.
• Stainless steel base frame with an integrated 1,000-litre fuel tank, providing over 24 hours of autonomy at 100% load [Under standard operating reference conditions for this class of equipment BS 2869:1998].
• The engine–alternator assembly and UPS were removable to facilitate maintenance operations.
• The engine was designed for continuous operation, compatible with TF-03 diesel, NATO F-54 diesel and JP8 (F-34) fuel types.
• Electric cable reel for storing 50 metres of power connection cables.
• The maximum total weight of each module comprising the system was 8,000 kg.
