Mobile Back-up Power for Extreme Conditions in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is characterised by vast desert areas, extremely high temperatures and significant levels of airborne dust. These harsh conditions pose a major challenge for any electrical system, where reliability and mobility of power supply are essential to maintain continuous operations.

Genesal Energy developed a project specifically tailored to this environment, based on multiple truck-mounted generator sets designed to operate reliably even under the most demanding circumstances.

A Mobile and Autonomous Solution

The client required an agile, reliable and robust power source, capable of moving across Saudi territory and operating without interruption in critical situations. Furthermore, the generators had to withstand particularly challenging environmental conditions, including temperatures exceeding 55°C and high concentrations of airborne dust.

In response to these requirements, the engineering solution consisted of designing 18 truck-mounted generator sets capable of providing immediate back-up power in the event of grid failures, maintenance operations or emergency scenarios.

Designed to operate reliably even under the most demanding circumstances.

Each unit is equipped with a 450-litre stainless steel fuel tank, providing more than 24 hours of autonomy without refuelling and ensuring continuous operation in critical situations.

These units were built with oversized components, special filtration systems and optimised ventilation systems suitable for high temperatures. They also incorporate exhaust gas treatment systems, automatic changeover switches for adaptation to different electrical networks, motorised cable reels providing up to 25 metres of power output, quick-connect Powerlock outlets and a multi-connection box, ensuring maximum operational versatility.

Among their additional features are rotating warning beacons, reflective elements for enhanced night-time visibility, extendable ladders, fuel and oil level indicators, and external drainage points for fluids.

Tailored Engineering for Reliable Performance

Genesal Energy’s engineering team adapted each generator set to the specific environmental conditions, ensuring the solution was agile, durable and fully operational under extreme circumstances.

This project reinforces Genesal Energy’s commitment to delivering reliable power wherever it is needed most — even in the world’s most challenging environments.
