Power Plants

We supplied emergency power to the hydroelectric power plants in the Miño-Sil river basin

At Genesal Energy, we’ve designed and installed generator sets of different power ratings for emergency operation.

The goal was to guarantee the continuous supply to the stream, and to provide electricity to the Velle, Castrelos and CH Frieiras dams in the event of a mains power failure. Before executing the project, we carried out a study to correctly establish the dimensions of the gensets, dimensioning the power rating in each sluice gate keeping in mind factors such as voltage drops and slow speeds.

The result, gensets adapted to the conditions of each power plant. Because at Genesal Energy, we provide made-to-measure solutions. It’s the only way to achieve efficiency and reliability.

Features

450L fuel tank integrated in the baseframe, including a leakage tray with a capacity of 100% the capacity of the fuel tank, and a leakage sensor which sends a remote alarm through a dry contact.

  • Gel batteries to increase the starting capacity (allows 10 start-ups).
  • Ethernet / modbus TCP/IP communication module.
  • The system is designed for 400v and is capable of being regulated to 380v.
  • Alternator anti-condensation heaters in the units installed outdoors.
