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 in the Miño-Sil river basin.

  • WHERE:

    MIÑO-SIL Hydraulic Power Plants.

  • POWER RANGE:

    3×8,5 kVA, 2×220 kVA, 1×176 kVA

  • CLIENT’S NEED:

    To provide power to the sluice gates in the hydraulic power plants of the Miño river: CH Frieiras, Velle, Castrelos.

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.
