Tailored backup power for a data centre at a telecommunications company in Madrid

Ensuring electrical continuity in DPCs is essential. Servers, storage systems and other critical equipment must remain operational 24/7.

Any interruption in the power supply can affect thousands of users and compromise data availability.

Genesal Energy designed and supplied a 165 kVA generator set for the data centre at the headquarters of a telecommunications company in Madrid, ensuring that both the DPC and the auxiliary facilities can continue operating normally even in the event of prolonged mains outages.

A compact, autonomous and high-performance generator set which can maintain uninterrupted operations.

The client required a robust, reliable unit with long autonomy. To meet this need, we integrated a 995 litre fuel tank directly into the generator’s baseframe, optimising the available space and facilitating its installation within the DPC environment.

Additionally, we customised the unit with the company’s corporate colours, combining functionality with aesthetics and ensuring perfect integration within the facility.

The generator set also includes a 250A 4 Pole 230V motorised transfer switch, enabling quick and safe switching between the grid and the generator. This ensures that DPC operations continue without interruption, even under critical circumstances. This level of autonomy and control makes the solution ideal for facilities requiring a constant and reliable electrical backup.

Efficient, collaborative engineering

To deliver this project, our engineering team reviewed all the client’s specifications and adapted existing solutions from our design library, making the necessary adjustments to meet the requirements for power, autonomy and available space. Once the 3D design was completed, all drawings were validated with the client before manufacturing began.

The client required a robust, reliable unit with long autonomy.

Collaboration between engineers and plant personnel was key to anticipating potential challenges and optimising the assembly of the generator set. The team’s experience and the technicians’ insights enabled us to improve the manufacturing process and ensure a reliable, efficient and safe product, ready to respond to any eventuality affecting the DPC’s power supply.

A result that makes a difference

The final result is a compact, autonomous and high-performance generator set which can maintain uninterrupted operations, safeguarding essential systems and information, even in the face of unexpected electrical failures.
