Genesal Energy strengthens power supply in critical military operations

/in , /by

In the demanding military context, where reliability and availability of energy is crucial, Genesal Energy has deployed its precision engineering to secure the power supply in critical situations.

Recently, a generator set was installed in Germany with the clear objective of keeping critical military infrastructures operational.

Generator sets such as this one are essential to meet the energy demands of units in the field, operating in locations that are difficult to access and far from conventional infrastructures. In addition to providing continuous power to keep machines and equipment operational, these systems are designed with advanced protection and safety features ensuring safe and reliable operation 24/7.

The implementation of Genesal Energy’s generators not only ensures operability in extreme conditions, but also demonstrates our commitment to innovation and reliability in energy solutions for the military sector. This project underlines our team’s ability to design and deploy solutions tailored to the critical needs of our customers, ensuring operational success in every mission.

Our Engineering solution

Genesal Energy developed a monoblock engine-alternator generator in a 3400mm soundproof enclosure. This design includes an integrated 450-litre tank that provides a 12 ½ autonomy, ensuring a continuous supply of energy without interruption. In addition, a fuel transfer system from external tanks was implemented, ensuring prolonged operation.

The engineering behind the genset includes advanced vibration isolation through a rubber anti-vibration system, as well as integral protections for moving parts and hot components. Elements such as emergency stop mushrooms ensure the safe operation of the equipment at all times, complying with the most stringent safety and quality standards.

The unit was branded and painted according to customer specifications.

Features

  • Type of construction: Monoblock engine-alternator in soundproofed 3400mm cabin.
  • 450 L base frame inserted tank, with liquid collection tray
  • Silencer model: GSI 230 (-30dB)
  • Control panel: ComAp InteliGen4 200
  • 250 A Circuit Breaker
  • Tudor TC1453 145 Ah battery

Genesal Energy generator sets designed to run at full capacity in the Qatari desert

/in , /by

When a Generator set is manufactured to work in places with unusual environmental conditions, it is essential that they are highly customized.

At Genesal Energy our equipment is designed in such a way that they are capable of operating in extreme conditions and at temperatures above 40 ºC. They are made-to-measure generator sets designed by our engineers after having carefully studied the environmental conditions in which they must operate.

One of our latest projects has taken place in a Middle Eastern country: Qatar. The Qatari authorities asked us to design several trailer mounted generators for a contingency energy fleet.

With a very hot climate and high humidity levels, Qatari summers easily exceed 45ºC. Therefore, the generating sets that have to operate in these circumstances must be custom designed. In this case, the client needed the equipment to have a great autonomy and that could easily transfer fuel from an external tank. They also needed them to be located in different areas by means of a trailer which must be suitable to drive along the desert sand.

Dust filters

In custom manufacturing, everything is designed in detail. Furthermore, the containers were manufactured considering the environmental conditions, including a customized tank, transfer system and external fuel connection point, as well as dust filters to prevent the entry of sand as they had to work in the middle of the desert.

Features

  • Engine and alternator sized to give the required power at the design temperature.
  • Sand filters.
  • Made-to-measure fuel tank.
  • Fuel transfer system and external fuel connection point.

Features

  • Sound proofed to 65Dba AT 7m the generators have been installed in a specially designed cabin to comply with the exceptional dimensions and weight limits as requested by the client.
  • They are redundant gensets with 2 engines and 2 alternators installed in each canopy.
  • The gensets are mobile and have been installed on single or double axel trailers depending on their power. They have been designed to circulate either on public roads or complex terrain.
  • They can work in adverse climatic conditions (from -32ºC to 49 ºC, heavy rainfall, icy conditions, solar radiation, sand, fog etc)
  • These gensets were designed to be transportable by sea, air or railway.

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

/in , /by

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.
