Emergency power to a new maritime liquefied petroleum gas in Chile.

At Genesal Energy we have just supplied emergency power to a new maritime LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) in Chile through a generator set designed to guarantee the continuity of the electricity supply in this facility.

Generator sets are essential in port infrastructures since continuity in the electrical supply is required for lighting the facility and for the uninterrupted operation of most the equipment and chargers. The lack of energy during the unloading of a ship can pose a great safety risk that is multiplied when we talk about this type of gas installations. Therefore, in these cases, it is essential to count on an alternative source of electrical energy in addition to prolonging discharge times.

What did our customer need?

The customer needed a solution with specific soundproofing conditions, special levels of interior lighting in accordance with port regulations, an interior fuel tank and a fuel transfer system for an external tank, as well as a controller for parallel operation with the mains and even another generator set if necessary.

The design of the generator also has a steel floor, with a liquid collection tray, exhaust system with built-in spark arrestor to avoid risks of explosion, PMG of the alternator and many other options that make this equipment a generator set fully adapted to the client’s specific needs.

Features

  • Power output panel integrated in the soundproof container.
  • Recirculation and engine cooling heating system to provide the proper temperature when the generator starts.
  • Exhaust system with spark arrestor integrated inside the container.
  • Anti-skid steel floor.
  • Marine impregnation in the alternator and PMG.
  • Surface treatment of the container according to ISO 12944, in C5 finish.

 

Emergency generator sets for the Norwegian School of Commercial Diving, one of the most important diving centers in the world

/in , /by

At Genesal Energy we’ve designed a generator set for the Norwegian School of Commercial Diving, a big challenge as it’s a highly specialized and world-renowned center.

Diving centers are extremely sensible facilities where power is essential for their correct operation, as power must not run out for many of the pieces of equipment needed on board of the vessels, from the lighting to the cooling chambers.

Founded in 1989, more than 2.500 divers have trained in the school, one of the most important in the world, and its courses are internationally renowned. It’s located in Nesodden, in the south of Oslo, and possesses the ideal conditions for scuba diving. Furthermore, the facilities are also used by the country’s students, with more than 10.000 dives by students each year.

Anti-condensation heating

The emergency open type generator set designed by our engineers features a 40/44 kVA Kohler engine, and its mission is to provide power to the center’s vessels.

The generator set possesses an anti-condensation heater in the alternator to avoid corrosion in the windings.

The whole design and production process was verified with the client, whose needs were very precise. The generator set had to provide power to guarantee the correct operation of the lighting, cooling chambers and the rest of the equipment on board.

The generator set has been manufactured to withstand the area’s low temperatures.

Other features of the generator set

  • 200 litre base frame fuel tank.
  • Anti-condensation heating on alternator windings.

Emergency power for the Navantia San Fernando shipyard

Avoiding issues in first-rate installations and infrastructures is one of our specialties thanks to our R&D department.

As such, with innovation as our banner, at Genesal Energy we can offer complete, personalized and cutting-edge solutions like the ones we designed for Navantia and its San Fernando shipyard, in Cádiz.

We supplied a 1650 kVA genset for the shipyard, prepared to operate at full power and guarantee power supply to all equipment located in the dry dock.

The main objective was specifically to supply emergency power for the dry dock’s bilge pumps, which must operate continuously as there can be no water in the area, due to the personnel always at work in it.

Features

  • 1500L fuel tank integrated in the baseframe with collection bund of 110% the fuel tank’s own capacity.
  • Parallel to mains operation with dual circuit breakers: one of them motorized for parallel with mains and one manual for connection of the load bank to carry out load tests with the genset already installed.

Design and manufacture of a special 550 kVA generator set with a marine engine for the Norwegian market

Design and manufacture of a special 550 kVA generator set with a marine engine for the Norwegian market.

In this case, the goal was to supply emergency power to a boat to ensure electricity supply at all times.

In the event of a possible mains failure, the boat’s work system must not be interrupted, as this would cause considerable financial losses.

With this in mind, here at Genesal Energy we designed a made-to-measure genset, complying with the requirements established by the client. We will continue our commitment with Northern Europe, a market in which we’re stronger day by day.
