/in , /by

Ensuring power supply in isolated areas is one of the guarantees that Genesal Energy provides its clients.

Our gensets are prepared to withstand extreme climate conditions, from temperatures below zero to the highest on the planet.

One of our latest projects has taken us to Africa, a continent full of contrasts and a real challenge from an energetic point of view. In Gambia, Guinea Bissau and Guinea Conakry, we’ve supplied emergency power for electric substations in these three countries. We designed, manufactured and supplied nine completely customised gensets, adapted to operate in the different substations.

We searched for the best solutions for our client which would completely cover their needs, that’s why the nine gensets have been designed to operate in perfect condition in isolated areas and at temperatures of up to 45°C.

Características

  • Spare parts kit for extensive operation.
  • 1000L fuel tanks for increased autonomy.
  • Fuel filters with water separators to ensure operation with low-quality fuel.

We supplied an emergency genset with an aseismatic system for the Carrasco electrical substation (Bolivia)

/in , /by

Guaranteeing power supply in extreme situations is one of Genesal Energy’s specialties. Genesal’s emergency genset designs are always carried out according to the client’s needs.

The Carrasco electrical substation, in Cochabamba (Bolivia), is one of our latest projects in the country and a great example of seismic engineering.

For the Carrasco substation, the client needed a genset with very specific needs, as the installation is located in a very sensitive area, which is quite vulnerable to earthquakes. With the objective of facing this possibility and avoiding a catastrophe, our engineering team carried out a thorough study after listening to the client and analyzing the site in which the genset would be installed.

Upon receiving all required information, Genesal Energy manufactured a very precise genset, with all the necessary special systems to protect the Carrasco electrical substation. The result is a unit which, amongst other features, has anti-seismic mounts, and spring mounts between the base frame and the floor. A vent for the channelling of the cooling air to the outside, and a 1.700 litre fuel tank -which in this case was reinforced to comply with anti-seismic regulations- are just a few examples of the features of this genset, whose goal is to avoid failures in the mains supply which provides power to millions of citizens, at all times.

Features

  • Anti-seismic mounts.
  • Spring mounts between the baseframe and the floor.
  • Vent for the channelling of the output cooling air to the outside.
  • Reinforced 1700 litre baseframe fuel to comply with anti-seismic regulations (without certificate).
  • IVECO NEF67 TE2A engine at 24V.
  • Mecc Alte ECO 38-2S alternator at a voltage of 380/220.
  • 3400×1350 mm soundproof canopy.
  • RAL 9002 genset colour.
  • IEC61850 communication.

Genesal emergency power for Topolobampo III, the combined-cycle power plant which will provide electricity to 2,5 million Mexican citizens

/in , /by

The Topolobampo III combined-cycle power plant, located in the Mexican state of Sinaloa features a special soundproof genset, with a control cabinet integrated inside the container, designed and manufactured in our headquarters in Bergondo (A Coruña).

With an investment of more that 400 million dollars, Topolobampo III is the latest great power generation project in Mexico, a country in which our company has a great presence, and where it has had its own branch office for years. The 767 megawatts (MW) combined-cycle power plant, carried out by the Mexican Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), is located in the municipality of Ahome, and will provide electricity to more than 2,5 million citizens. The plant will begin operating in 2020.

Due to our strong presence in Mexico and our knowledge of its terrain, the genset designed for Topolobampo III was adapted to the special conditions of this type of combined-cycle power plant, which contains special loads which must be permanently powered for the correct operation of the facilities. For instance, the lubrication pumps or cooling units must always be operational so that, in the event of an emergency such as a power outage, the whole system can be shut down securely. This is precisely the function of the genset we manufactured for the plant.

Made-to-measure

We designed a bespoke genset, soundproofed in a container which was also tailor-made with specific elements (air conditioning, motorized louvers, fans, etc.), manufactured to adapt to the client’s concretes needs.

Furthermore, the automation of the genset allows the necessary integration of the external ATS and the different switches managed by the genset, so that the start-up and stop sequence expected by the client is followed at all times.

Due to space limits, a fuel capacity of 4000L was integrated inside the container through double-walled fuel tanks to guarantee the continuous operation of the genset for over 10 hours at 100% load. The unit is also designed to start up without the need of any type of external voltage, without needing secure voltage for the control circuit.

Main Features

  • Exterior build: 40’’ HC container suitable for marine transport 
  • Control cabinet integrated inside the container 
  • Engine cooling liquid recirculation and heating system, in order to provide the right temperature for genset start-up. 
  • Air conditioning system in the genset’s control room. 
  • Motorized louvers in the air inlet and outlet. 
  • Redundant fans to control the temperature in the engine room.
  • C51 container surface treatment according to the ISO 12944 standard.
  • Alternator anti-condensation heating. 
  • Temperature sensors in the alternator’s windings and bearings. 
  • 4000L fuel tank integrated in the container with leakage detection. 
  • Management of the genset’s control system and associated systems of the client’s facilities through a controller and touch-screen. 

Genesal Energy consolidates its position in the health sector with high precision gensets for large hospitals

/in , /by

The Galician company increases its national presence with emergency gensets for the new hospitals in Cuenca and Guadalajara.

The design of highly reliable gensets, which allow to continue tending to patients even in the event of a mains failure, is of maximum priority when it comes to supplying emergency gensets to any hospital, and this is a field in which Genesal Energy has reinforced its presence in recent years both nationally and internationally. The very nature of these facilities calls for customised units, and behind each one is a complex engineering development.

The Galician company has consolidated its presence in Spain through new projects carried out hand in hand with Imoel, a company which has specialised in the electricity sector for over 35 years, and which has trusted in Genesal since 2009 for delicate projects such as the expansion of the Guadalajara hospital, where it will supply two 1,500/1,650 kVA gensets, and Cuenca’s new hospital, which while still in its construction phase, will be a magnificent hospital complex with 12 buildings for which Genesal Energy was in charge of designing, manufacturing and supplying three 1,400/1,540 kVA emergency gensets.

Maximum reliability

Both hospitals will include soundproof gensets which were completely tailor-made for the client, and therefore, adapted to the requirements of the buildings in which they will be installed, completely prepared to face any potential incident.

In this sense, all five gensets have a common denominator: to guarantee power supply at all times, as in hospital complexes, any failure in the mains supply can cause serious problems, both for the medical equipment -which nowadays is highly technological, especially in emergency and operating rooms- and the patients alike.

A reference company, both nationally and internationally

Genesal Energy’s participation in these projects is part of the company’s major focus on the health sector, where it’s increased its presence in recent years both nationally and internationally, through the supply of emergency power to hospitals such as the Quito-Sur Hospital, the largest and most modern in Ecuador, a country in which the Galician company is one of th reference brands.
