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.

At Genesal, we design each generator set with diverse elements; elements which have been thought out and tailor-made according to the client’s specific needs.

This generator set is a prime example of the made-to-measure structure and cooling design of a genset with particular space requirements. The design allows for the assembly and removal of the genset in its installation area in a simple and practical way.

Features

  • Engine cooled via air intercooler in order to optimize space and avoid the need of great air flow.
  • Baseframe separated into 3 bodies for an easy installation and disassembly, in order to pass the generator set through a tight space.

350 kVA generator set for a shopping centre

The Way Dos Hermanas shopping and leisure centre, in the city of Seville, has trusted in our mall generator sets with the installation of a GEN350YA unit for the new complex, which has a commercial surface of 50.000 square metres.

It is a 350 kVA generator set which will serve to guarantee the correct operation of the shopping centre in the case of an emergency. This is just one of the Genesal Energy generator sets located in the building, as we’ve also supplied gensets for a number of stores inside the shopping centre.

We continue supplying power to Austria, a priority in our internationalization plans.

/in , /by

Thanks to our Austrian distributors, we’ve supplied two generator sets of 88 and 275 kVA for two pump stations.

Both gensets were designed especially to be adapted to the client’s requirements, which included potential free contacts for the activation of external motorized louvers, and an earthing system comprised of 3 earth points, one on the inside of the canopy and two external points installed on the gensets’ baseframes; however, each unit also had its own distinctive features: the 88 kVA was designed to comply with 68BA@7m, and its silencers had to be installed in such a way that the genset’s width remained under 1100mm.

In the case of the 275 kVA unit, it had an oversized 990L fuel tank in its baseframe with a leakage tray underneath.

Features

  • Signal expansion module according to the installation’s requirements.
  • 3 earth points: one internal and two external installed on the baseframe.
  • Separate chargers for starting and control.
  • In the case of the 88 kVA, oversized canopy with silencers to comply with a sound level of 68dBA@7m, designed in such a way that the genset’s width wouldn’t surpass 1100mm to be able to install it in its corresponding room.
  • Baseframe fuel tanks with leakage trays, and leakage and fuel level sensors. For the 88 kVA, a 350L tank was installed. For the 275 kVA, an oversized 990L tank.

Special generator set to operate in the extreme cold on a Norwegian vessel

/in , /by

Low temperature emergency gensets must perform at full capacity in the harshest of conditions. A good example of this is the totally soundproof genset we manufactured for a vessel in Norway.

It was installed inside a 20’DV container and is prepared to operate at full capacity on the high seas. Along with the marine generators that provide electricity to the ship constantly, this GEN440FC is in charge of backing up these generators if ever the main equipment were to ever fail, as well as whenever the boat is in port. Furthermore, the maintenance tasks can be carried out with the Genesal Energy generator installed on the boat’s deck.
