We designed an emergency solution that meets the highest environmental standards in Europe. See our latest Engineering feat in Belgium

/in , /by

Genesal Energy has successfully completed a project to guarantee emergency power supply for a combined cycle power plant — a critical infrastructure in the heart of Belgium.

These types of facilities must be equipped with emergency generators, as any brief power outage can compromise safety systems such as water cooling, fire suppression, lighting, and auxiliary systems that are essential for the plant’s proper operation.

To prevent the risks associated with grid failure, two soundproofed generator sets were designed in 40ft containers for medium-voltage generation, connected in parallel to each other and the grid. A third 20ft container serves as a high-tech electrical room housing the central control system and medium-voltage switchgear. The installation also includes auxiliary systems for heating, air conditioning, and exhaust gas post-treatment, along with specific thermal insulation to improve overall plant efficiency.

The combined cycle plant in Belgium now has a robust, efficient and environmentally friendly emergency power system.

Safety was paramount in the project. Fuel tank heaters with ATEX (Explosive Atmospheres) certification were installed to prevent any risk of explosion and to withstand extremely low temperatures. Additionally, the containers were fitted with liquid collection trays and leak detectors that activate immediately in case of a spill, effectively preventing environmental contamination.

The electrical system was designed for remote management. The electrical room container includes an advanced control panel that enables simultaneous operation of both generator sets. Medium-voltage grounding resistors, automatic circuit breaker cells and a common power output system were also installed, allowing either generator to be isolated as needed.

Meeting strict environmental standards

One of the biggest challenges of the project was meeting Belgium’s environmental regulations – among the strictest in Europe. Our engineering team developed an integrated solution that includes an advanced exhaust gas post-treatment system with DPF filters, SCR technology, and a mixing chamber for urea injection, guaranteeing ultra-low emissions and full compliance with the most demanding standards.

Continuing with this focus on sustainability, components were also installed to reduce the noise level to below 80 dB at 1 m. Motorised air louvers were also included to isolate the equipment from ambient conditions during periods of inactivity.

Strategic collaboration with Mitsubishi

Mitsubishi’s collaboration was key to ensuring the reliability and performance demanded by a project of this scale.

Mitsubishi’s team worked closely with Genesal Energy’s engineering departments throughout the design process, ensuring seamless technology integration. This cooperation was essential to achieve optimal performance in critical conditions while meeting the project’s demanding environmental and operational requirements — in line with Europe’s strictest standards for emissions, efficiency, and sustainability.

Within this modernisation framework, Genesal Energy has designed and supplied three generator sets tailored to the infrastructure that guarantee the continuity of the electricity supply in the event of possible power cuts or voltage variations. This allows the uninterrupted operation of the treatment plant’s equipment and ensures the quality of the service.

The most important improvements are those aimed at increasing the plant’s electricity production to make it self-sufficient.

The project – with an overall budget of more than 34 million € – seeks to transform the Pinedo WWTP into a more energy-efficient infrastructure, reliable in its processes and respectful of the social and environmental surroundings. Renovating technology, reducing environmental impact, and optimising operation.

Genesal Energy has provided the project with a customised solution through the installation of two generator sets in containers (1900 kVA + 1250 kVA) and a soundproofed generator set in a canopy with a power of 900 kVA.

Safety for a key infrastructure

The Pinedo WWTP plant was built in 1981. Back then, the need to harmonise infrastructure with the surroundings was not so important in water treatment projects and technologies.

Lately, the treatment plant has been the subject of complaints from the residents of the Valencian district in which it is located. For years, they have been requesting the closure of the facilities due to the nuisance caused by its operation.
Grupo electrógeno para depuradora en Valencia
Notwithstanding, the renovation of the WWTP includes innovative measures, such as the updating of the computer system for automation and control of the treatment plant, optimizing and reducing the total energy consumption of the facilities by 8%. In addition, a 1,000-kW solar photovoltaic plant, thermal hydrolysis systems have been implemented to increase biogas production and reduce waste.

Renovating technology, reducing environmental impact, and optimising operation.

In the words of the engineering department ‘these measures seek to minimise the environmental impact and improve the quality of the water treated, consolidating the Pinedo WWTP as a modern, sustainable facility that is in harmony with its surroundings.’

Power Generator for Extreme Climates

Genesal Energy, delivering energy in the most extreme climates

/in , /by

Securing energy supply in climates with extreme conditions, be it cold, heat or humidity, is a challenge that Genesal Energy is familiar with. In this case, the challenge of the project was to provide a solution in the extremely cold environment of Finland.

Faced with the need for reliable equipment to ensure the uninterrupted operation of the installation in the event of a mains power failure, we designed a generator set fully integrated into a 20 feet HC container, adapted to the demands of the environment and prepared to guarantee the continuity of the power supply. In addition, it had to be able to operate in low temperature conditions, be compact for easy transport and have the greatest possible autonomy. A technical challenge that we solved with a customised design.

Another key aspect of the design was the optimisation of space to increase the autonomy of the equipment.

To guarantee the correct operation of the unit in these climatic conditions, we incorporated a system of motorised grilles between the unit and the air outlet. These louvres allow air inlets and outlets to be closed, while the opening of an intermediate louvre creates a flow of hot air inside the container until the right temperature is reached. It is equipped with a heating recirculation pump to guarantee start-up in extreme conditions. At the same time, customised soundproofing ensures that the noise level is extremely low.

Another key aspect of the design was the optimisation of space to increase the autonomy of the equipment, so we designed a customised fuel tank with a capacity of 2,000 litres, with a double steel wall and strategically located at the entrance of the container. Its rectangular format allowed us to make better use of space without compromising accessibility.

Our Engineering Solution

Our team designed a solution totally adapted to the customer’s needs and focused on solving two problems: on the one hand, withstanding low temperatures, and on the other hand, increasing the autonomy of the unit as much as possible.

Mobile Generator Set for Wind Turbine Blade Recycling

Genesal Energy promotes sustainability in wind farms with a mobile generator set for the recycling of turbine blades.

/in , /by

The energy transition and the fight against climate change have boosted the development of wind energy, making it one of the main renewable sources worldwide. However, this progress brings with it a significant challenge: the efficient recycling of wind turbine blades.

With an average lifespan of 20 years – extendable to 25 with proper maintenance – most components of a wind turbine are recyclable. However, blades present a unique challenge due to the composite materials used in their manufacture: glass & carbon fibre and resins. These materials are complex to separate, which raises costs and makes large-scale recycling difficult.

Genesal Energy has taken a step forward in search of sustainable solutions to this challenge. In collaboration with GDES Wind – a company specialised in the maintenance and inspection of blades in wind farms – we designed and installed a 45 kVA mobile generator set to power a machine specialised in the recycling of wind turbine blades. This equipment cuts the blades using diamond wire, offering an efficient and environmentally friendly alternative. The pieces are then efficiently treated as waste, generating mortar or useful pieces for new applications such as planters, canopies or pieces of furniture.

With this project, Genesal Energy reinforces its commitment to sustainability and the circular economy.

This genset – which complies with Stage V emissions standards – not only ensures a low environmental impact but also provides autonomy of up to 35 hours at 100% load thanks to its 350-litre tank. It is also equipped with a socket panel to power auxiliary tools, extending its functionality and operational efficiency.

A growing challenge in the wind power industry

Although most blades are currently reused in repowering processes or converted into architectural structures such as bridges or bicycle racks, this strategy will not be sufficient in the long term. According to WindEurope, up to 5,700 wind turbines per year will be dismantled in Europe from 2030 onwards, which means an increasing volume of retired blades that will require innovative solutions for recycling.
