15,000kVA Power station with continuous operation

Project summary

Location:  Dairy Products. Manufacturing Plant.
Required power:  12,500 kVA
Installed power: 2,500 kVA x 6 = 15,000 kVA (continuous).
Special configuration: Working in parallel depending on the power requirements of the factory.

Objective

To provide a safe, permanent power supply. The public grid will cover any possible emergencies in exceptional situations when the generator plant comes to a complete halt.

Solution

Based on the loads and the operating system of the plant, a solution was adopted using installations of 6×2,500 kVA working in parallel, with one unit always in reserve. The equipment is rotated according to the number of operating hours.

Features:

  • Can operate in parallel, delivering a total power output of 16.5 MVA.
  • Includes protection switchgear and transformers to step down voltage from 690 V to 400 V.
  • Individual control using ComAp intelligent system.
  • Touchscreen in the electrical control room.
  • Remote master control screen at the factory central monitoring point.
  • Siemens power switchboards rated at 6,300/6,300 A.
  • Secure command and control network with UPS.
  • PLC for managing load input into the installation.

Emergency power solution for the Álvaro Cunqueiro Hospital

Localization

Situated in the city of Vigo, north-west of Spain, the new hospital Álvaro Cunqueiro covers an area  of 280,000 m², has beds for 1,465 patients and will provide healthcare servides to a population of 600,000 people.

Requirements

The customers asked GENESAL ENERGY for a full back-up energy solution in case of a mains failure, to cover a total of 11.2 MW (14,000 kVA) with automatic start system and conection to the SCADA room. The solution needs also to comply with high noise attenuation standars to not affect the normal functioning of the hospital when running.

Solution

Hospital Vigo generador

Genesal Energy designed, manufactured and commissioned eight gensets to provide the hospital with the 11.2 MW needed:

  • Six GEN1875H (1,875 kVA/1,500 kW).
  • Two GEN1375H (1,375 kVA/1,100 kW).

With the following special features:

  • Automatic start upon mains failure with 3-phase monitoring of mains.
  • Full control system and automatic transfer switchboards.
  • Modbus communication between generator and SCADA room.
  • Maximum sound attenuation through -40dB silent exhaust system and sound attenuator.
  • Automatic fuel transfer system between each individual fuel tank and the main fuel tank of the facilities.

Benefits

GENESAL ENERGY provided the customer with an fully automatic and an over-the-top reliable solution, designed under a strict specification sheet, both for safety and comfort.

 

 

 

Power generator for an airport mobile tower – Kenya

Genesal Energy has supplied 2 gensets of 20 kVA prime power to supply electricity to a mobile control tower.

Mounted on a semi-trailer truck with an elevation system of up to 9.5 M above ground level, allowing the controller to have clear visibility. The control tower also comes fully fitted with telecoms systems and can function as a fully operational control tower.

The gensets designed in our manufacturing plan will be used to supply power to this somewhat unusual type of control tower, guaranteeing it has power in the event of a mains grid failure. The gensets have also been prepared and set up to control other aspects of the mobile control tower such as the hydraulic mechanisms of the vehicle that supports the tower.

The principle characteristics of the project design called for redundant diesel generators, both for emergency power; the energy supplied comes from one of the two gensets, with the second genset remaining as back up. Should there be a further power cut associated to the 1st genset, the second genset will then start-up, this also applies if the 1st genset is undergoing maintenance.

Features

  • Redundant sets.
  • Ultra-compact design.
  • Units easily integrated into the client’s existing infrastructure.
  • The soundproof canopy is fully removable to allow mechanical access for maintenance tasks, given the limited space available.

Supply and installation of an adapted genset for the airport of La Coruna in Northwest Spain

The genset, designed and manufactured by Genesal energy for Coruna Airport belongs to the range of adapted products; generator sets which are intricately designed according to the client’s unique needs.

Prior to installation, a team of Genesal experts assessed the location where the genset would be installed in order to gather all the required data and information, this was then passed on to the engineering team to elaborate accurate plans adapted to the product and its eventual location.

In the case of Coruna Airport, our expert technical personnel had to take into account the unusual characteristics and conditions encountered in the area. For example, district cooling was applied by connecting the genset to a dry cooler on the roofing of the machine room.

Features

  • The generator set is open, with a remote cooling system, installed on the roof of the engine room. The exhaust gas silencer is made of stainless steel, suitable for outdoor installation.
  • It is equipped with Ni-Cd batteries.
  • It includes a fuel cooling system.
