Emergency energy for the Alvaro Cunqueiro Hospital in Vigo (Spain), with a patient capacity of 1500

With a surface area of 280,000 SqM and able to attend 1465 patients, the new Alvaro Cunqueiro Hospital in Vigo delivers healthcare to a surrounding population of 600,000 people.

Genesal Energy has supplied this complex, one of the most ambitious ever undertaken by the Health Ministry of Galicia, with a total of eight gensets to supply the entire complex with up to 11.2 MW of power.

• 6 models – GEN1875 H (1,875 kVA/1,500kW)
• 2 models – GEN1375 H (1,375 kVA/1,500kW)

The solution designed by GENESAL ENERGY was personally adapted to the client’s characteristics, in this case Sergas (the Galician Health Service), a solution which was focused on supplying emergency power in case of a mains failure. The requirements met included up to 14,000 kVA of energy, automatic start-up, and connected to the hospitals main control room. Additionally, rigorous noise reduction standards had to be met, to maintain normal working conditions in a building of this type.
