Four have been installed in Tarija, another four in Santa Cruz and three in Cochabamba.<\/p>\n<p>In this type of combined cycle power plant there are essential loads that must be permanently supplied power to in order for the installation to operate correctly. This is the case, for instance, of systems from the water treatment plant or the pumps from the lubrication units, which must continue operating so that, i<strong>n the case of an emergency such as a power outage, the whole system can be safely shut down<\/strong>.

A control philosophy was implemented whereby the diesel genset is connected to the electric panel and said panel is connected to the installation\u2019s essential loads\u2019 busbars (in the case of the emergency gensets) or to the gas turbines (in the case of the Black Start gensets). For the implementation of this system, a PLC was installed in order to manage all the elements of the generating installation, as well as a protection relay and a synchronizer for the parallel with mains operation.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, we designed each soundproof genset in its respective container with diverse elements ranging from air conditioning to fire detection systems, motorised louvers, fans\u2026 all thought-out and tailor-made following the client\u2019s needs,<\/p>\n<p>Each genset is made to be integrated and coordinated with the elements of the power plant its installed in.
