The <strong>767 megawatts (MW)<\/strong> combined-cycle power plant, carried out by the <strong>Mexican Federal Electricity Commission (CFE)<\/strong>, is located in the municipality of <strong>Ahome<\/strong>, and will provide electricity to more than 2,5 million citizens. The plant will begin operating in <strong>2020<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h3>Made-to-measure<\/h3>\n<p>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\u2019s concretes needs.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Due to space limits, a fuel capacity of 4000L was integrated inside the container through double-walled fuel tanks to guarantee the <b>continuous operation<\/b> of the genset for <b>over 10 hours at 100% load<\/b>. 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.<\/p>\n<div  class='avia-slideshow av-k5s2vf43-c6a8f20df2f143c7f8486993ea59121e avia-slideshow-1536x1536 av_slideshow avia-slide-slider  avia-builder-el-0  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  av-slideshow-ui av-control-default av-slideshow-manual av-loop-once av-loop-manual-endless av-default-height-applied avia-slideshow-1' data-slideshow-options=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:false,&quot;loop_autoplay&quot;:&quot;once&quot;,&quot;interval&quot;:5,&quot;loop_manual&quot;:&quot;manual-endless&quot;,&quot;autoplay_stopper&quot;:false,&quot;noNavigation&quot;:false,&quot;bg_slider&quot;:false,&quot;keep_padding&quot;:false,&quot;hoverpause&quot;:false,&quot;show_slide_delay&quot;:0}\"  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><ul class='avia-slideshow-inner ' style='padding-bottom: 100%;'><li  data-controls='' data-mute='aviaTBaviaTBvideo_mute' data-loop='aviaTBaviaTBvideo_loop' data-disable-autoplay=''  data-video-ratio='1.7777777777778' class='avia-slideshow-slide av-k5s2vf43-c6a8f20df2f143c7f8486993ea59121e__0  av-video-slide  av-video-service-html5  av-mute-video av-loop-video av-mobile-fallback-image  av-single-slide slide-1 slide-odd'><div data-rel='slideshow-1' class='avia-slide-wrap '    itemprop=\"video\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\" ><div class='av-click-overlay'><\/div><video class='avia_video'  autoplay playsinline loop preload=\"metadata\" muted controls id='player_33461_202743571_1817742493'><source src=\"https:\/\/genesalenergy.com\/documentos\/genesal-energy-topolobampo-3.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\" \/><\/video><div class=\"av-click-to-play-overlay\"><div class=\"avia_playpause_icon\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<h3>Main Features<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exterior build: 40\u2019\u2019 HC container suitable for marine transport\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Control cabinet integrated inside the container\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Engine cooling liquid recirculation and heating system, in order to provide the right temperature for genset start-up.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Air conditioning system in the genset\u2019s control room.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Motorized louvers in the air inlet and outlet.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redundant fans to control the temperature in the engine room.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C51 container surface treatment according to the ISO 12944 standard.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternator anti-condensation heating.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Temperature sensors in the alternator\u2019s windings and bearings.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4000L fuel tank integrated in the container with leakage detection.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Management of the genset\u2019s control system and associated systems of the client\u2019s facilities through a controller and touch-screen.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"gtx-trans\" style=\"position: absolute; left: 358px; top: 48px;\">\n<div class=\"gtx-trans-icon\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Topolobampo III combined-cycle power plant, located in the Mexican state\u00a0of Sinaloa features a special soundproof genset, with a control cabinet integrated inside the container, designed and manufactured in our headquarters in Bergondo (A Coru\u00f1a).
