In the latter case, through a remote contact sent from the client\u2019s DCS. When the genset is ready for the load, the loading sequence begins automatically to feed the installation\u2019s essential loads.When mains supply is reestablished, a non-zero transfer between the mains and the genset is carried out, and the genset stops automatically.<\/li>\n<li><strong>In manual mode,<\/strong> the client can manage the whole system through the control panel\u2019s touch-screen. From there, its possible to locally start up and stop the genset and manage its breakers, as well as those of the mains and coupling of the semi- busbars.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Why is it a customised solution?<\/h3>\n<p>Because we design completely tailor-made solutions, having listened to the client\u2019s needs and establishing how we can turn what they need into reality. At Genesal Energy we design, for example, soundproof gensets which are then installed in a container with elements which have been thought-out and designed to comply with our clients\u2019 concrete needs: from fire-detection systems, to air conditioning, motorized louvers, fans, etc.<\/p>\n<div class='flex_column_table av-kholgcqr-1f6a5a0260dbf2347ea38b41f2bb2957 sc-av_one_half av-equal-height-column-flextable'>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kholgcqr-1f6a5a0260dbf2347ea38b41f2bb2957\">\n.flex_column.av-kholgcqr-1f6a5a0260dbf2347ea38b41f2bb2957{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-kholgcqr-1f6a5a0260dbf2347ea38b41f2bb2957 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-0  el_before_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top av-zero-column-padding  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kholfud6-a1bc62b2115de77c4fd88172460c46cb\">\n.avia-image-container.av-kholfud6-a1bc62b2115de77c4fd88172460c46cb img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-kholfud6-a1bc62b2115de77c4fd88172460c46cb .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-kholfud6-a1bc62b2115de77c4fd88172460c46cb av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-1  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-39126 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-39126 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/genesalenergy.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/12\/grupos-electrogenos-oil-gas-mexico-genesal-energy-plataforma-offshore-mexico-detalle1.jpg\" alt='' title='grupos-electrogenos-oil-gas-mexico-genesal-energy-plataforma-offshore-mexico-detalle1'  height=\"900\" width=\"600\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/genesalenergy.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/12\/grupos-electrogenos-oil-gas-mexico-genesal-energy-plataforma-offshore-mexico-detalle1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/genesalenergy.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/12\/grupos-electrogenos-oil-gas-mexico-genesal-energy-plataforma-offshore-mexico-detalle1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/genesalenergy.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/12\/grupos-electrogenos-oil-gas-mexico-genesal-energy-plataforma-offshore-mexico-detalle1-470x705.jpg 470w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class='av-flex-placeholder'><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2cfna0t-a214f40613e2e5f89717de7e6d7f9035\">\n.flex_column.av-2cfna0t-a214f40613e2e5f89717de7e6d7f9035{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-2cfna0t-a214f40613e2e5f89717de7e6d7f9035 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-2  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_half  flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top av-zero-column-padding  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kholg4jp-8a656edf0c2407f06db466ab4fe66f85\">\n.avia-image-container.av-kholg4jp-8a656edf0c2407f06db466ab4fe66f85 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-kholg4jp-8a656edf0c2407f06db466ab4fe66f85 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-kholg4jp-8a656edf0c2407f06db466ab4fe66f85 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-3  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-39127 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-39127 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/genesalenergy.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/12\/grupos-electrogenos-oil-gas-mexico-genesal-energy-plataforma-offshore-mexico-detalle2.jpg\" alt='' title='grupos-electrogenos-oil-gas-mexico-genesal-energy-plataforma-offshore-mexico-detalle2'  height=\"900\" width=\"600\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/genesalenergy.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/12\/grupos-electrogenos-oil-gas-mexico-genesal-energy-plataforma-offshore-mexico-detalle2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/genesalenergy.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/12\/grupos-electrogenos-oil-gas-mexico-genesal-energy-plataforma-offshore-mexico-detalle2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/genesalenergy.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/12\/grupos-electrogenos-oil-gas-mexico-genesal-energy-plataforma-offshore-mexico-detalle2-470x705.jpg 470w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.
