In addition, the system has a Baudouin engine coupled to a Mecc Alte medium voltage (6300 V) alternator, mounted on an electro-welded steel base with anti-vibration blocks to minimise vibrations and noise.<\/p>\n<p>For fuel storage, a 3.000 litres double-walled steel tank has been installed, equipped with a leak detection system. Exhaust gases are managed by stainless steel silencers integrated into the container eliminating the need for external installations. Finally, the container has undergone a C4 paint surface treatment in accordance with the ISO12944 standard, providing additional protection against corrosion and environmental wear and tear.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-55451 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/genesalenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/ge-gen1100yc-img1.jpg\" alt=\"Genesal Energy emergency generator set installed at a cogeneration plant in Poznan, key to strengthening the urban district heating network.\" width=\"821\" height=\"464\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Heat networks: an alternative to the traditional model<\/h3>\n<p>Heat networks consist of a centralised infrastructure for the production and distribution of thermal energy.
