Power Station Reinforcement

This project, involved a comprehensive scope of work that encompassed the design, manufacturing, supply and on-site delivery, testing and commissioning of two electric diesel generator sets. Each genset was specified to have a nominal power output of 640 kW in COP mode. 

Additionally, the provision of all necessary accessories and auxiliaries was included, essential for the optimal operation of the generator sets. 

Overall, the successful completion of this project represents a significant enhancement in the reliability and efficiency of energy supply in the intended application. 

Our Solution

Our mission for this project was very clear – to ensure both reliability and efficiency, providing a continuous and uninterrupted power supply to the consumers on Brava Island. The installation of these new Gensets is strategically designed to guarantee the N-1 reserve, mitigating any potential power disruptions during scheduled maintenance intervals.
