urogen SRL recently delivered 2 x 1,750 kVA generators, complete with Baudouin engines and Mecc Alte alternators, to a key hospital facility based in South Sardinia. The gensets feature Baudouin 12M33G1650/5 which depend on three-phase alternators of the Mecc Alte ECO 46 1S4 model.
The 12M33G1650/5 engine is a high-performance power solution designed for industrial and commercial use. Its large displacement and high-power output make it ideal for applications requiring reliable energy. This engine is particularly useful in settings where consistent power is critical, such as in manufacturing plants, data centres, and large facilities. Its design ensures durability and efficiency, making it a preferred choice for many businesses, says the manufacturer.
The Mecc Alte ECO46 range has many product features designed into the alternator. Self-regulation is obtained through a digital electronic regulator that is fed by an auxiliary winding. The manufacturer guarantees an almost constant supply from the generator – under any possible operating condition. A rotating inductor is fitted with a damper cage.
The windings have a 2/3 pitch inorder to reduce the harmonic content of voltage. The entire series is manufactured according to, and complies with, the most common specifications such as CEI 2-3, IEC 34-1, EN 60034-1, VDE 0530, BS 4999-5000, CAN/ CSA-C22.2 No14-95- No100-95.
Are power outages a real problem in Sardinia?
In Sardinia, Terna manages 4,323 km of high-voltage and very-high-voltage power lines and 25 electrical substations. In addition, Terna also employs a workforce of approximately 170 people in the region. Sardinia is electrically connected with the continent through two direct-current power lines: SA.PE.I. (Sardinia-Italian Peninsula) and SA.CO.I. (Sardinia-Corsica-Italy). A further alternating current connection, called SAR.CO. connects Sardinia and Corsica. The total installed power in Sardinia is approximately 5,000 MW. The main source powering the thermoelectric plants is coal (almost half), followed by gas, diesel and fuel oil.
Grid failure nevertheless remains a possibility in Sardinia. Terna has carried out and planned a series of projects in Sardinia to develop the electricity transmission grid aimed at resolving the past and current critical grid issues and significantly increasing the security of the island’s electricity system, in terms of both quality and continuity of electricity supply to businesses and households: € 1 billion of investments in the territory, of which approximately €800 million related to work already done and approximately €200 million for work on developing and maintaining existing plants which is still to be carried out.
