outh Africa’s generator set company NEWWAY has provided four 750kVA diesel gensets for a large shopping mall based in Eastern Cape, South Africa. These gensets all feature advanced Baudouin engines and Leroy Somer alternators.
A NEWWAY company spokesman commented on the 3MVA package provided:
“Our team was commissioned by renowned renewable energy specialist to design and supply 4x 750 KVA Sync to loadshare generator sets for this hybrid power solution at second largest shopping mall centre in the picturesque Eastern Cape province. Special mandate was issued against noise pollution due to surrounding residential area. Our design and production team got this build down to a sound level of 64dBA at 7m. The package features durable, robust, built-to-last Baudouin 6M33G2D0-S engines, Leroy-Somer alternators and DSE8610MKII controllers packaged into our super silent container design. This was an incredible project and we are ‘super stoked’ to have been part of this journey.”
Baudouin 6M33G2D0-S engines: PowerKit engines like these are a popular choice at the centre of continuous (COP) applications. Installations without connection to an electrical grid rely on power generation equipment to supply reliable and stable primary electrical energy. PowerKit engines are used to power equipment providing constant base load power for installations such as remote mining sites, large retail centres, sensitive industrial processes and rural micro-grids. Offering a highly competitive TCO, gained through excellent fuel consumption, proven durability and long service intervals, economic dependability is ‘why customers choose Baudouin PowerKit engines for COP applications’, says the company.
The DSE8610MKII controller fitted to the gensets represents the latest in complex load sharing & synchronising control technology. Designed to handle the most complex grid type generator applications the DSE8610 MKII control module is packed with multiple features and benefits which are 'unrivalled across the generator control industry', reports the manufacturer.
