enesal Energy has reached a new milestone with the design and delivery of two generator sets which provide emergency power to a combined cycle power plant - a critical infrastructure for Belgium’s energy system. From the very beginning, this project presented a significant challenge: compliance with some of the strictest environmental regulations in Europe: those governing emissions and noise for combined cycle thermal power plants.
The project was located in the energy heart of Europe, the solution, in Spanish engineering. A custom emergency power system was developed to protect this facility where even a few seconds without electricity can compromise cooling, fire protection and lighting systems.
Failure was not an option. The technical demands became an opportunity to showcase our engineering capability. The Genesal Energy team developed a turnkey solution comprising two soundproofed generator sets in 40ft containers with medium-voltage output, connected in parallel to each other and to the grid. A third 20ft container is home to the high-tech electrical room, where the control system and medium-voltage switchgear are located. What makes this project truly exceptional is how each component was adapted to meet the environmental regulations.
The installation includes a complete exhaust gas post-treatment system with DPF filters and SCR technology using urea injection, which ensures ultra-low emissions. The design also successfully reduced the noise level to below 80 dB at one metre.
Strategic collaboration with Mitsubishi
The collaboration with Mitsubishi was key to the success of this project. At the heart of the two generator sets installed in Belgium are Mitsubishi engines, selected for their high performance, durability and easy maintenance.
Mitsubishi worked closely with Genesal Energy’s engineering team during the design phase to ensure seamless integration of the technology. This cooperation was essential to ensure optimal performance under critical conditions, while meeting Europe’s strictest emissions, efficiency and sustainability regulations.
Every detail of the solution was conceived to withstand the most demanding conditions: from ATEX-certified fuel tank heaters, designed to operate in potentially explosive environments, to leak detection trays and auxiliary heating and air conditioning systems that ensure consistent performance even under extreme temperatures.
The system is managed remotely via a next-generation Master Panel, which allows both generator sets to be operated simultaneously, disconnected individually or adjusted in real time. The installation also includes medium-voltage switchgear with automatic circuit breakers, grounding resistors, and a common power output system, providing maximum operational flexibility and safety.
A commitment to custom engineering
The project developed in Belgium is a clear example of Genesal Energy’s commitment to tailor-made engineering, sustainability and energy efficiency applied to critical infrastructures. From the initial design to commissioning, every decision was made with the goal of ensuring maximum operational reliability, environmental responsibility, and compliance with Europe’s most demanding regulatory standards.
Beyond its technical complexity, this installation reflects a vision of energy based on innovation, collaboration and excellence. Genesal Energy has demonstrated its ability to adapt every component, optimize every system, and rely on strategic partners like Mitsubishi to successfully meet a major challenge.
