Genesal Energy has designed and supplied Manchester Airport with ‘a mobile generator set 'delivering power wherever it’s needed, quickly and efficiently', reports the manufacturer.
A GEN440VA Open generator set model was designed to operate as a portable solution within the airport environment. Compliant with European Stage V emissions regulations, the unit can be moved and used across different areas without restrictions, facilitating its integration into maintenance and support operations.
Supplying power autonomously across different airport locations, this set reduces the need to move heavy machinery or install complex installations. This design helps optimise response times and improve efficiency in maintenance tasks, while also contributing to reduced operational costs.
The Genesal Energy engineering team developed a design with compact dimensions and an optimised configuration to facilitate transport and operation. It includes a 750-litre bunded fuel tank with leak tray, ensuring high autonomy. Also, an additional silencing system enables compliance with the acoustic limits set by the client.
The unit features a Deep Sea DSE8610 control system, an 800A circuit breaker suitable for synchronisation, a heater to improve starting performance, and sockets adapted to the UK standard, among other elements. These features ensure reliable operation and seamless integration into the airport’s operational environment.

The GEN440VA Open generator set model is regarded as being special for its portable design which allows it to be moved and used across different areas without restrictions, facilitating its integration into maintenance and support operations. It is compliant with European Stage V emissions regulations, ensuring that it operates within the limits set by the European Union.
The generator set includes a 750-litre bunded fuel tank with leak tray, which ensures high autonomy and reduces the need to move heavy machinery or install complex installations. Additionally, it features an additional silencing system to comply with the acoustic limits set by the client, making it suitable for use in airport environments. The unit also features a Deep Sea DSE8610 control system, an 800A circuit breaker suitable for synchronisation, a heater to improve starting performance, and sockets adapted to the UK standard, among other elements. These features ensure reliable operation and seamless integration into the airport’s operational environment.
The Deep Sea DSE8610 control system features an intelligent mono display auto start load share control module capabilities. It can synchronise up to 32 generators within the same system, offering optimum flexibility for system expansion. The module includes features such as dead bus sensing, remote communications, direct governor control, and a configurable event log. It is designed to handle complex grid type diesel generator applications and is packed with multiple features and benefits that are unrivalled across the generator control industry.
"The DSE8610 MKII is ideal for a wide variety of demanding load share applications, providing comprehensive communication and system expansion options,"
reports the company.
