Standby power systems

An automatic standby power system starts the generator set during a grid outage and supplies power to selected loads. Supply is returned to the grid once the grid voltage has recovered and stabilized. We size the solution according to the site's loads and runtime requirements.

Implementation

Implementation options

The generator set can be placed in a technical room, a sound-attenuated enclosure, a container, or on a mobile platform. The implementation is chosen based on the installation site, mobility, and noise requirements.

Open-frame standby generator set

Open-frame generator set

An assembly installed in a plant room. Ventilation, exhaust removal, and noise control of the space are designed together with the installation.

Standby generator set in a sound-attenuated enclosure

Sound-attenuated enclosure

An enclosure solution designed for outdoor placement. Weather protection, ventilation, and sound attenuation are sized according to the site.

Standby power system installed in a container

Container solution

An implementation that brings the generator set and auxiliary systems together. Equipment and placement are designed for the site's use and servicing.

Standby generator set mounted on a trailer

Mobile solution

A generator set that can be moved from site to site. The platform, connections, and transportability are defined according to the need.

Sizing and delivery scope

In sizing we take into account load situations, motor starts, power quality, and the required amount of fuel. The delivery can include transfer switching, a fuel system, remote monitoring, installation, as well as commissioning and agreed load tests.

Fuel and operating conditions

The suitability of HVO fuel is verified from the selected engine manufacturer's instructions. Heating and other equipment for cold operating environments are defined according to the installation site and starting requirements.
