Mackwoods Energy PLC recently installed and commissioned on a turnkey
basis a power plant and a control systems at the LAYA Safari Boutique
Hotel, Yala. The 0.5MW thermal power plant coupled to an automatic
synchronization system was designed for parallel running of the
generators based on load. Whilst saving on capital cost on investment in
large capacity generators , by parallel interfacing generators , LAYA
Safari would enjoy substantial savings in their operational and
maintenance costs as the Power Drive Automatic Synchronization System
(PASS) will ensure that power will be delivered as per the required load
at that moment.
This would also help to reduce their costs of energy consumption/fuel
. The sound too has been substantially reduced through an unique sound
attenuator design thus reducing noise pollution in keeping with the
environmental norms. The plant will automatically start when there is a
grid power outage and supply power to the hotel in less than 5 seconds
whilst synchronization panel automatically controls the load sharing
between two generators when in parallel operation. Parallel operation
also helps to reduce costly break down time , maintenance costs and
customer dissatisfaction. The frequency and voltage control achieved in
defined categories of ISO 8528 standard is similar to a single genset
operation depending on the load level demand.
This facility works economically and helps to save on energy and fuel
consumption and reduce generator wear and tear. When the grid power is
established the system will automatically transfer the grid power to the
load and generators will shut off automatically after a few minutes.
Mackwoods Energy has also provided such PASS solution systems
including automatic transfer switching to Airtel, Sri Lanka Army, Sri
Lanka Navy, UNICEF, GTZ, CECB, General and Teaching Hospitals Islandwide
to name a few. As a power solutions provider Mackwoods Energy has
undertaken numerous assignments and is firmly committed to achieving
excellence in all spheres of activity such as power generators, diesel
engines, electrical engineering, telecommunication engineering, marine
engineering including solutions in sustainable energy such as hydro,
solar, wind, biogas and biomass. |
