One of Gen-tech’s most notable strengths and
area of recognized expertise is in the design, application
and maintenance of on-site power generation paralleling
systems. Some of the projects that have been most
notable include:
NEW SYSTEMS:
Cave Creek Schools: Provided a co-generation
and emergency generating system. The system includes
switchgear to allow paralleling with the utility grid.
We were instrumental in providing the contractor with
installation assistance and start-up of the system.
Arizona Department of Administration:
Provided paralleling switchgear for paralleling of
two units with dissimilar characteristics –
Rolls Royce and Mitsubishi engines. These two generator
sets had different governors, generators, regulators,
and kW ratings.
Luke Air Force Base Hospital: Provided
paralleling switchgear for two existing ONAN generators
for emergency power.
Luke Air Force Base Peaking Plant:
Rebuilt and modified one 1250kW, 360 RPM, Enterprise
engine. Provided parallel to the utility, 4160 volt
switchgear. Interfaced engine controls to the new
switchgear.
Maryvale Samaritan Hospital: Replaced
old paralleling switchgear with new gear. During the
installation, emergency power readiness was maintained
as required by the customer.
Valley Lutheran Hospital: Replaced
old paralleling switchgear with new gear. During the
installation, emergency power readiness was maintained
as required by the customer.
Motorola: Provided paralleling equipment
and interface for two existing ONAN generators.
IRS – Ogden, UT: Provided
start-up service for a major switchgear manufacturer
for a three 1000 kW emergency generator system.
V.A. Hospital – Phoenix: Provided
two 6—kW DMT generator sets with Zenith paralleling
switchgear and automatic transfer switches.
Motorola MOS 5: Provided two 1100
kW, 4160V generator sets with ASCO paralleling switchgear
and automatic transfer switches.
Arrowhead Hospital – Phoenix:
Provided new 600kW generator set and ASCO paralleling
switchgear to incorporate new generator to parallel
with existing generator systems.
Norwest Bank: Provided three 825kW
DMT generator sets with Russelectric paralleling switchgear
and automatic transfer switches for Phoenix data center.
Yuma Regional Medical Center: Provided
two Generac Power Systems 1000kW generator sets with
ASCO paralleling and distribution switchgear as a
turnkey project for the medical center.
Hotel San Pedro Sula, Honduras:
Provided start-up service for a major switchgear manufacturer
for two 750 kW Kohler units.
Charles Schwab: Provided start-up
service for a major for two Kohler generators.
Charles Schwab: Provided three diesel fueled generator
sets, each rated 765kW, and the associated paralleling
switchgear and automatic transfer switches.
TRICO Electric Cooperative, Inc.:
Provided and installed 1635kW rated diesel fueled
standby generator system with switchgear for stand-alone
or parallel with the utility capabilities.
SWITCHGEAR UP-GRADES
Arizona Department of Transportation:
Upgraded 4160 volt parallel to the utility switchgear
to enhance remote system operation and increase level
of generator safeties and reliability.
Winslow Hospital: Increased co-generation
system from 80kW to 122kW with parallel to the utility
system up-grades to permit the use of the larger generator
set.
Amway, British Virgin Islands: Provided
added level of system safety and panel modifications
for latest style of governor controls. This is a five
engine paralleling system.
Southwest Gas Groves: Provided PLC
logic program up-grades to enhance co-gen/emergency
systems operations.
SERVICE
GEN-TECH is currently providing our custom service
contract program to many of the above listed systems
as well as numerous others not listed. Our ability
to understand and apply paralleling control logic
allowed many systems to operate and remain in service
until parts could be obtained to effect permanent
repairs. GEN-TECH can upgrade many older systems to
include PLC logic in order to enhance the systems
operation and reliability.
