Himoinsa supplies 17 MW of emergency power for airport in Turkey
This project offered Himoinsa and Yanmar Turkey the opportunity to provide versatile and reliable energy solutions, taking advantage of this infrastructure.
Himoinsa has been involved in a large-scale power generation project at Malatya airport. This project offered Himoinsa and Yanmar Turkey the opportunity to provide versatile and reliable energy solutions, taking advantage of this infrastructure. The project for the supply of generator sets takes into account aspects such as redundancy, reliability and the capacity to meet the high standards and demanding requirements typical of mission-critical projects such as those in the airport sector.
The specification included the supply of 5 main 2500 kVA generator sets with 6.3 kV medium voltage alternators plus 23 low voltage (400V) generator sets to supply the distributed systems. The 5 2500 kVA generator sets are the main source of emergency power for all the systems in the extension; the other 23 smaller capacity gensets power the systems separately as additional (redundant) emergency systems in different locations.
One HFW100 T5 unit, three HFW160 T5 units and fifteen HFW200 T5 low voltage units have been integrated into the system to provide scalability and redundancy for lower demand operations. In addition, four HTW765 T5 units complement the low voltage system, providing additional power and increasing the overall reliability of the installation. This complete configuration ensures a robust and adaptable power supply to meet the airport’s needs.
In a highly competitive market where generator sets have achieved a considerable degree of standardisation in terms of diesel engine quality, Himoinsa’s main advantage lies in its ability to offer customised solutions adapted to each customer’s individual needs.
This design meets the quality and reliability standards required for a critical infrastructure such as an airport, maximising efficiency and minimising operational risks. The solution provides the ability to run continuously for 20 days at 100% capacity, 28 days at 75% average load and 41 days at 50% average power. This is a very high capacity compared to similar general standby applications. Optional special measures are also included for the chemical protection of this high-capacity fuel during long storage periods.
