4 X 1.5MW GENSETS FOR A REAL ESTATE PROJECT IN NIGERIA

Four 4 x 1.5MW generators with mtu engines from Rolls-Royce have been supplied to a residential retail project in Nigeria.

The Eko Atlantic real estate development project has just bought four units of mtu gensets with 1.5 MW each, totalling 6 MW and a longer lifetime of up to 84,000 hours, reducing maintenance time and boosting efficiency.

Each of the mtu 12V 4000L 64 FNER mobile and stationary power modules provide unique flexibility wherever power is needed.

From construction sites to factories to entire communities - the power modules are said to be the ideal solution to maintain power supplies.

mtu genset containers like these offer numerous features and benefits that speed deployment, facilitate installation, reduce environmental impact and cut operating costs.

The containerised unit includes a generator set, switchgear - including a control and monitoring system – together with all necessary connections and supply systems (such as ventilation, lubricant supply and heat recovery).

It is designed not only to provide operators with consistent power, but to enable customers to keep in control and ensure that any downtime is kept to a minimum. The containerised power supply modules use reliable diesel engines which can power a variety of applications, from entire communities to construction sites and factories.

Eko Atlantic is an entire new coastal city being built on Victoria Island adjacent to Lagos, Nigeria. It is a focal point for investors capitalising on rich development growth based on massive demand – and a gateway to emerging markets of the continent says its developers.

Standing on 10 million square metres of land reclaimed from the ocean and protected by an 8.5 kilometre-long sea wall, Eko Atlantic will be the size of Manhattan’s skyscraper district.

Self-sufficient and sustainable, it includes state-of-theart urban design, its own power generation, clean water, advanced telecommunications, spacious roads, and tree-lined streets.

mtu 4000 series generator sets perform at the highest level and cover the power range from 1125 to 3250 kWe (1550 to 3730 kVA).

With a robust design and optimal fuel consumption, mtu diesel generator sets are trusted by customers around the world.

Designed and manufactured in facilities certified to standards ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004

Verified product design, quality and performance integrity Industry-leading average load factor

The sets feature cutting-edge emissions control and outstanding fuel economy. The gensets have superior onsite specific de-rating behavior thanks to to state-of-the-art engine controllers with engine site condition management systems.

Compliant with industry codes & standards the generator set fulfills performance per ISO 8528 and offers 100% load acceptance according to NFPA 110

A permanent magnet excitation system is provided with each generator as standard for improved transient response. It offers best-in-class reliability and availability along with optimised maintenance intervals, This development project in Nigeria is being privately funded by South Energyx Nigeria Limited – the developers and city planners, a subsidiary of the Nigeria-based Chagoury Group of companies.

The companies are working in strategic partnership with the Lagos State Government and are being supported by the Federal Government of Nigeria.

Notable national and international banks have been quick to capitalise on the opportunities with some of Nigeria’s biggest – FCMB, First Bank, Access Bank and Guaranty Trust Bank – partnering with Eko Atlantic, with support from BNP Paribas Fortis and KBC.

A spokesman for the development commented: “ For savvy investors, Eko Atlantic City represents far more than just surging Lagos land value.

“As Nigeria continues its unstoppable trajectory to become the financial capital of Africa, investing in Eko Atlantic opens unprecedented opportunities for tapping into the wider potential of the continent as a whole – widely recognised as the world’s most promising growth horizon.” mtu-solutions.com www.rolls-royce.com
