POWER FOR ITALY’S TELECOMMS TOWERS

Anew emergency diesel generator has been installed by EUROGEN in one of the most important telecommunications nodes of North East Italy. EUROGEN is a member of the Italian DataCenter Association.

The genset is a Model GS2000BAD/CF nominal power 1600 kWe PRP ISO8528 with a Baudouin engine 20M33 SERIES. The engine features a cast-iron cylinder block with an inspection door per cylinder, cast iron cylinder liners, wet type and replaceable valves guides and seats and separate cast iron cylinder heads with 4 valves.

Other points of interest include a hardened steel forged crankshaft with induction-hardened journals, crankpins and radius, lube oil-cooled light alloy pistons with high performance piston rings and an advanced cooling system.

Radiator and hoses are supplied separately. There are two separate circuits and the high temperature circuit is equipped with a thermostatically-controlled system with two gear-driven coolant pumps.

The Baudouin engine has 20-cylinders, Bore & Stroke 150 X 185 mm, a total displacement of 65.4 litres and a counter-clockwise engine rotation. The Rated Speed is 1500/ 1800 RPM.

The engine’s lubrication system includes full-flow screwable oil filters, a lube oil purifier with replaceable cartridge and a water-cooled lube oil cooler.

The engine’s fuel elements include a high pressure common rail system with one high pressure pump gear driven in the V-angle of the cylinder block. Two rails are mounted on the sides of the engine, double wall, under inlet manifold. There is a duplex fine filter and water separation filter assembly with transparent cup for better efficiency. An electric fuel priming pump ihas been ntegrated into the filter support. There is also a special rear mounted air filter with restriction indicator, plus an exhaust manifold shield for heat isolation.

In the Air Intake and Exhaust System 4 compressors are feeding a single water-air intercooler, mounted over the exhaust system flywheel housing, with vertical flow. There is a special rear-mounted air filter with restriction indicator.

The engine’s electrical system has a 24V DC electric starter motor and battery charging alternator, with low oil pressure & high water temperature sensors. There is also an SAE 00 flywheel housing and 21” flywheel.

Typical operational hours of the engine are projected at 200 hours per year, with a maximum usage of 500 hours per year. This includes an annual maximum of 25 hours per year at the ESP power rating, according to the manufacturer specifications.

North East Italy is famous for its rugged terrain and mountainous landscapes. In areas like this telecommunications providers rely on backup power to maintain a constant power supply, to prevent power outages, and to ensure the operability of cell towers, equipment, and networks. The backup power supply must be reliable and rugged to cope with local conditions.

The telecommunications industry relies on an elaborate network of cell phone towers and field facilities to transmit phone calls and provide services. To operate effectively, each of these towers and field facilities requires a constant and highly reliable electrical power supply.

The industry transmits voice and electronic data through wired and wireless networks. To provide these services, facilities require substantial electrical power, which usually comes from the electrical grid but may also be converted to direct current (DC) power at -48 volts for wired networks and +24 volts (and its European equivalents) for wireless networks.

Adequate, effective backup power is essential because the electrical grid is subject to disruption by natural and man-made causes like extreme weather and power shortages.

As the telecommunications industry continues to expand rapidly in Italy, the increased use of cell phones, computers, and highspeed Internet requires a corresponding increase in the number of cell phone towers and field facilities needed to support these services.

This expansion introduces new challenges, and service reliability through backup power sources remains at the forefront for industry providers. To prevent power outages, providers must rely on redundancy and backup power sources. Generators provide alternating current (AC) power and can be automatically or manually activated. In remote, off-grid locations, generators are even used as general power sources (Prime Power).

SPAIN’S HEALTH SERVICES BUY 715 KVA DIESEL GENSET

A DE715GC genset (715 kVA, 50 Hz, 400 V, Standby rating) has been installed at a medical building in Madrid, Spain - this building and it s power systems will be completed by a target date of December 2023.

The GC range has been designed primarily for standby power plants offering simplicity and reliability.

Producing reliable power 715 kVA at 50 Hz, the DE715 GC generator set is powered by C15 diesel engine designed to ISO 8528-5 transient response requirements.

The diesel engine is said to be a reliable, rugged, durable design which has been field-proven in thousands of applications worldwide, reports the company.

A spokesman comments: “A four-stroke-cycle diesel engine combines consistent performance and excellent fuel economy with minimum weight.

“The genset has been optimised for 5% Lower Fuel Consumption with longer run times between fuel fills; reduced operating costs.”

The generator set package for Madrid has been fully prototypetested and accepts 100% block load in one step and meets NFPA 110 loading requirements.

It conforms to ISO 8528-5 steady state and transient response requirements.

Special features to look out for on this set include: superior motor starting capability which minimises need for oversizing the alternator. It is designed to match performance and output characteristics of typical diesel engines and also offers robust Class H insulation, with a control panel offering user-friendly interface and navigation.

To cope with Madrid’s high summer temperatures the cooling system has been designed to operate in standard ambient temperatures up to a blistering 55°C (131°F).

Madrid is considered the largest European data centre location. Its geographic location, robust infrastructure and tech-savvy workforce are all reasons companies find the area attractive for infrastructure requirements. Reserach suggests that Spain’s data centre market will see investments of US$ 2.67 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 8.73% between then and now.

The “Digital Spain 2025” agenda launched by the government outlines the country’s digital transformation strategy, which is naturally expected to boost the growth of the data centre industry in the country. Growing demand for managed cloud services has largely driven investments in hyperscale data centres.
