THREE 3,300 KVA DIESEL GENERATORS FOR HAMAD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, DOHA, QATAR

NASSER BIN KHALED HEAVY EQUIPMENT W.L.L. of Abu Hamour, Qatar, was responsible for installing and specifying three DS 3300 - 3300 kVA customised gensets units onsite and powering them up for use at Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar.

Home to Qatar Airways since 2014, the airport is named after the previous Emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani. Hamad International Airport became the first Middle Eastern airport to be awarded the Skytrax’s World Best Airport for 2021 in the 2021 World Airport Awards, ending the 7-year dominance of Singapore’s Changi Airport.

Qatar’s Hamad International Airport has now been named the World’s Best Airport for the second year running.

The mtu Series 4000 diesel generator sets from Rolls-Royce have been employed worldwide for diverse applications - data centres, hospitals, airports, industrial plants, residential buildings, public facilities, decentralised power stations, microgrids and hybrid solutions.

Available in six different power ratings, including standby, prime and continuous power, the mtu Series 4000 diesel gensets cover the range from 1,600 to 4,000 kVA (50 Hz) and from 1,125 to 3,250 kWe (60 Hz).

In addition to meeting highest quality, performance and fuel efficiency demands, they continue to define the benchmark for excellence with a variety of highly flexible, eco- and cost-efficient features, including lowand medium-voltage alternators, various controller configurations and mechanical or electrical radiators.

- An engine-generator set designed and manufactured in facilities certified to standards ISO 2008:9001 and ISO 2004:14001

- Generator set complying with ISO 8528

- Generator meeting NEMA MG1, BS5000, ISO, DIN EN and IEC standards

- NFPA 11

Power ratings for the MTU 20V4000 DS3300 Diesel Generator Set are as follows:

- System ratings: 3230 kVA - 3430 kVA

- Accepts rated load in one step per NFPA 110

- Generator set complies to G3 according to ISO 8528-5

- Generator set exceeds load steps according to ISO 8528. The genset offers low fuel consumption, optimised system integration ability, high reliability, high availability of power and long maintenance intervals and provide the highest power density with industry-leading load factors. The genset also provides up to 4,000 kVA (50Hz) and 3,250 kWe (60Hz), reports Rolls-Royce. www.nbks.com www.mtu-solutions.com www.rolls-royce.com

The gensets feature extremely fast ramp up, best load acceptance and transient behaviour with minimal frequency and voltage deviations.

The manufacturer reports tht the gensets offer high performance even under hot ambient conditions and in high altitude environments.

For two years in a row the NBKHeavy Equipment Division has received the prestigious CASE Pinnacle Excellence Award within the MENA Region.

The Pinnacle Excellence Program is a partnership program created to build a stronger and more competitive CASE “Network” in Africa and the Middle East. It recognizes dealerships for achievement in the key areas such as Planning and Performance Improvement.
