Wind turbine diesel generators

At Genesal Energy, we have a strong international presence in the renewable energy sector, particularly in wind power projects. From the early stages of wind farm development, our generator sets have been part of the support system to ensure continuous operation in any contingency.

Wind farms are usually located in highly exposed areas. If the wind turbines stop generating electricity or disconnect from the grid, it is vital they can continue to orient themselves to prevent structural damage. This is where wind farm backup generators come into play, powering yaw and control systems when no supply is available.

These systems are not only used in emergencies. In many cases, wind turbine diesel generators are employed during wind farm commissioning, maintenance works, or as a stable power source for SCADA systems, hurricane-control systems, or communications.

We design each generator set individually to adapt to the environment, wind farm topology, electrical configuration, and customer requirements. In wind installations, the reliability of the auxiliary system is just as important as the main production.
