EPSA transportable concrete generator enclosures

Energy Power Systems Australia (EPSA) has released a transportable concrete enclosure solution for remote power generation. These modular transportable enclosures have all of the structural and environmental characteristics of a traditional concrete engine hall, without the costs and schedule impacts of remote location construction, the company says.

The enclosures are fitted with a Caterpillar generator and all associated control, electrical, ventilation, noise attenuation, exhaust and engine cooling systems. They are then transported to remote sites and installed for immediate operation with no local construction required.

The overall dimensions have been kept within road transportation limits, which can reduce logistics costs and ensure standard transport road access to most parts of the country without the need for escorts.

For installation, only level compacted ground and standard heavy lift crane or hydraulic lift jacks are required. According to the company, the modular design and minimal site work allows site operators to increase or decrease their capacity as required.

The modules can be provided with 1, 2 or 3 MW gas- or diesel-powered Caterpillar generators and can be deployed as standalone or synchronised. They can be operated locally or remotely.

The enclosures are cyclone rated, salt resistant and designed to withstand temperatures up to 50°C. They have low noise output and an extended life relative to traditional metal closures, the company claims.
