The emergency power generators based on 20-cylinder mtu Series 4000 P63 engines, each with an output of 2,600 kWe, ensure that the power supply on the converter platforms remains stable even if the main power supply fails. They also ensure that control and monitoring systems continue to operate, that the infrastructure of the service crew quarters is maintained, and that lighting and other safety-critical systems do not fail. They also supply power for cooling and ventilation of important system components to prevent damage from overheating. In extreme cases, the emergency power generators enable the systems to be shut down and restarted in a controlled manner.
“The engines have to be extremely reliable because they are the piece of the puzzle that matters when it comes down to it,” explained Detlev Köster, Sales Manager in the Offshore business at Rolls-Royce Power Systems. “We are delighted that Eureka Pumps is continuing to rely on our products in project phase 2.”
Rolls-Royce secures critical infrastructure worldwide in line with its strategy: The company offers mtu emergency power solutions based on diesel and gas generators as well as dynamic uninterruptible power systems (UPS). In addition to offshore platforms, these include data centers, industrial plants, airports, hospitals, power plants, and numerous other facilities that require an uninterruptible power supply.
