Hospital Generator Replacement
May 18, 2023
The Great Energy team recently replaced an old emergency standby generator set with this new CAT C13 powered 400kva generator set.
The install included a standalone fuel supply tank with stainless lines and valves, fuel polishing cabinet with Donaldson Blue series filter cartridges and pump system along with a range of other upgrades specified by the customer.
Great Energy also provided a hire generator as emergency backup for the duration of the remove and install process to ensure no loss of power on site
Great Energy is proud to share our recent collaboration with Townsville Water Police aboard QPV Brett Irwin! We had the honour of assisting in vital repairs by upgrading their older Deep Sea Electronics generator controller with a new model. Our expert team also installed a custom configuration file, ensuring seamless and reliable operation of the marine generator during their sea missions. At Great Energy, we provide top-notch services, offering supply, programming, and retrofitting solutions for the complete Deep Sea Electronics equipment range. The QPV Brett Irwin is an impressive vessel, and we commend the incredible crew for their outstanding efforts in safeguarding the waters of Far North Queensland.
Great Energy diesel fitters recently completed a mid-life rebuild and rear engine main seal repair for one of our valued customers. This was one of three Cummins K50 – 1250kVA generators receiving scheduled mid-life engine repairs. This work was completed in situ at a remote location with a maximum allowed turnaround time of 7 days per generator, from shut down to recommissioned.

New toys to play with! Testing our new 200KW mobile load bank, connected to one of our Hire Generators running at 80% load. Great Energy has a range of mobile resistive load banks, up to 800KW, available for testing and tuning of generators while under load. They’re also great for blowing out the cobwebs on smokey generators that have been sitting unused or running at low loads for a long time!
Introducing the latest addition to the Great Energy fleet. Our 500KVA generator for hire! Assembled just in time to be connected and fully integrated as backup power in a Critical Start application where the main generator was being replaced. Great Energy has a range of generator hire options to suit your requirements and budget. From short term to long term or rent to own with a variety of sizes and servicing options. Contact our experienced team to enquire about the wide range of options available.
Assisting an interstate customer with some onsite testing, diagnostics and repairs on one of their generators in a remote location. We were able to repair an intermittent fault and made some improvements to the programming and operation of their generator controller. Being able to take our load bank to site was invaluable, ensuring correct operation of the machine and proving the effectiveness of the repairs before leaving site.
Great Energy would like to introduce you to our newest apprentice, Blake Gunton. Blake is 15 years old and came to us from Cairns High School in March of this year. He is currently undertaking a School Based Apprenticeship to become a Heavy Equipment Fitter. This means that as a part of his Apprenticeship, he comes to work alongside our experienced tradesmen two days a week. Next year Blake will become a full-time apprentice on a 4 year apprenticeship. Blake’s main reason for choosing this apprenticeship was that he likes working with his hands, and fixing engines. He has said that he has found Great Energy to be a nice caring company who has helped him to learn a lot. Great Energy is proud to support young apprentices like Blake gain valuable skills in a niche market that is Power Generation equipment, and believes it to be an important step to shape the industry for the better, by helping to influence not only the availability of skilled workers, but also the quality of work that they put out. Well Done Blake, you’re doing a great job!
