Great Energy stepped in with specialized expertise to assist with a 2000kVA HV generator. Our task was to install and program a new Caterpillar AVR and recommission the Heinzmann Si-TEC control system after a recent breakdown. During our assessment, we identified an alignment issue in the High Voltage alternator, which we promptly corrected using the required shims and checked crankshaft end float to ensure the equipment’s durability and longevity. Our dedicated team ensured the entire system was synchronized to the electricity grid for full load testing. After thorough tuning and testing, the generator is now back to operating at its full capacity. We’re proud to have played a part in restoring this powerful generator to its optimal performance!
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.
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
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!
