Generator sets
78 – 596 kVA (62 tot 477 KWe)
The complete series of ship generators from Volvo Penta offers a reliable and efficient generation of electrical power for emergency generators, power supply on board, and diesel-electric drive. All generators are delivered complete and tested, ready for installation on board. All generators are delivered complete and tested, ready for installation on board.
The diesel engines with coordinated generators and monitoring systems are ideal for multiple installations on board. They have the approval of the key classification authorities and can, if desired, be delivered with product certificates.
The generator sets are available with the following cooling options:
- Radiator-cooled (RC) for emergency and harbor use.
- Keel cooled (KC) or heat exchanger (HE) for auxiliary power pumps, hotel loads, etc.
Monitoring systems
Volvo Penta’s control system is based on the Modbus protocol and is equipped with a large number of cabled connections. This provides a fast and secure integration with most switchboards and energy management systems on the market. The monitoring system and functions — such as autostart, switching off and alarms — satisfy all international standards.
From purchase to commissioning
We supply new engines for re-motorization and new construction. With our experience and knowledge, we are able to support our clients from the design to the eventual purchase stage. Based on the application and the required power, we will provide you various options. We will also take into account any other components that must communicate with the engine.
Finally, we will put into operation the engine(s) with the greatest possible care and in accordance with Volvo Penta’s protocol. This protocol specifies high-quality requirements for commissioning and ensures that the standard warranty period will proceed without problem.
