Emergency gensets meet power challenge
Ali Guzel reports on how emergency power gensets are used in the event of case of grid failure.

nterrupted services due to power outages are history for Türk Telekom’s customers in Istanbul. Over the past few years, three emergency power gensets from MTU Onsite Energy have reliably generated power for private telephone and
internet use as well as banks, education authorities, the police and other security services in case of grid failure. Turkey’s rapid economic growth is a challenge for its national power networks, which is why many private Turkish companies rely on MTU Onsite Energy
to provide continuous power based on gas engines and emergency power generated by diesel units. Te company has already installed systems producing 150MW of power in the country and 76 units were added in 2013 alone.
Rising demand Te Turkish Electricity Transmission Company estimates that the annual rise in electricity demand until 2023 is likely to be around 6 per cent.
Three Type DS 2595 D5S emergency gensets are powered by three MTU Type 16V 4000 G63 diesel engines which produce 5.190 kVA of electric power.
