process of preparing bitumen (which most Australian roads are
made out of). This machine is designed to pick up aggregate from the

reliability are paramount. Genpower Generator were commissioned
by the Grand Prix organisers to provide lighting solutions for the race, and
armed with ComAp control systems they shone the spotlight on the world’s top
drivers over three nights.

The race was illuminated by 24 individual 500-kVA Genpower generators, powering

1,500 special lighting rigs. To control all of this power Genpower’s Managing Director Bahadir Celim
and his experienced events team carefully considered all available systems on the market
and chose the ComAp’s InteliGen NTC BaseBox and InteliVision 8 combination. An event of this
magnitude doesn’t just need lighting. Beyond the track, 12 additional 50-kVA, InteliLite NT AMF 25

 Wind/Diesel Hybrid Power
Generation System Control
Efate, Vanuatu
Vanuatu is a small island nation located
in the South Pacific Ocean. The island’s main
income comes from tourism, and it is noted as being
one of the top holiday destinations in the world.

To generate electricity, the island has two diesel power plants, and the
main one has two large (4 MW each) slow-speed engines. These are most
efficient at high load levels. UNELCO have also installed a 3-MW wind farm and its
output obviously varies greatly from zero to 3 MW. An additional problem is that if the wind
gets too strong, the wind farm automatically shuts down in order to protect itself. This means
that the output goes from 3 MW to zero in 30 seconds which can cause overloads and blackouts
on the island.

In the first phase of the project, ComAp designed a system where four spare 800-kW gen-sets
were upgraded to the InteliGen NTC BaseBox and these run in parallel with the mains in a power
management mode to balance the load variations and wind turbine output. In the second phase,
ComAp also upgraded another six gen-sets at the other power plant to InteliGen (these sets were
hardly used after the first phase of retrofits).

We strike Most of the time one set is running but as the wind drops off other sets will start up through standard

Hvidovre Hospital is located just outside Copenhagen.

The hospital is one of Denmark’s largest, with over 40,000 patients
admitted each year. It has 35 different departments spread over 300,000
square metres of land. This posed quite a challenge when installing a backup
power system for the hospital complex.

The backup system included five FG Wilson diesel generators, all equipped with
InteliSys NTC BaseBox controllers and InteliVision 8 displays for monitoring and
control. Although the entire backup system was monitored from a control room using
an InteliVision 17Touch, an InteliVision 5 display attached to each generator allowed for
individual monitoring, to ensure the generators were all available for use, should an emergency

 Lemminkäinen is one of the biggest construction companies in Europe. Specialising in
infrastructure construction in the Nordic countries, they have extensive experience in roads,
railways, earthworks, hydraulics and underground construction and excavation. They are based
in Finland but also operate extensively in Russia, Sweden and Norway. Lemminkäinen operates
a rock-crushing plant outside the city of Nokia in southern Finland. This rock-crushing plant
provides rock products for use in their projects including building foundations, road bases and
train track ballast. The rock-crushing machines, specially manufactured for Lemminkäinen by
the Mesto Corporation, have all been fitted with ComAp InteliDrive controllers.

InteliDrive controllers are used to control the engines on the crushing machines, as well
as on their auxiliary generators. The InteliDrive range of controllers was particularly suitable
for this particular application because of their robust design and dust-proof casing –
especially important in a rock-crushing application.

they last well in these very harsh environments.

There are two backup gen-sets for the arena. The gen-sets need to operate
