Base Load Installation for Ciments Du Sahel
- Client: Ciments Du Sahel
- Project: 8MW, 6,6kV, 50 Hz
- Location: Ciments Du Sahel, Sénégal
The Challenge
Ciments Du Sahel was experiencing high running hours on their generators, which led to frequent breakdowns and inefficiencies in power supply. The generators were unable to consistently meet the contractual power requirements, causing operational disruptions and increased maintenance costs
Provide an emergency power supply to mitigate the power shortage.
Deploy and operationalize the power plant in the shortest time possible.
Ensure continuous power supply to the national grid with minimal downtime.
Maintain full operations and maintenance (O&M) to ensure the plant's optimal performance.
Solution
To address the issue, ENCOMM POWER proposed a comprehensive overhaul and repair of the downed generators. This included sending some of the generators to a Cummins service provider for thorough overhauling and necessary repairs.
Project Specifications:
- Capacity: 8 MW
- Voltage: 6.6 kV
- Frequency: 50 Hz
Implementation
The implementation phase is currently underway, with several generators already sent to the Cummins service provider for overhauling. This strategic move aims to restore the generators to optimal working condition, ensuring they can handle the required base load efficiently.
With this targeted approach, ENCOMM POWER is committed to delivering a sustainable and reliable power solution for Ciments Du Sahel, enhancing their operational stability and performance.
