Project: 4500kVA
Generator Sets: 6 x 750kVA installed and in operation
Equipment: super acoustic containers - 65dB(A) 1,5m
Voltage: 380V.

Recognized as a tourist destination by thousands of Brazilians each year, the city of Paraty, in Río de Janeiro, stands out nationally for its historical and cultural heritage.

To sustain the energy demand in high season, the city's substation is being strengthened with another 4.5 MVA of power.

The energy will be generated through Geraforte generator sets, a manufacturer with national prominence in the segment. The project totalize 06 machines of  750kVA in parallel, all already installed and in operation.

One of the main highlights is the allocation of the generators in super acoustic containers of 40 feet, with more than 12 m wide and weighing 8 tons each. 

Geraforte, as a specialist in customized solutions, developed each container with acoustic insulation of 65dB(A) 1.5m, which allows for noise attenuation that complies with local standards.

The generator sets were manufactured with Volvo Penta engines and WEG alternators, ensuring robustness and reliability for any application.

Project: 3100kVA with medium voltage control panel.
Generator Sets: 2x800kVA + 3x500kVA, all in parallel.
Equipment: open generators.
Voltage: elevation from 480V to 13.8kV.

Usina Tapera is responsible for the distribution and data processing center of 27 stores of Grupo Super Nosso in Belo Horizonte  and region (Brazil). If it runs out of energy, all the cashiers go off the air and the stores stop billing.

To ensure a robust and reliable system, the customer called GERAFORTE!

We were responsible for MODERNIZING THE PLANT IN POWER AND TECHNOLOGY LEVEL.

Services performed: expansion of total power (from 2.5MVA to 3.1MVA) from the replacement of 2 Generator Sets of 500kVA by two of 800KVA; retrofit in 3 Generators to make parallelism compatible through the new deep sea 8610 modules; replacement of control panels; replacement of the medium voltage automation panel with a GERAFORTE panel with deep sea 8660 controller; remote monitoring from the Scada Switch system via Ethernet.

The retrofit carried out includes general maintenance on the engines, alternators, replacement of frames and accessories, as well as the replacement of the control module by the DEEP SEA 8610 model.

DEEP SEA modules were chosen due to their easy accessibility, state-of-the-art software, simplicity and assistance anywhere in Brazil.

The generator sets operate in emergency mode, when there is a lack or failure of energy by the concessionaire, or at peak hours, according to the customer's preference. The machines are also activated when they detect a reduction in the input voltage, a problem caused by the local concessionaire. The voltage generated at 480V is raised to 13.8kV, with the control panel for medium voltage transfer, without a power peak.

GERAFORTE has just secured a stable source of energy for the Post Office of Minas Gerais, Brazil: the inclusion of 1500kVA in diesel generators for the Company's Distribution Center.

The project has 3 generator sets in parallel, each with 500kVA of power, equipped with WEG alternators, VOLVO PENTA engines and COMAP command modules. The machines operate in emergency mode, when there is a network failure or power outage.

The Post Office Distribution Center contains 2 substations and 5 command modules: 1 for each generator (totaling 3), and 1 for each substation. The modules of each substation communicate via optical fiber, allowing medium voltage transfer over long distances and cable savings.

For this case, the client chose the COMAP module due to its affinity and versatility in terms of permissions, user level and remote monitoring. 3 user levels were configured: the highest level allows changing the machine parameters remotely; the 2nd level makes it possible to view the parameters and the remote control of the generator; the 3rd level only allows viewing the parameters.

To ensure extra protection against equipment that is sensitive to sudden voltage variations, a ramp transfer has been added for the Post Office Generators.

Generator Sets: 3 x 1250kVA in parallel.  
Equipment: IP23 enclosure for 1250kVA genset.

The generator sets at Vale S/A are part of the GERAFORTE Heavy Line, specially design for products above 800kVA. The gensets operate in stand by mode, feeding the machines responsible for the iron ore extraction. Each genset weights, aproximally, 12T.

In this project GERAFORTE was responsible for the gensets manfacturing, comissioning, training and start up on the client. The panel, besides having comand and synchronism functions, has certification for electrical and constructive characteristics according to NBR-60439.

Currently GERAFORTE is one of the best and largest manufacturers of generator sets in Brazil, operating not only in the manufacture of gensets but also in low and medium voltage energy solutions, worlshell and installation related to generator sets.

Generator Sets: 9 machines between 80kVA and 700kVA.
Equipment: IP23 enclosure 75dB(A) 1,5m.

The agribusiness, in 2021, reached the mark of 1,1 trillion reais (USD 200 billions), representing about 28% of the Brazillian GDP*. In the accumulated period from January to September, the sector advanced 10.80%, when compared to the same period in 2020. Currently, the segment employs more than 17 million Brazilians* throughout Brazil.

In this successful case, our machines were used in emergency mode to feed a grain storage plant. The generator sets operate in parallel, generating a total power of 1250kVA.

The technical delivery and start up was carried out by our own technicians. There was a check of the entire local infrastructure, tests of the machines with and without load, and the due training of the technicians indicated by the customer.

We guarantee the productivity of your business! We supply GERAFORTE generator sets, synonymous of safety and quality energy!

Generator Set: 1 x 375kVA gas single.
Equipment: gas genset with enclosure and customized logo.
Voltage: 208/120V.
Application: Continuous operation.

Our American client is located in Florida, USA, working in data analysis and security.

The exportation process included all the displacement of the generator set to the port, follow-up until arrival at the customer and machine start-up. 

The customer opted for the GERAFORTE gas line due to the existence of gas pipes in the company's warehouse, allowing for fuel savings, less pollutant generation and less noise (due to the lower compression ratio in the gas engine cylinders). 

For more information check our gas line page.

The design operates at 208/120V voltage at 60Hz. All electrical components are UL certified as requested by the customer. 

As customization, there is the construction of a panel for remote monitoring to be installed in the concierge. The remote control in concierge has the advantage of easy visualization of alarms, module reports, 24h access, among others. For more information check our remote control page.
