Diesel Generators Company Ltd has secured a contract for the supply of 18 P2000 and four P250H generator sets.
The generator sets will be used to supply power to a water pump plant as part of a major irrigation project in Sudan.
The installation of the generator sets included 18 Woodward GCP31 set mounted control panels to manage the load sharing of the installation. An innovative solution to cool the generator sets was introduced by pumping water from the Nile through a heat exchanger into a reservoir, filtered and then drawn through the generator set by an electric pump. The area to be irrigated with the two pump stations is nearly 50 acres.
Diesel Generators Company Ltd was established in Khartoum in 1998. Three further offices have since been opened up throughout the city including one with a dedicated parts warehouse and training facilities. Diesel Generators Company Ltd provides FG Wilson standard product and are specialists in the field of power solutions.
By successfully delivering a high quality service with a reliable product, they have become a preferred supplier of diesel generator sets.

GE Energy and Swedish wind developer Arise Windpower AB today announced that GE’s most advanced ecomagination-certified wind turbine technology will make its Nordic debut in Sweden, a country with the highest renewable energy target in the European Union. The move further enhances GE’s global expansion of its 2.5xl wind turbine platform.
GE will supply a total of 57 2.5xl wind turbines to Arise Windpower. The first five wind turbines are already on order and will be installed at the Brunsmo project near Karlskrona in southern Sweden.
GE Chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt and Arise Windpower Chairman Pehr G. Gyllenhammar officially signed a memorandum of understanding for the frame agreement that includes the remaining 52 wind turbines. GE is part of Arise Windpower’s strategy to have 300 large-scale wind turbines in operation by 2014. According to Arise Windpower, the turbines will produce two terawatthours of electricity annually—an amount that is equal to today’s total wind power production in Sweden.
The Karlskrona-Brunsmo project and the frame agreement support Sweden’s goal to have 50% of its energy coming from renewable sources by the year 2020. To achieve this goal, Sweden must increase its supply of renewable energy by about 10% over the next 11 years.
While this project marks the debut of GE’s 2.5xl wind turbines in the Nordic region, more than 100 of the 2.5-MW machines already have been installed across Europe and have compiled more than one million operating hours. In addition, GE has received more than one gigawatt of commitments over the next year and a half to provide 2.5xl wind turbines for projects across Europe.

Siemens Energy and TNO, the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research, have signed an exclusive cooperation agreement aimed at the further advancement of amino-acid salt-based carbon capture technology. Carbon capture technologies in the eco-friendly utilization of fossil-fueled power plants will play a significant role in the future. The partnership targets faster time to market for this promising second-generation technology and the implementation of a full-scale demonstration plant by 2014.
Both Siemens and TNO possess comprehensive know-how in the field of CO2 capture. Siemens is developing a proprietary second- generation amino-acid process for CO2 capture in the industrial park Frankfurt Hoechst. TNO has been performing its own research activities in this field since the nineties. Both partners see major potential for full-scale application in eco-friendly solvents based on amino-acid salt. Under the terms of the agreement, know-how and experience in this area are now to be bundled in order to leverage synergies and better utilize common resources. The process is to be further optimized with respect to power demand, and the associated costs reduced.
The technology for CO2 capture from the flue gas of power plants is an important feature of the Siemens environmental portfolio. In 2008, revenue from the products and solutions of Siemens environmental portfolio was nearly EUR19 billion, which is equivalent to around a quarter of Siemens total revenue.
