HIMOINSA, a manufacturer of Power Technology Solutions that designs and produces generator sets, battery storage systems, automatic transfer switches, monitoring controls and accessories, for backup and continuous power supply, has has signed a strategic agreement with Peak Gen Power Ltd. to deliver 10 units of the HGY Series generators for a critical mission project in the United Kingdom.

The agreement entails a total of 20 MW of power that will supply energy exclusively using HVO fuel. The plant will ensure a reliable supply for UK costumers, helping to provide carbon free power at times of national need, as well as services to the GB National Energy System Operator.

“We are delighted to sign this agreement, as we see HIMOINSA as a strategic partner for critical mission energy supply. We’ve already collaborated successfully on other projects, and trust their technological capabilities. The opportunity to utilize the competitive advantages of the HGY Series, with the new Yanmar engine, is very exciting and it truly represents a step forward for everyone. We’ve already started developing the project and expect to successfully commission it next summer,” said Ian Graves, Chief Executive Officer at Peak Gen Top Co Ltd.

The agreement with Peak Gen, involves HIMOINSA delivering ten units of the HGY-2600 D5 model, equipped with the 12GY175 engine. All units comply with DEFRA regulations, emitting less than 190 mg/Nm³ of NOx, thanks to an advanced post-treatment gas system, and will operate on HVO100 fuel.

“This capacity market project will help us to create something truly important for the UK’s renewable infrastructure for many years to come. The power plant will be one of the first in the country to use exclusively HVO fuel. Peak Gen’s commitment strengthens our confidence in the HGY Series as a reliable solution for critical mission applications and sustainable energy solutions,” said Ian Graves.

The power plant, located in Peterborough (England), will be monitored 24/7 with constant supervision to ensure optimal performance and maximum security. The ten generators will be synchronized and will supply power in less than 30 seconds from the start signal. The units will be delivered in soundproofed versions, in ISO 40ft containers, and will replace the current generators operating at the plant with the aim of ensuring a more sustainable energy solution, in terms of emission reductions, and state-of-the-art technology.

This project not only represents a significant advancement for Peak Gen´s operations but also for HIMOINSA, as it marks the company’s first project with the HGY Series in the United Kingdom. HIMOINSA has already supplied equipment for the UK’s capacity market, both diesel and gas generators, but this is the company’s debut in the market with its Yanmar engine. “We are confident that we are providing a complete solution for our client. Equipment designed with the latest technology, ensuring low emissions and maximum performance. Without a doubt, one of the most competitive solutions currently available in the critical mission energy generation sector,” explained Clive Dix, Managing Director of HIMOINSA Power Solutions.

It’s worth noting that HIMOINSA recently introduced its new HGY Series, generators up to 3500 kVA with Yanmar engines, capable of reaching 4MW in future developments. This new series of generators features the latest technology and is prepared to run on alternative fuels such as HVO, and potentially gas and hydrogen in the future.

The development of the new Yanmar GY175L engine family includes 12- and 16-cylinder models, with future plans to develop 20-cylinder engines. These engines feature electronic control and a common rail injection system. They combine the unique combustion technology of high-speed engines with the reliability of low-speed engines, ensuring high performance and efficiency. This competitive and innovative engine technology is compatible with extreme operating conditions, offers a reduced carbon footprint, multiple fuel options, and low emissions.
