Emergency Generation:

RI has provided the planning and design of emergency generation and distribution systems ranging from 15 kilo-volts (kV) to 600 volts for industrial, commercial, and institutional applications. 

RI has successfully completed two projects each installing 7.2 mega-watts (MW) of on-site generation installed in a central generation plant.  In each case, the primary function of the generators was to provide a standby emergency power source.  For a minimal additional cost to the owner, RI configured the generators to perform peak shaving operations with the existing campus electric loads. 

The peak shaving operation of the generators is completely seamless to the overall operation of the campus as well as the surrounding area.  The new generators were equipped with sound attenuation devices and designed to operate within the clients existing EPA emissions permits. 

The end result provides the owner with an emergency generation system providing a 5 year payback.
