Emergency Standby Power for Leading University Research Facility

Genelite Supplies 550kVA Diesel Generator with 24-Hour Runtime & Custom Exhaust System

When critical research depends on uninterrupted power, there’s no room for compromise. Genelite was recently engaged to supply a high-capacity emergency standby generator system to a major Queensland university, ensuring continuous protection for one of the institution’s leading research facilities.

The installation features a 550kVA GLG500C diesel generator, housed in a silenced canopy for minimal acoustic impact on surrounding operations. Designed for seamless integration into the university’s energy infrastructure, this unit provides reliable emergency power in the event of mains failure, safeguarding sensitive equipment, environmental controls, and years of irreplaceable research data.

Scope of Supply

The full solution provided by Genelite includes:

• ✅ 550kVA Silenced Canopy Generator
• ✅ 24-Hour Integrated Fuel Storage
• ✅ Custom-Designed Exhaust System for facility compatibility

Each component was selected to meet both the operational demands and compliance requirements of a highly technical academic environment. The inclusion of a 24-hour fuel tank base ensures the unit can sustain extended outages without refueling, while the custom exhaust system was engineered specifically for the site’s acoustic and environmental conditions.

Reliability Where It Counts

Emergency backup systems for research environments must perform flawlessly, often without warning. That’s why Genelite’s generators are built using world-renowned engines, proven alternators, and backed by local service and support.

From design through to commissioning, Genelite worked closely with the project stakeholders to deliver a tailored solution that met their exact needs.
