50 [MW] - Ikitelli City Hospital – Istanbul, Turkey

Installed power: 62.5 MVA (25 x 2,500 kVA)
Location: Istanbul (Turkey)
Client: Rönesans Holding and the Turkish Ministry of Health
Distributor: Yanmar Turkey
Generator model: 25 x HIMOINSA HTW-2295 T5 (Open Skid)

50 MW backup power for Ikitelli City Hospital

Istanbul is Turkey's largest city and one of Europe's largest metropolitan areas – with a population of over 15 million. Such a large concentration of people poses immense challenges for the healthcare system. In response to these needs, the Turkish Ministry of Health implemented a project for a new medical complex: the Ikitelli City Integrated Health Campus.

This is the third-largest public-private partnership (PPP) health investment in Turkey. The complex includes a main hospital, eight specialized hospital units, administrative and technical buildings, three helipads, and a trigeneration power plant, which also uses HIMOINSA generators. The total area of the complex exceeds 1 million m², and it can receive up to 60,000 patients and guests daily. It employs over 9,500 people.

Due to the seismic activity of the region, the facility is equipped with over 2,000 seismic isolators, making it the largest building in the world protected in this way.

Goal of the investment

To build a 50 MW emergency power plant for the needs of the hospital complex. The generators must feature instantaneous response to grid failures and the ability to operate both independently and synchronously – for any length of time, covering 100% of the demand.

The hospital is powered by two independent energy connections. In the event of the first one failing, the second is activated. If both fail, the HIMOINSA generators are started, taking over the entire load of the facility.

Applied solution

25 industrial HIMOINSA HTW-2295 T5 (open skid) generators, equipped with:

• engines with high mechanical resistance,
• enlarged cooling system (radiator),
• independent transformers,
• external fuel tanks providing high operational autonomy.

The generators are located in special rooms – two or three in each. The entire system operates in full synchronization with the power grid, ready to take over the power supply at any moment.

24 [MW] of backup power for Gaziantep City Hospital – Turkey

Location: Gaziantep, Şahinbey district, Turkey
Installed power: 24 MW
Installed generators:

• 12 x HIMOINSA HTW-2295 – Hospital Technical Center (TSB)
• 2 x HIMOINSA HTW-1030 – Regional Health Coordination Center (ISM)

Investor: Turkish Ministry of Health
Sector: healthcare – the hospital serves 45,000 patients daily, employs 6,000 staff

Reliable power for a critical hospital

The City Hospital in Gaziantep is one of the most important regional health care projects in Turkey. The center, with a built-up area of over 638,000 m², has 1,875 beds and provides medical care to the residents of Gaziantep and surrounding regions. During the construction of the facility, the region was hit by a tragic earthquake with a magnitude of 7.7, which delayed the opening of the hospital by six months, but also highlighted the importance of the investment and its reliability.

Project goal

HIMOINSA's goal was to ensure power continuity for the hospital infrastructure, even in the most extreme conditions. This required creating a comprehensive, flexible, and highly resilient backup power system, ready to:

• fully start up within 10 seconds,
• deliver 100% power within the next 20 seconds,
• operate in synchronization, with full redundancy in case of individual unit failure,
• stably handle sensitive medical equipment.

Additionally, the generators were installed inside the hospital buildings, which simplified their integration and maintenance and eliminated the need for external containers.

Special system configuration

The synchronization system for the set of 12 x HTW-2295 operates at the medium voltage level (0.4 kV / 34.5 kV) and was built based on PLC and HMI technologies. Its functions are:

• synchronization of generators with the load or the grid,
• automatic control of generator operation,
• fuel management,
• communication with the hospital's SCADA system via Modbus TCP-IP.

For the two HTW-1030 generators, a separate synchronization system was installed in low voltage (400V), operating on similar principles.

Applied technical solutions

Elements of the HIMOINSA system:

• Radiators adapted to operate in ambient temperatures up to +50°C
• Synchronization and control cabinets
• Fuel system:
  • 4 main underground tanks of 40 m³ each (for HTW-2295)
  • 1 elevated main tank of 11 m³ (for HTW-1030)
  • 15 daily fuel tanks of 1 m³ each
  • insulated fuel pipelines
• Industrial grade noise silencers
• Sound-absorbing cassettes on air inlets and outlets
• Seismic isolators
• Mechanical installations

Unique challenges – seismic risk and acoustic protection

Noise attenuation was one of the key aspects of this project. Advanced silencers and sound-absorbing cassettes were applied at the air inlets and outlets, which reduced the sound level to a minimum – the sound of the generators is practically inaudible outside the technical rooms.

Seismic isolators were designed to ensure the continuity of operation of the power system even during an earthquake. HIMOINSA generators are able to absorb vibrations, maintaining stability and functionality during seismic shocks – which is essential in a location with high geological risk like Gaziantep.

50°C radiators were used instead of the standard 40°C+ due to the specific climate of the region. Their size required them to be transported separately and installed directly on-site.

Thanks to HIMOINSA's advanced design, the Hospital in Gaziantep can operate reliably even in crisis situations. This solution confirms the company's ability to implement projects of strategic importance for health care – wherever uninterrupted power supply is a priority.

• 40’ containers with 100 mm rock wool insulation (145 kg/m³).
• Floors soundproofed with polyurethane foam.
• Ventilation with two electric fans.
• Fuel cooler increasing engine efficiency.
• Noise limited to 78 dBA from 1 meter – below the required limits.

Anti-corrosion protection:

• C5-M protective coating was applied, adapted to the humid climate and heavy rainfall in the UK.

Control and synchronization:

• Comap InteliGen systems for parallel operation.
• Fast Frequency Response to power demand.
• Readiness to take full load in a controlled and safe manner.

Temporary power for Africa's only helium production plant

The company Renergen, through its subsidiary Tetra4, launched the first installation in Sub-Saharan Africa for the production of liquid helium and LNG. The plant located in Virginia (South Africa) is the first onshore LNG installation in the country and one of only eight facilities in the world capable of exporting liquid helium.

Helium is a key component for, among others:

• the semiconductor and fiber optics industry,
• magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),
• the space industry – as the only approved pressure carrier for rocket fuel.

The gas extraction and liquefaction process requires an enormous amount of energy. During the plant's construction, there was no connection to the Eskom grid, so it was necessary to provide a temporary power source of 8 MW.

Project goal

• Providing independent 8 MW Prime Power for the LNG and helium plant
• Fast execution – commissioning the installation in just 3 weeks
• Ability to bill only for actual energy consumed
• Guaranteeing fuel efficiency and compliance with high HSE requirements

HIMOINSA Southern Africa Solution

Execution time:
HIMOINSA won the tender for an 8-month rental contract and completed commissioning in just 3 weeks from site preparation. Thanks to a fleet of units available locally, installation went quickly and without delays.

Technical installation:

• 8 synchronized generators with Yanmar, MTU, and Iveco engines
• Fuel tanks and pipeline installation
• 11kV transformer and control systems
• Operation in full HSE regime – 3 HIMOINSA technicians present on site 24/7 on a rotary shift basis
• 200 kVA unit to provide power during construction

Resistance to loads:
The system was designed to handle large step-loads related to compressor operation, without interrupting the production process.

Efficiency and predictable costs

Billing model:
HIMOINSA proposed a two-tier tariff model:

1. Fixed fee for installed capacity (covering fixed costs),
2. Variable operational costs – only for actual generated kWh.

Thanks to this, Renergen could start the installation earlier without having to bear full energy costs before production began.

Fuel efficiency:
HIMOINSA generators with efficiency at the "best-in-class" level. The company provided additional cost guarantees – with financial penalties for exceeding fuel consumption thresholds.

HIMOINSA Support and Flexibility

"The HIMOINSA team provided us with reliable support from day one up to project completion. They were fully responsive to our changing needs and helped us maintain the schedule for customers."
— Nick Mitchell, COO, Renergen

"It is a huge satisfaction to be able to support the first liquid helium plant in Africa. We provided a temporary, flexible, and quality power solution. Congratulations to the Renergen team for smooth execution."
— Matthew Bell, Development Director, HIMOINSA Southern Africa

This project shows how HIMOINSA temporary power can ensure stability, cost control, and reliability – even in the case of demanding large-scale industrial installations.
