Engine generators outward appearance

These are internal combustion engines that use the biogas for fuel and are linked to alternating current generators. A total of 12 engine generators have been installed, in soundproof containers, with a total electric power generation capacity of 12,576 KW.

Bearing in mind the changes in biogas generation over time, the generating system has a modular layout with 12 pieces of equipment fitted with safety and adjustment systems enabling fully automatic operation and supplying the network with electric energy.

The plant provides the network with approximately 100 million kWh by the end of the year, which is equivalent to the energy consumed in a year by all the public lighting in Barcelona city (street, artistic, tunnel and ring-road lighting) by the more than 150,000 lights installed.
