HIMOINSA, 4 MW of emergency power for Norway´s Ålesund Hospital

Norway's healthcare system is one of the most advanced and least congested in Europe. Ålesund hospital, which provides healthcare coverage for a population of some 50,000 people, has installed three HIMOINSA HTW 1530 T5 generator sets to cover its emergency power requirements and to ensure a supply of critical power in the event of a grid outage.

This hospital is located in the city of Ålesund, on Norway's west coast. As the city is built on a number of islands and subject to adverse weather conditions, the project's design and development have had to take these environmental requirements into consideration.Ålesund hospital, at location Åsehaugen, was first opened in 1971 and already had a number of emergency generator sets, hence the objective was to replace them with new HIMOINSA models housed in a soundproofed room in order to reduce sound levels to the maximum.

Taking all these requirements into account, three HIMOINSA generators have been installed, guaranteeing a total of 4MW of power in what is a mission critical project designed to ensure operational continuity in all areas of the hospital in the event of a grid outage.

One of the project's major challenges was to undertake the installation of the generator sets with the new 400V and 230V distribution systems in phases, ensuring that the hospital was fully operational at all times.
