A total of 8 sets of 2000kW generator sets driven by Yuchai YC16VC3300-D31 engines are deployed for the Borneo Alumindo Prima project in Kalimantan, Indonesia. The total installed capacity reaches 16MW. These high-power gensets act as critical emergency backup power equipment for the alumina manufacturing plant. Adopting Yuchai self-developed high-power YC16VC3300-D31 diesel engine, the generator sets boast excellent power performance, high operational stability and strong environmental adaptability. They can effectively guarantee continuous and reliable power supply for core production loads and support the safe, long‑term stable operation of precision manufacturing facilities in the alumina factory.
1.Background
Alumina production belongs to heavy continuous process manufacturing. Borneo Alumindo Prima plant in Kalimantan operates large-scale continuous production lines and smelting equipment, which impose extremely stringent standards for power supply stability, continuity and emergency backup capability. The alumina production process runs non-stop. Unexpected municipal grid fluctuations or sudden power outages will directly lead to production interruption, waste of raw materials, heavy economic losses, and even potential damage to high-value smelting and automation equipment. To eliminate risks caused by power interruption and satisfy the strict power redundancy requirements of alumina production workshops, this Borneo Alumindo Prima project adopts 2000kW high-power generator sets powered by Yuchai YC16VC3300-D31 engines. With reliable starting performance and stable power output, the gensets can respond rapidly to mains power failures, maintain uninterrupted power supply for key alumina manufacturing equipment, and underpin the stable and continuous production of the factory.
2.Why Yuchai 2000kW Generator Sets
Equipped with Yuchai independently‑developed high-power YC16VC3300-D31 V-type turbocharged diesel engine, the 2000kW generator sets are tailor‑made for high‑reliability backup‑power scenarios for alumina manufacturing plants. The supporting Yuchai engine features compact structure, high power density, outstanding fuel economy and solid durability, with key technical indicators reaching world‑class advanced level. The complete unit design enables fast on‑site installation and commissioning, well adapting to the tropical operating environment of Kalimantan, Indonesia. Featuring quick startup response, strong overload resistance and ultra‑stable power output, the units deliver consistent and trustworthy emergency power support. High single‑unit power rating helps optimize the overall power system architecture, cut down equipment footprint and lower long‑term operation and maintenance costs. The 8‑unit configuration fully meets high‑standard power redundancy and continuous‑operation requirements for alumina production workshops, effectively avoiding huge losses triggered by unexpected power failures.
