A total of 6 high-power generator sets are deployed for the ICA Building in Kallang, Singapore, including 4 units of 2000kVA gensets powered by Yuchai YC16VTD2700-D30 engines and 2 units of 1500kVA gensets powered by Yuchai YC12VTD2000-D30 engines. The total installed capacity reaches 11,000kVA. Serving as critical emergency backup power for this government immigration service building, these gensets adopt Yuchai self-developed YC16VTD2700-D30 and YC12VTD2000-D30 V-type turbocharged diesel engines. Featuring fast startup response, stable power output, excellent fuel economy and strong adaptability to hot-humid tropical environments, the units guarantee safe, continuous and reliable power supply for identity verification systems, biometric clearance equipment, server rooms, office loads, access control and fire protection systems, supporting stable daily operation of Singapore's immigration and checkpoint authority service premises.
1. Background
Government immigration service buildings belong to high-security public infrastructure with stringent power continuity requirements. The ICA Building in Kallang provides passport application, identity registration, immigration clearance and other core public services, running heavy-duty IT servers, biometric recognition systems, data storage equipment and 24-hour security monitoring systems. Any unexpected grid outage or power fluctuation may cause interruption of counter services, data loss, failure of automated immigration clearance channels and severe public service impact. To eliminate safety risks triggered by mains power failure and meet strict emergency power redundancy standards for Singapore government buildings, the ICA Kallang project adopts Yuchai high-power generator sets. With reliable starting performance and stable power delivery, the gensets can rapidly take over critical loads once the utility power fails, protect core data and public service facilities, and ensure uninterrupted immigration services throughout operating hours.
2. Why Yuchai 2000kVA & 1500kVA Generator Sets
The 2000kVA and 1500kVA generator sets are equipped with Yuchai independently developed YC16VTD2700-D30 and YC12VTD2000-D30 V-type high-power turbocharged diesel engines, specially optimized for tropical high-temperature, high-humidity standby working conditions of Singapore government buildings. These engines adopt mature industrial-grade design, high-pressure common-rail fuel injection and four-valve technology, featuring compact layout, high power density, outstanding fuel efficiency and long service life, with core technical indicators reaching world-class level. The complete genset solution supports modular installation and quick on-site commissioning, delivers fast startup response and strong anti-overload capacity, and satisfies local noise control and emission requirements in Singapore. The mixed configuration of 4 × 2000kVA plus 2 × 1500kVA realizes flexible load scheduling, optimizes the building's emergency power distribution scheme, cuts long-term operation and maintenance expenditure, and effectively prevents public service breakdown caused by sudden mains power interruption.
3. Key Technical Specifications
Equipment: 4 sets of 2000kVA + 2 sets of 1500kVA high-power diesel generator sets Supporting Engine Model:

4. Operational Value After Commissioning
The commissioning of these 6 units builds a high-reliability redundant emergency power protection system for the Kallang ICA Building, greatly improving the power supply safety level and risk resistance capability of this key government facility. In the event of municipal grid failure, the generator sets can start rapidly, run in parallel and supply stable power for server rooms, biometric immigration equipment, service counters, fire alarm, access control and security monitoring systems, avoiding service suspension and data security incidents caused by blackout. The standardized packaged genset solution shortens project commissioning cycles and reduces overall construction investment. Benefiting from the high reliability and low-maintenance advantages of YC16VTD2700-D30 and YC12VTD2000-D30 engines, the units can maintain long-term stable standby operation. This project safeguards continuous and secure operation of Singapore's immigration public services and further strengthens Yuchai's brand competitiveness in the high-power backup genset market for government and public buildings in Southeast Asia.
