Customised Containerised Power Systems: What Buyers Should Expect From a Power Solution Manufacturer

A containerised power system is rarely bought off the shelf. Buyers specify the engine brand their service teams know, the voltage their network uses, the coating their climate demands, the fire protection their insurers require and, increasingly, battery storage or EV charging alongside generation. MPMC builds containerised generator sets, battery storage systems, hybrid power stations and mobile BESS chargers on a common platform, with customisation as a core strength of its Haimen smart factory.

What Can Be Customised

Generation

Single-engine containers run from 800 kVA to 3,750 kVA, two-engine units from 1,250 kVA to 3,000 kVA and four-engine Scania units at 1,600 kVA. Engines include Cummins, Perkins, Baudouin, MTU, Scania, SME, Volvo and SDEC, with Stamford or Leroy-Somer alternators, and fuels include diesel, natural gas, methanol and biofuel at B35 and above. MPMC also offers the Twins Power MPME2700S-2-SC twin-engine diesel generator set, a containerised silent unit with two Perkins 5012C-E46TAG6 engines and two Mecc Alte ECO46HV-2L/4 alternators that delivers 2,702 kW / 3,377.5 kVA prime at 13.8 kV, and it can be delivered together with containerised commercial and industrial battery storage.

Natural gas units reach electrical efficiency of 38% or more and total energy utilisation of 80% or more with heat recovery, and the 400 kVA methanol generator set is rated at 75 dB(A) at 1 m with a DEIF AGC150 controller.

Electrical Configuration

Output can be low voltage or high voltage, including 6 kV and 11 kV on the MCLS2000H(S)-1, at 50 Hz or 60 Hz. Switchgear options include ABB or Schneider motorised circuit breakers, SF6 gas-insulated vacuum circuit breakers and neutral grounding resistors, with DSE or DEIF AGC controllers for parallel operation and N+X redundancy.

Parallel systems can be configured for island mode with black-start capability, or for operation in parallel with the mains for peak shaving and backup, as on MPMC’s 4.2 MW factory expansion in the UAE.

Environment and Safety

Containers can be specified with C3, C4 or C5 coating, copper radiators for 50°C ambient, super-silent SC enclosures, anti-condensation heaters, RTD monitoring and engine block preheaters. For oilfield work, MPMC has delivered dual-start systems with air start as primary and electric start as backup, and 2 x 45 kg CO2 automatic fire suppression.

Beyond Generation: Storage and Charging Containers

The same containerised approach covers battery energy storage, hybrid power and mobile charging. HBD-A storage scales from 125 kW to 1,125 kW per unit in liquid-cooled containers, and the HBD-1000-2000A units delivered to Europe use full-weld 20HQ containers with reinforced lifting points, C4 coating, aerogel insulation and IP55 protection. The BCH-500-1000 mobile BESS charger comes in 20-foot container format with 500 kW of DC charging, and storage, generation and charging can all be coordinated through one EMS.

Customised hybrid systems combine these containers: in Dubai, each of ten batching stations pairs an HBD-500-1000 with three 500 kVA gensets under a three-phase EMS, cutting OPEX by about 20%.

Every project follows design consultation, product customisation, CNAS-accredited factory testing from 0% to 110% load, logistics and commissioning support. Distributors can access OEM customisation and private-label arrangements, and lead times for customised products are confirmed for each order.

MPMC’s Haimen smart factory, with end-to-end CNC, fabrication and testing and CRM, ERP, PLM and MES systems, supports high-consistency OEM production, while its Yangzhong base produces containerised storage and hybrid systems on automated lines.
