The TwinPower™ concept

The QAC TwinPower is a 20 ft. ISO containerised unit housing two compact generators; This configuration, with its fast-paralleling system, allows the two generators to work independently or in parallel with each other , providing multiple solutions and combinations between prime and standby use.

Load acceptance

The QAC TwinPower is able to accept more than 70% load step acceptance or even more than 1MVA within ISO8528 G3 class in an ISO 20 Dry container thanks to the two engine/alternator performance associated with the advanced control system (Qc4003) You can also be assured the QAC TwinPower performance is equal or better than conventional single engine generator running under normal load.

Excellent Performance

Designed for excellent cooling of the engine/alternator, guaranteeing maximum power with no de-rating up to 50°C at an altitude of 500 m. This makes the generator ideal for use in extreme temperatures and at high altitudes, with reduced risk of performance loss due to high temperatures.

Reduced operational costs

The standard service interval on standard working conditions is 500 hours. Moreover, thanks to the Parallel management system (PMS), 1 of the generators ca be stopped according to load, extending the service time. In addition TwinPower concept is using less oil and less consumables than typical single engine solutions

Serviceability

top view
The QAC TwinPower™ is designed for easy service. Large access doors and custom service tools make for effortless maintenance and assured uptime. The positioning of the engine and alternator is set on opposite sides. Enabling multiple access points to all the main components.

24/7 power availability

The service requirement is less than 2 hours of maintenance for every 500 hours of operation. Due to the TwinPower™ concept, it is possible to still benefit from 50% of the unit’s total capacity during maintenance operations.

Standard parallel package

controller
To tackle even bigger jobs, the QAC TwinPowerTM has two dedicated Atlas Copco controllers, including touchscreen functionality, so you can easily parallel with other generators. You have the choice of island mode or PMS (Power Management System). Each generator can run in parallel with mains, peak shaving, mains power export/import, fixed power and AMF (Automatic Mains Failure).
