Diesel generators arrive for Masirah power plant

MUSCAT: Well-known Omani logistics firms Muscat International Shipping & Logistics has announced the successful delivery of diesel generators for the Masirah Oman power plant.
The cargo, comprising seven Wärtsilä generator sets, weighed 140 tons apiece and measured 13 metrers long, 3.7 metres wide and 4.4 metres high. Once the generators were discharged from the vessel at Masirah, the logistics firms moved them into a port storage area. When it was time to move them to the jobsite, the company loaded the generators onto multi-axle trailers for transport.

At the plant, Muscat International unloaded the cargo, moved it to the foundation and installed them using a jacking and skidding operation. The company also handled the transport of auxiliaries for the generators from Duqm Port to the Masirah site, including ferry transportation from Shannah to Masirah.

The 56-megawatt Masirah power plant will supply electricity to rural areas in southeastern Oman, outside the national grid. The power station will operate in extreme conditions of up to 52 Celsius degrees (125º F), Wärtsilä said in a statement. The project will be completed in 2016.

Tips: How to choose a generator for back-up power, other needs

whether you like to hibernate all winter or you enjoy hitting the slopes, don't forget to be prepared for power outages, especially this year, as the "Old Farmer's Almanac," known for accurately forecasting weather since 1792, is calling for the "worst winter in years."

Last winter, hundreds of thousands of homeowners learned the hard way about the importance of having immediate back-up power. And, as more people work from home, power outages become more than an inconvenience, but an economic impediment as well.

In addition to weather related outages, the electrical grid has been plagued by more and worseblackouts in recent years, due to aging wires, pole transformers and other lagging infrastructure. In fact, non-disaster-related outages affected at least 50,000 consumers last year. This, coupled with increasingly volatile weather patterns and an increasing reliance on technology, create a perfect storm for outages.
To mitigate the inconvenience, cost and danger of inevitable power outages, it's becoming increasingly important that every homeowner consider a backup generator. Don't be intimidated by the prospect of purchasing and using one. With a bit of understanding and research, you can find an easy-to-operate unit that is right for you home.
Here are some things to consider when seeking out a generator:
•Know your needs. What devices you will need to power in the event of an outage? List running watts and starting watts for each device, and add them together to determine your total wattage requirements. Additionally, determine which type of fuel you prefer and what your primary use will be.
For example, generators are not just handy for home emergencies; they can also be useful on camping trips, for tailgating before the game or for the job site. If you plan to use your generator on trips, ease of portability and flexibility is important.
•Quality. Above all, a generator should offer durability, reliability, performance and security. Some things to consider: price points, ease of mobility, and sound level.
•Ease of operation. Features such as a pull cord, electric and/or remote start, and durable tires for portability can make using a generator easy for anybody.
•Don't wait. You never know when you might need a generator. And an emergency situation is not the right time to do your research and find one.

Protecting your home, family and home business from power outages is crucial. Consider outfitting your home with a backup generator to stay comfortable, safe and connected no matter what.
