Nuclear power emergency diesel generator set solution

MTU EDGs for nuclear power plants are based on MTU Series 956/4000 or Bergen B32:40 16V engines covering a power range between 1500 kWe and 8000 kWe.

MTU all EDG projects are organized and implemented in line with NPP-related quality standards such as IAEA 50-C-Q, KTA 1401 and the Chinese standard HAF. MTU EDGs are safety-classified to meet the strictest regulations in the nuclear power industry, with qualifications in line with IEEE 387 and KTA 3702, for example. In addition, MTU NPP-specific digital engine controller – SafeDEC – is qualified to comply with IEC 60880 standards.
