Advanced Power builds a complete range of stationary generating sets ideal for continuous use in prime power applications such as mining and tourist resort applications and for standby use in hospitals, commercial and high-rise buildings, computer centres, banks, hotels and many utilities.

This range covers sets from 4 kVA to 2500 kVA and output ranging from 200 to 11,000 volts.

Advanced Power only offers equipment which has been proven and can offer mass-produced packages using engines and alternators from Caterpillar, Cummins, Perkins, Leroy Somer and Stamford which are similar to many sets both worldwide and in Australia which have given reliable, economical service. We are also able to purpose-build sets using any of the above equipment makes as well as MTU, Detroit Diesel, Volvo, AvK, Marathon, Mecc Alte and other proven equipment manufacturers.

Advanced Power manufactures its own range of microprocessor- and PLC-based control systems which can incorporate an automatic mains failure controller and digital meters to monitor amps, volts, frequency, kilowatts and power factor for alternator output. Additional digital meters indicate engine oil pressure, engine water temperature and battery voltage. The company has its own certified laboratory to calibrate these meters.

Advanced Power offers a wealth of experience gathered from many years in the field of Diesel Power Generation. Along with Sydney land marks such as Darling Park, Fort Denison and No 1 Martin Place, Advanced Power has installed standby power systems in many varied applications such as hospitals, hotels and public utilities including the Prince of Wales Hospital, the ANA Hotel and Darling Harbour Novotel, the Sydney Harbour Tunnel, Newtown Telephone Exchange, Kingsford Smith Sydney Airport, Port Kembla Copper Works and the recently completed Citibank Tower.

Other notable installations include 4 off 2250 kVA in Governor Phillip Tower, 5 off 1650 kVA in Chifley Tower and several others where synchronised operation with the main supply is required. These include Malabar and Bondi Sewerage Treatment Plants, Callide Power Station and Kenmare Mine.

Mobile Diesel Generating Sets have been built by Advanced Power for the Illawarra County Council, ACTU Electricity Commission and the Tasmanian Hydro Electricity Commission. These were totally enclosed units, mounted on truck chassis and complete with all automatic controls for synchronising with the main supply. Operator safety, a compact, lightweight design and low noise output were major considerations with these units.

For continued Product Support Advanced Power has a Field Service team to carry out its recommended Preventative Maintenance Programs and respond to emergencies 24 hours per day. Free quotations are available for Preventative Maintenance Programs in the Sydney metropolitan area.
