Emergency Generator Control & SCADA Upgrade for PAGNI Hospital

Upgrade of the emergency diesel generator control and monitoring system at PAGNI Hospital, designed to improve the reliability, stability and operational visibility of critical hospital backup power.

The project addressed operational issues in the existing emergency power system, including unreliable generator start-up behaviour, poor voltage and frequency control, lack of load sharing capability, obsolete analogue control cards, limited alarm monitoring and absence of data recording for incident investigation.

MAS delivered a technology-edge emergency generator control architecture integrating advanced diesel generator controllers, PLC-based automation, load management functionality and HMI/SCADA monitoring. The upgraded system supports more reliable backup power operation, improved electrical system supervision and future expansion of the hospital’s emergency generation capacity.

Key Outcomes

  • Improved reliability and availability of the emergency diesel generator system
  • Enhanced voltage and frequency control for stable backup power operation
  • Enabled generator load sharing and future diesel generator expansion
  • Improved overload protection through automated sub-load rejection
  • Added HMI/SCADA monitoring, alarm visibility and event recording

Technical Capabilities Demonstrated

MAS delivered emergency diesel generator system upgrades for critical infrastructure environments and hospital backup power systems, where backup power reliability, fast response and operational visibility depend on coordinated control architecture. The scope included a complete generator control system upgrade, integrating Woodward diesel generator controllers, PLC automation, emergency bus transition control, generator load sharing, voltage and frequency control, sub-load rejection and load shedding within a unified emergency power management architecture.

MAS also delivered high-accuracy network analysers, HMI/SCADA monitoring, alarm annunciation, data logging, Modbus communication, remote monitoring, secure access levels and commissioning, supporting the lifecycle-oriented modernisation of obsolete analogue generator control systems.
