Power Supply Project for Lom Pangar Hydropower Station, Cameroon

PAUWAY supplied PWY688 diesel generator sets for the construction and operation of Lom Pangar Hydropower Station project in Cameroon, delivering reliable emergency and temporary power support for the hydropower project’s construction equipment, control systems and safety protection facilities.

Project Background & Tender Award

Lom Pangar Hydropower Station is a key water conservancy and energy infrastructure project in Cameroon. During construction and daily operation, the project requires stable standby power to cope with sudden grid outages, ensuring the normal operation of flood control monitoring, gate control, construction machinery and on-site auxiliary systems to avoid engineering safety risks.

Core Technology & Equipment Configuration

Generating Units

The project adopts PWY688 diesel generator sets independently developed by PAUWAY. The units feature stable power output, fast startup response and outstanding load capacity, fully meeting the emergency power demand of hydropower station control equipment and construction loads.

Project Positioning

Special temporary & emergency backup power system for Lom Pangar Hydropower Station, providing continuous power guarantee for flood discharge gates, monitoring systems and construction equipment in case of mains power failure.

Equipment Features

• Rapid automatic startup, realizing fast switching of emergency power supply for hydropower safety loads
• Stable voltage and frequency output, protecting precision hydraulic control and monitoring instruments
• Optimized moisture-proof and anti-corrosion design to adapt to humid tropical riverside environment

Project Significance & Challenges

Project Value

The generator sets provide solid power safety guarantee for the construction and long-term operation of Lom Pangar Hydropower Station, effectively preventing safety accidents caused by power interruption and supporting the stable supply of local hydropower resources.

Execution Challenges

Completed long-distance cross-border transportation and on-site joint debugging with hydropower control system, and upgraded unit protection structure to resist high humidity and corrosive riverside working conditions.
