FG Wilson Supplies Over 30 Generator Sets to Safeguard Power Security for Air Traffic Control at Abu Dhabi International Airport
As a premier global provider of supporting services for diesel Generator Sets, Wilson has dedicated years to specializing in power assurance for aviation infrastructure. Leveraging generator performance adaptable to all operating conditions, mature solutions for parallel synchronization and collaborative control, and robust capabilities for one-stop delivery and maintenance at overseas sites, Wilson has successfully executed benchmark power support projects for key aviation hubs in the Middle East. In doing so, the company has established a reliable power safeguard for the comprehensive, routine operations—as well as the ongoing renovation and expansion projects—at Abu Dhabi International Airport in the UAE.
Focusing specifically on core air traffic control and dedicated support sectors for major airlines, Wilson has strategically deployed a tiered matrix of generator sets, specifically supplying nearly two dozen high-standard diesel generators ranging from 800 to 2000 kVA. These units have been strategically allocated to three critical core areas: the dedicated maintenance and operations facility for Amiri Flight (the exclusive VVIP airline of the Qatari Royal Family), comprehensive logistics support facilities for Etihad Airways (the UAE’s second-largest major carrier), and the central air traffic control command hub at Abu Dhabi Airport.
Concurrently supporting the airport's priority infrastructure upgrade initiatives—specifically the recent large-scale runway expansion and the capacity augmentation of various functional zones across the airport complex—Wilson’s dedicated technical delivery team deployed to the forefront. Through precise on-site surveys of operating conditions, they designed and delivered a customized, comprehensive power solution featuring integrated, collaborative operation.
The on-site implementation involved the deployment of five 2000 kVA high-voltage diesel generator sets equipped with fully automated, intelligent parallel synchronization systems. These units were networked in combination with seven high-power 1750 kVA low-voltage diesel generator sets to operate collaboratively as a unified system.
The complete system enables millisecond-level automatic synchronization and start-stop sequencing across multiple units, intelligent load balancing, and unmanned remote monitoring and maintenance. Throughout the entire process—from installation to operation—the project maintained a record of zero hidden safety hazards regarding power maintenance and zero power supply interruptions during construction, thereby efficiently facilitating the high-quality and accelerated implementation of infrastructure upgrades at this major aviation hub.
