Key benefits for your organization
Versatile Test Rigs
Our test rigs provide specialized test stations for generator units up to 3,000 kWel, as well as custom test stations for a variety of applications, which can be operated separately and are available on short notice.
Comprehensive Testing Capabilities
In addition to standard tests, you can perform specialized test runs, including performance tests with medium voltage generator units, island and grid parallel operation, as well as outdoor tests for complete container units.
State-of-the-Art Technology and Precise Documentation
Our test rigs are equipped with water swirl brakes and modern measuring devices, ensuring precise performance tests up to 4,300 kW mechanical power and data recording. All tests are documented with calibrated equipment and meet the requirements of DNV GL, TÜV, and other testing organizations.
Fast Availability and Flexible Capacities
Independently usable test stations and high power ranges ensure timely testing capacities, tailored to your needs – from individual tests to multiple parallel modules with up to 6,000 kWel total power.
Expert Knowledge and Comprehensive Support
Our experienced test rig team supports you every step of the way – from planning to execution, as well as documentation and analysis of the test runs. Short-term adjustments and optimizations are also possible to ensure your projects run efficiently and successfully.

Your Partner for All Testing Tasks: Our Service Portfolio
Carry out your performance tests on our advanced test benches. With cutting-edge technology, we offer all necessary test runs – mechanical and electrical.

Test Stations for Generator Units
Our test platforms for generator sets enable testing of generators with up to 3,000 kWel output. The units are tested under real-world conditions. Through accurate measurements and in-depth analysis, we guarantee the optimal performance and reliability of the generators.
Stand-Alone Parallel Operation for up to Three Modules
Our service enables island parallel operation of up to three modules with a total capacity of up to 6,000 kWel, allowing for flexible testing of different engine configurations and systems. We can simulate various operating conditions and assess engine performance under different load scenarios.
Test Runs
Our test runs include various load scenarios with a power factor cos φ ranging from 0.8 inductive to 1. By conducting test runs with different power factors, we can simulate actual operations and test the engines under realistic conditions.
Nominal Voltage
We can test generators with nominal voltages of 400/690 V and frequencies of 50/60 Hz. This ensures that the machines meet the specified electrical requirements and operate reliably under the common operating conditions of 50 or 60 Hz.
