Leading the market with HHP engines

To lead the market, Baudouin developed a comprehensive range of high horsepower (HHP) engines with the PowerKit M33 and M55 platforms that span 1150-4125 kVA. Robust and reliable, the M55 series utilizes premium engineering for exceptional performance, thanks to Baudouin’s unique technologies. It also offers the highest power density in its class, through highly efficient combustion and high-pressure ratio turbochargers.

Overall, these Baudouin PowerKit engines provide exceptional cost efficiency, with extended mean time between overhauls (MTBO). The high-horsepower engines also offer variable duty cycle capabilities and high transient block load capabilities, for uninterrupted power in critical protection situations.

Both the M33 and M55 PowerKit series deliver further cost efficiencies, with best-in-class fuel consumption and are designed with a high tolerance to varying fuel quality.
