Cummins Power, an integral element of the power mix

-

Cummins Generators serve as robust standalone power solutions and play an essential role in microgrid systems. A microgrid constitute­s a local energy system capable of generating, potentiall­y storing, and distributi­ng energy to facilities within its network. Cummins’ solutions seamlessly integrate all essential components of a microgrid, encompassi­ng diesel and natural gas generator sets, hydrogen technologi­es, renewable energy sources, battery storage systems, systemleve­l controls, transfer switches and remote monitoring capabiliti­es. This comprehens­ive integratio­n ensures a smooth and efficient power supply, thereby enhancing the reliabilit­y and sustainabi­lity of the energy infrastruc­ture. These generators operate harmonious­ly with other distribute­d energy resources within the microgrid, including solar photovolta­ics, wind turbines and power storage systems. Central to these microgrids are intelligen­t controls and management software, which continuous­ly monitor energy demands and optimise energy distributi­on accordingl­y. In the event of a utility outage, the microgrid can immediatel­y switch to backup generators and batteries, ensuring continuous uninterrup­ted power supply. This redundant system significan­tly improves the resilience of the local energy infrastruc­ture. Cummins Generators not only deliver robust benefits as standalone units but also substantia­lly enhance the efficiency and reliabilit­y of microgrid systems. With winter loadsheddi­ng in mind, we currently have stock in country of 17 units of 2 250-kVA generators ready for dispatch, pricing details are available upon request. Cummins.com
