Data centre in Slovakia opts for Cummins Power Generation solution
|
Cummins Czech Republic has provided a standby power solution to the DataCube data centre – the largest and most modern data centre in Slovakia, and probably in all of central Europe. The newly opened 6,700 m2 data centre meets National Security Authority safety class 3, and exceeds European Tier III+ environmental standards.
Cummins Czech Republic came out on top after a multi-round tender process, chiefly thanks to many years of experience with Cummins Power Generation generator sets, and also thanks to its high level of service in both equipment installation and after-sales support. The generator sets were installed in custom-made containers measuring 12 x 2.6 x 3.5 metres. The containers were built in cooperation with Cummins Power Generation in Poland, and their height meant specialised transport was necessary to bring them to the assembly site.

Cummins Power Generation meets requirement for low noise levels at Lebanese American University
|
All work is being undertaken by Cummins Middle East FZE, Lebanon branch, with Associated Consulting Engineers in a consultancy role and DG Jones handling project management. Cummins Power Generation C1675 D5 and C1100 D5 generator sets have been installed, using KTA50-G8 and QST30-G4 engines. Phase 1 of the project has a total power requirement of 2.4 MVA, rising to 9 MVA in Phase 2. Cummins Middle East won the contract by being able to offer lower fuel consumption and a shorter lead time. A special requirement was for containerised generator sets that would run quietly to achieve the required sound level of 68 dba at 1 metre. To meet the specified emissions restrictions, Cummins Middle East added a catalytic converter to the system. A load management relay was also installed, since in Phase 2 a Cummins DMC 200 management controller will be required to control the operation and distribution of the loads. The load management relay has been embedded into the Building Management System.

Cummins Power Generation distributor provides standby power to cable landing station in Oman
|
 Universal Engineering Services LLC (UES), Cummins Power Generation’s distributor in Oman, has installed a standby power solution for a submarine cable landing station. The work was part of a project carried out by local companies Qtel and Nawras, Indian company TATA and a number of Gulf Cooperation Council telecommunications companies. The landing point for the cable is in Qalhat, north of Sur.
UES has installed two Cummins Power Generation C700 D5 generator sets to provide 1100 kVA of standby power in the event of a grid outage, anticipated to occur on average one or two times a month. The two generator sets are synchronised to operate in parallel, and are supplied in enclosures since they are sited outdoors.
Oman is the landing point for an increasing number of submarine telecommunications cables. TATA is heavily involved in building a state-of-the-art communications network linking its home country of India with sites around the Middle East.

Cummins Power Generation to supply power for cell towers in Zimbabwe
|
Cummins Power Generation is continuing its strong growth in Africa. The latest evidence is the sale of 124 C17D5T generator sets to provide standby and prime power for Telecel, The customer for this significant order is Huawei, the second-largest supplier of telecom infrastructure equipment in the world. Cummins Power Generation is a partner with Huawei and recently won a Key Supplier Award from that company for its work in Africa. The longstanding relationship with Huawei was a key factor in the sale. The generator sets will supplement the sometimes-unreliable power from the grid for the towers, or base transceiver stations, of the network. The towers will be located in both the northern and southern areas of the country, including the Bulawayo and Harare districts and Manicaland Province. Both Cummins South Africa and Cummins Zimbabwe will provide ongoing service and support.

City Seasons Hotel benefits from automated car parking with standby power from Cummins Power Generation
|
A Cummins Power Generation C550 D5e generator set is providing standby power to the Gulf States’ first automated car parking facility. Installed at the City Seasons Hotel in Al Khuwair, Oman, the auto car parking system is a solution to a growing problem in the region: meeting customer demands for car parking spaces.
 The contractor successfully completed the mechanical installation of the system, which was supplied by Cummins Power Generation’s distributor in Oman, Universal Engineering Services (UES) LLC. The order was won in competition with a CAT C15 solution, thanks to UES’s relations with the contractor.The generator set is rated for 550 kVA and is expected to be needed only occasionally, since the power grid in the Muscat area is generally stable. The most vital working part of the car parking system – the lift – will be kept in operation by the C550 D5e generator set on the rare occasions the grid supply is interrupted.

Cummins Power Generation scales logistical and physical heights for N+1 data center installation in heart of Chicago
|
CoreSite’s colocation (COLO) data center adjacent to the Chicago Board of Trade serves over 80 customers, including Tier 1 ISPs, financial trading firms, content delivery networks, cloud computing providers, and system integrators. The company decided to replace its old backup power system with a new, more powerful system from Cummins Power Generation. Meeting CoreSite’s requirements posed a series of design and logistical challenges that put Cummins to the test.
First, the old 6 MW system had to be removed and the new 8 MW Cummins system installed, on a seventh-story rooftop. Among other things, that meant closing busy streets in the downtown Loop. Another challenge was how to fit four 2-MW generator sets plus a DMC 200 paralleling system in the limited roof space available. A third challenge involved provisioning temporary backup power during the transition. And fourth, the entire project had to be completed on a tight lead time. Read a new case history that tells how it was all accomplished — ahead of schedule.
