S4 Energy, a Netherlands-based energy storage specialist, is using the company’s regenerative drives and process performance motors to power its combination with a large battery to create an innovative hybrid storage system in Heerhugowaard, around 35 kilometres from Amsterdam.

This system, in full operation since April 2022, can release and store energy with a fast response to keep the grid frequency within tightly controlled limits to ensure network stability.

In addition to stabilising the grid, active support to the local Luna wind energy park. Here it acts as a short-term damper to prevent imbalance in the output of the turbines and prevent curtailment of production.

Edison Next is a 100% owned subsidiary of Edison and this delivery will be part of their agreement to increase the energy efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint of the Michelin plant in Cuneo. The new high-efficiency trigeneration plant will be supplying electricity, heat and cooling for the industrial processes of the tire factory in Cuneo – which is Michelin’s largest production site in the Western Europe with an installed production capacity of 13 million car tires per year.

It will be powered by two 11.7 MWe gas gensets, incorporating a 20-cylinder variant of the new powerful Bergen B36:45 engines series. Bergen Engines has committed that these engines will be able to run on a fuel blend with 10% volume hydrogen and 90 % volume natural gas.

Marco Steardo, Industry Director of Edison Next “Our mission is to lead clients along their decarbonization journey, empowering businesses in being competitive on the market. To achieve this objective, we collaborate with leading international companies offering innovative technologies and expertise. The partnership with Bergen Engines is key to achieve the target of this important project.

Emilio Cosso, Managing Director of Bergen Engines (Italia) S.r.l., said: “We are pleased to continue our long partnership with Edison Next on this important project. Aiming for zerocarbon emissions, our commitment to operate on a hydrogen fuel blend is an important step in the decarbonization of our customers’ operations.

The Norwegian engine manufacturer is currently conducting a comprehensive test programme towards zero carbon emission engines, to allow for a gradual transition from liquid natural gas to 100% green hydrogen fuel. The aim is to have a commercial solution on the market that will accept hydrogen content of up to 60%, and solutions that can be further developed to accept 100% for new engines to come.

For the new Cuneo power plant, the two Bergen gensets will be running in parallel with 1.5 million square feet of solar panels (PV) and steam boilers in a hybrid system, providing a total electrical output of 25 MWe. It will replace the existing 48 MWe power plant that was built in 2008, equipped with a gas turbine and steam turbine.

GERMAN TURBINE UPGRADE PROJECT BEGINS The run-of-river plant was commissioned in 1930, and ANDRITZ installed two of those original units. With annual average energy production of about 760GWh, Ryburg-Schwörstadt contributes toward a sustainable and emission-free future.

The work will be performed by the ANDRITZ location in Kriens, Switzerland, as the contractor responsible for overall project management, logistics and transport, engineering, erection and commissioning.

Model testing and runner design will be carried out at the ANDRITZ location in Tampere, Finland, and manufacture of the new Kaplan runners and factory overhaul of the large turbine components will be conducted at the ANDRITZ manufacturing facility in Ravensburg, Germany.

ANDRITZ offers a broad portfolio of plants, equipment, systems, services and digital solutions for the pulp and paper, metals, hydro and separation industries. ANDRITZ Hydro supplies electromechanical equipment and services for hydropower plants.

The aim of the upgrade project is to ensure the service life and operating safety until the end of the concession, as well as to make environmental improvements by installing oil-free bearing systems on wicket gates and oil-free hubs for the new runners. The new license for the project was granted in February 2010. The units will be renovated one after the other between 2023 and 2027.

The ANDRITZ scope of supply and services for the hydro-mechanical overhaul of the four Kaplan turbines, including hydraulic turbine governors, comprises design, engineering, manufacture of new parts, factory overhaul, transport, erection, testing and commissioning. www.wipmagazines.com www.powermediagroup.co.uk

POWERPLANTS INSPECTED BY NEW SKYPERSONIC DRONE PILOTED FROM ACROSS THE ATLANTIC OCEAN VIA A CELLPHONE CONNECTION

DEEP SEA ELECTRONICS APPOINTS NEW MANAGING DIRECTOR

Relying only on an internet connection from a normal cellphone, industrial drone company Skypersonic - part of publicly traded drone company Red Cat Holdings - visually inspected the The Orlando-based pilot - Drew Camden, president of Red Cat subsidiary Rotor Riot - had no advance knowledge of the Iren district heating-network plant in Turin through which he piloted the Skypersonic ‘Skycopter’ drone. This special drone can be piloted without the aid of GPS, a fundamental system for piloting conventional drones outdoors but that is not available indoors, under bridges, in tunnels and other enclosed spaces.

Pilot Camden had never visited the Italian plant, nor seen any drawings or photos of the floor plan or the layout of the many staircases, stacks, ducts, conduit, joists and other obstacles through which he guided the Skycopter from across the Atlantic Ocean. All he could go by was the video feed from the drone, which allowed him thanks to Skypersonic’s technology minimising signal lag across oceanic distances - to see and react to the building’s interior in near-real time, with a reception lag or latency of only 68 milliseconds, i.e., less than a tenth of a second.

TRIALLING HYDROGEN FUEL CELLS AS DATA CENTRE BACKUP POWER Verne Global plans to trial and deploy hydrogen fuel cells at its 40-acre data centre campus near Landsvirkjun and regional hydrogen business Icelandic New Energy for the project.

Hörður Arnarson, CEO, Landsvirkjun, comments: “We’re really looking forward to working with Verne Global on this project and helping them further capitalise on Iceland’s inimitable ability to provide green energy.

We’re proud to undertake this pioneering project with an industry leader.”

In November 2021 Ireland’s Commission for the Regulation of Utilities (CRU) recommended curbs on data centr ebuilding until 2028, as Ireland was unable to build renewable capacity fast enough to meet other needs, including a commitment to decarbonize the grid. Ireland had previously pledged that 80% of the country’s electricity must come from renewable sources by 2030.

The Irish inward investment agency, IDA Ireland CEO Martin Shanahan has confirmed that new data centres “are unlikely to happen in Dublin and the East Coast, at this point.”

EirGrid has previouslu warned that data centres across the nation already use more than 10% of the country’s electricity supply, and this could grow to 30% by 2030. Not only would this make it impossible to decarbonize the grid, it would cause “rolling blackouts,” said EirGrid.

Eamon Ryan, minister for the environment, climate, and communications told the media that Ireland is currently in a ‘’very tight situation’ regarding the power supply, and Eirgrid is ‘’absolutely right’’ not to take new applications from data centres. ‘’We haven’t taken a new application for a new data centre going back almost two years to July 2020,’’

GAS EMERGENCY DECLARED IN GERMANY AS FALLOUT FROM UKRAINE-RUSSIA WAR

RNG MICROGRID FOR MICROSOFT WILL POWER THE COMPANY’S DATA CENTRE

On June 23rd, 2022, Germany’s Economy and Climate Ministry sounded an official alarm and initiating the second phase of the country’s three-step gas emergency plan, the so-called ‘alert’

Microsoft has signed a

The strategic move has been attributed to the reduction in gas supplies from Russia which started on 14th June, 2022, as well as the continued high price level on the gas market. Germany’s gas storage facilities are currently only 58 % full.

The Ministry has said: “Should Russian gas deliveries via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline remain at the low level of 40 %, a storage level of 90 % by December can hardly be achieved without additional measures.”

The role of the warning is to prepare gas consumers for a forthcoming rise in the price of gas and possible supply bottlenecks while still largely relying on market mechanisms to remedy the situation.

In he event of a Stage 3 Emergency being delcared the German government would take steps to directly intervene in the gas market to secure supply to ‘protected’ customers, a group which includes small businesses, hospitals and private households, to the possible disadvantage of large industrial consumers.

Germany’s Economy and Climate Minister Robert Habeck, explains: “Even if gas quantities can still be procured on the market and stored, the situation is serious and winter will come, We mustn’t delude ourselves: cutting gas supplies is an economic attack on us by Putin. It is clearly Putin’s strategy to create insecurity, drive up prices and divide us as a society. We are defending ourselves against this. But it will be a rocky road that we as a country now have to walk. Even if you don’t really feel it yet: we are in a gas crisis.

“Prices are already high and Germany must brace itself for further increases. This will affect industrial production and become a major burden for many consumers. It’s an external shock.”

Thomas McAndrew, CEO of Enchanted Rock, commented: “Today’s digital world relies on the uptime and continuity of data centre operations.”

He explains: “This continuity does not need to come at the expense of companies’ carbon emission reduction goals or local air quality.

“Microsoft’s decision to pursue a renewable microgrid marks another milestone in the industry as businesses continue to move away from conventional, less carbon-friendly methods, and we expect this project will demonstrate that large-

scale, reliable, and costeffective backup generation with net-zero carbon can become the new standard.”

Microsoft says it picked Enchanted Rock for its ability to develop a reliable microgrid with net-zero emissions.

Once operational, the system should outperform current California Air Resources Board (CARB) emissions requirements for distributed generation, the most stringent in the world, with hourly local emissions 80%-96% lower than Tier 4 diesel standards while delivering higher reliability.

Black & Veatch’s early involvement has been to help Mercury understand which combination of electrolyser technology and size, as well as hydrogen storage and transport options – and water supply alternatives – best meets its business goals for the project. This is achieved through developing multiple scenario studies and conceptual site layouts.

Once the optimal configuration is identified, Black & Veatch will develop an outline design for the facility that is sympathetic to the local surroundings; and support engagement with the local community, as well as work to ensure the plant’s safe operation.

“Holland Hydrogen I demonstrates how new energy solutions can work together to meet society’s need for cleaner energy,” said Anna Mascolo, executive vice president, emerging energy solutions at Shell.

“Renewable hydrogen will play a pivotal role in the energy system of the future and this project is an important step in helping hydrogen fulfil that potential.”

The green hydrogen produced will be transported via the HyTransPort pipeline – a new hydrogen pipeline through the Port of Rotterdam with planned connections locally as well as to Chemelot in Limburg, North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany and other European regions.

The green hydrogen will supply Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rotterdam, replacing some of the grey hydrogen used in the refinery.

The combination of a Deutz TCG 7.8 H2 hydrogen engine and a generator will deliver electric power of up to 170 kVA during the initial six-month test phase.

The electricity will be fed directly into Cologne’s power grid. In a second step, the genset’s waste heat is to be utilised.

The solution being piloted by Deutz and RheinEnergie has huge potential for the local, carbon-neutral supply of energy in urban centres, Deutz said.

“We are a utility company for a major city and specialize in concepts for neighborhoods and districts,” said Dr. Dieter Steinkamp, CEO of RheinEnergie.

“An engine like this can help to provide electricity and heating locally. When combined with heat accumulators, heat pumps, solar installations, and electricity storage, this technology makes it possible to supply entire neighborhoods on a climate-neutral basis.”

Deutz said the joint pilot project marks an important step on its journey to volume production of the TCG 7.8 H2, which is scheduled to start in 2024. With an output of around 200 kW, the hydrogen engine is suitable for “The pilot project to generate carbon-neutral energy shows that high tech and the city of Cologne are a great match,” says Michael Wellenzohn, member of the Deutz board of management responsible for sales, marketing, and service.

“We have found a strong partner in RheinEnergie and are very excited to put the TCG 7.8 H2 through its paces in the real world in our pioneering project.”

Dr. Markus Müller, member of the Deutz board of management with responsibility for research & development, said, “We are already seeing a lot of interest in our H2 engines from customers across all application areas and we are already planning further pilot applications.”

F

ounded in 2013, UK-based Constant Power Solutions (CPS) has experienced tremendous growth in recent years, exporting generators to over 50 countries worldwide.

Headquarted in Selby, North Yorkshire, the company his a well-respected brand with a reputation for quality, Since CPS was incorporated the company has supplied generator sets to the Palestinian-controlled territories in Israel, including the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

Control over this region remains a complex and evolving siutation . Due to the lack of grid power in these source of power for both domestic and commercial users.

As populations have grown and industries have demand for power supplies. Before 2013, all electricity was imported via Israel-based power plants, but even then the supply of power did not meet demand, hence the need for diesel-powered generator sets.

CPS has supplied its gensets thatnks to a business partnership with Palestinian Energy Company, PalPower.

Palpower is now the main authorised dealer and reseller of generators inthe region.

A company for CPS comments: “With the help of PalPower, we have supplied an AP1250S Containerised Perkins Powered Alpha Series Generator paired with a Stamford alternator. Its role is to provide backup power for a hospital in a Palestiniancontrolled area.”

The project was completed within 10 weeks and the AP1250S Containerised Perkins Powered Alpha Series Generator with Stamford alternator was installed and commissioned in May 2022.

Providing emergency backup generators for the healthcare industry is one of the most important things Constant Power Solutions does, says the company.

“Having a 24/7 emergency backup power system in place at hospitals and healthcare facilities can experience allows us to provide a backup power system to meet the ongoing demands of modern healthcare facilities throughout the UK, and beyond.”

“

WITH THE HELP OF PALPOWER, CPS HAS SUPPLIED AN AP1250S CONTAINERISED PERKINS POWERED ALPHA SERIES GENERATOR PAIRED WITH A STAMFORD ALTERNATOR. ITS ROLE IS TO PROVIDE BACKUP POWER FOR A HOSPITAL IN A PALESTINIAN-CONTROLLED AREA. THE PROJECT WAS COMPLETED WITHIN 10 WEEKS AND THE GENSET COMMISSIONED & RUNNING BY MAY 2022. www.wipmagazines.com www.powermediagroup.co.uk

The need for generators in the healthcare market is one of absolute importance. Whether it is a storm or a general blackout, people need to be assured that the hospital will be able to sustain power and get it from an alternative source, says CPS. The Palestinian hospital project Through conversations with its clients, CPS has discovered that certain countries and regions have a preference in engine brand and alternator brands,.

This turns out to be the reason the Perkins engine had to to be paired with a Stamford alternator on this West Bank project.

A company spokesman continues: “Lead time was also a key factor in the deal, as well as meeting the needs and requirements of the project for the hospital.

“We began work on the container, inviting PalPower to the factory to discuss the progress on the project.

Company representatives could see their generator being built in front of their eyes!.”

According to CPS, the 40ft container held a Perkins 4012-46TWG2A Engine and Stamford alternator. Also provided was a DeepSea control panel and an Internal fuel tank with

connection points for external and an internal light for servicing.

The Perkins 4012 range packs a real performance punch, with 12 cylinders and 46-litre displacement providing all the power a client needs. The range’s diesel ElectropaK engines are supplied complete with radiator and air cleaner, or as engine only.

They provide 989-1600 kVA generator output, with exceptional power-to-weight ratios. The compact design of the engines makes them easy to transport and install.

Economic and durable, the engines have excellent power-to-weight ratios, as well as outstanding load acceptance and improved emissions.

Commonality of components with other engines in the 4000 Series makes replacing parts or upgrading an easy process The spokesman said: “We at CPS had to ensure that our product met all the strict design criteria as well as to work within strict budgets. One of the main reasons why PalPower chooses to work with CPS is that our products are UK-made. All our components are UK or of European origin, manufactured to a very high quality standard.”

Peter Stuttaford, CEO of Thomassen Energy: “Our H2 has been operating successfully on three Frame 9E turbines in the Netherlands at another customer location since 2018 with hydrogen (up to 35% H2 demonstrated) fuel blending. turbines today, which will ultimately allow operational The patented LEC III™ combustion technology, developed, and manufactured by Power Systems Mfg., LLC (PSM), guarantees sub-5 parts-per-million (ppm) NOx emission levels when operated on natural gas over the entire premix operating range, from baseload down to 80% relative load (respectively 50%-60% with Inlet Bleed Heat system).

CO emissions under these conditions are typically measured in the low single digits to meet customer requirements.

The LEC III™ system was developed for implementation in B & E-class turbines, including GE Frames 6B [below], 7B/EA, 9E, and Siemens/ Westinghouse 501B6/D5, either as drop-in replacements for existing OEM DLN1 systems, or as complete conversions from standard trol systems are needed, says the company.

Summary of Design Features anchor while the combustor is operating in premix mode. The OEM venturi design dumps spent cooling air at the aft end of the venturi to surround and mix with the reacting/ combustion gases. This works to cool down local reaction temperatures which prevents CO from completely oxidizing to CO2. venturi design injects the cooling air at the downstream/aft end of the primary zone and eventually discharges into the premixer where it combines with the fuel and air mixture prior to combustion.

slot cooled impingement method.

Because less air is used to cool the liner when compared to the OEM, more air can be mixed into the bulk fuel/air mixture via the premixer dilution holes, resulting in better mixing and a leaner combustion mixture which reduces NOx generation.

The patented Fin Mixer SFN design was developed to eliminate the nozzle tip pilot fuel, a requirement in the current OEM combustion design to control combustion dynamics.

This has eliminated a small but very hot tip burning zone which is responsible for a disproportionate amount of NOx formation, says PSM. PSM’s LEC III™ liner design has consistently demonstrated less than 5ppm NOx and less than 2ppm CO installations (when installed as a complete system). The design has improved manufacturing techniques and thus tighter manufacturing tolerances to reduce combustor variation for minimal exhaust temperature spreads.

At the Association for Decentralised Energy’s (ADE) annual President’s Reception, hosted by Lord Duncan of Springbank and supported by Flexitricity, leaders from across the industry gathered to learn, network and explore how we can ensure that both households and businesses will be able to provide enough flexibility to balance supply and demand, and critically, be fairly rewarded for doing so.

The ADE calls for reform to see the system driving towards efficiency at all levels and enabling all households and businesses to make the right choice to electrify their heating, whether that is through individual heat pumps or collective heat network systems.

Dr Alastair Martin, Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Flexitricity, said: “Efficiency means using less energy, while flexibility means using energy when and where it’s cheap, abundant and green, or giving in back when it’s scarce, expensive or dirty.”

MPS member company, Clarke Energy, a

recently supplied the 5.1 megawatts (MW) gas power plant solution at Tosett Agro Industries Ltd and its sister company JB Farms Ltd. in Nigeria. it has seen energy costs fall by 70% and lower carbon emissions from its operations following its decision to switch from diesel to gas plant.

Femi Olaoye, the company’s head of operations described that beyond uninterrupted power supply, which has reduced the frequency of machine breakdown due to the sensitive nature of factory equipment, the consistency has helped.

“The major factor was that the quantity of diesel supplied and its cost did not yield an equal amount of diesel abound as all the problems with diesel management.”

“When you look at the cost of one standard cubic meter of gas versus the equivalent quantity of diesel, you will see that the in savings is massive. Gas is almost less in terms of cost. So, it has saved us a lot of money as energy cost has come down.”

Clarke Energy, a multinational specialist energy solutions solution at Tosett Agro Industries Ltd and its sister company JB Farms Ltd. The supply included design, technical drawings, engines, installation, and commissioning and currently provides equipment maintenance.

Yiannis Tsantilas, the Managing Director of Clarke Energy in Nigeria, said: “Clarke Energy has demonstrated its expertise in delivering reliable and durable power in Nigeria. Its relationship with the leaders at Tosett Agro began before the commissioning of the initial 3.4 expansion was possible because of the extraordinary leadership foresight at Tosett/JB Farms and their strong

commitment to serving the expanding domestic demand for oil palm products. At the same time, ensuring food and feedstock security in Nigeria, through backward integration and creating wealth, especially for the farmers.” * * * *

Giving specialised training in Papua New Guinea (PNG)

Clarke Energy’s Global Reach and Local Focus was evident recently travelled from Australia to Papua New Guinea to provide specialised Clarke Energy’s combined approach of theoretical training followed by practical application means all technicians are trained using the exact modules they will be working on in a supportive and practical environment.

The key outcome Clarke Energy seeks from this method is to build Clarke Energy as a full circle; sales and maintenance provider.

The training also gave technicians an opportunity to view newly completed projects by ECM and witness some of the training in a practical, real world Clarke Energy says, “I grew up in the highlands of Papua New Guinea. It’s great to be able to bringing the latest world class training information from global powerhouse wherever they might be! Clarke Energy use a range of theoretical, practical

provide extensive technical training to our Channel Partners and custom ers. Each of our training modules are tailored to the requirements of the The training Clarke Energy provided to ECM was split into two sections: introduction, discussing its build process, how it can be integrated into a wider system and its’ applications. The training continued to go into the onto electrical and sensor detail.

Routine servicing and maintenance schedules were explained and practical servicing was carried out by technicians.

The second half of the training covered product architecture and applications/application numbers of the APM403 controller.

The training then covered theoretical followed by the practical implementation aspects.

NEW CENTUM GENSETS LAUNCHED ON THE MARKET|

UPGRADE FOR THE DATA CENTRE POWERPOD POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM.

PowerPOD 3.0 has a smaller footprint, allowing for data centres to deploy more racks. It also increases efficiency, so less energy is wasted within the power supply itself. It also has an upgraded structure so it can be deployed more quickly, and has better management pushing towards the idea of autonomous data centers, according the manufacturer Huawei.

The PowerPod 3.0, based around the high-density UPS5000-H uninterruptible power supply and has a 40% smaller footprint than its predecessors.

It reduces the number of cabinets from 22 to 11, which can save space in the average data centre. Huawei calculates that, in a 12MW data centre, this could allow 170 more racks.

The new PowerPod consumes 70% less power within the unit - increasing the power conversion efficiency from 94.5% to 97.8%, while shortening the link length. Customers can apparently increase this to 99.1% if they switch to Eco mode, which removes the double conversion process to get higher efficiency.

Huawei calculates this can save $300,000 per year in a 12MW data centre - a factor which also depends on the local electricity price.

The new power supply features prefabricated busbars, which Huawei says can shorten the time to deliver and commission the equipment. Traditional power supplies will require about 35 copper bars and 180 cables to be connected onsite, and delivery can take up to two months, says Huawei, whereas PowerPOD 3.0 can be up and running in just 14 days. www.huawei.com XFUSION USES GAN SYSTEMS TRANSISTORS FOR HIGH DENSITY DATA CENTRE PSU xFusion and GaN Systems have partnered to set a power density record for data centre power supply units.

The PSU, from xFusion, uses gallium nitride chips from GaN Systems to deliver a power density of 100W per cubic inch.

The 3kW power supply has a 96% efficiency rating under the 80 Plus certification scheme, giving it a Titanium rating. GaNbased PSUs enable data centres to increase revenue and reduce operating costs and carbon footprints.

The product, which measures 68mm x 183mm x 40.5mm, can be built into rack-mounted data center kit and should make it more efficient. It delivers 12V output from muliple input levels.

Jim Witham, CEO of GaN Systems, comments: “Customers implementing GaN Systems’ power semiconductors in their PSUs are seeing a continual increase in PSU power density from 45W/in3 to 63/in3, 82/in3, and now to 100W/ in3. With these power density breakthroughs and efficiency improvements, the value proposition of GaN is undeniable, and we will see more PSU companies offering these solutions.”

GaN offers higher power densities than alternatives, offering up to twice the power density of traditional PSUs, offering a smaller package that also has a lower power loss than traditional MOSFETs.

The first units in a new range of generator sets providing standby and prime power duties in mission critical, commercial and industrial applications has been announced by Cummins Inc. According to the company, the new Centum Series generators have been engineered to meet customers’ precise power needs with high-efficiency engines designed to fit in a smaller footprint. comments Kunj Sheth, Global Marketing Director, Mission Critical, Cummins: “Centum Series generators represent a significant shift in the Cummins approach to power system design, offering next-level flexibility, efficiency and sustainability. The Centum Series brings needed power density while reducing installation, fuel and maintenance costs.

“With next generation performance, flexibility and sustainability, you get exactly the generator you want without compromise. Centum, the Latin word for ‘one hundred,’ represents the century of Cummins Power Generation that precedes us, and the company’s vision for the next 100 years.”

Designated C1250D6E and C1500D6E the the Centum gensets are rated 1250 and 1500 kW standby and 1136 kW and 1364 kW prime/ Data Centre Continuous, all at 60 Hz. The engines feature brushless, four-pole single bearing Stamford S Series alternators with Class H Insulation and PMG excitation. Temperature rise offerings range from 80º to 150º C, ing robust solutions for applications requiring enhanced motor starting requirements or significant amounts of non-linear loads.”

Powered by the Cummins QSK38 engine, a 12-cylinder veeconfiguration diesel with bore and stroke dimensions of 159 x 159 mm for an overall displacement of 37.8 L, the gensets are said to be efficient, very reliable and economical too.

The C1250D6E and C1500D6E are equipped with Cummins QSK38 engine, boasting over 2200 hp in an impressive 38 L platform. The QSK38 engine has been used extensively in marine, military and other applications, where it has proven its durability and capability to perform for thousands of hours without intervention.

The QSK38 high-pressure injection system and electronic controls ensure clean, powerful and efficient operation every time.

The Electronic Control Module (ECM) continuously monitors data from strategically placed sensors within the engine, optimising the fuel-toair mixture for maximum combustion. Fuel is injected at pressures exceeding 25,000 psi. This results in better utilisation of fuel with fewer emissions. Getting more energy out of every drop of diesel fuel also results in greater power.

As Kunj Sheth puts it: “It’s a higher-efficiency engine, engineered to ensure you get the exact performance you need without having to pay more to install and maintain a larger generator set.” www.cummins.com
