Standby PowerClean And Reliable Gas Power When You Need It

Gas Standby Power

Lean-burn gas fueled generator sets from

Cummins Power Generation Energy Solutions

Business (ESB) promise to deliver this power

continuity to all types of business. Used as a

standalone system or part of a hybrid combination

of lean-burn gas and diesel generator sets, they

deliver the robust and cost-effective standby

power you need to keep services functioning

successfully, at a lower operating cost and with

significantly decreased emissions than traditional

diesel fueled systems alone.

Reliable standby power provides essential protection against the risk of power failure. Whether it’s a manufacturing operation, sports center, hotel or corporate headquarters, running your operation efficiently means having ultra-dependable standby power at the ready to keep your services up and running and minimize expensive downtime.

Standby Power You Can Count On Worldwide.

The clean, efficient standby solutionRanging from 1000 kW – 1700 kW and providing

high power density, Cummins Power Generation

lean-burn gas fueled generator sets utilize lean-

burn combustion technology to give excellent

fuel efficiency with lower emissions and greater

economy than comparable diesel generator sets.

And, because they run on the extremely reliable

fuel of natural gas pipelines, these dependable

units deliver uninterruptible performance 24/7. Ideal

for a wide range of applications including offices,

shopping malls, sports facilities and manufacturing,

processing and industrial plants – Cummins

lean-burn gas fueled generator sets are a clean,

environmentally friendly and more reliable standby

solution.

Seamless control and buildOur lean-burn gas fueled generator sets incorporate

state-of-the-art PowerCommand® digital controls

for improved monitoring and easy operation. In

addition, each generator set is composed entirely

of Cummins-manufactured components, including

the engine, alternator, air and oil filtration, as well as

automatic transfer switches and switchgear. These

single-source elements work seamlessly together,

ensuring a build integrity that optimizes design,

performance and support – an advantage that we

call The Power of One™.

Your expert power partner. At Cummins, we design and engineer a world of

expertise into our generator sets. As a global power

generation leader with over 100 years’ experience,

we have a unique understanding of power

applications and a distributor network delivering

world-class service with 550 locations across 190

countries. Plus, our commitment extends to every

aspect of your power needs, from design and

installation to after-sales support.

This global reach and specialist knowledge makes

us the partner of choice for integrating lean-burn gas

fueled generator sets into your standby installation.

Lean-burn equals clean burnOur lean-burn gas fueled generator sets offer

a key benefit over diesel counterparts – lower

emissions that make them a cleaner standby

alternative. Operating on a lean mixture of fuel

and air, they produce up to 5 times less nitrogen

oxides (NOx) output than comparable diesel

generator sets and near-zero particulate matter

(PM). The result: they exceed US EPA emissions

standards without the use of Selective Catalyst

Reduction (SCR) after-treatment systems often

required in diesel models, which can cost as

much as the diesel standby generator set alone.

Diesel generator sets have long been the traditional choice for standby power

applications. Now with advanced control technology, lean-burn natural gas solutions

from Cummins ESB provide a cleaner, more cost-effective option - offering lower

total cost of ownership (TCO) and reduced emissions to meet ever more stringent

standards worldwide.

Reduced maintenance expenditureOur lean-burn gas fueled generator sets

require less scheduled maintenance than diesel

generator sets, with extended intervals between

recommended oil changes helping to drive down

long-term maintenance costs. And, because no

on-site fuel storage is required, environmental

concerns are minimized as well.

Uninterruptible performanceFuel supply simply isn’t an issue with natural gas

generator sets. Fueled by gas pipelines – the most

reliable of utility sources – Cummins gas generator

sets provide uninterruptible 24/7 performance

without the risks that come with deliveries of

diesel fuel, such as disruptions caused by extreme

weather or transport problems.

Lean-Burn Natural Gas: The Way Forward For Standby Applications.

Lower fuel costs, lower total cost of ownershipNatural gas has a substantially lower cost per

unit of energy than diesel fuel, translating into

significant savings in cost-per-run-hours as the

table shows. Even if a natural gas generator

set runs for only 50 hours in a year, the cost

differential can deliver an annual saving of $7,300.

Add this to other long-term maintenance savings

and the result is a considerably lower TCO.

No fuel storage issuesIn diesel standby applications, critical care

facilities such as hospitals may be legally required

to store 24 hours’ capacity of fuel onsite, holding

it in storage vessels that use valuable space and

add to maintenance costs. Diesel fuel also has

storage life limitations, with the risk of microbe

and moisture build-up contaminating the fuel.

Additionally, fuel storage vessels are at risk of

rupture or spillage during transfer, which can pose

particular dangers in sensitive environments such

as hospitals, schools and water treatment plants.

Cleaner, Greener And Cost-Effective Power Ideal For Hybrid And Dedicated Lean-Burn Installations.

Lean-burn gas and diesel for reliable hybrid solutions

When you need to extend a diesel standby

system in any critical or non-critical application,

it makes sense to integrate Cummins lean-burn

gas fueled generator sets to create a hybrid

installation. While lean-burn gas fueled generator

sets cannot meet the 10-second starting and

load acceptance limits imposed in some critical

healthcare applications, hybrid installations

answer the challenge – with diesel power systems

assuming the 10-second start life safety loads,

and the gas generator sets assuming the non-life

safety loads within 30 seconds.

Hybrid lean-burn natural gas and diesel solutions

deliver the best of both worlds: dependable

power and non-reliance on a single source of fuel

together with the benefits of lean-burn natural

gas – decreased TCO, minimal onsite fuel storage

requirements and reduced environmental impact.

In addition, both lean-burn gas fueled generator

sets and diesel generator sets can be paralleled

without difficulty.
