EQUIPMENT SHOWCASE
The need for reliable and resilient power
generation, including backup power,
means the market for mobile and smaller-scale
power generation continues to
grow. Commercial and industrial sites
are using generators to produce power
for their operations, often to ensure a
constant flow of electricity in the event
of an outage or to provide generation in
remote locations. The prevalence of severe
weather events in many locations
in recent years also has contributed to
growth not only in the commercial and
industrial market, but also in the residential
market. Though solar, wind, and energy
storage are powering more facilities,
natural gas and diesel are still the most
common fuels for generator units. Some
of the leading manufacturers and distributors
for generators are featured here.
Jenbacher Unveils Fast-Start
Gas Generator for Data
Centers
Today's data centers consume about
3% of the total energy generated globally
and the challenge is to deliver that
electricity in a more reliable and environmentally
sound way. Helping to
meet these needs, INNIO Jenbacher
has announced the launch of its new
Jenbacher J620 fast-start natural gas
Caterpillar Offers Range of

Caterpillar's range of Olympian generator
sets provides reliable energy solutions
for every business and every need.
Olympian generators can be installed as
the prime power source or for standby
service. They deliver dependable, clean,
economic power-even in the most demanding
conditions-and are available
in a wide range of configurations with
lers have multiple projections builtin,
including a low-fuel warning. APT
generators are purpose-built for quick,
easy, and safe transport and on-site
handling. Built to last, an APT generator
will provide years of dependable

generator (Figure 1) for data centers.
The company says the Jenbacher J620
not only delivers advantages for data
center backup operations, but it also
provides benefits when running parallel
to the grid and in island mode. With
built-in fuel storage, and with a natural
gas connection, data center operators
avoid limited run times and generator
refueling. Compared to standby diesel-fueled
generators, they also offer
emissions reductions of up to 90% for
nitrous oxide (NOx
carbon dioxide (CO2
) and up to 25% for
), giving users the
flexibility of longer run times. The Jenbacher
J620 provides full load in under
45 seconds, along with the additional
benefits that come with the ability to
run in a variety of operating modes. INNIO

provides 300% overcurrent starting capabilities
coupled to the engine's capacity
to stand a 100% load step. Standard
external fuel tank connections and dual
fuel filters provide the ability to run extended
periods without interruption in
service. The internal 700-gallon fuel tank
runs 27 hours. Camlocks and a battery
charger also come standard, providing
best-in-class performance for any rental
application. Atlas Copco, Rock Hill, South
