According to Don Gesick, general manager, Energy Solutions Business (ESB) Americas, “The customer chose Cummins Power Generation (CPG) primarily because of our “Power of One” solution. The ESB, Commercial Products and Power Electronics business units, together with two distributors, combined forces to deliver a design, product and service solution that includes one 1750 kW diesel generator and five 1750 kW lean-burn gas generators, as well as paralleling switchgear, transfer switches, installation reviews and commissioning services.
Peter Schroeck, manager of ESB business development, noted that there is a growing market for lean-burn natural gas-generated backup and supplemental power.
Summarizing the advantages of a duel-fuel approach, Schroeck also noted that, “Diesel power provides the quick-starting capability that is required for emergency standby power. Lean-burn natural gas, on the other hand, complements the diesel capability, allowing for maximum power availability.
When Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast in 2005, for example, many areas were without power for over a week. The average on-site diesel storage tank typically provides fuel for 8 – 24 hours, while natural gas offers an almost limitless supply of fuel that is not usually interrupted by hurricanes. The overall CPG solution provides the advantages of both fuel types.
While not on the Gulf Coast, Baton Rouge is in the “hurricane zone,” and this factor was not overlooked when ESB and Cummins Mid-South personnel, Bob Hamilton (sales manager) and John Sarris (commercial sales engineer), counseled the customer to choose a duel-fuel solution with both diesel and lean-burn natural gas units.
Dear readers,
The Balikpapan Expo 2010 marked its 6th successful year of exhibiting the finest of goods ranging from Transportation, Bio Fuel Development, Oil and Gas Related Industries.
The generators were evaluated using the industry standard ISO8528-5 test procedure for rating of G1 (Marginal) or G2 (Residential Grade). This rating takes into account the stability and response time of the electricity delivered from the generator. 
Cummins Power Generation has developed an impressive array of e-newsletters aimed at different audiences around the globe. The overall goal for these electronic publications is simple: provide specific, timely information about particular Cummins Power Generation products, projects and events to people with an interest in them. Here's a description of each:
The RS20A residential generator uses Cummins Onan patented double-walled sound dampening technology. The double-walled generator design utilizes long air-flow paths and acoustic chambers to provide the lowest sound level ever offered in its class - all with the end user and neighbors in mind. Other manufacturers rely on a single wall design that does little to curtail unwanted noise and ultimately result in harsher tones and higher noise levels.
The air louvers located along the bottom edge of the circular roof provide an efficient inflow and outflow of air even in harsh weather. The height of the air louvers helps to ensures that the air is not cut-off in case of heavy snow and the horizontal air louver design reduces water ingestion in heavy rain– to ensure you can enjoy uninterrupted power supply even in the harshest conditions.
A secure built-in base not only reduces annoying vibrations, but it also eliminates the need and cost of pouring a concrete slab – for you to save time and money. Further, a single door lift-off design
allows effortless installation and maintenance. Plug and play harnesses also make the installation much quicker and easy to understand.
Quality is of the utmost importance for Dan O’Brien who own and operates Academy Electric.
Social media is now an essential part of many initiatives by Cummins Power Generation. The overall concept is to join the conversations that are occurring continually on the web about power generation and offer relevant information to the various industries and markets that we serve. In this way, timely, useful information on Cummins products and services will be more easily found by a wide audience comprising engineers, contractors, dealers, distributors, employees, OEMs, commercial end users and homeowners.
Australia’s largest newspaper publisher, News Ltd, has chosen Cummins Power Generation to supply its Sydney headquarters with a new turn-key power solution. News Ltd publications account for around 70% of Australia’s circulation; it electronically produces principal dailies such as The Australian (Australia’s only national daily broadsheet), The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Telegraph. As the world’s leading power supplier with a strong presence in over 190 countries, Cummins Power Generation provides some of the world’s largest organisation with reliable and quality power systems – and News Ltd is no exception. In working with News Ltd, Australia’s largest newspaper publisher, owned by Media Mogul Rupert Murdoch, Cummins Power Generation needed to develop an emergency power system to ensure the company’s data centre, which operates round the clock worldwide was kept running and producing its publications.
A quick 
mage and evidently it disrupts the normal life. Extended periods of power loss are inconvenient and potentially dangerous. It is, thus, vital that you have an emergency power backup. This is where a generator comes into play. Most widely used generators for home usage are – portable gensets and standby residential generators. A residential generator has obvious advantages over a portable genset- automatic start, permanent fixture, more power, cleaner fuel (natural gas or propane), low running costs and cold weather-kit. Within moments of an electrical interruption, a home standby generator provides electricity to power essential items or whole house. It is easy to understand the complex but seamless operation of a home backup generator and transfer switch using this
