Case Study
Our banking client had a 6-generator system providing backup power to their data centre. Each system provided 1 MW, 1250 kVA.
The system had become outdated and parts had become obsolete which prevented necessary repairs and servicing from being carried out to keep the system current and reliable.
Following a rigorous survey, a 5-year programme was developed to upgrade the full backup power provision.
Some of the generators were replaced with modern components and made fit for purpose.
Replacement of obsolete components, on otherwise good generators, was a cost-effective solution to extend the life of parts of the backup power systems.
The refurbished generators received new open protocol systems, providing modern functionality with accessible monitoring and control systems
Exhaust, cooling and acoustic systems were updated
Fuel systems were upgraded with bunded pipework and new fuel day tanks, to comply with environmental legislation and mitigate the risk of fuel leakage
