Powering a world that’s always on

At the recent Middle East Electricity (MEE) exhibition held at the Dubai World Trade Centre, visitors could discover a range of the latest power products, systems and components, all built with the quality and reliability that comes only from Cummins.

A highlight was the new HSK78G natural gas generator series. With a power density of up to 2,0 MW from a 78 L engine, the HSK78G series offers reliable power no matter how extreme the fuel source or operating conditions. This new series is a bold step into the natural gas area for Cummins, showcasing new technology in a new engine that pushes new levels of efficiency, transient performance and gas variation well beyond former natural gas generators.

The HSK78G generator models are suitable for a diverse set of industries from mining to manufacturing to shopping malls and hospitals, and have been designed to operate in extreme conditions while achieving a low total cost of ownership. The HSK78G models run cleaner whilst delivering a high electrical efficiency up to 44,2% (50 Hz) and 43,5% (60 Hz) on a wide range of pipeline natural gas down to 70 methane number (MN), without impacting power and efficiency output.

Alongside the physical HSK78 engine showcased on the stand, an interactive touchscreen was available, allowing visitors to explore the complete HSK78 generator model in 360 degree mode, while learning more about the key features and benefits of this new series.

To complement this display, visitors could step into the HSK78G Experience Pod room, which took them through a journey of different extreme and urban environments, from blistering hot deserts to cityscape settings, to highlight the extreme capability of the HSK78G series.

Cummins also displayed the Digital Master Control (DMC) 8000 remote monitoring simulator, a fully automatic, distributed logic controller suitable for remote applications, making it easier for users to integrate and adapt their varying power needs. The new DMC system can control diverse power sources such as solar, genset and wind. With remote access and monitoring available, users can securely access the control system and view up to 90 days of data logging at any time, anywhere.

The Cummins Load Control Module (LCM) was also on show. This is a load management controller regulating loads on standby generators to maximise their power potential via a smart and cost-effective package deal for the light commercial building industry. Visitors were able to experience a simulation in real time of how all system components are monitored.

For 100 years, Cummins technology has powered success around the world. The company’s comprehensive portfolio delivers innovative power projects and solutions for unique power needs.
