Power When You Need It: Parallel Generators Expand Options
A technology trend is taking place that is increasing reliability and scalability of emergency power systems for data centers. Almost all major generator manufacturers have recently developed controls for their generators that allow them to parallel with each other without needing complex and costly paralleling switchgear. This advancement in controls has allowed smaller, more readily available generators to provide more redundancy and scalability than larger engine generator sets. Ten years ago, price was no object when considering data center design. The world is now more competitive, and designs are being optimized to achieve the desired reliability at lower costs. By using these new trends, your architecture may change to yield more reliability at a lower cost.
