Global Brochure
Powering your world
Our people,
your partner
Every person, every story—
powerful resources
Every employee has a story at Cummins Power
Generation. Some are stories of coming to work with
a parent when they were young, becoming employees
themselves, then watching their children as they carry
on the legacy. Others tell of starting at a distributorship and moving on to one of the many Cummins
Power Generation offices located around the world.
Some tell of starting at a regional office, before
moving to global headquarters. Others talk of their
days as customers working for utility companies.
All our stories create a company with decades of
knowledge and experience to bring to every solution —
firsthand knowledge, essential for meeting your needs.
One person’s dream, many people’s ideas —

Energy management/cogeneration
Energy-intensive industries such as greenhouses,
food and pharmaceutical processors and utilities/independent power producers look to Cummins
Power Generation for systems that produce multiple
types of energy from a single source of fuel. For
example, cogeneration systems using Cummins
lean-burn natural gas engines can generate
electricity and thermal energy for heating or cooling
purposes, with a savings of up to 35% on total
energy expenditures.
Waste-to-energy systems/alternative fuels
Landfill gas, coal seam methane, flare gas and other
“waste” sources of low-energy-content fuel can now
be burned cleanly, efficiently and cost effectively by
specially engineered gas engine generators from
Cummins Power Generation. From coal seams
in Australia to landfills in Scotland and municipal
waste plants in the Canary Islands, Cummins Power
Generation is helping to capture potential pollutants
and utilize their energy content to generate electricity, thermal energy and more.

Palm oil
> Prime power
Kanowit Palm Oil Mill, East Malaysia
Malaysia produces nearly half of the world’s annual output of palm
oil. The factory at Sibu, Sarawak, in East Malaysia has no grid power
supply in the area, so it uses the residue and shells from the oil palm
fruit as fuel for a waste-fired boiler that drives a steam generator. The
factory depends on reliable diesel generators from Cummins Power
Generation to start up the boiler each day and to power the plant,
offices and residential units during the hours when the steam turbine
is not operational.

Nuclear research
> Standby power
Lucas Heights Nuclear Replacement Reactor, Australia
The 2.5 MW diesel standby power system for the nuclear research
reactor at Sydney’s Lucas Heights Science and Technology Center
required one of the most exhaustive seismic analyses ever for
generator sets from Cummins Power Generation. Installed as a
backup for the normal power supply that runs the nuclear research
center, the complete power system provides status data to the
reactor control and monitoring system.

Cellular sites
> Standby power
IDEA Cellular Limited, India
IDEA Cellular and its antecedents were among the first telecom
companies to set up cellular operations in non-metro areas. Today,
IDEA Cellular’s constantly growing network comprises more than
1,000 towns and also provides unsurpassed highway coverage.
Seamless cellular phone service requires an uninterrupted power
supply, which is why IDEA has installed back-up power systems
from Cummins Power Generation at more than 400 cell sites. Most
of these cell sites are on the rooftops of residential buildings, which
means that the generators have to be compact, lightweight and
operate with minimum vibration and noise.

More ore
> Rental Power
Falcondo Nickel Mine, Dominican Republic
Because of the increasing worldwide demand for ferronickel (used
in the stainless steel industry), the Falcondo Nickel Mine wanted to
avoid the production slowdown caused by annual thermal power
plant maintenance. Instead, the mine turned to temporary power by
renting 32 2 MW Rental Power units from Cummins Power Generation.
The turnkey system was delivered and installed in just 45 days from
contract to system start-up, allowing the mine to maintain production
during scheduled maintenance.

Alternative fuel
> Waste-to-energy
Landfill waste-to-energy plant, Scotland
Methane powers the Cummins Power Generation lean-burn
gas generator sets at this 193-acre landfill site in Dunbar. The
methane is produced from the thousands of tons of domestic
waste the site processes daily. The turnkey power plant produces
3.5 MW of electricity that is sold to a nearby cement plant. A key
selection factor was the high-volume output of the lean-burn
generators per dollar of investment.

Grid support
> Peaking power
Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), USA
The largest regional power supplier in the United States uses both
diesel and natural gas peaking plants from Cummins Power Generation
to help meet utility demands. The distributed generation plants not only
provide peaking power, but also reduce loads on transmission lines,
bring down power costs and improve electric reliability. A 20 MW diesel
plant for one TVA member utility provides emergency backup power to
the local community, while a 21 MW peaking-only plant burns natural
gas so cleanly, it’s permitted to operate for up to 1,200 hours per year.

Cargo lifting
> Prime power
IMPSA Port Systems, Port of Santos, Brazil
The Port of Santos, located in the state of São Paulo, is the busiest
port in Brazil. With 8.7 miles of docks spread along inland channels,
the shipyard depends on rubber-tired gantry cranes (RTGs) from
IMPSA Port Systems to load, unload and move containers and the
docks. These RTG cranes — capable of lifting up to 40 tons each —
are powered by diesel generators from Cummins Power Generation.
Installed in the structure of each RTG, the enclosed and acoustically
insulated generators provided all the electric power required for
movement, traction and lifting.

Medical emergency
> Standby power
Al Ahli Hospital, Qatar
One of the largest private hospitals in the Middle East, the new
Al Ahli Hospital in Doha depends on Cummins Power Generation
generators, paralleling switchgear and digital master control for
emergency backup power. The system is designed to supply about
40 percent of the hospital’s total needs, including all of its critical
loads, such as the intensive care unit, operating rooms and
computers, as required by international building codes.

Environmental excellence
> Peaking power
Lonsdale Power Station, Australia
The 20 MW diesel peaking power plant outside of Adelaide was the
first of its type in Australia, and it demonstrated that diesel power can
meet tough environmental standards. The power plant was awarded
a prestigious Institution of Engineers Australia commendation for
environmental excellence because the plant’s NOx emissions at ground
level are significantly below tough Australian standards proposed for
2008. The power station is also 80% quieter than standards require.
Built in just four months by a team from Cummins Power Generation,
the unmanned power station can be started automatically on demand,
within 60 seconds, from anywhere in Australia.
