Integrated power
systems for any
application
With a 100-year-long track record of delivering leading power solutions globally,
Cummins Power Generation pushes forward, exceeding any engineering
expectation by offering complete integrated power systems.

With smart digital controls, automatically working with various topologies

and power sources, around any possible failures, Cummins offers complete
power systems for any application. The result: a power system that
delivers fail-safe power control with complete simplicity.
MICROGRIDS
Changing the conversation to the power of choice
As more businesses focus on the sustainability of a complete power system and deploy renewable energy
sources such as solar photovoltaics (PV), microgrids integrate these renewable sources into the energy
infrastructure. As local energy systems, microgrids are capable of producing, storing and distributing energy to
the facilities within the network.

For example, with the critical need for continuous, uninterrupted power, healthcare facilities implement
microgrids as grid-connected solutions for reliable power. In the case of off-grid applications such as in remote
mining sites or small island communities, microgrids offer not only critical power solutions but much needed cost
and fuel savings.

In markets such as these, customers are making decisions in their Distributed Energy Resource (DER) choices, to
combine renewable energy sources such as solar PV or wind turbines with generator sets, energy storage systems,
intelligent controls and management software for reliable power that is sustainable, reliable, and cost effective.
