Key Features of the 1000 kW Cummins Natural Gas Cogeneration Container Genset
Rated Output: Approx. 1000 kW (1 MW) power output in the natural gas version.
Fuel Type – Natural Gas: Designed for pipeline natural gas or other suitable gas fuels, enabling cleaner combustion and lower emissions.
Rainproof Silent Container Enclosure: Weather‑protected containerised design with sound‑attenuation, enabling deployment in outdoor or semi‑exposed locations with minimal noise impact.
Cogeneration (CHP) Capable: Offers ability to recover waste heat (exhaust, jacket water, etc.) for heating or process use, improving overall system efficiency and reducing total cost of ownership.
Industrial‑Grade Engine & Alternator: Using Cummins heavy‑duty gas engine platform (e.g., QSK60G for 1000 kW series) and robust alternator design, ensuring durability, high motor starting capability and long service life.
Integrated Control & Protection System: Digital control panel (e.g., Cummins PowerCommand® 3.3 or equivalent) with auto start/stop, paralleling capability (if configured), comprehensive alarms, remote monitoring and load management.
Optimised for Quiet & Outdoor Use: Container design plus sound insulation and engineered ventilation makes it suitable for installations close to buildings or in noise‑sensitive areas.
Flexible Voltage / Frequency Options: Can be configured for 50 Hz or 60 Hz operations and customised voltage levels (e.g., 400 V, 480 V, 6.3 kV) depending on regional grid or microgrid requirements.
High Efficiency & Low Operating Cost: Natural gas fuel combined with high‑density gas engine results in lower fuel consumption per kW, reduced maintenance compared to diesel, and better environmental profile.
Modular & Scalable Design: Containerised solution allows simplified logistics, faster installation, and easier future expansion or relocation.
Applications of the 1000 kW Cummins Natural Gas Container Genset
Industrial & Manufacturing Facilities: Provide reliable prime or standby power for large plants, process equipment, compressor stations, and heavy electrical loads.
Commercial / Data Centres: Ensures continuous power supply in critical environments where reliability is essential, with containerised design reducing site build complexity.
Cogeneration / District Heating: With heat‑recovery capability, ideal for combined heat and power (CHP) applications in campuses, hospitals, hotels, or green energy sites.
Utilities & Grid‑Support / Microgrid: Suitable for utility backup, peak shaving, distributed generation or microgrid projects requiring ~1 MW capacity.
Remote / Modular Installations: Container format simplifies transportation and on‑site installation in remote locations, mining sites, oil & gas facilities or temporary power installations.
Low‑Carbon Transition Projects: For businesses moving from diesel to cleaner fuels, a natural‑gas genset offers a stepping stone to greener energy while maintaining reliability.
