To learn more about how Cummins Power Generation has provided energy solutions for a variety of industries, please review the case histories listed below:
Based on projections, it is estimated that American Honda will save
more than 30% in on–campus energy expenditures each year using a combined
heat and power (CHP) system from Cummins Power Generation.
Cummins Power Generation provided a low emissions, sound–attenuated turnkey solution to help support the Australian power grid during times of high peak demand or power emergencies. The unmanned Angaston peaking plant features 30 Cummins Power Generation QSK60 generator sets that can start up, synchronize and be online generating 50 MW of power in less than two minutes.
The installation of a 1.75 MW cogeneration system from Cummins Power
Generation at the world–famous Chicago Museum of Science and Industry
is designed to provide up to 80 percent of the museum’s heat, hot water
and electricity.
Geert De Breuck produces about 1,650 metric tons (3.64 million pounds) of tomatoes annually with the help of a combined heat and power (CHP) system designed by Cummins Power Generation that generates electricity for on–site use and for sale to the power grid, while simultaneously producing heat and carbon dioxide for plant growth.
Cummins Power Generation Inc. helps Quebec’s Hydro Sherbrooke revitalize the utility’s
peak–shaving program for its customers with a closed–transition transfer switch
that automates power transfers without manual
intervention or disruptions.
Cummins Power Generation’s 2.3 MW natural gas powered combined
heat and power (CHP) plant supplies hot water, low pressure steam and cooling to the entire distribution centre optimizing building operations, improving energy performance while also reducing CO2 emissions.
Visitors to Shanghai’s Jinqiao Sports Center can work out in comfort, thanks to a new combined heat and power (CHP) system from Cummins Power Generation. The CHP system uses natural gas to power an onsite electric generator that supplies electricity to the facility, while the waste heat from the engine is used to make hot water and heat the swimming pool and building. The CHP system is so efficient that the center’s energy costs will pay for the system in less than three years.
The Canary Islands Salto del Negro municipal waste treatment plant has proven to be a solution to heated environmental and political issues posed by wastewater and solid waste disposal on the islands. The combined heat and power (CHP) system manufactured by Cummins Power Generation processes garbage and sewage collected from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, a city of 380,000, and several surrounding towns and villages. The waste is processed to produce methane gas, which is then used to fuel generators that produce both electricity and heat.
This cogeneration installation by Cummins Power Generation provides reliable and cost–efficient electric power plus heat serving to lower this Colombian pasta producer’s production costs overall.
In order to help power the electrical infrastructure required to operate, the Port of Pecém relies on an on–site power system from Cummins Power Generation for both peaking and standby power.
A 20 MW peaking plant of 11 diesel gensets helps giant Tennessee Valley
Authority meet its peak demand during the hot summer months. The plant
is also capable of providing emergency backup power for up to 40% of
McMinnville’s total load.
In addition to disposing of thousands of tons of waste daily from its 193–acre site east of Edinburgh, Scotland, Viridor Waste Management uses two low–Btu gas generator sets from Cummins Power Generation to produce 3.5 MW of electricity from the methane created by decaying rubbish.
With rates soaring for both electricity and natural gas in Southern
California, Western Milling, a large animal feed supplier, decided
it needed to do something to reduce its energy costs. Cummins Cal Pacific,
the local distributor for Cummins Power Generation, analyzed Western
Milling’s need for more economical energy and recommended a combined
heat and power (CHP) or cogeneration system running on natural gas.
William Floyd School District wanted to save money on high on–peak
electric rates at their Shirley, New York campus. Cummins Power Generation provided the school
district with the most cost–effective, low maintenance
and user–friendly combined
heat and power (CHP) solution to generate
nearly all of the electricity, heat and cooling for the during the local utility’s daily peak
usage hours.
World Trade Center São Paulo generates reliable power with Cummins Power Generation saving money on energy costs during peak demand and ensuring power reliability during frequent utility outages.
Cogeneration (combined heat & power)
Cogeneration is an energy management solution for today
Energy is a major contributor to total costs and that is why so many manufacturers, institutions and facilities are looking for energy management solutions. Cogeneration, also known as combined heat and power, can significantly reduce your energy consumption and costs, increase your power reliability, and minimize your greenhouse gas footprint.
Ten good reasons to choose Cummins Power Generation for cogeneration are:
Significant energy savings and greater customer control of energy costs
Increased power reliability and business continuity for critical operations
Proven capital model
Hands–off operations and maintenance with service agreements
Performance warranties
Proven technology using 60 liter or 91 liter Cummins lean–burn gas engines
High heat quality, high fuel efficiency, low emissions
A hedge against rising energy costs
Measurable results
Improve your companies financial, environmental and competitive performance

Good for the environment, good for the bottom line
Cummins Power Generation helps you meet the demand for reliable electric power in a way that is both economical and environmentally friendly. As energy solutions specialists, we design, build and maintain on–site power generating plants that produce electricity by harnessing waste fuels – “free” energy sources such as landfill gas, biogas, coal seam methane, flare gas and more.
What was waste is now a valuable source of energy that can be used in a wide variety of applications:
Solid waste landfill gas
Municipal sewage digester gas
Agriculture waste biogas
Coal mine methane
Flare gas
Engine technology suited to alternative fuels and today’s emissions standards
Ultra–lean–burn technology coupled with engine enhancements specific to the demands of non–standard fuels, make Cummins Power Generation gas generator sets ideas for alternative fuel applications. The result is a gas powered generator set that is already proven in power plant installations on all continents.
