European Grid Code Compliant generator sets shipped to customers
Cummins Power Generation, one of four business units of Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) announced that the certified Grid Code Compliant generator sets have been delivered successfully to a customer in Germany. Grid codes have been introduced to help improve the stability of today’s power grids that have become reliant on numerous renewable energy sources.
The generator sets are the result of 18 months of design and development by the Cummins Power Generation plant in Manston, Kent, UK.
Compliance for power generation plants that connect to the grid is already a legal requirement in Germany, with many other countries soon to follow suit. Independent testing house DNV GL has validated the Cummins Power Generation 60-litre and 91-litre lean-burn gas generator set range as fully compliant with the grid code requirements of Germany, France and Italy.
