Case Study for End Using

End User: Amazon Web Services

Application: Emergency and standby power for hyperscale data center campuses supporting cloud and AI workloads.

Installation Location / Usage Stage

Installed in dedicated generator yards with acoustic and emissions enclosures.
Integrated with UPS systems, switchgear, and automatic transfer switches.
Operated under regular load-bank testing and emergency start conditions.

Purpose

Provides instantaneous power during grid outages.
Maintains uptime for mission-critical IT and cooling systems.
Ensures compliance with Tier III / Tier IV data center standards.

Effect

Achieved 99.999% uptime across multi-year operations.
Reduced outage-related service disruptions.
Enhanced resilience against grid instability and extreme weather events.

Alternative Power Solutions
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) provide instant response but limited runtime for large facilities.
Utility grid redundancy reduces outage risk but cannot guarantee availability.
Fuel cells offer low emissions but face higher costs and fuel infrastructure challenges.

Therefore, Backup Generators remain the backbone of data center power resilience, delivering long-duration, high-capacity, and proven emergency power essential for hyperscale, colocation, and enterprise data centers worldwide.
