Watch now: Cummins Expert discusses the Evolution of Data Centers, Healthcare, BESS, Microgrids and More!
By Cummins Inc., Global Power Technology Leader
As today’s grid faces increasing strain from rising demand and the transition to cleaner energy, downtime is simply not an option for mission-critical operations. Healthcare facilities, data centers, and essential services depend on power that never fails. That’s why microgrids, including new technologies like battery energy storage systems (BESS), are becoming a key solution providing reliable, resilient energy to keep critical systems running no matter what.
In this insightful Quick Chat with Microgrid Knowledge, Cummins Business Development and Marketing Manager Dinesh Balaji Ramaraj discussed why on-site generation supported by microgrid control is key to meeting modern energy demands at critical facilities.
This expert session dives into the following:
- Onsite Power for Mission Critical markets – Discover why onsite power is crucial to healthcare facilities and transportation hubs.
- The need for Microgrid Solutions – Explore how microgrids are becoming the frontline infrastructure for mission-critical applications like healthcare facilities and airports.
- Staying ahead of the AI and data capacity race – Learn how Cummins is facing up to the surge in data centers, the fastest-growing power demand segment across North America and beyond.
- Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) role in a microgrid – understand how BESS complement generator sets in a microgrid configuration.
As the reliance on power becomes greater and the cost of downtime rises, microgrids in mission critical applications are becoming more integral for safe and reliable power. This session emphasizes the importance of staying proactive and adopting practical, future-ready energy solutions.
