Kigali Arena, the largest sports stadium in eastern Africa, is now open. Located just outside the Amahoro National Stadium in Remera, Rwanda, the 10,000-seat facility was inaugurated in August by Rwandan President Paul Kagame. The arena is scheduled to host the inaugural Basketball Africa League inaugural semi-finals and finals in March 2020, and expected to host the 2021 FIBA Men’s Africa Bask

As the global concern for gas flaring grows, propelled by the World Bank’s Zero Routine Flaring by 2030 initiative, more and more players in the oil and gas sector will be investing in technologies that utilize the unburned fuel to further protect the environment whilst benefiting financially as well.  By combusting flare gas in highly efficient lean-burn gas generator sets, emissions from

Not only that, the Niger International Airport represents a major gateway into the country, expanding Niger’s global connection by servicing both domestic and international routes from its capital, Niamey.  The terminal configuration is a double-sided pier, allowing gates and aircraft parking on both sides, with 16 contact stands and six remote stands. With an area of 120,000 squ

Generator paralleling is a complex topic that has changed drastically from the operator in the early 1970s to today's autonomous microprocessor-based technology. In order for design engineers to design a comprehensive, reliable paralleling system, a good understanding of how paralleling is accomplished is needed. Paralleling encompasses synchronizing, de-energized bus arbitration, sync checks, loa

NFPA 110 defines “Type” as the maximum time, in seconds, that the emergency power supply system will permit the load terminals of the transfer switch to be without acceptable power Type 10, therefore, has a 10-second time to readiness: meaning that a source of electrical power of required capacity, reliability, and quality must be provided to life safety loads within 10 seconds following loss o

The sensitivity of loads to the power quality is often of extreme importance and plays a major role in purchasing decisions. While the utility represents a virtually infinite source of power and the impact of site loads is practically negligible, this is not the case when the supply is made from a finite source of power such as a diesel or gas genset. Understanding site loads and transient perf

In Milan, the new 50-story Allianz Tower required cutting-edge design along with protection against power grid blackouts. Cummins Italy was brought in during the build-out to review layout and technical data, specifying the clean and quiet C2250 D5 generator with additional accessories to set the standard.  In fact, the Cummins Italy team intricately adjusted the generator placement based on

Cummins Turkey’s authorized dealer Mepa Energy attended the fair for the first time to meet with new customers and showcase Cummins technology at one of the largest international forums for the manufacturing industry. Held at the Tüyap Fair Convention and Congress Center, Mepa Energy joined thousands of tech and industrial leaders all focused on the future of factories. The event hosted 1,376 e

Consulting and specifying engineers can earn continuing education credits (PDH/CEU) and keep up on critical technology updates, the latest codes and industry applications. Participants also get a chance to interact directly with Cummins experts through Q&A time.  Presented by knowledgeable engineers, topics are related to designing and specifying onsite power systems. Following a recen

Cummins has been a longtime member of EGSA, and six Cummins staff recently joined over 400 attendees representing generator manufacturers, fuel tank manufacturers, accessory manufacturers, engine suppliers, logistics organizations and engineering firms at the EGSA 2019 Spring Conference. Held in Austin, Texas (USA), this conference was noteworthy for a few reasons. First, it served as a launch

Cummins Turkey provided two Cummins C2250 D5 generator sets for the first and second phases of Vodafone’s office remodel project in Ankara, providing 4,500 kVA of standby power to meet additional power requirements of the building project. As space was limited due to the building design, the two containerized units were installed with one placed on top of the other outside the building. The genera

With a power density of up to 2.0 MW from a 78L engine, which will be displayed on stand, the HSK78G series offers reliable power no matter how extreme the fuel source or operating conditions. This new series represents a bold step into the natural gas area for Cummins, showcasing new technology in a new engine that pushes new levels of efficiency, transient performance and gas variation well beyo
