In rural parts of Oman where there is no connection to the grid, villages rely entirely on the local power station, where Cummins generator sets run 24/7 in continuous operation. During winter, the load on the plant is minimal as there is less cooling required. However, with summer approaching, the load will increase and power requirement will thus be critical. With a need to upgrade the
To understand more about electric vehicles and the opportunities they present, it’s important to look at what they are and how they work. What is a fully electric vehicle? Fully electric vehicles (EVs) are powered by an electric motor instead of a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE). The drivetrain, which supplies power to the vehicle’s axles, gets power from a collection of rechar
UCEM Chimborazo is the second largest cement plant in Ecuador, currently producing around 1.6m tonnes of cement annually.

“It’s worth celebrating. It’s worth stopping and wondering what got us here,” Linebarger said of the 100-year milestone the company reached in February. “…But we must also look forward. We need to ask ourselves, ‘What do we need to bring with us and what do we need to change and improve upon, in order to compete for the next 100 years?’” He said Cummins anniversary theme, Challenge the Impossib
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
