As the demand for digital services surges, embracing sustainable practices becomes not just an ethical imperative but a strategic advantage for data centers shaping the digital landscape.

In September 2017, Hurricane Maria devastated the northeast Caribbean. The unrelenting storm destroyed the island of Puerto Rico’s power grid, leaving 95% of its residents without electricity and more than half with no tap water.

Kohler Power Systems launched a web-based version to replace its highly popular Power Solutions Center desktop app used for generator sizing and specification for KOHLER North American industrial products. 

As Savills research cites, data center construction will double by 2025, so ensuring all critical infrastructure is installed correctly first time is essential. 

Utilizing the free Power Solutions Center (PSC) software gives users direct access to technical data on KohlerPower.com, including product guide specifications, building information modeling (BIM) files, and product drawings and genset performance information.

Multiple generators can meet high power requirements and adjust for lower demand. Depending on load, a microgrid designed to deliver 40 MW can run with five generators, two, or even one. 

These new models join a proven series of gensets that continues to provide the highest power density and best fuel consumption at more nodes than competitors between 700 and 4,000 kW, offering cost savings to users.

Powered by the Cat G3516H gas engine, the new module packages a CSA-certified gas train and cooling, noise attenuation, air handling, and other essential components in a weather-resistant, 40-foot container that streamlines transport and deployment while offering exceptional sound attenuation.

Good fuel management should be an integral part of maintenance operations with visual and at-the-tank inspections at the heart of the regime to avoid corrosion, damage, or blockage of fuel systems and engine failure. 

Kohler’s teams of creators around the world are the foundation of the Kohler brand, along with consumers and trade communities who bring the company’s products to life in creative and artistic ways.
