32 Units 2000kVA Containerized Diesel Generator Parallel System for Data Center

In the digital era, data centers are the core hub of information storage and processing, where uninterrupted power supply is the lifeline of stable operation. For large-scale data centers with high power demand, a reliable, efficient and cost-effective backup power system is not an option but a necessity. Today, we are proud to share our successful case study: a 32-unit 2000kVA containerized diesel generator parallel system, providing a total power of 64,000kVA for a key data center project, perfectly solving the pain points of large-capacity power supply, space saving and cost control.

Project Overview & Core Requirements

The project is a large-scale cloud computing data center located in a technology park, which is committed to providing efficient and stable data storage, computing and cloud services for enterprises and institutions. Due to the high density of servers and the criticality of business, the data center has extremely strict requirements for power supply: 24/7 uninterrupted operation, high stability, rapid response to grid fluctuations, and reasonable control of construction and operation costs.

Against this background, our team customized a parallel power supply solution with 32 units of 2000kVA Cummins containerized diesel generators, achieving a total parallel capacity of 64,000kVA, which fully meets the peak power demand of the data center and provides a reliable backup guarantee for the stable operation of the data center.

Key Configuration of the System (True Project Parameters)

• Generator Quantity: 32 units, each with a rated power of 2000kVA (1600kW active power), 400V/50Hz

• Total Parallel Capacity: 32 × 2000kVA = 64,000kVA (continuous rated power)

• Generator Type: Cummins engine KTA50-G16B+Stamford S7L1D-F4, 40HQ containerized silent type (IP54 protection level, rainproof, dustproof and noise reduction)

• Control System: Deep Sea DSE8610 parallel controller (master control) + independent single-unit controller for each generator

• Electrical Structure: Parallel system integrated in the container, no independent incoming cabinet (core cost-saving design)

• Outlet Cabinet Configuration: 16 outlet cabinets, each corresponding to 2 units of 2000kVA generators; no copper busbar in the outlet cabinet, main air switch specification is 6300A (reserving more than 20% safety margin)

• Control Mode: Support single-unit independent operation and 32-unit unified parallel grid-connection operation

Why This Solution is Perfect for Data Centers?

1. Uninterrupted Power Supply, Guard Data Security

Data centers cannot afford any power interruption, which may lead to data loss and huge economic losses. Our system adopts the Deep Sea DSE8610 high-end parallel controller, which can realize precise synchronization of 32 generators (frequency difference ≤0.1Hz, voltage difference ≤1%), and the parallel switching time is ≤0.5 seconds, ensuring no power interruption during grid switching. If one generator fails, the master controller will automatically isolate the faulty unit, and the remaining 31 units will continue to supply power, realizing fault isolation and ensuring the continuous operation of the data center.

2. Space-Saving & Rapid Deployment, Adapt to Data Center Layout

Data centers usually have limited space, and the containerized integrated design of our generators eliminates the need for separate power distribution rooms, which can be directly deployed outdoors, saving more than 15-20 square meters of floor space. At the same time, we cancel the independent incoming cabinet and the copper busbar in the outlet cabinet, which not only simplifies the structure but also further saves space. The system is pre-wired and debugged before leaving the factory, and only needs to connect the load and the main power supply on site, which shortens the installation period by 3-5 days and realizes rapid deployment to meet the urgent power demand of the data center.

3. Cost Optimization, Reduce Long-Term Operation Burden

For large-scale data centers, cost control is crucial. Our solution achieves double cost savings by canceling the independent incoming cabinet and the copper busbar in the outlet cabinet, saving 30,000-60,000 yuan in equipment procurement and installation costs. In addition, the DSE8610 controller has an intelligent load distribution function, which can automatically start or stop generators according to the actual load of the data center (e.g., automatically stop some units when the load is lower than 30%), reducing fuel consumption by 10%-20% annually and greatly reducing long-term operation and maintenance costs.

4. Intelligent Control & Easy Maintenance, Reduce O&M Pressure

The system supports two control modes: single-unit independent operation and 32-unit unified parallel operation. When the data center load is low, only a few units can be started to achieve energy-saving operation; when the load peaks, all 32 units can be paralleled to output 64,000kVA power. The system supports RS485/Modbus communication, and can realize remote monitoring through computers, cloud or mobile APP, real-time viewing of the operation status and fault records of 32 generators, and remote start and stop operations. Each generator can be maintained independently without shutting down the entire system, which greatly reduces the operation and maintenance pressure of the data center.

Project Value & Customer Feedback

This 32-unit 2000kVA parallel system has been put into stable operation in the data center, successfully withstanding multiple grid fluctuations and load peak tests, and the power supply stability rate has reached 100%. The customer highly recognized the solution: "The system not only meets our large-capacity power supply needs, but also saves a lot of space and costs. The intelligent control and easy maintenance features have greatly reduced our daily operation and maintenance workload, providing a solid guarantee for the stable operation of the data center."
