Bergen Engines showcased its Power of 10 microgrid power solution for data centres at the recent Microgrid Knowledge 2024 Conference in Baltimore MD.
As conventional power grids struggle to keep up with burgeoning AI demand, the event highlighted the pressing need for independent power generation.
The Power of 10 is a modular independent power solution comprising multiples of hydrogen-convertible gas-fired 10 MW Bergen/Marelli medium-speed generating sets, incorporating Piller Integrated Power Conditioning & Stabilization (IPCS) technology, which “eliminates the need for UPS and backup generators,” says Bergen. Bergen, Piller, and Marelli are all part of Langley Holdings.
“Infinitely scalable”, the Power of 10 enables data centre operators to grow their microgrids in 10 MW modules as demand increases.
Bergen Engines reports that it has recently been awarded contracts by Oben Group Holdings to supply 9 MW B35:40V20 gensets to manufacturing plants in Lima, Peru and Barranquilla, Colombia, two gensets per plant.
Together with its EPC partner Sampol Ingeniería y Obras, Bergen is also supplying a new propane fuelled 25 MW power plant to Roatán Electric Company to provide power to Roatán Island, Honduras. It will employ three B36:45V20 gensets, to be operated in baseload mode.
