Data center, 80 units of 2,100 kW
- Scope
- about 168 MW of backup capacity; design, supply, installation and commissioning
- Result
- largest data center project of the partner plant
Solution
Site power before grid connection
Grid connection takes months or years, but the site has to start now. Containerized gensets and storage power construction and the first phase, and after grid connection they become its backup.
Key figures
up to 100 MW
supplied within 4 months depending on project location

redundant equipment: after grid connection the units move to backup duty
OS Power schemeWhy sites wait
Connection lead times
Capacity at the right point of the grid becomes available in a year or later.
Construction
Cranes, concrete, welding and site cabins need power from day one.
First phase
A data center, plant or camp wants to start operating before the substation is commissioned.
Solution
How it works
A power module of containerized gensets and storage: primary source first, backup after grid connection.
- ConstructionTrailer-mounted units power the construction site.
- First phaseA containerized power module with storage feeds the site as the primary source.
- Grid connectionThe grid becomes the primary source, gensets become backup.
- BackupThe same units serve as site backup, storage reduces peak demand from the grid.
- primary source
- backup
- unstable
- not available
After grid connection the gensets move to backup duty without replacing equipment.
Stages
| Stage | Equipment | Role of generation |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | trailer-mounted units | primary source |
| First phase | containerized power module and storage | primary source |
| After connection | the same units | backup, test runs |
Lead times depend on power rating, design and plant workload; they are confirmed in the commercial proposal.
