Diesel generators remain the backbone of data center backup power, but traditional testing regimes can generate unnecessary emissions, fuel consumption, and operational costs. As sustainability and air permitting requirements become more stringent, operators are looking for ways to reduce generator run hours without compromising resilience.
This Cummins whitepaper explores how modern engine controls, preventative maintenance practices, and optimized exercise strategies can minimize routine generator testing while maintaining reliability.
It examines the impact of different testing approaches on engine health and emissions systems, including SCR and DPF technologies, and outlines practical steps for extending test intervals safely.
