Power Topic #7002: Digital Control Technology Enhances Power System Reliability and Performance
By Jim Iverson, Senior Applications Engineer
Traditionally on–site power systems depended on analog control systems to provide reliable service to a
facility’s electrical loads. Today, reliable, flexible and user-friendly digital control technology is
available for every on–site power system.
For traditional standby power systems that power only emergency lighting for a small building analog controls
may still be adequate. However with larger on–site and standby power systems, critical 24/7 power needs, more complex
power distribution systems, and a mix of linear and non–linear loads digital controls provide greater performance
capabilities.

Case History: Info Vision Optoelectronics — China
The world's newest LCD screen manufacturer relies on Cummins Power Generation for continuous electrical power.
Ten Cummins Power Generation diesel generator sets compose the standby power system that protects IVO’s
semiconductor production in the event of a utility power failure.
"During maintenance testing procedures, the power system provides an uninterrupted power transfer between
the generator sets and the utility," says Xu Jaizhang, plant manager of IVO. "It also assures us of
continuous power so that we can maintain production in the event of a utility failure. In addition, the Cummins
Power Generation distributor provided extensive training for our staff so that we can operate the standby power
system reliably."
