Power topic #7005: Economic risk assessment drives today’s standby power system decisions. By Jim Iverson, Senior Applications Engineer 
Specifying standby power systems used to be mainly a technical process that evaluated electrical loads and federal, state and local electrical codes for maintaining essential lifesafety systems. These codes insured that, in the event of a utility outage, there was enough power to provide minimal lighting, operate elevators in high–rise buildings, and keep alarm systems activated while employees or customers safely exited the building. The solution then was a generator set that met these minimum requirements. But more and more, sizing and specifying standby power systems is becoming a business decision, driven by economic risk assessment and a continually growing dependence on a virtually perpetual source of electric power. Case History: Dubai International Airport — Dubai The Royal Air Wing, part of a $2.5 billion expansion project at Dubai International Airport, was in need of emergency standby power. Cummins Middle East provided a complete critical emergency backup power solution including the design, supply, installation, testing and on–site training for the project. Power Solutions — Fully integrated, reliable, efficient.
