Following a successful outcome, and as part of Nationwide’s commitment to continuous improvement, we were then involved in adding to the existing system. This required three 1500kVA JCB diesel generators to increase the data centre’s Kw/m². As a JCB power products dealer, APE supplied, packaged and installed the Mitsubishi engine powered generators. The three machines have been individually packaged into bespoke acoustic canopies to achieve 70dbA at 1 metre, incorporating all necessary ancillary equipment. Working together with Imtech Smith, APE developed the control system to allow control of the three new generators, two new mains incomers and two Bus Tie breakers. In addition, there is a ‘Virtual Bus Tie’ arrangement - as well as synchronising the existing generators with the new installation as a single power plant, the design provides a two system solution. This forms two independent island power plants, which under ‘Virtual’ control, provides a synchronised output. ### Posts by Topics - [Case Studies (12)](https://www.appliedpowerengineering.com/blog/tag/case-studies) - [Emergency generator service (2)](https://www.appliedpowerengineering.com/blog/tag/emergency-generator-service) - [generator (2)](https://www.appliedpowerengineering.com/blog/tag/generator) - [Generator control system (1)](https://www.appliedpowerengineering.com/blog/tag/generator-control-system) - [equipment protection (1)](https://www.appliedpowerengineering.com/blog/tag/equipment-protection) - [hospital (1)](https://www.appliedpowerengineering.com/blog/tag/hospital) see all ### Latest Articles [Why Industrial Backup Generators Are Essential For Business Continuity](https://www.appliedpowerengineering.com/blog/investing-in-generators-and-control-systems) [Why Backup Generators for Data Centres Are Essential For Operations](https://www.appliedpowerengineering.com/blog/power-supply-for-data-centre) [The Critical Importance Of Hospital Backup Generators](https://www.appliedpowerengineering.com/blog/hospital-backup-generator-requirements) [New Service - HV, MV, LV Switchgears](https://www.appliedpowerengineering.com/blog/new-service-hv-mv-lv-switchgears) [APE are Motortech Authorised Solutions Provider](https://www.appliedpowerengineering.com/blog/ape-are-motortech-authorised-solutions-provider) [Nationwide STC, Swindon](https://www.appliedpowerengineering.com/blog/nationwide-stc-swindon) [National Grid](https://www.appliedpowerengineering.com/blog/national-grid) [BSkyB](https://www.appliedpowerengineering.com/blog/bskyb) [The World’s largest IT company](https://www.appliedpowerengineering.com/blog/the-world-s-largest-it-company) [Nationwide, Wakefield House](https://www.appliedpowerengineering.com/blog/nationwide-wakefield-house) ### Subscribe to our blog This is a search field with an auto-suggest feature attached. - There are no suggestions because the search field is empty.
