The importance of power generators and load banks for data centers

Data centers are essential for businesses, storing critical information that, if lost, can cause significant damage. To ensure continuous operation, it’s crucial to have power generators working alongside UPS systems, providing energy in case of grid failures. Choosing the ideal generator involves analyzing type, size, fuel, and location, with options ranging from 750 kVA to 1000 kVA. Preventive maintenance and regular testing with load banks are essential to ensure the proper functioning of backup systems.

Renewable Energy on the Rise

Bloomberg, through its energy sector analysis arm, Bloomberg New Energy, released a study indicating a significant drop in wind and solar energy costs in the coming decades. According to the study, this trend is expected to accelerate the adoption of renewable sources. Researchers predict that solar energy costs will fall by more than 60% by 2040.

Power Quality: How to Prevent Losses in Your Industry

The Federal Government recommends using generators to protect industries against fluctuations and interruptions in power supply. Poor power quality can lead to significant losses, including equipment failure, production loss, and additional costs. A stoppage of just 2 minutes can cost up to R$ 135,000, while a 1-hour interruption can reach R$ 750,000. Installing backup generators is essential to keep production stable and avoid financial losses.

Retail Shows Signs of Recovery and Boosts Supplier Chain

The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) has just released its Monthly Trade Survey (PMC), which indicated a growth in retail sales in April after two years of decline. The best performance was seen in the areas of clothing, construction materials, and.

The use of technology in the development of new engines

Technological innovations boost the national industry, making it increasingly competitive against major international players. The power generator industry is no exception. Since the 1970s, when the country’s infrastructure investments encouraged the use of generators, advancements in the sector have been increasingly significant.

Diesel power generator: advantages and applications

The choice between diesel or natural gas generators depends on various factors such as efficiency, operational cost, and operating conditions. While diesel generators offer higher energy efficiency (36-41%) and lower cost per kWh, gas generators are less polluting and do not require fuel storage. The decision should consider the intended use, whether for emergencies, construction, or continuous operations, as well as aspects like maintenance and environmental impact.

Drought in the Northeast Creates Opportunities for the Temporary Energy Sector

After the rainy season ends in the Northeast, local reservoirs continue to have low water storage levels, and the risk of rationing remains high. In this scenario, the Castanhão reservoir, which supplies the greater Fortaleza area in Ceará, is at 5.5% of its capacity, which is 6.7 billion liters of water—a situation deemed critical by the National Water Agency (ANA).

May has a red tariff flag

Lower than expected rainfall at the start of the year led the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) to activate the red tariff flag (level 1), which will be in effect throughout May. This means an additional charge of R$ 3.00 for every 100 kWh of energy consumed.

Renewable Power Generation: How It Works

The renewable power generation market is expanding in Brazil, with wind and solar sources taking the spotlight. The country has 167 wind farms and 74 solar plants under construction, with wind energy expected to become the country’s second-largest source by 2020. Wind generation grew by 61.5% in the first two months of 2017, producing 3,495 average MW. Tecnogera is active in the sector, providing commissioning and load bank supply for plants, ensuring quality and safety in performance testing.

Growth in energy consumption boosts temporary power generation market

The 2.5% increase in energy consumption in the country reflects the recovery of the Brazilian industry, which relies on energy as a primary input, representing up to 40% of costs. To cut expenses, companies are turning to temporary power from generators, which can save up to 30% during peak hours. Tecnogera offers comprehensive solutions with…
