Standby generators

DEUTZ Power Solutions are the perfect partner for any operation requiring uninterrupted power.

If your mains power fails, DEUTZ has the solution. Our Power Solutions emergency and standby systems are designed to provide reliable alternate power if needed.

Standby generators usually incorporate one or more diesel generators capable of handling critical and emergency loads – and possibly more. Automatic transfer switches (ATS) transfer power from the main utility supply to alternate sources if it fails.

You may have one or more independent emergency power systems. When utility power returns, the automatic transfer switch transfers the electrical load back to it and tells the standby generator to turn off.

Emergency standby generators are essential in the following applications:

Financial institutions, banks, and insurance providers

Losing contact with work and clients, information systems failing and the loss of vital data can all cost businesses time and money. 

A secure supply of electricity is strategically critical for IT systems that are centralised or spread across multiple offices.

Computerised operations are more important than ever for a business to succeed across the global economy. Distribution strategies must be creative, and customers must have easy access to relevant information.

The need to exchange data and provide online access mean that lost or poor-quality electricity supply can cost businesses big money. Standby generators can help prevent this from happening in banks and financial and insurance institutions.

DEUTZ Power Solutions Gensets are the best option for managing backup power systems and ensuring that our customers and their businesses don’t risk expensive power outages.

Hospitals and healthcare institutions

Losing power in a hospitals can have serious ramifications. It is uncommon, but all health care institutions must be prepared for power interruptions.

In a hospital or healthcare setting, guaranteed power is critical as equipment failure can put patients’ lives at risk. Regulations also require them to ensure that they have autonomous and storable back-up energy.

Local council and government

All levels of governments require standby generators in case of a power outage, so they can keep their systems fully operational in a crisis.

Emergency services such as police, fire, and emergency call centres must have power at all times and especially when they are needed, even if the rest of the community has no power.

For example, during a severe disaster, council facilities need power to establish shelters and command centres. Reliable standby generators can protect your emergency management infrastructure.

Water treatment

As essential services that remove physical, chemical, and biological contaminants from wastewater, sewage and water treatment plants must maintain power 24/7.
The electric power the system generates can be used to supply the sewage plant and the thermal heat generated inside the engine during the combustion process can be used for heating the sewage sludge or the whole facility.

In large-scale plants, you can use excessive heat to pasteurise or dry the sewage sludge.
