In today's fast-paced digital age, generator asset monitoring has become essential in ensuring the reliability of backup power.

UPS systems provide essential short-term backup power supply during blackouts or voltage fluctuations, allowing enough time to switch to a secondary power source or to shut down your systems safely. Let’s look into what a UPS can do for you.

Among the most commonly used generators are natural gas generators and diesel generators. Let’s discuss the two and help you decide which option might be better for your business.

Propane-air systems are becoming increasingly popular as an alternative option for back-up power. Let’s outline what propane-air systems are, how they work, and why they could be the perfect solution for your business.

For businesses in an isolated area, or with a less than-reliable utility, operating equipment can become difficult. One way to solve this is by investing in a microgrid system as an alternative to operating solely under the utility grid. Let’s learn what microgrids are and how they can be used to support a business’s power needs.

With the latest advances in technology and the ever-evolving energy needs of modern businesses, it's more important than ever to assess whether your generator is meeting your electrical needs. Let’s dive in and explore the key factors that businesses should consider, to ensure that their generators are ready when they're needed most.

Keeping your operations running smoothly is essential for any successful business. This also applies to power generation systems. To ensure that your generator works properly when needed, having a regular maintenance and testing program will help everything function as intended. Let’s explore the reasons why you should invest in such a program for your power-generating equipment.

Do you have a facility in a remote location? Does the quality of power impact your sensitive equipment? Is the local utility power supply unreliable or non-existent? Consider generating your own electricity. Let's explore why businesses should consider prime power systems and how to utilize them.

Peak hours occur when the demand on the electrical grid is the highest. These times can lead to heightened utility power costs. Let’s discuss the benefits of peak shaving and how it can help businesses save money.

The energy landscape is changing, and businesses need to be prepared. The development of biogas generators offers a reliable and efficient way to generate power for your business, with little environmental impact and waste. Let’s take a closer look at how generators utilize biological matter to produce reliable power for your business.

As climate change becomes an increasingly pressing issue, businesses are looking for ways to reduce their environmental impact. One carbon neutral solution is solar power generation. Solar energy is a renewable source of energy that can be used for a supplemental means of power generation. Let's take a closer look at the benefits of implementing solar power generation for your business.

Standby power generation systems are used to provide backup electrical power in the event of an outage. They are essential for businesses that rely on a constant supply of electricity to operate, but they require ongoing management and maintenance to maximize their value. Let’s discuss the key considerations when it comes to managing standby power generation system assets.

As the inevitable forces of electrification and the closing down of the fossil fuel industry in the US collide, the impact will play out through the nation’s electrical utility grid. Investing in backup power generation systems now will ensure your business stays up and running protecting your equipment and data no matter what emergency may arise.

For businesses that rely on electricity, standby power generation is a must-have. Let’s explore the key benefits of standby power generation for businesses.

Usually, you have just one power source to a building, the utility power, but when you want maximum power resiliency you may elect to install multiple sources of energy in case of utility failure.

Extreme cold weather has the potential to cause many problems. Once temperatures reach sub-zero utility power becomes more and more unreliable as temperatures keep dropping.

IEA has completed the installation of Diesel Oxidation Catalyst systems (DOCs) on its fleet of standby diesel generators. The catalyst systems will provide for a 90% reduction in carbon monoxide and other pollutants from the diesel exhaust.

When considering whether to undertake a large capital expenditure for your plant, whether it is an onsite power generation system or a renewable energy installation, you no doubt will perform a financial evaluation to justify the expenditure.

In a previous blog article, I had described a solar power generation installation that IEA has completed at one of its facilities. This installation has been in service for a little over a year now, and we have collected enough data to confidently assess its performance.

Have you ever considered operating your existing standby generator(s) preventatively for storm-running purposes? Under what circumstances would I use my generator for storm running? What is the cost to my business of an outage caused by an electrical disturbance? And just what is the battery running in the first place?
