July 09, 2024Data security meets power security
In a hyperconnected world, where information flows in real time and digital operations are mission-critical, data centers have become the backbone of the global economy. In these environments, energy is not just a resource—it’s a guarantee of continuity, security, and trust. Nothing can fail. Every second of downtime translates into financial losses, reputational damage, and operational risks. That’s why having a safe and reliable energy solution is not an option; it’s an absolute necessity.
HIMOINSA, an strategic partner for Data Center power supply
In this context, the genset plays a key role as a critical power supply backup, ensuring that even in the event of a utility power failure, the data center maintains uninterrupted operations. In this regards, HIMOINSA is an strategic partner for power supply in Data Center sector. Why?
HIMOINSA, part of the Yanmar Group, is a manufacturer of Power Technology Solutions that designs and produces generator sets, battery storage systems, lighting towers, automatic transfer switches, monitoring controls and accessories, for backup and continuous power supply.
From mission-critical to backup and continuous power, HIMOINSA provides complete, reliable and efficient diesel and gas power generation solutions wherever reliability is needed. With thousands of installations worldwide and different applications and sectors such as healthcare, hotels, data centres, manufacturing, mining, construction and independent power plants, the company has delivered power solutions for the international market during the last 4 decades ensuring cutting-edge technology, high performance, lower NOx, the most efficient systems and simplified maintenance.
Data centres consume a significant amount of electricity. Due to the fast-growing artificial intelligence and digitalization, the electricity needs from data centres exceeded 2% of the world’s demand and projected to rise to 13% by 2030.
HIMOINSA explores energy optimization strategies for Data Centers back-up & continuous power. Emphasizing the recovery of waste heat to be used in our generator sets. It highlights how this recovered heat can significantly reduce operational fix costs, enhance energy efficiency, and improve sustainability. Its engineering team advise about how the integration of heat exchangers, and the role of solar energy in auxiliary power solutions impact on Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE).
The company has recently launched the HGY series, which has born as a key player in the power generation industry, combining cutting-edge technology in power generation, ensuring highest reliability and superior performance, leading the market in critical mission projects. Packed by powerful GY engines, the HGY series covers power nodes from 1250 kVA to 4000 kVA, and is ready for alternative fuels like hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), and gas and hydrogen in the future.
ENGINE | HEART OF OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE
At the heart of every genset there lies an internal combustion engine, converting fuel into energy. The GY series is a new family of 12, 16 and 20 cylinder engines managed by state-of-the-art electronic control, and with a common rail injection system. It combines the unique combustion technology for high-speed engines with the reliability of medium-speed engines, ensuring high performance and efficiency, supporting operations in extreme conditions, compact footprint, multiple fuel capabilities and low emissions.
The GY engine series is a perfect example of Quality, Efficiency, Reliability and Durability.
generates up to 2,200-bar injection pressure for maximum efficiency, optimizing the combustion pressure curve through multiple injections.
The HGY Series delivers exceptional performance in terms of emissions and power density (up to 37.9kWm/L). The high specific power density reduces footprint and has a great impact on the total life cycle carbon footprint.
The design of the piston head and the fluid analysis is key for engine efficiency and performance. Yanmar has spent thousands of engineering hours in this stage of the development.
Fuel injection makes a huge difference in the power generation application where the speed of response is vital. The ECU can react to sudden changes in speed in milliseconds. Engine starting in less than 8 seconds. This engine can perform within ISO8528-5 G3 class conditions.
SUSTAINABILITY & PUE REDUCTION (Power Usage Effectiveness)
Considering that sustainability has become a top priority, our HGY Series has been designed to ensure a sustainable power supply for mission-critical project:
- Emission Control
To cope with the increasing scrutiny for environmental impacts, our HGY generators are equipped with exhaust after-treatment systems to meet European, German, and British regulations for mid-combustion plants operating more than 300 or 500 hours. The HGY series includes an EPA Tier 2 certified version for emergency applications in the United States, as well as compliance with NEA regulations in Singapore.
- Fuel Flexibility
HGY generators are compatible with renewable fuels such as HVO, its vegetable origin reduces CO2 emissions and lowers the impact on the environment. The HGY series will accommodate the future development of gas and hydrogen generators, significantly reducing emissions and carbon footprint. This is a remarkable step towards environmental responsibility and will help support end-users in their strategy to attain Net Zero. - Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
To validate the reduction in emissions, EPD is provided, which includes comprehensive information on the environmental impact at each stage of a product’s life cycle, helps customers to make sustainable purchasing decisions and implement low-carbon strategies.
FUEL CONSUMPTION | BEST-IN-CLASS
Outstanding performance with optimized fuel consumption is achieved through GY engines’ new common rail high-pressure fuel injection system, piston design and high-power density. The HGY series boasts outstanding, state-of-the-art technology that significantly reduces operation costs and emissions. Thanks to their remarkably low fuel consumption, GY engines are ranked best in class in terms of fuel oil consumption (FOC) optimisation, making them one of the most efficient and competitive options on the market. Fuel consumption remains unchanged with HVO.
RELIABILITY
In data centres, any power failure may affect the continuous operation of IT equipment, cooling systems and related infrastructure, directly leads to potential data loss and innumerable revenue impacts. Reliable power supply is absolutely critical for data centre security where every second counts. The HGY series is designed to provide comprehensive protection against power failures, offering a secure, continuous and reliable power supply. With a response time of less than eight seconds, the HGY series is fully compliant with ISO8528-5 G3 class, ensuring no interruption in the flow of data, minimises the risk of failure and maximises uptime.
SERVICEABILITY & EXTENDED SERVICES INTERVALS
Easy maintenance and accessibility are seamlessly integrated into the design of the HGY series. The HGY Series offers extended service intervals, featuring a top overhaul interval of 10.000 hours and a major overhaul interval of up to 30,000 hours for continuous operation.
