As Southeast Asia’s digital transformation continues to accelerate, data centers’ dependence on power has reached a level far beyond that of traditional facilities. At a major data center in Indonesia, Tide Power has custom-built 10 high-power diesel generator sets with a total backup capacity of 28MVA — forming the core of the facility’s power assurance system.

Project Overview

• Location: Indonesia
• Number of units: 10
• Total capacity: 28MVA (individual units 2500–3000kVA, 50Hz)
• Power supply model: Data center prime/backup power
• Unit configuration: Yuchai MTU diesel engines & Leroy-Somar alternators & Deep Sea controllers
• Commissioning: 2026

Customized Solutions: A Deep Dive into User Scenarios

For this project’s 10 units, Tide Power selected Yuchai MTU engines paired with Leroy-Somar alternators and Deep Sea controllers. This combination has been repeatedly validated in multi-unit parallel and load-balancing scenarios, ensuring precise synchronization during parallel operation — whether in light-load standby or full-load output, system response remains consistent.

When utility power fails, the window for generator sets is extremely narrow — typically requiring startup and full load assumption within 10 to 15 seconds. Yuchai MTU engines are designed for mission-critical scenarios, featuring rapid startup and strong single-step load acceptance, with tested capability to assume 100% of rated load.

Southeast Asia’s year-round high temperatures and humidity consistently above 80% pose a continuous challenge to equipment cooling and long-term operational stability. During the selection phase, continuous output capability under tropical climate conditions was thoroughly evaluated. The matched Leroy-Somar alternator is known for its compact structure, high efficiency, and low failure rate, capable of meeting the demands of long-term operation under harsh conditions.

Uptime Institute Certification: Professional Assurance for Data Centers

The data center Tier classification system established by the Uptime Institute is one of the industry’s most widely recognized reliability standards. Tide Power holds relevant certifications from the Uptime Institute, signifying that our capabilities in the design, delivery, and operation and maintenance of data center power solutions meet internationally recognized standards.

Equipment delivery is only the starting point. Tide Power provides data center clients with specialized operational training and technical enablement — from pre-sales solution design to after-sales remote O&M support — achieving full-lifecycle rapid response and continuously deepening our service capabilities in this demanding sector.

Focused on Data Centers: Multiple Projects Continue to Land

In the data center power assurance sector, Tide Power’s high-quality units and services remain consistently stable and reliable. The company has successively delivered two 2000kVA industrial-grade diesel generator sets for a high-tier data center in Southeast Asia, and 1500kVA containerized generator sets for a data center project in Asia.

As a professional energy solutions provider, Tide Power’s business spans six major segments: diesel and gas generator sets, hybrid energy and energy storage systems, diesel engine pump sets and other general machinery, parts and aftermarket services, and independent power plant projects. Products and services cover more than 100 countries and regions, widely applied across data centers, mines, oilfields, municipal infrastructure, healthcare, and commercial complexes.
