MTU Onsite Energy offers complete power system solutions: from standard backup to mission critical power to continuous and peak power, to combined heat, power and cooling.
Standby Applications
Standby applications provide an uninterrupted backup power supply where operations are critical. Gensets from this application group are used wherever power outages put lives at risk, result in economic loss or where an emergency power supply is required by law.
Standby Power (3D)
Standby Power ratings apply to installations served by a reliable utility source. The standby rating is applicable to varying loads for the duration of a power outage. No overload capability is available.
Quoted ratings are in accordance with ISO 3046 and represent maximum power.
Typical Applications: commercial and government office buildings, water treatment plants and pumping stations, healthcare and hospitals, communications and cell towers, correctional facilities and public safety, hotels and multi-unit residential, schools, colleges and universities, airports

Data Center Continuous Power (3F)
Data Center Continuous Power ratings apply to data center installations where a reliable utility power is available. The Data Center Continuous Rating complies with Uptime Institute Tier III and IV requirements. At constant or variable load, the number of operating hours is unlimited.
Quoted ratings are in accordance with ISO 3046 and are capable of 10% overload.
Typical Applications: data centers

Prime Applications
Prime power applications are designed to operate for long periods. They are primarily used in remote locations with limited access to the public utility grid or for continuous power generation applications such as combined heat and power production (CHP) or biogas applications using an opportunity fuel source such as landfill gas or digester gas.
Continuous Power & CHP (3A)
Continuous Power ratings apply to installations where one or several generator sets serve as utility power. At constant or varying load, the number of generator set operating hours is unlimited.
Quoted ratings are in accordance with ISO 3046 and are capable of 10% overload.
Typical Applications: natural gas or biogas (i.e. digester gas, landfill gas, etc.) fueled power generation, peak shaving, co-generation - combined heat and power (CHP), and tri-generation - combined heat, power and cooling (CHPC)
