Case Study: The Complejo Hospitalario de Navarra achieves reliable standby power with Cummins

Cummins helps expanding hospital with standby power

The Complejo Hospitalario de Navarra in Pamplona, northern Spain, was expanding its hospital facilities with a major modernisation programme and needed reliable standby power to support critical areas such as operating theatres, intensive care, recovery, and laboratories. Cummins was selected to provide a standby power solution for the site, including a 1,800 kW C2250 D5 generator set powered by a QSK50 G4 engine.

Cummins supplied the first of three planned generator sets, installed in a 40-foot PowerBox and managed by a PowerCommand Paralleling 3201 control system. The solution will provide backup power for the entire hospital in the event of a grid failure, with two more Cummins generator sets due to be added as the expansion progresses, bringing the total grid supply requirement of the site to 6,700 kW.
