Jiangsu Data Center Backup Power — 12×1800kW MTU Gensets
Jiangsu, China — 12 Containerized 1800kW MTU 4000 Series High-Voltage Gensets
Project Overview
A data center in Jiangsu needed a dependable backup power system to meet growing business demand and reduce the risk of power interruption. The backup system had to start rapidly when the main supply fails, keeping the server clusters running to protect data integrity and business continuity.
H&C supplied 12 containerized 1800kW MTU 4000 Series high-voltage diesel generator sets as the core backup power source. Each unit is designed for fast start-up, energy efficiency, and reliable operation, with an advanced monitoring system that tracks generator status in real time and detects faults early.
Challenge & Requirements
Rapid Start & Reliability — The data center needed backup power that starts and transfers quickly on mains failure, keeping critical servers and systems running without interruption.
Real-Time Monitoring — An advanced monitoring system was required to track generator status in real time and detect and eliminate potential faults early, keeping the facility protected.
High-Voltage, Compact Fit — The 1800kW high-voltage containerized units had to fit the data center's elevated platform, meeting strict space and safety requirements for a regional digital infrastructure hub.

Solution & Implementation
H&C delivered a customised solution covering detailed power-demand analysis, equipment selection, installation, and commissioning, tailored to the data center's specific environment and operating requirements.
Each 1800kW high-voltage unit is built on the MTU 4000 Series platform and offers stable, reliable, fast-starting, and energy-efficient performance that meets the high standards of data center backup power. The advanced monitoring system tracks generator status in real time and detects and eliminates potential faults early.
The 12 units are installed on the data center's elevated platform, providing reliable standby power to protect the server clusters and support the facility's role as a regional digital infrastructure benchmark.
