Caterpillar has introduced the introduction of the Cat DG450 compact pure fuel generator set, a brand new 450 kW ultra-low NOx energy resolution particularly configured for non-emergency functions in non-attainment areas designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Available at Cat sellers all through North America, the brand new fuel generator set is appropriate with the Cat Active Management Platform (AMP), a distributed power useful resource administration system (DERMS) resolution that helps prospects monitor and handle the pure fuel generator units and different Cat energy options. It will be utilized with different distributed power useful resource (DER) system parts, equivalent to Cat Energy Storage Solutions, whereas additionally managing buyer load reductions. The platform screens patterns from the grid and shopper amenities, analyzes alternatives within the power business after which dispatches DERs.
The Cat DG450 compact generator set presents efficiency throughout a variety of pipeline pure fuel gasoline pressures. It is designed for prime energy, peak shaving and demand response functions, making it a flexible alternative for small- and medium-sized industrial and manufacturing functions, agriculture amenities, development tasks, municipal infrastructure, business enterprises and workplace buildings.
“As demand response programs become more prevalent as a means for rapidly expanding power capacity in non-attainment areas, the Cat DG450 compact generator set is positioned to offer customers reliable solutions that can be readily monetized at times of high energy demand,” stated Jaime Mineart, senior vp of Caterpillar Electric Power Division.

Its grid communication {hardware} permits the monitoring and management of a number of belongings to facilitate DERs monetization, whereas pre-cut cable equipment connection choices simplify the set up of as much as 4 models.
The generator set is designed to fulfill the NFPA energy restoration requirement for Level 1 techniques and settle for 100% block load in a single step. It meets ISO 8528-5 necessities for regular state and cargo acceptance and it’s UL 2200 listed.
Hardware is pre-installed on every generator set to allow access to Cat Connect Remote Asset Monitoring, which gives knowledge visualization, reporting and alerts via an online interface or cellular app. Available with a subscription, it permits operators and Cat sellers to trace and handle generator set operation, determine potential issues, carry out distant troubleshooting, handle operational bills and leverage long-term archives of web site efficiency historical past to determine alternatives for additional operational and system enhancements.
