Data Center
You have important data. We do, too.
Why choose INNIO to power your data center?
Your data center needs more energy than ever before, but the push for wind, solar, and other renewable electricity generation can lead to instability in the electric grid.
Fortunately, INNIO has a solution. Our gas engine power plants offer fast starts, fuel flexibility—and cleaner onsite power generation.
That´s why more and more data center operators and owners are turning to the experts at INNIO.
Our Energy and Emissions Solution – Gas Engines for Data Centers
With significantly lower emissions and the option of longer run times—compared to standby diesel-fueled generators—INNIO’s 3 MW J620 fast-start natural gas generators can deliver highly efficient and cost-effective electricity when and where you need it. In addition, they can provide benefits to the electric grid, allowing participation in demand response, curtailable tariffs and emergency standby activities, all while avoiding peak charges.
It’s no wonder, then, that INNIO’s J620 natural gas generators are gaining traction with data center and grid operators around the globe. In fact, INNIO has already delivered many of our easy-to-install, containerized, and integrated J620 package solutions worldwide.

TÜV study on the use of INNIO Jenbacher gas engines as emergency power generators in data centers
An individual application analysis has reinforced INNIO Jenbacher’s claim that data centers can use engines to supply backup power, primary power, or a combination of both.
Operational challenges
Data center operation places high demands on engine start and stop times, load absorption, and load shedding. Plus, they require excellent power output as well as electrical and overall efficiency.
Jenbacher engines meet standards with reliable solution
INNIO Jenbacher commissioned the technical inspection association TÜV Informationstechnik GmbH (TÜViT | TÜV NORD GROUP) to study the suitability of gas-powered systems for emergency power supply in high-availability data centers. Prepared in close cooperation with TÜV NORD EnSys, the study concluded that INNIO Jenbacher engines, when configured to satisfy specific data center performance requirements, meet DIN 6280-13, DIN 6280-14, IEC 8528- 5, and IEC 60364-7-710 requirements as well as the TÜViT's TSI.STANDARD as outlined in the report. Because the German gas network does not represent a limitation of availability, local gas storage can be dispensed up to requirement level B or 3 as defined in the TSI catalog.
The engines’ characteristics were examined in terms of voltage and frequency stability, connectable power according to performance class as well as the TÜViT criteria catalog TSI.STANDARD V4.3.
