POWERING MYANMAR CUMMINS MYANMAR INSTALLS OFF-GRID POWER TO SUPPORT NATIONAL GRID Off-grid solution for remote town A GROWING NEED FOR RELIABLE ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE

Cummins has provided an off-grid solution to increase the electrical power generation capacity of a remote town in Myanmar.

The Myanmar Ministry of Electricity and Energy created a power purchase agreement with Petro & Trans Co (P&T) to meet the country’s ambitious goal of achieving 100% electrification by 2030, despite the logistical challenges of the diverse landscape. Myanmar ranges from hilly mountain regions in the north that reach up to 6,100m high to the coastline that borders the Andaman Sea in the south. Currently, the country’s electrification rate is lower than 50%. 2 One of P&T’s projects was to provide electricity to Kyaw, a scenic riverside town in central Myanmar. P&T selected Cummins DKSH Myanmar (CDM) to design and commission the project. Using eight HSK78G natural gas generator sets as the prime power source, CDM and P&T met the scope requirements while providing operational cost savings due to the compact 12-cylinder design. Operational costs were saved because the generators need 40% fewer spark plugs and cylinders and have lower fuel and lube oil consumption, which helps the HSK78G achieve the industry’s longest major overhaul service cycle of 80,000 hours.

Ranging from hilly Due to COVID-19 restrictions and political unrest in the region, As of today, the electrification rate of the country providing onsite support was a unique challenge. Cummins teams in the United Kingdom and the United States provided remote support to CDM to prevent delays. The efficiency of the remote support methodology meant the CDM team successfully completed testing, tuning, commissioning and synchronising of the generator sets.

One of the projects by P&T aimed towards providing electricity to Kyaw, a scenic river-side town in central Myanmar. The IPP sites required efficient, intelligent and reliable technologies that produce lower emissions as a step towards the country’s commitment to a more sustainable future. By supporting P&T with innovative, enduring solutions, Cummins is helping to bring Myanmar closer to complete electrification by 2030.
