Our flexible, scalable designs are built to align with your specific goals, scope, and budget, ensuring your testing infrastructure meets current needs while preparing for future demands. Read this document to learn about ACS’ tailored generator set testing services and processes including:
- Power regeneration for a cost-effective genset testing procedure – ACS integrates power regeneration solutions, like grid paralleling and regenerative load banks, to maximize efficiency and reduce genset testing costs. In one project, ACS helped a marine propulsion manufacturer export power back to the grid, significantly offsetting fuel costs.
- Quality assurance and compliance – As an ISO-certified organization, ACS ensures generator set testing facilities comply with all codes and insurance requirements, with every component meeting industry standards and regulations.
- Acselerant™ control for accurate, repeatable results – Our Acselerant software platform enables flexible, scalable process control and data acquisition specifically for genset testing, managing critical support functions like fuel delivery, cooling, and power management. Its open architecture ensures precise, repeatable test conditions today, while allowing easy adjustments and expansion as your genset testing needs evolve, from basic production tests to advanced R&D analysis.
- Addressing fuel safety – ACS designs custom fuel safety systems for volatile fuel testing, featuring automated emergency controls, ventilation, and blast protection. For a client testing diesel and bio-fuels, ACS integrated a Safety PLC to monitor gas levels and control valves, exceeding safety standards.
ACS delivers fully customized generator set testing solutions by working closely with clients to create cohesive systems where support, process control, and data acquisition seamlessly function together. Managing the entire project from design to commissioning, ACS ensures each setup is tailored to the client’s unique needs, including key parameters like measurement, control, and data logging.
With a vendor-neutral approach, ACS provides flexible genset testing procedure options that align with testing goals, budget, and operational requirements. By offering a single point of accountability, ACS eliminates delays and miscommunication, delivering scalable solutions that meet both current and future testing demands.
