Abstract :
Compared with a battery-only backup power system, engine-generators which are integrated into curbside power nodes, as well as engine generators in standalone telecommunication cabinets, offer cost savings and extended backup times from hours to days and longer. Issues of code and agency compliance are discussed along with some performance criteria for engine generators operating from natural gas and propane
