South & Central America Data Center Generator Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis - by Product Type, Capacity, and Tier

The data center generator market in South & Central America is expected to grow from US$ 284.87 million in 2021 to US$375.51 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.0% from 2021 to 2028

DRUPS devices combine the features of a battery- or flywheel-powered UPS with the power of a diesel generator. An electrical generator with a mass serves as a motor to store kinetic energy in an electro-mechanical flywheel when the mains electricity supply is within specification. When the mains electricity goes out, the flywheel's stored energy is released to power the electrical generator, supplying power without interruption. Simultaneously, the diesel engine takes over from the flywheel to power the electrical generator, generating the required electricity. The electro-magnetic flywheel can continue to assist the diesel generator in maintaining a consistent output frequency. If the mains energy supply fails, a DRUPS often has enough fuel to run the load for days, if not weeks. Data centers looking for alternatives to standard lead-acid battery systems are using the DRUPS in several ways. Some companies rely on flywheel UPS units, which have been modified to give extended ride-through periods. Another option is to deploy UPS systems that use lithium-ion batteries, prevalent in smartphones and laptops but were previously unsuitable for data center operation.

With new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the South & Central America data center generator market at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.
