agree  claude-andrew
4 hrs
disagree  Daryo: "évolutivité" [= "scalability"] is for sure the right term for this ST, but it relates to the whole setup [the "power solution configuration"], not to any one individual module as your formulation would imply

disagree  Daryo: each of them has 1 MW capacity - you can't increase that // what you can do is to combine many of them together, but what you increase then is the total capacity of all of them combined, not of any individual generator [as you put it]

modular one-megawatt generators
groupes électrogènes modulaires d'un megawatt


Explanation:
the term to translate is in fact ONLY

modular one-megawatt generators = one-megawatt generators that can be modules used to build one much larger source of electrical power.

modules: same elements repeatedly used to build a bigger set, here the same "one-megawatt generators" used to create a set of 2,3, 4 ... of them

--------------------------------------------------

in this sentence "scale" is a verb, "power configuration" [comprising 1, 2, 3, ...."modules" generating 1MW each] is what is being "scaled" (thus unsurprisingly this "power solution" is qualified as "scalable"); that corresponds to the concept of "évolutivité"


Évolutivité

L’évolutivité est un critère de conception primordial des alimentations de secours modernes : les systèmes d’alimentation et de contrôle-commande doivent croître au rythme de la demande énergétique et des nouveaux besoins et priorités des clients, sans sacrifier à la qualité ou à la fiabilité, ni entraîner d’arrêts.

L’extension d’un datacenter est souvent progressive. Un système d’alimentation d’urgence moderne doit fonctionner à plein, depuis le début de l’exploitation jusqu’à l’ultime agrandissement du datacenter. Il faut donc étudier avec soin l’alimentation électrique, l’architecture de communication, le contrôle-commande et l’infrastructure du bâtiment. Utiliser des composants standardisés, garantissant une compatibilité amont/aval et une disponibilité sur le long terme, permet de faire évoluer et de déployer le système sur plusieurs années, sans avoir à tout remplacer.

=>
IOW our "1MW generators" are modules that can be used as part of a scalable power supply configuration

regarding modularity / scalability:

bricks are all the same - the wall can be bigger or smaller.

modules (producing each 1MW) are all the same and can't be modified, the power supply assured by a combination of several of them can be changed / is "scalable".

agree  Tony M: I think Asker's real issue was exactly that,: how to translate the verb 'to scale' here, which you haven't really fully addressed
7 hrs
disagree  GILLES MEUNIER: confusion avec generator sets
1 day 10 hrs
agree  Johannes Gleim: 1-MW-scale of modules. Units scalable by adding further modules.
