Everyone’s focus is on Net-Zero. Investors, customers, and governing bodies want lower emissions, but do users have a strategy in place to meet these ambitions?

Making these changes is easier said than done, but Aggreko, extended its energy storage range to make it easier for construction projects to decarbonize without compromising on reliability.

energy transition 

Power requirements for sites often run at contrasting levels at different times of the day

Aggreko designed and produced their extended range of batteries so more businesses can adapt to the energy transition and give everyone the opportunity to plan a cleaner strategy for the future.

But the construction sector has different demands. Power requirements for sites often run at contrasting levels at different times of the day sometimes it results in generators running at less than 25% of their capacity. That same generator will be responsible for peak hour energy supply too.

Efficient ways 

Aggreko batteries are the missing puzzle piece. It combines two types of power for maximum results. Its efficient generators handle the rise in power demand for users' site operations.

But when demand is lower, Aggreko batteries kick in. This lowers fuel consumption, emissions, and cost too and users still get the same, dependable power their project requires.

Government regulations on CO2 and NOx are now attainable. Users' long-term targets don’t have to suffer and their deadlines can still be met. Aggreko's adaptable hybrid power ticks all the boxes for a wide range of sectors, so no matter where users are and what they need, they can have the cleaner power that today’s world is demanding.

How does it all work?

Aggreko's responsive, intelligent software runs as a control system within the batteries

Aggreko's responsive, intelligent software runs as a control system within the batteries. It manages the variable loads in an automated way which means it can turn the generator off when there’s a period of low energy consumption and switch it back on to recharge the battery or there’s a ramp in power demand.

Aggreko can craft a tailored solution for users' sites with its modular equipment and experience.

Project implementation

Aggreko knows a constant level of power is non-negotiable. But instead of running generators 24/7, its hybrid energy will reduce generator run time. This is ideal for drying rooms, surveillance booths, cranes, portable buildings (e.g. Portacabins), or employee booths.

Users' project operations will continue to benefit from uninterrupted power, while simultaneously reducing emissions and costs.

Key benefits of a hybrid power system

  • Lower emissions.
  • Less fuel burned.
  • Reliable energy supply.
  • Noise reduction.
  • Complying with local emissions/regulations.
  • More sustainable brand image.
  • Reduction of maintenance hours.
  • Managing variable loads more efficiently.
