The brain of your temporary power solutions
Each power setup comes with its own challenges. From proper sizing, to logistics, fuel needs and managing the different operating systems, the list never ends. At Atlas Copco we want to make our customers’ lives easier by providing an intuitive way to operate our power equipment that can also seamlessly be integrated into existing power systems. Meet the Atlas Copco ECO Controller™, a human- machine interface (HMI) that provides operators with full control over their temporary power setups. It serves as the brain of the operation by optimizing energy generation, distribution, and consumption through advanced data management.
Benefits of the ECO Controller™
Operational freedom for modular power setups
As power demands become increasingly elaborate, being able to connect multiple power sources to form a portable microgrid becomes vital for a lot of operations. In areas where the grid cannot satisfy spikes in power demand or even in remote areas, where grid access is limited, portable power setups can provide the power you need.
Having an adaptive operating system such as the ECO Controller™, enables you to operate multiple power sources from one unified control. Atlas Copco Energy Storage systems also possess the ECO Controller™ as their operating system, making them an essential piece of the puzzle for modular power plants. Enabling the combination of several energy sources, the combination of the ECO Controller™ and our Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) can help rental companies and operators to deploy flexible power, reduce carbon emissions and achieving significant fuel, energy and lifecycle savings.
