When a power source is needed, there are multiple options. Generators tend to be the unsung hero of the show. However, there may be some aspects, particularly concerning comparable performance and size of units, that need to be addressed before a decision is made. Here we help you to understand better everything to do with power.
The most important thing to consider when sizing a power generator is the high inrush currents associated with starting electric motors and transformers, which are typically six times the full load current.
Even if starting off with just one unit, it’s worth asking the equipment manufacturer what steps can be taken to parallel a single generator with others to form a modular power plant set up.
Starting from 2019, Stage V emission regulation will be rolled out in Europe. This will have an impact on all diesel power generators. Atlas Copco is gradually updating all diesel engines offered in Europe to be compatible with Stage V.
This application is a power and light calculator to help users with different technical requirements to choose the best Atlas Copco solution for their needs. It includes; generators and light towers sizing, modular power plants set, cables sizing and much more
A battery energy storage system is a sub-set of energy storage systems, using an electro-chemical solution. In other words, a battery energy storage system is an easy way to capture energy and store it for use later, for instance, to supply power to an off-grid application, or to complement a peak in demand.
Atlas Copco’s ZenergiZe range is a good example of how the high-density li-ion batteries can be leveraged to enable a new level of sustainability, flexibility, and usability, without compromising on power. Due to their modular structure, they are an ideal solution for small businesses requiring a versatile power management, as well large applications with multiple units, where they can revolutionize fleet efficiency.
Depending on the application, and the available power source, the unit can be used either as a sole source of power or to enable smart load management to help balance power consumption in demanding applications.
Looking at two application examples helps illustrate the full potential of battery energy storage systems such as ZenergiZe.
