Power solutions

When it comes to power supply, there are multiple options available. From efficient and sustainable power generators to more innovative solutions, such as battery-driven energy storage systems.

In this section, you will find rich articles that help you understand the different technologies, their applications, and the issues you might face in your daily operations.

Here, you can learn what is an energy storage system, how does it work, how to choose the right operating mode, how to size a solution, and still discover many more topics to extend your knowledge!

Read about Energy Storage Systems:

What is an Energy Storage System

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.

How does an Energy Storage System work

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.

How to choose the right operating mode for energy storage systems

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.

Most efficient applications for Energy Storage Systems

Looking at two application examples helps illustrate the full potential of battery energy storage systems such as ZenergiZe.

Why battery-based hybrid energy storage solutions represent the future

Battery-based Energy Storage Systems used in conjunction with generators have dealt a major blow to the naysayers by combining higher levels of sustainability with more rapid return on investment (ROI) and low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). A hybrid ESS solution will typically pay initial costs back in no more than two years.

How to size a generator

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.

What are the advantages of parallel generators

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.

Stage V for diesel generators

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.

Light The Power App

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

Experiencing Atlas Copco Energy Storage Systems with wind energy

Mark Adams, Sales & Marketing Director at Air Plus, shares his experience with Atlas Copco's range of Energy Storage Systems working in several applications: storing and delivering wind energy, and working in hybrid mode with power generators in construction applications.

E-Air, RTEX and Zenergize customer story

Working underground with an E-Air and an Energy Storage System

At the heart of Brussels, Belgium, construction company Jan De Nul is building a new subway line and station. A complex project, with underground construction in the middle of a vibrant city. Sustainability is high on Jan De Nul’s agenda so when Atlas Copco gave them the chance to try out an electric mobile compressor with Atlas Copco Energy Storage System, they immediately saw the possibilities.

Atlas Copco QAS generators boost snowmaking capacity of Chile ski resort

To combat unseasonably low snow cover and to maintain optimal slope conditions, Ski Portillo in Chile now has five times more snowmaking capacity thanks to the installation of four Atlas Copco QAS generators powering 25 snow cannons.

Atlas Copco helps Raylex create a hybrid generation system to power an autonomous communication system

When Raylex, a specialist in highly complex turnkey projects in the electricity, telecommunications, governmental, and mining sectors, needed to create an autonomous radio communications system as part of its hydroelectric project, it turned to Atlas Copco Power and Flow for a solution.

Atlas Copco provides reliable power to a German Covid vaccination centre

Two Atlas Copco's QAS 5 Stage V generators and a ZenergiZe energy storage system have been powering a Covid vaccination center in Germany, Impfezentrum Münster. These solution ensured that vaccinations were carried out on time.
