Power solutions

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.

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.

What is a battery 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.
