Versatile power solution for offshore market leader

Balancing power demands with an advanced energy storage and generator solution

Hybrid energy storage QAS Total Solutions France Modular power supply

A leading company in the French offshore market needed a flexible and reliable power solution for a sensitive application with variable power demands. Atlas Copco Rental provided a tailored solution to ensure consistent performance while maintaining a small footprint and minimal environmental impact. Sustainable power in action!

Maximum power, minimal footprint

A prominent offshore client was planning to install equipment in a new French wind farm and faced the challenge of needing both high and minimal power requirements. During the initial phase, substantial power was needed for a short period to install the equipment, requiring a robust solution to deliver large amounts of energy quickly. In contrast, the subsequent phase required minimal power over an extended period, necessitating a flexible solution to manage lower energy demands while maintaining operational efficiency.

TwinPower activated

Atlas Copco Rental delivered a dynamic power solution by combining a TwinPower QAC 1450 generator set with a ZBC 250-575 energy storage unit, all stacked together. This innovative combination allowed the TwinPower unit, containing two compact 725kVA generators, to consistently operate at peak performance, effectively managing both high-demand and low-demand periods.

 

How does it work?

The ZBC energy storage unit captures excess energy from the TwinPower generators during periods of low demand. When power demand increases, the ZBC unit releases the stored energy, enabling the TwinPower unit to maintain its perfect frequency level. This system not only ensures efficient power management but also adheres to stringent offshore standards.

Our offshore client required a solution that provided efficiency, redundancy, and a small footprint. Atlas Copco Rental delivered by integrating the ZBC energy storage unit with the TwinPower generator—a powerful and dynamic combination allowing 24/7 peak performance. This implementation highlights our commitment to delivering reliable and sustainable energy solutions, effectively addressing the unique challenges of the offshore industry with cutting-edge technology and high-performance systems.
