How does hybrid mode work?
In the hybrid mode, the ZenergiZe units are combined with any diesel generator to enable smart load management. This mode is ideal for improving performance in an application like a construction site, where the batteries can be used to feed low loads – such as site lighting – during nights, or to supply extra power during peaks in demand. The generator will recharge the batteries when the demand for power is low, optimizing efficiency and ensuring that the batteries are ready for use when needed.
The hybrid mode is designed to help operators improve sustainability and cut costs. It can reduce the daily fuel consumption by up to 50 percent, compared to a standalone diesel generator, significantly reducing the cost of operations, and saving approximately 100 tons of CO2.
In addition to green operation, a key benefit of the hybrid mode is that the battery system can help extend the lifespan of the generator while optimizing its performance. In practice, this means that a 40 percent smaller generator can be used for the same application. This helps operators reduce fuel consumption by a corresponding amount, improving sustainability. A smaller and lighter unit also translates to reduced fuel costs during transportation, and the small footprint makes the unit an easy fit for a range of applications from busy construction sites to crowded events.
