Remote Area Power Generation Solutions

Hybrid Energy Solutions for Reliable Remote Power Generation.

Hybrid solutions for remote power generation offer several benefits:

• Reliability: By combining different power sources such as bioenergy, diesel generators, and batteries, hybrid systems can provide a more reliable power supply. If one source is unavailable, the system can switch to another source, ensuring continuous power supply.
• Cost-effectiveness: Hybrid systems can reduce fuel consumption and operating costs compared to relying solely on traditional diesel generators. Renewable energy sources like biogas provide a return once the initial investment is made, reducing long-term operational expenses.
• Environmental sustainability: Integrating renewable energy sources into the power generation mix reduces reliance on fossil fuels, leading to lower greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating environmental impact. This aligns with sustainability goals and helps combat climate change.
• Energy independence: Remote locations often rely solely on traditional fuels for power generation, which can be expensive and logistically challenging. Hybrid systems reduce dependence on external fuel sources, promoting energy independence and resilience.
• Scalability: Hybrid systems can be tailored to the specific energy needs of remote locations and easily scaled up or down as demand changes. This flexibility allows for efficient use of resources and optimal system performance.
• Reduced transmission losses: Generating power locally reduces the need for long-distance transmission lines, minimising energy losses during transmission and improving overall system efficiency.
• Community development: Implementing hybrid power solutions in remote areas can stimulate economic development by creating jobs, fostering local expertise in renewable energy technologies, and improving access to electricity, which in turn can enable education, healthcare, and other essential services.
• Remote monitoring and control: Many hybrid systems come with advanced monitoring and control capabilities, allowing for real-time performance tracking, remote diagnostics, and predictive maintenance. This enhances system reliability and reduces downtime.

This type of system is well suited for modular construction and assembly in our factory, where the equipment can be built in a “controlled” environment, hence reducing site costs and subsequent transportation to remote areas.

Benefits of our modular systems include:

• Controlled quality assurance. The modular construction of our power units allows factory testing/pre-commissioning to be completed before the unit is transported to the site. This means we can obtain performance parameter approvals prior to delivery and you are assured of a quality product that performs according to your specifications.
• Economical use of on-site space. The engine, auxiliaries, motor control centre, and switchgear room of each modular unit can easily be designed and arranged to minimise the plant’s footprint on your site. Silencers, radiators, and air intake filters can be positioned on the roof of the modules or adjacent to the modules to ensure that no space is wasted.
• Eneraque has built many remote power plants designed to operate in the harshest conditions, including high ambient and desert locations, and have also built modules to withstand high cyclonic conditions.
• Fast turn-around (from order to delivery) – Modular plants enable us to deliver as complete a package as possible directly to the site. This shortens construction times for power plants (especially those located in remote areas).

  Eneraque turnaround — from order to delivery — for an on-site start-up power plant can be as little as six months. This translates into considerable savings in both construction and installation costs.
