The alternating fuel to battery HPS3K is the latest offering in
Aggreko’s power automation portfolio of technology applications.
Ideal for the construction industry, HPS3k allows onsite generators
to switch from their daily high-load power capacity demand to a
battery source when lower power requirements are needed to keep
jobsite lights, security systems and computers running.
HPS3K eliminates idling, cuts fuel costs by 50%, and reduces
emissions, regardless of the fuel source. For one year-long
construction project, five Aggreko HPS3K units providing 500
kW of total power delivered $1,500 to $1,600 in fuel savings per
week — more than $80,000 in savings in
one year.
The application also increases uptime, as it increases
reliability with Tier4 technology and reduces failures associated
with overheating and excessive idle time.
“Aggreko’s engineers set out to design a minimal-load demand
solution for our industrial customer segment,” said Gordy
Broussard, Vice President of Sales, North America for Aggreko. “The
Hybrid Power System 3K is another example of our dedication to
finding customers an innovative technology application that
significantly reduces costs, while also improving operating
efficiencies.”
The HPS3K battery unit requires no maintenance and with its
intelligent, fully automated controls and switching, no manual
intervention. When the primary generator is switched off, the HPS3K
system provides 12.5 hours of a 500-watt load or 2.5 hours of a
3,000-watt load before the inverter charger switches on the main
generator for recharging. While recharging, the batteries continue
to provide load back-up service as needed.
Aggreko Remote Monitoring (ARM) wireless units are found on all
Aggreko generators. The units provide operating parameters to the
Remote Operations Center (ROC) where teams of field-experienced
engineers and technicians monitor generator performance 24/7 and
are ready to respond to potential problems immediately. Performance
data, alerts and service information are available to customers via
an ARM smartphone app.
