On site hybrid & energy storage

Regardless of your industry, energy is vital to your site. But it’s also becoming increasingly vital for everyone to do their share to reduce pollution. Storing energy when it’s available from renewable sources is an easy way to reduce site pollution. Can you rely on renewable energy to power your site 24/7?

Atlas Copco’s hybrid & energy storage system is the solution. It connects Power Modules to other energy sources, such as solar, wind and hydro, as well as to energy storage stations like batteries.

Whenever possible, the hybrid & energy storage system generates power from renewable sources (solar, wind or hydro). The power module is then used whenever the original energy source isn’t available, for example replacing solar energy at night or providing power during maintenance or repair operations at a wind farm.

Battery energy storage is also important as energy stored in battery modules can be used when it is needed, further reducing fuel consumption.

Hybrid energy storage solutions are often a requirement for many sustainable power projects in remote locations where grid power is not available.

It offers an environmentally friendly alternative to only using a diesel generator, resulting in a significantly lower amount of CO2 emissions.

While the initial investment costs in the renewable energy source can be high, the overall cost per kWh is much lower, leading to a positive payback in the long term.

Initial investment and ongoing maintenance costs can be reduced by opting to rent the power modules. Rental is also an option to bridge seasonal peaks or assist during emergencies.
