BESS Helping Support Construction Sites
Sector:
PROBLEM
Cranes are one of the most demanding pieces of equipment on site and often require a lot of energy from the grid that some sites cannot achieve and maintain.
Traditionally, large diesel generators are used to power cranes. Many may be inefficient, contributing to high emissions and high fuel supply, idle sitting generators also add to overheads and inefficiencies.
Construction companies are want more efficient solutions to power their sites, which help their corporate responsibility, making them sustainable, adding value to their ESG goals.
SOLUTION
Battery Energy Storage Solutions (BESS) for construction sites are increasingly being utilised for extra support to bridge energy demands on site.
By introducing a BESS to assist power supply not only brings sustainability but can also be a more cost effective, more efficient means of powering heavy equipment such as tower cranes. BESS can also be applied to other energy needs on site, such as night lighting systems.
A hybrid power package to assist this could combine a generator, battery unit, and smart AMF panel to keep cranes and lighting running smoothly. During the day, the generator and battery work together to power crane operations efficiently helping with peak shaving. At night, when only the aviation lights are needed, the battery takes over, cutting fuel use, reducing noise, and keeping your site compliant without running the generator all night. The result is lower fuel bills, fewer emissions, and a quieter, more reliable site.
