Mining

Whether you’re running an exploration camp, dewatering a pit or powering a processing set-up, we can size a BESS to your loads and charge it from whatever suits the site: generator, solar, small mains supply, or a mix. You can save on diesel, get more mileage from your generators through running them more efficiently, lower emissions and build smarter redundancy into your setup.

  • Cut diesel use and save on fuel spend
  • Handle diverse loads from pumps to processors
  • Power site accommodation without generators running all night
  • Keep critical loads running through generator changeovers
  • Low-emission operation that helps meet emissions targets

FAQs

Can the battery handle the big start-up loads from equipment like pumps?

Yes. Our BESS units are built to take sudden, heavy loads with high start-up currents, where normally generators would struggle and also need to be oversized. We size the battery to meet the requirements of your loads and walk you through all of the detail before deploying a solution.

How much diesel will it save us?

It depends on your loads, the size of the battery and generator, and whether solar is part of the mix. On some sites the battery replaces the generator completely. On others it cuts run-time and lets the generator run at its most efficient load instead of idling. We give you the analysis and assumptions upfront, before you commit so that you can see the numbers for yourself. To find out what it could save on your site, contact us here.

We're a long way from the grid. How do you charge it?

Most remote sites charge from a generator. If solar is available, we can also add this to the mix in a hybrid BESS-generator-solar set-up. The battery will power the load efficiently and when it gets to a pre-programmed state of charge, it will automatically call the generator to charge it. The generator will run at its optimal loading to charge up the battery and then automatically turn off when the battery is full. We can supply both battery and generator as a full turnkey package, or we can work with yours. If you have a generator on site, we will have a minimum set of requirements it needs to meet, which we can discuss with you in advance.

What if our load grows or the site changes?

We have a range of BESS units, so we can recommend the right one for your site from day one and scale it up as your project grows. Or, if your needs change, our versatile fleet means we can swap units in or out at any point. You never have to be locked into one size for the whole job.
