The challenge

Auckland International Airport was undergoing a major expansion to connect its domestic and international terminals, requiring the addition of new aircraft parking bays.

As part of the project, temporary offices were installed to accommodate more than 50 engineers. Given the airport environment and the project’s two-year duration, a reliable, low-noise power solution was essential to minimise disruption while providing consistent power to the site facilities.

 

What needed to be powered

  • Large temporary offices to accommodate 50 engineers

The alternative

60 kVA Generator running 24/7

The solution

  • Powershift supplied the LX60/125 BESS unit paired with a 60kVA generator as the charging source.
  • Throughout the project, Powershift, in partnership with NES Hire locally, has consistently monitored the units and stayed in touch with the site, proving both reliability and the capability to scale as the project grows.
  • LX60/125

The highlights

  • Over NZD$99k in cost savings Through the first 9 months of operation, significant savings were made compared to operating a 24/7 generator.
  • Reduced generator run time by 77%with the generator only charging the BESS for a few hours per day.
  • Saved EmissionsSaved over 100t of emissions
  • Reduced noiseThe hybrid setup has allowed noise interference to be significantly removed during business hours, as the generator is not operating during these times.
