THE BRIEF
Problem We Helped Solve
Our customer needed a reliable temporary power solution to keep a multi-tenancy commercial precinct operational while permanent grid connection was delayed. The site housed four active tenancies – a gym, swim school, dentist and GP clinic; each requiring continuous, dependable power to stay open and trading. A standalone diesel generator sized to the full peak load would have meant higher fuel costs, constant noise to the tenancies, greater maintenance overheads and a larger emissions footprint.
Alternatives Assessed
A 300kVA generator running 24/7, sized to match the site’s equivalent loads without a BESS.
THE POWERSHIFT SOLUTION
POWRBANK MAX units are a large-scale mobile battery system designed for high-powered and long-duration commercial, industrial and grid applications
THE HIGHLIGHTS
The hybrid battery-genset solution kept four separate tenancies trading through a critical grid delay, with the Developer praising the setup for its reliability, ease of operation and cost savings compared to a standalone diesel approach.
