Hybrid Mobile Power System for Construction Sites

PowerSys, LLC recently demonstrated their hybrid power system a mobile light tower, resulting in 50% fuel reduction over light towers powered by traditional fixed-speed generator sets. The integrated system provides a cost-effective way to illuminate construction projects and provide onsite power in a single package. The hybrid energy system was configured to provide power to tower lights and onboard electrical outlets. Integrated energy management controls optimize system performance. The PowerSys hybrid energy system utilizes a combination of battery energy storage, power electronics and generator set. Batteries supply energy to the power electronics, where it is distributed to lights and electrical outlets for powering tools, charging battery operated equipment and other devices.

Energy management controls ensure the integrated generator set automatically starts to charge the energy storage when required. Controls also start the generator set when needed to support large loads on the electrical outlet. Fuel options for the generator set include propane, diesel or other logistical fuels. Renewable energy sources, such as solar panels, can also be utilized to further reduce or eliminate fuel consumption. Renewables are used to charge batteries with green power and stored for illumination at night.

"The PowerSys hybrid energy system is truly a low-carbon solution for light tower OEM's and industries looking for a green solution", said Doug Koeneman, CEO of PowerSys. "It demonstrates yet another application for our patented systems and the ability of our team to optimize energy."

“PowerSys is in the business of developing hybrid energy systems, configured for power generation and energy storage applications. Our goal is to most efficiently utilize limited resources while maximizing the full potential of renewables. The PowerSys Utility In A Box™ system incorporates energy storage, power conversion & conditioning, generation and local distribution in a single platform. Utility In A Box systems are scalable and technology-neutral,” Koeneman concluded.
