THE CHALLENGE
Energy for remote worker housing
This oil and gas customer needed a way to provide off-grid energy to a housing camp for its workers, keeping them safe and comfortable while on site.
Their existing MTU generators provided 2 MW of capacity at medium voltage, but they needed another 4 MW to cover all their electricity needs.
This created an extra hurdle, as the additional generators had to synchronise with their existing ones, despite having a different rating, controller, and voltage output.
Compounding the challenge, the site was located in a remote area, in the hottest part of Saudi Arabia.
