Reliable welding power with battery energy storage systems

Traditional welding operations often rely on grid connections or diesel generators, both of which can be unreliable. Voltage fluctuations, power surges, or temporary outages can lead to inconsistent weld quality, increased rework, and project delays. This is especially problematic on remote construction sites where grid access is limited or unstable. Aggreko’s BESS provides a stable and consistent power source, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted welding performance, improving productivity, and reducing downtime.

Diesel-powered generators have significant fuel and maintenance costs, which can quickly add up over a project’s duration. Additionally, inefficiencies in generator load management lead to unnecessary fuel consumption and wear and tear. With BESS, energy is stored and deployed efficiently, reducing fuel dependency and lowering operational costs. When paired with a hybrid system, BESS optimises generator usage by running on stored energy when demand is low, resulting in fuel savings and extended generator life.

Construction companies are under increasing pressure to reduce carbon footprints and comply with stricter emissions regulations. Diesel generators contribute to CO₂ emissions and noise pollution, affecting both the environment and workers on-site. Aggreko’s BESS minimizes emissions by reducing generator runtime and enabling clean energy storage, leading to a quieter, greener, and more sustainable construction site. This not only supports corporate sustainability goals but also helps contractors meet regulatory requirements and community expectations.
