Expert, reliable support for your battery farm
We partner with battery farm owners, operators, developers, manufacturers, and independent energy producers to mitigate risk by providing flexible temporary energy.
Every renewable energy project faces major timing risks. Delays in grid connectivity and problems with suppliers can lead to missed milestones and become obstacles to effective testing and commissioning. Battery farms, however, face an even more acute risk: Without proper storage conditions, batteries’ performance degrades rapidly in the summer heat, threatening their performance and your warranty.
With extensive experience in renewable energy, we support battery farms with 24/7 auxiliary energy for essential temperature control equipment and load banks to enable testing and commissioning.
With our support, you can:
- Keep batteries in optimal condition until they’re ready to use with our cooling solutions
- Validate battery farm performance before you go live
- Mitigate the impact of delays to grid connectivity by using a temporary “grid emulation” solution to run load bank tests
- Optimize commissioning to reduce emissions and costs
- Undertake maintenance without costly downtime
From grid emulation to battery commissioning
- 24/7 auxiliary energy to maintain the right temperatures for storing your batteries on site. Our engineered designs provide generators to power cooling solutions that automatically come online when temperatures rise. All with a focus on sustainability to help you keep your emissions under control.
- Grid emulation for testing and commissioning, using generators, load banks, transformers, and load control panels to create a temporary grid. This allows you to test earlier and more often. Our generators are also capable of paralleling with automatic load controls, allowing you to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
- Energy for emergencies and maintenance, including temporary generators that you can use to maintain service when parts of your plant need to be updated, replaced, or repaired.

FAQs about Aggreko’s battery commissioning and auxiliary energy
Renewable energy projects are notoriously complex and timelines often shift – which means your batteries might not be installed as soon as they arrive on site. Leaving them to sit in the heat will significantly affect performance and potentially invalidate warranties. At the same time, the process of testing and commissioning a battery farm requires consistent energy, often long before you’re ready to be connected to the grid.
Aggreko provides auxiliary energy to support cooling and air conditioning for battery storage, keeping your equipment in its ideal conditions to safeguard performance and reliability. We also provide extensive support for battery commissioning and testing, helping you keep your project on track.
Grid emulation uses a combination of generators, load banks, battery storage and transformers to create a temporary grid that you can use for testing and commissioning.
Working closely with you, we’ll engineer a turnkey solution that’s ready to deploy at a moment’s notice. As a result, you can conduct battery commissioning and testing and make the final stretch of constructing and launching your battery farm more seamless and cost effective.
Engineering, procurement, and construction companies burden a great deal of risk for their customers, undertaking complex projects while depending on a network of suppliers to be on time and on budget. We can help mitigate this risk – and the likelihood of delays – by providing turnkey energy from individual generators for testing equipment to full micro-grids for commissioning.
