Energy for remote worker housing
A unique, specialised, turnkey energy supply
Cost savings and a simpler setup
THE CHALLENGE
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.
THE SOLUTION
To meet the customer’s energy needs, we designed a completely custom installation comprising six modular generator units. This raised the customer’s total off-grid capacity to 6 MW.
We then configured the generators at the right voltage to match the customer’s output, using a specialised controller and wiring setup to synchronise their DSE controller with our own DIEF controller.
THE IMPACT
The concept designed and delivered by our team provided the customer with a reliable off-grid source of energy, rightsized to their needs, which would last as long as they needed it.
What’s more, it offered a streamlined solution that minimised the number of generators required. This meant the customer avoided having to set up a complete power plant, saving them time and money to use on other business-critical projects.
