Frequently Asked Questions
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) improve power management and efficiency in midstream operations by charging during low demand and discharging during peak loads. This stabilizes power, prevents voltage dips that could disrupt control systems, reduces generator use and fuel consumption, and extends generator life. BESS can be scaled to fit specific load needs at compressor stations, processing plants, and pump stations, ensuring reliable and efficient operation.
Aggreko collaborates with your engineering and operations teams to identify risks and design redundant power systems that keep critical equipment, like compressor drives and SCADA networks, running in all conditions. This includes modular generators, BESS for instant load response, and load-transfer strategies for seamless switching, creating a pre-engineered safety net that ensures business continuity through any disruption.
Microgrids cut costs in temporary oil and gas projects by providing scalable, localized power without expensive permanent grid upgrades. They combine fuel-efficient generators and BESS to reduce fuel use and maintenance, and their modular design allows quick redeployment. Aggreko manages design and operation to maximize uptime and control costs.
Microgrid deployment timelines depend on logistics, site readiness, terrain, permits, transport, and electrical integration complexity. Aggreko’s pre-engineered, containerized systems enable mobilization and commissioning in 1–3 weeks by preplanning fuel supply, testing, and electrical setup. After deployment, remote monitoring is activated immediately to ensure on-schedule operation.
Aggreko’s Remote Monitoring (ARM) continuously collects live data from power assets at remote midstream sites, enabling early detection of anomalies and system performance tracking. The Remote Operations Center (ROC) uses this data to optimize load balancing and generator sequencing, remotely troubleshoot issues, and dispatch field engineers with the right parts and expertise when needed. Together, ARM and ROC minimize downtime, fuel use, maintenance costs, and unplanned visits, ensuring reliable 24/7 operation.
Microgrid technology ensures long-term power resilience in remote oil and gas operations by combining multiple power sources, natural gas generators, BESS, and diesel units, into a self-sustaining network. Automated controls enable seamless islanding during outages and quick load response. This redundancy ensures continuous production, protects safety systems, and minimizes costly downtime when repairs are delayed.
