Aggreko's Fuel Management Services
When everything’s operating perfectly, the last thing you need is to run out of fuel and experience downtime. Cleaning up a spill, or fixing equipment damaged by contaminated diesel are also hassles you just don’t need. We can beat these headaches by:
- Calculating your fuel needs, based on your usage – and scheduling deliveries to match usage.
- Helping out when you have a fuel emergency – day or night.
- Making sure our fuel is the highest quality and free from contaminants.
- Providing the right size fuel tanks for maximum efficiency.
- Removing the risk of spillages.
Frequently Asked Questions
Grid emulation is the method we use to deliver a temporary grid that can support renewable energy projects in their testing and commissioning phase. Where utility grid energy is unavailable, we design turnkey temporary grids that can push energy into renewable equipment for testing or receiving energy to validate performance.
This approach allows developers and operators to test performance earlier in the process, resolve issues sooner, and switch on with confidence from day one.
Grid interconnection delays can leave projects in limbo, resulting in missed Commercial Operation Dates and financial penalties. Aggreko’s grid emulation solutions allow solar developers to simulate grid conditions and conduct full system testing, ensuring assets are fully operational and ready for connection as soon as utility is available. This reduces the risk of delays and prevents costly downtime.
We help contractors conduct commissioning and testing by providing generators, load banks, and specialty distribution gear before grid connectivity is available. This enables a more flexible approach to testing, so providers can start selling energy with confidence from day one and meet their project timelines.
