Industry application of BESS temporary power solutions
Construction sites
Modern construction demands both flexibility and uptime. In early-stage developments where grid power is unavailable or unstable, a BESS from Volvo provides reliable energy for on-site operations - powering welfare units, charging electric excavators, haulers, and other heavy-duty equipment.
Outdoor events
Large outdoor events demand stable, high-capacity power-often in areas with limited grid access. A BESS provides reliable temporary power distribution for the site, supporting EV-charging and other needs. It's a clean, quiet solution that replaces diesel generators and meets the demands of modern events.
Seasonal or challenging location
In seasonal or temporary locations, such as ski resorts where access to power can be challenging, a BESS is a flexible solution that provides reliable power where and when it is needed, and can help make operations fossil-free and more sustainable.
The benefits of using the PU500
Optimizing energy cost
By storing electricity when prices are low, such as at night or during periods of high renewable generation, a BESS allows you to avoid peak energy costs.
Reliable backup power
The PU500 provides a stable energy supply even when grid access is limited, unreliable, or unavailable. It ensures continuous operation for critical equipment, reducing the risk of costly downtime or power interruptions.
Versatile and easy deployment
The robust & mobile all-in-one solution allows for quick deployment at site, and can easily be handled by a crane, forklift, or wheel loader.
Lower emissions
The PU500 enables more efficient use of renewable energy by storing excess solar or wind power and supplying it when needed. This reduces reliance on diesel generators and helps lower the carbon footprint of temporary operations.
Safety and cybersecurity
Several safety solutions include fire detection, dividing wall, thermal management with liquid cooling, fire hose connection, deflagration panels & remote operation and monitoring, as well as a certified cybersecure cloud solution.
