In its debut week, Midlands-based Summit Power, the latest venture from Summit Platforms, made a strategic move: adding two electric 250kva/575kwh ZBC energy storage units from Atlas Copco to its fleet.
The units will form the basis of what the company expects to be a 70%/30% mix between diesel and electric portable power demand in 2024.
“We believe these two units to be a strategic investment: we’ll be able to provide our rental customers with a unique level of high-capacity energy storage, be that solely battery or through an engineered hybrid solution,” said managing director Ross McConachie.
Leveraging the benefits of high-density lithium-ion batteries, these units are relatively compact and light, yet capable of providing days of autonomous power with a single charge. They are suited for noise-sensitive environments, such as urban construction sites, and are a perfect fit for applications with a high energy demand and variable load profiles.
