Cleantech company Firefly Hybrid Power is excited to announce the launch of its latest hybrid power solution – the PowerPlus Hybrid Power Generator (HPG).
PowerPlus HPG addresses a growing demand for reliable and sustainable power solutions across many sectors, especially at sites with little or no access to electricity grid, or places currently relying on traditional diesel generators for power. At its heart lies an advanced programmable controller and battery management system coupled with smart AC distribution and user-friendly interface to manage the generator.
On average, PowerPlus users can expect savings of up to 2,000 litres of fuel each month. The integrated high-capacity battery storage, available as either AGM or LFP options, provides up to 60% run time saving over diesel-only generators, and with features like advanced load management, optimised quiet hours, and the ability to set multiple run time schedules, the performance can be increased even further.
By incorporating the PowerPlus unit into their application, users will also benefit from a significant reduction in fuel spend and noise, as well as CO2, NOx and SO2 emissions. Optimised running of the PowerPlus hybrid generator will also significantly extend plant life and reduce the maintenance requirement – all while sustaining a continuous and reliable power supply.
Socket level loading and energy consumption are all monitored and recorded for detailed analysis, not only via the built-in 7″ touchscreen, but also remotely using Firefly’s bespoke Remote Fleet Management platform – GLOW RFM®. The resulting hybrid power system is powerful, yet extremely easy to operate and maintain for both fleet operators and end users.
GLOW RFM®, which powers all of Firefly battery hybrid products, offers complete remote control, troubleshooting, detailed environmental reporting, as well as host of more advanced capabilities, such as user-programmable logic solutions, individual outlet configuration, and custom e-mail notifications.
Once on-site, PowerPlus provides a modest footprint with air intake, filtration, and exhaust points conveniently located on the main access doors and roof respectively. Forklift pockets and ISO container corner twist lock fittings make the PowerPlus easy to manoeuvre with a regular forklift.
David Piper, Head of Off-grid Power Solutions at Firefly, explains: “We observe a steady rise in demand for hybrid power across many industries. PowerPlus is aimed primarily at organisations seeking a complete and reliable mini grid power solution for remote or unattended installations, telecoms infrastructure, construction sites, and emergency response scenarios. While emission and noise reduction are often the priority among our clients, we also like to emphasize the significant savings in fuel costs and maintenance expenses that our products offer. We feel that hybrid power solutions should not only make sense from environmental perspective, but also offer clear long-term financial benefits. The launch of PowerPlus shows our commitment to this goal.”
PowerPlus HPG launches today with first units being shipped to construction sites around the UK. AGM and Lithium battery options will become available for ordering in the coming weeks.
