White Paper Details Worksite Sustainability
and Productivity Benefits
United Rentals, Inc. (NYSE: URI), the world’s largest equipment
rental company, today outlined ways companies can create more
efficient and sustainable worksites using hybrid power solutions.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are leading the
transformation in portable power by storing energy from an energy
source such as a power grid or generator.
United Rentals released a white paper, “Hybrid Power Solutions:
The Future of Portable Power,” that explores strategies for pairing
a BESS with a power generator. When a BESS is paired with a power
generator, the generator recharges the BESS batteries as the system
runs. In low-load situations, the BESS shuts off the generator and
carries the load on its own until the demand for energy increases
again and the BESS instructs the generator to turn on.
“Hybrid power solutions can help companies by supplying the
power they need for productivity and safety in a way that lowers
operations costs and emissions,” said Dan Gribbell, PHVAC Region
Sales and Marketing Director, United Rentals. “United Rentals can
help companies leverage a hybrid power solution that addresses
their specific power requirements, including hydrogen or propane
generators used with a BESS or on their own, so their businesses
stay agile and responsive.”
In a recent project, a large construction customer reduced cost
by 34 percent and reduced generator runtime by two-thirds.
Benefits of Hybrid Power
A BESS provides quality power and energy reliability for
worksites. The high-density lithium battery system is charged by
electricity from a power source. It can provide remote site power,
charge electric vehicles, tools and other equipment, deliver
emergency backup and more.
When a BESS is integrated with a generator, the generator runs
only when the load is high or the stored energy is nearly depleted,
which can reduce fuel consumption by as much as 80 percent. When
the generator is off, BESS batteries supply emissions-free power.
Using batteries to power equipment can decrease worksite noise
levels by up to 90 percent compared to traditional generator-only
approaches.
Hybrid power solutions can also reduce ongoing maintenance
costs. Battery systems require less maintenance than generators,
and generators need less maintenance when runtime is reduced.
Minimizing generator wear and tear leads to longer service
intervals, lower consumption of oil and filters by fossil
fuel-powered generators and lengthier equipment lifespans.
