Setup
What is a hybrid setup?
In a hybrid setup, two energy sources, a battery and a generator, work together to deliver efficient and sustainable power. The battery provides direct, emission-free electricity, while the generator supports the system by recharging the battery when needed.
How does it work?
During operation, the battery supplies power to the project. When the battery runs low or power demand becomes too high, the generator automatically starts to recharge it. Once the battery is sufficiently charged, the generator shuts down again. This means the generator only runs when it is truly needed.
In a traditional setup, a generator often runs continuously, even when only a small amount of power is required. This leads to unnecessary fuel use, energy waste and higher CO₂ emissions.
With a hybrid energy setup from Greener, that waste is eliminated. The battery covers periods of low energy demand, and the generator operates only when necessary. This smart combination reduces generator running hours and can cut diesel and CO₂ emissions by up to 90 percent.
A hybrid setup is ideal for locations with no or limited grid connection. It provides a reliable and sustainable power supply without interruptions. It is also an excellent choice for projects with fluctuating energy demand.
How does Greener apply this?
At Greener Power Solutions, hybrid setups are managed through our Energy Management System. This system automatically controls when the generator starts, stops and recharges the battery, ensuring maximum efficiency with minimal emissions.
We deliver, install and monitor the complete system on-site. Through our software, we continuously track energy use and savings, giving you clear insight into fuel, CO₂ and nitrogen reductions achieved during your project.
Applications across different sectors
Construction and Infrastructure
On construction sites, a strong grid connection is not always available, while energy demand can be high and variable. A hybrid energy setup offers the perfect solution.
The battery supplies emission-free power for lighting, tools and electric machinery. When demand peaks, for example when several heavy machines are in use, the generator automatically starts to support and recharge. Because the generator does not need to run continuously, fuel use, operating hours and emissions are significantly reduced. This makes the setup more sustainable, quieter and cost-efficient.
It is especially suited for projects in urban areas or where strict emission standards apply.
Events
At events, a constant, quiet and reliable power supply is essential. With a hybrid power setup, a festival or event can run entirely on clean and efficient energy. The battery provides most of the required power, while the generator only runs to recharge or support when needed. This keeps noise levels low for visitors and reduces emissions by up to 90 percent compared to traditional diesel generators.
A hybrid system also makes it possible to provide sustainable power at remote locations, without any risk of power failure.
Grid Services
In cases of grid congestion or limited grid capacity, a hybrid setup provides a practical solution. The battery acts as a buffer, supplying additional power when demand exceeds what the grid can deliver. When the grid cannot provide enough capacity, the generator automatically starts to support the system or recharge the battery.
This ensures a reliable power supply without having to wait for a grid upgrade. It is a strong solution for companies that need temporary grid reinforcement or want to continue operations despite grid delays.
Rental Companies
For rental companies that supply energy solutions, a hybrid system is a sustainable and profitable alternative to traditional generators. By connecting a battery to an existing generator, clients can save fuel and reduce emissions without losing reliability.
The battery handles demand peaks, so the generator runs less frequently and for shorter periods. This extends equipment lifespan and reduces maintenance costs. It also helps rental companies meet growing demand for cleaner energy solutions and comply with stricter emission standards.
EV-Charging
A hybrid setup enables fast and reliable EV charging, even at locations without a heavy grid connection. The battery delivers the required power to charge electric vehicles quickly, while the generator only runs when needed to recharge the battery.
This allows electric vehicles to be charged anywhere, without overloading the grid or waiting for reinforcement. For logistics companies and construction sites, it is a flexible and scalable solution that accelerates the transition to electric transport.
Shore Power
In ports and at docking locations, ships often have a constant energy demand, which is traditionally met by diesel generators. A hybrid shore power setup offers a sustainable alternative. The battery supplies power to the vessel, while the generator only operates when demand exceeds the battery’s capacity.
This greatly reduces noise, fuel consumption and emissions, creating a cleaner and quieter port environment.
