The Powa Buggy is a unique patented solution to on site power management. In the new era that we are entering where on-site power generation is becoming a necessity, the Powa Buggy can blend power from various sources. For example, it can be programmed to take 30% of the load from the grid, another 20% from the Diesel generator and the remaining 50% from PV solar. These levels can be adjusted dynamically to suit your specific requirements as they vary during the day. For example, during peak tariff hours you can turn your grid consumption down and avoid peak charges. The Powa Buggy will also insure that you never exceed your peak demand and face hefty penalties.
Grid-former: Create your own microgrid on site
Power blender: Draw power from multiple sources
Switch over between grid and back-up:
- Inevitably this creates problems for your equipment on site.
Inverter three phase unbalance:
- Most inverters that are in use today, cannot operate with unbalanced three phase loads, which is what usually happens.
Inverter neutral earth problem:
- Inverters generate neutral to earth voltage, creates problems with earth leakages and protection.
PV reticulation blind spot fault:
- Most PV installations have what is called a “blind spot” fault, which is potentially dangerous and has caused fires.
- The same fault exists in battery installations.
- PV installations must comply with SANS10400, they seldom do.
Battery installations must comply SANS10400 Regulation (NBR)
- SANS10400 is a regulation – it is law and must be complied with.
- It requires that batteries of any type, are housed in a two-hour fire rated enclosure.
- The enclosure must be spill proof as well.
- NBR – compliance is the responsibility of the owner of the building.
- Your insurance requires compliance to NBR/SANS10400.
Uninterruptable power supply:
- No interruptions, no dips, no switch over, just clean reliable power.
Peak demand reduction:
- No more high electricity bills because you exceeded the peak demand.
Use what you already bought:
- The Powa Buggy can use what you already have, such as grid tied PV solar and Diesel generators.
One system, one supplier, one point of contact
- The Powa Buggy is a fully integrated solution, from a single supplier, PowerON Technology
Experience and attention to detail.
- PowerON has developed the Powa Buggy using years of research and experience to solve the most pressing, and often overlooked problems when it comes to one site power.
- Our experience showed us that issues like load unbalance, proper PV and battery protection is often overlooked.
- Where off-the-shelf solutions were not available, we developed our own, like the PV protection relay to solve the problem of the “blind spot” fault.
- Output Power = 500kVA to 1000kVA
- Three phase output / 400V / 50Hz.
- Standard with two inputs, grid and Diesel generator.
- PV option.
- Battery option.
- Or custom combination as per user requirement.
- Diesel engine conversion to LNG.
- Container or on-site installation.
- DGOpt after market fuel
- Oil filtration system to typically increase service interval from every 500 hours to 2000 hours and reduce fuel and oil consumption. Typical payback of less than a year.
If you already have a Diesel generator as back-up power solution:
- We can reduce your Diesel fuel bill with our Diesel Generator Optimization system.
- Savings of up to 50% has been achieved.
- The savings comes from running the Diesel Generator optimally and to extend the interval between services, using the Powa Buggy.
If you already have a Diesel generator and PV solar:
- We can integrate your existing Diesel Generator with PV solar to reduce your Diesel Bill.
- We can include the DGOpt filter system to increase your service interval and reduce oil and fuel consumption, with a typical payback of less than a year.
- Out Diesel generator optimisation system further reduces your Diesel generator opex by ensuring that your Diesel engine operates at maximum performance, meaning the power generation is maximised.
If you already have a Diesel generator, PV solar and batteries:
- We can integrate your existing Diesel Generator with PV solar, and batteries.
- We can also include the DGOpt and Diesel Generator optimisation system, as per the previous option above, to further reduce operating costs.
Convert your Diesel generator to clean LNG (gas) with PV:
- We can convert your Diesel generator run from LNG.
- LNG is cleaner than Diesel.
- It is cheaper to run from LNG than Diesel.
- LNG and PV is the cheapest energy source available.
The Powa Buggy is available in power ratings from 50kVA to 1000kVA.
It can operate with any type of battery, Diesel generator and batteries.
Also enquire about our aftermarket Diesel fuel and oil filtration system that extends the service interval for continuous run Diesel generator sets by a factor of 4.
We also have a Diesel generator optimization system option for the Powa Buggy that reduces the fuel consumption by as much as 50%, and it is based on running the Diesel engine at optimum fuel consumption, more information is available on request.
