Cut fuel. Cut costs. Cut carbon. Large-scale infrastructure projects demand relentless power, but not the constant burn of oversized diesel engines. Ampd's solutions allow you to decouple power capacity from generator size, utilizing high-performance batteries to handle peak loads while a significantly smaller generator or a limited grid connection provides the steady charge.
Diesel generators are not well suited to the realities of large infrastructure projects. Their optimal operation is when they run at steady high loads, however tunneling, rail works, and site setups demand highly variable power. Tunnel boring machines, ventilation fans, and dewatering pumps draw heavy surges, while site sheds, offices, and lighting need steady but relatively small loads, often overnight. To cover the peaks, generators are oversized, yet spend much of their time idling inefficiently. The result is wasted fuel, high logistics costs and disruption for refueling, excessive noise in urban environments, and avoidable emissions.
An Ampd ESS acts as a buffer between the variable site demands and the power supply. Instead of oversizing diesel fleets to handle surges, the battery instantly delivers that peak power burst when required, while a smaller generator, or a modest grid connection, can run steadily at their most efficient point. This hybrid approach eliminates the inefficiency of large generators running at low loads, drastically reducing the carbon intensity and fuel overheads.
By capturing energy during off-peak periods and releasing it during demand spikes, the ESS smooths operations, reduces fuel consumption, and minimizes equipment wear.
Pairing an Ampd ESS with a generator can deliver a payback period of around 2 years and is backed by a 5-year product warranty. An Ampd offers not only technical resilience but also strong financial returns and peace of mind.
Avoid the massive cost of oversized generator rentals and high-capacity grid connections by using a right-sized hybrid power solution.
