Distributed Generation
Distributed Generation is adopted where the delivery of electricity to a city or region is restricted by inadequate or inefficient transmission lines. In this case a utility company determines the amount of additional electricity required at a particular location to avoid black- outs. APR Energy can rapidly deploy a solution to the location, generating the required electricity and injecting it into the grid system either directly into the MV distribution network or the main HV grid. Often also referred to as Rural Electrification, Distributed Generation provides an efficient and secure method of delivering additional electricity at a local level and can also help improve the overall efficiency of the customer’s electrical system by supplying Reactive Power (MVARs). As the local demand increases more power modules can easily be deployed to augment the installed capacity on site.
Ultimately, upon the installation of a more permanent power plant or improved transmission line, the temporary power solution can be relocated or decommissioned.
Formosa & Sáenz Peña, Argentina
APR Energy was contracted to supply 50MW of diesel generated temporary power to the country of Argentina. This power supply was to be split over two sites located in the cities of Formosa and Sáenz Peña in north eastern Argentina. APR Energy supplied a full turnkey solution with all manpower required to complete the installation within 60 days and continues to deliver comprehensive ongoing operation and maintenance services. Since 2007, APR Energy has been operating these sites to provide our customer with additional support for the increased demand for power during the summer and winter months in this region.
