Hybrid Power Supports Renewable Energy Infrastructure Upgrade

Hybrid Power Supports Renewable Energy Infrastructure Upgrade

As Australia’s renewable energy network continues to expand, construction and infrastructure projects require reliable temporary power solutions that align with increasingly ambitious sustainability targets.

For a recent grid infrastructure upgrade project supporting the integration of large-scale renewable energy and battery storage assets, Genelite supplied a PH30/60 Hybrid to provide efficient off-grid power throughout site operations.

Reducing the Cost of Temporary Site Power

Temporary construction facilities traditionally rely on diesel generators operating for extended periods, often running continuously regardless of actual power demand.

For this project, reducing fuel consumption, generator run time and overall operating costs was a key objective.

To achieve this, the project team selected Genelite’s PH30/60 Hybrid, an all-in-one system that combines:

• 30kVA Yanmar diesel generator
• 60kWh LiFePO4 battery storage system
• Integrated solar generation
• Advanced DEIF smart control system
• Remote monitoring capability

The system automatically manages power generation and storage, ensuring reliable supply while minimising diesel usage.

Hybrid Technology in Action

 By intelligently balancing solar input, battery storage and generator operation, the PH30/60 can significantly reduce the number of hours the diesel engine is required to run.

Rather than operating continuously, the generator starts only when needed to recharge the battery system or support higher loads.

This approach delivers substantial operational benefits, including:

• Up to 85% reduction in generator run time
• More than 50% reduction in fuel costs
• Up to 90% reduction in emissions
• Reduced maintenance requirements
• Lower site noise levels

For remote project sites, these savings can translate into significant reductions in fuel logistics, servicing costs and environmental impact.

Built for Modern Infrastructure Projects

 The PH30/60 Hybrid Power Hub has been designed specifically for demanding Australian conditions and temporary power applications.

Featuring a heavy-duty 1500RPM Yanmar diesel engine, Leroy Somer alternator, integrated battery storage and solar generation, the system delivers reliable three-phase power from a single transportable package.

Applications include:

• Renewable energy projects
• Infrastructure upgrades
• Construction site compounds
• Telecommunications sites
• Remote facilities
• Temporary works and civil projects

Supporting the Clean Energy Transition

 As renewable energy developments continue to expand across Australia, hybrid power solutions are playing an increasingly important role in reducing the environmental footprint of construction and infrastructure projects.

By combining diesel generation, battery storage and solar technology into a single intelligent platform, the PH30/60 Hybrid Power Hub delivers dependable power while helping projects reduce fuel consumption, emissions and operating costs.
