Running your generator wide open 24/7 is not the only way to ensure power for your site today. More WA-based companies are using battery packs with their generators to supply the necessary charge during peak demand. Meanwhile, the generator runs at reduced speed or is completely turned off. This saves fuel, reduces generator wear, and maintains a stable power supply even when multiple systems operate simultaneously. Genertec offers WA mining, accommodation, industrial, construction and agriculture companies an optimal solution in terms of equipment and services provided.
Power Solutions Built for Mining, Remote Camps and Industry Across WA
How Battery Storage Works on a Site
Imagine an extremely tough, massive rechargeable battery placed between the power-generating source and the load. Instead of running your generator continuously to meet demand, it charges the storage bank during idle periods, and the excess charge is used during high loads, such as equipment start-up or the simultaneous activation of many systems. Battery energy storage systems function the same way, but are designed to operate on a much larger scale. Instead of one engine running continuously to handle demand fluctuations, the battery charge takes over, and the main generator operates less frequently. This means fewer running hours, less generator maintenance, and, especially on mine sites or remote camps, lower fuel costs.
In general, battery storage runs the generator only when needed, while the batteries take over normal operation.
Providing Services From Perth to the Pilbara
If your project involves a camp in Karratha, a processing plant in Kwinana, or a mine operation in Newman, Genertec ensures local equipment supply and technical support. Our clients include camp operators in Perth, Kalgoorlie, Port Hedland, Onslow, Tom Price, Geraldton, Dampier, Bunbury, Albany, and Esperance. We offer fast, efficient delivery with no interstate delays, and you’ll work with a WA-based company that knows how to handle tough conditions.
Battery Energy Storage Systems Made to Work in Tough Conditions
When you work in mines and heavy industry, downtime will be not only unpleasant but also costly. We choose our battery energy storage systems for their ability to withstand difficult conditions, such as dust, heat, and vibrations. Working in tandem with our generator systems, our battery energy storage systems help reduce engine runtime and, as a result, reduce service intervals and extend equipment life. When you’re working with a tight capital budget, this is how you will get true ROI from us.
Hybrid Power Generator Configurations that Help Reduce Fuel Expenses
Fuel and energy costs are continuously rising, and running a diesel system day and night is no longer the most efficient way to manage a project budget. With a hybrid power generator configuration, you can save substantially on fuel expenses while ensuring a 24-hour power supply, regardless of WA’s wet- and dry-season weather.
Energy Storage Units Based on Local Stocks
A slow supply chain affects projects financially. For this reason, we keep our energy storage units and spare parts in stock locally in WA so we can provide a replacement or upgrade immediately upon request. This matters because construction and civil infrastructure teams working against tight deadlines cannot afford to wait several weeks for a part to be delivered from interstate.
Choosing the Correct Battery Storage Generator for Your Operation
All worksites are not identical, and your requirements differ from those of a construction crew running an intermittent power load to an agricultural business that needs power for pumping irrigation to a remote oil and gas operation that requires constant power generation. The battery storage generator can meet all these requirements; it has flexible power, quieter operation, and machinery built to withstand the tough conditions in WA – be it the red dust in the Goldfields or salty sea air along the WA coastline.
Powering Your Home with Site-Grade Power
Larger operations aren’t the only ones looking for better ways to power their operations. Many WA homes are considering battery storage for home power needs, especially those outside city limits where there is no guarantee of a reliable power supply. Battery storage can provide power at home without relying on the electricity grid. Schedule a call with our team to understand your requirements.
Reasons Why WA Operators Prefer Genertec
Many companies provide generators in this state; however, experience matters if you don’t want to take risks in such a critical situation. Genertec is a family-owned and operated company in WA, and you can work with the right person who knows all the ins and outs of the business. All our staff are field-trained and know mining, construction and accommodation sites, and we sell top-quality products and not just cheaply imported products. We have all the necessary battery energy storage and hybrid power generator products available, and the quick availability of service makes us able to provide what is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
It depends on your load and your budget. Usually, lithium-based batteries provide longer cycle life and better performance at extreme temperatures, which is ideal for WA mining or remote sites. At the same time, other technologies may be more convenient for domestic use.
This varies depending on load, but many customers notice a marked reduction in diesel usage when storage is used to manage base-load demands, and the generator is used solely for recharging and peak times.
Yes, our products are selected for harsh heat and dust conditions common in mining and remote areas, as opposed to metropolitan-grade equipment.
While most households still require backup in the form of a generator for days without sunlight or at night, a hybrid solar storage system gives you a complete solution.
With stock available in WA, we can get products to remote locations much faster than sourcing them from interstate, and we can discuss the best delivery option for your location.
