Generators

Generators Generators are considered a vital element for backup power (emergency), secondary or primary power. They are particularly essential for growers who cannot afford to lose their utility connection. The reaction of plants to loss of light, changes in temperature, or humidity in the middle of a growth cycle is not good. Complete loss of power can be devastating to a crop or your business cycle. We can save you that trouble by offering cost-effective generator solutions with both new and used units.

Applications include:

Microgrid: Generators, Photovoltaic PV Solar & Batteries

A localized energy grid having control capability is a microgrid. It can disconnect from the conventional grid and function separately. Usually, growers not having a utility grid connection have to generate their own power independently. Distributed generators, batteries, and solar panels run microgrids. If utility power loss is common in the area you are growing then you can incorporate a microgrid for your facility. Your microgrid can be separated from the main grid automatically or manually by a switch.

Combined Heat and Power (CHP): This is also commonly referred to as co-generation.
Combined heat and power systems offer a lucrative and viable solution for greenhouses. A CHP system can generate a fuel efficiency rate of more than 90% in comparison to the average boiler efficiency of 40-50% by producing thermal energy and electrical energy at the same time. Payback on these systems is usually less than 3-4 years. The natural gas-fueled engine can be configured particularly for applications concerning heat recovery.

The engine runs a generator for greenhouse facilities to generate electricity, while jacket water and exhaust cooling circuits are fed using heat exchangers to move the waste heat from the engine to a tank holding hot water. The stored hot water keeps the greenhouse warm. Carbon monoxide is removed with the help of an oxidation catalyst, and a urea-based SCR system is used to decrease NOx to just a few parts per million. All of this keeps the exhaust gas so clean it is piped to the greenhouse plants’ roots as a fertilizer, improving crop yields.

BackUp Power: Diesel, Natural Gas, Liquid Propane fuel generators in case of utility power loss
Backup generators are essential to sustain growth round the clock. Automation is essential to effectiveness in operation for both advanced and basic growers. Plants can remain in good condition by keeping the lights on, running fans, pumps, humidity control applications, etc. Backup power generation is a must in areas where utility power loss is common.
