Launched at the end of 2016, Powerplus resolves many limitations of conventional power generators, such as wasted energy, high running costs and air pollution, whilst enhancing power reliability and reducing fuel consumption. Powerplus is a flexible battery system which can be used alongside, or in place of, existing power generators to deliver fuel savings and reduce carbon emissions. With additional benefits of reduced noise pollution and significantly lower maintenance requirements, it has been estimated to deliver an average of 30 to 50 percent cost savings against conventional power generation models.
Powerplus requires minimal connections, offering true flexibility for end users. Containing its own Power Assist mechanism, the unit can switch between itself and generator power in response to fluctuating power loads to protect the entire system from damage. With an ability to accept a solar input, Powerplus can be used as a completely fuel-free power generator, depending on load profile.
CCL Components developed the new power system in response to a growing demand for low carbon and cost-effective power generation options for remote locations and grid-restricted areas. The idea for a commercially available hybrid power system was borne from one of CCL Components’ earlier projects in the military sector. It has invested heavily in research and development of the product, taking data from trials for products in military contexts and applying it to commercial challenges.
Powerplus is CCL Components’ first own-developed product and is currently available in 6, 10, 18 and 30 kilowatts models. See the technical data sheet on Powerplus.
