Off-Grid Power Systems
Diesel remains the fuel of choice for generating power in remote areas where climates are often harsh. But environmental challenges and social apprehension about using fossil-based energy sources, in tandem with technological advances in energy storage, are gradually changing the way things stand. There’s also the issue of sourcing power from fuel, a costly process that’s driving the innovation of alternative energy solutions, including heat recovery and renewable power systems.
However, transforming off-grid power applications cannot come at the expense of system reliability. After all, the profitability of many industry players and the health and safety of various communities are at stake.
