Temporary power
Temporary power without a fuel account, a noise complaint or a spill plan — for construction, events, film, emergency response and industrial sites.
Temporary power exists because the permanent supply is absent, insufficient or not yet energised. That means the specification is usually written quickly, sized for the worst case, and delivered by whatever the hire desk had available.
The result is a generator running far below its rating for weeks, with a fuel account, a servicing schedule, a noise condition and a spill plan attached to it. None of that was the actual requirement — the requirement was electricity.
Battery storage meets the same requirement differently: it delivers the load from stored energy and refills when it suits, from the grid, from solar or from a right-sized generator that runs a fraction of the hours.
Specification
| What to establish | Why it matters | Typical source |
|---|---|---|
| Largest simultaneous load (kW) | Sets the power rating the system must deliver | Equipment schedule plus starting currents |
| Total energy per run (kWh) | Sets runtime and therefore the pack size | Load times hours across a working day |
| Voltage and phase | Determines the model and receptacle set | Site distribution and equipment plates |
| Recharge window | Determines whether one unit is enough | Shift pattern and available supply |
| Duration on site | Decides rent versus buy | Programme or event schedule |
| Constraints | Noise limits, indoor use, emissions commitments | Consent conditions and client requirements |
Questions answered
Temporary power is electricity supplied to a site that has no permanent connection, an insufficient one, or one that is not yet energised. It is standard on construction sites, events, film locations, disaster response and during facility upgrades.
Battery energy storage is the main one, either as a full replacement or as a hybrid where a right-sized generator recharges the battery. Grid connections, where available, and solar with storage are the others.
From hours to indefinitely, depending on the load and the recharge arrangement. A 30 kWh trailer covers a typical construction site for 4 to 8 hours or emergency lighting and communications for up to seven days; with solar or scheduled recharging there is no fixed limit.
