Himoinsa launches new battery power generator

Himoinsa EHR Battery Power Generator is a new energy storage and distribution system. Compact, silent and clean, it has been specially designed to be integrated into power generation systems using gas or diesel generators and to connect to the grid or photovoltaic modules. It is equipped with HICORE System, a management technology designed by Himoinsa which allows a more efficient use of energy. This smartgrid controller selects the most favourable energy source for each charging condition, thereby achieving the greenest and most efficient energy solution.

Designed to follow just 3 simple steps, the pre-configured working mode selector allows the user to configure the Battery Power Generator for the different applications or modes of use: Plug & Play, Low Load, Peak Shaving, UPS, Load Sharing. And always with the goal of increasing efficiency, reducing emissions, gaining in sustainability and flexibility, and optimising energy resources. The battery power generator incorporates and perfectly integrates batteries, inverter, control unit, power connections, solar MC4 Connectors and MPPT (Maximum Power Point Trackers) within a compact canopy.

LFP batteries are designed for a lifetime of 50,000 hours. At one cycle per day, this would allow for a life of approximately 5 years, considerably more than other manufacturer’s batteries and storage systems. The battery pack can be replaced quickly and economically.

“This new product is undoubtedly another step forward in the energy transition process”, says Francisco Gracia, President and CEO of Himoinsa, who goes on to assure us that the company is working on the development of new products based on alternative fuel technologies so that it can offer the market a complete solution at the cutting edge of new technologies and energy sources. “To be more precise, we are working on the electrification of products that will exist alongside the traditional gas and diesel generators that Himoinsa currently offers, and to continue optimizing the reduction of the carbon footprint with more efficient and environmentally sustainable gas and diesel generator solutions”.

Himoinsa battery power generator: technical features

The battery power generator is reliable and robust. Its mobile rental canopy withstands extreme environmental conditions. The EHR guarantees a high performance in a wide range of temperatures from -15ºC to 45ºC. Its electrical and mechanical protections ensure user safety at all times. The EHR is ideal for urban, noise-sensitive environments and for buildings and events in metropolitan areas, telecommunications, rental units for low-load problems and renewable power storage.

EHR is available in single-phase 10kVA and three-phase 15, 30 and 45kVA nominal power solutions, with two different storage capacity options per model (ratios of 1:1 and 1:2). This optimal configuration makes it possible to complete the battery charging process in less than 1.5 hours (ratio of 1:1). 

All the models have an overload capacity of up to 300% to start electrical motors. Also, it can be combined with the battery storage energy and the main power source (genset or mains) to increase the total hybrid system output by an additional 100Amps.

Ease of use with HICORE

HICORE is the Himoinsa-designed management system that lets operators select the most favourable power source for a specific load condition at any given time. It can be integrated with gas and diesel generator sets or connected to public electricity grids and renewable energy sources. 

Himoinsa’s main objective is to guarantee the optimisation of the different power sources by means of an interface that has been designed to provide a guided and simple experience for any operator, who will be able to choose the most appropriate working mode at any given moment. In addition, to ensure immediate start-up, we offer a Plug&Play mode which allows the EHR to automatically decide which is the best operational option at any given moment based on a constant analysis of the load profile and the connected sources.

The advantages of hybridisation (EHR + Generator set) 

Operators and rental companies that add the EHR Battery Power Generator to their fleet will enjoy a considerable reduction of their Operating Costs (OPEX) and a very positive impact on their Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). 

In the European market, choosing a combined operation with a generator set with a Stage V engine and a Battery Power Generator guarantees the best possible performance of the units, improves load profile and ensures a reduction in operating costs because the operation is optimised in line with a constant analysis of the load and the connected sources.
