Addressing the growing demand for efficient and environmentally responsible power, Atlas Copco introduces its EPH series of modular hybrid power generators. Designed as a direct and cost-effective alternative to traditional diesel units, these systems cut fuel consumption and operational costs while providing dependable energy.

These advanced systems are a smart, efficient, and cost-effective alternative to traditional diesel generators, designed to provide reliable power for a wide range of applications, from remote construction sites to disaster recovery operations.

The modular hybrid generators integrate a traditional diesel engine with a battery energy storage system and can connect with renewable energy sources like solar panels. Its intelligent design allows the generator to switch between power sources based on demand, using silent battery power for low-to-moderate needs and only activating the diesel engine as a backup for higher power demands or when the battery charge is low.

Key benefits and features
The EPH series can reduce fuel consumption by up to 90 percent, leading to potential savings of up to 46,000 euros annually for 24/7 operation, the company said. By decreasing generator run time, the system lowers CO2 emissions by up to 86 percent. With the diesel engine running only when necessary, wear and tear is reduced by up to 95 percent, significantly lowering service and maintenance costs. The plug-and-play design, combined with options like cold-weather kits and solar panel connections, makes the EPH system easy to expand and adapt to various power needs and work environments. The ability to run on battery power provides quiet operation, making it good for noise-sensitive environments.

The Atlas Copco modular hybrid generator EPH, which combines the ZBP energy storage system with a QAS Stage 5 generator in a single, durable crash frame, is a prime example of the industry’s shift towards more sustainable and efficient off-grid power solutions. Its durability and versatility make it an asset for the rental market, remote locations, and emergency response.
