Revolutionizing Power in Singapore: Senmarck's Hybrid BESS Cuts Energy Costs by 70% for Construction & Heavy Industries
Singapore's Energy Challenge: Sky-High Diesel Costs & Limited Grid Access
In Singapore, where diesel prices soar above $2 per liter, industries relying on off-grid power face staggering operational costs. Key sectors impacted include:
High-rise construction sites – Temporary grid connections are expensive, forcing reliance on diesel generators.
Cement plants, factories & batching plants – Many lack sufficient grid power, running diesel gensets 24/7, burning thousands of liters monthly.
Heavy machinery operations – Tower cranes, excavators, and batch plants demand high power, but grid transformer capacity is often insufficient.
The Senmarck Solution: Hybrid BESS – Smarter, Cleaner, Cheaper Power
Senmarck's Hybrid Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) transforms how industries manage power—slashing fuel costs, reducing emissions, and enhancing grid flexibility.
1. Massive Fuel Savings (Up to 70% Reduction)
Construction sites: Reduce diesel generator runtime from 16+ hours to just 3-4 hours/day, saving $50,000+ annually per crane.
Factories & batching plants: Optimize load with peak shaving, cutting diesel consumption by 40-60%.
2. Avoid Costly Grid Upgrades
Acts as a "virtual transformer" where grid capacity is insufficient, eliminating the need for expensive infrastructure upgrades.
Enables partial grid usage – Combine limited grid power with BESS to minimize diesel dependency.
3. Lower Capex on Diesel Generators
No need for oversized generators – Senmarck's BESS handles load spikes, allowing smaller, cheaper gensets.
Extends generator lifespan – Reduced runtime = less wear, lower maintenance costs.
4. Go Green & Meet Singapore’s Sustainability Mandates
Cut CO₂ emissions by 50%+ – Aligns with Singapore's Green Plan 2030 and carbon tax policies.
Silent, zero-emission operation – Ideal for noise-sensitive urban projects.
5. Energy Resilience & Uninterrupted Operations
Seamless backup power – No downtime during refueling or generator maintenance.
Stable voltage & frequency – Protects sensitive equipment from power fluctuations.
6. Fast ROI (12-24 Months)
Fuel savings alone typically cover system costs within 1-2 years.
Additional savings from reduced generator wear, lower maintenance, and avoided grid fees.
Real-World Impact: How Senmarck is Powering Change
For a Singapore batching plant: Senmarck's BESS reduced diesel use from 8,000L/month to 3,200L, saving $9,600/month.
For a high-rise construction site: Hybridized system cut generator runtime by 75%, lowering fuel costs by $4,000/month per crane.
