What Is a Standby Generator and When Is It Needed?

Several white Tecnogera power generators, housed in containers, are positioned on reddish soil near a solar plant. In the background, rows of solar panels and green areas under a blue sky indicate that Tecnogera is ready to provide StandBy power whenever needed.

The Standby Generator is an emergency equipment that remains on standby mode until activated during power outages. It is essential for critical situations such as major blackouts that affected Brazil in 2009, 2020, and 2023. Renting offers advantages such as specialized support, savings on maintenance, and flexibility to modify equipment as needed, making it ideal for mining, industries, hospitals, and other critical sectors.

How to Revolutionize Your Operations with Aerial Platforms

Aerial platforms transform operations by offering ready-to-use equipment, safety features, simple maneuverability, and quiet operation. There are two main models: scissor lifts for lower heights and level ground, and articulated lifts for complex tasks on uneven terrain. Renting is more cost-effective than buying, especially for occasional jobs, eliminating maintenance concerns and offering quick charging with lithium batteries.

Energy generator for companies: how to choose the ideal one

Global generator market valued at US$ 3.7 billion in 2018 with an annual growth rate of 5.2% until 2025. Benefits include savings during peak hours, increased productivity, security of critical equipment, uninterrupted operation for hospitals and monitoring centers, modern technology and good fuel efficiency. Equipment serves companies of all sizes.

Peak Hour Savings: Do It Smart

Peak hours are 3 consecutive hours of highest electricity consumption with elevated rates, regulated by ANEEL Normative Resolution No. 482/2012. Shutting down equipment is impractical for businesses. Standby generators offer the ideal solution, remaining on standby and automatically activating when needed, providing significant savings without affecting productivity.

Excavation and Tunnel Construction in Major Projects

Tunnel construction employs advanced methods like NATM and DrillandBlast, using specialized equipment such as Shield, large-scale excavators, and, when necessary, controlled explosives. The presence of power generators is crucial in these projects, not only to ensure safety through proper lighting but also to maintain continuous productivity by powering essential machines and systems even during power outages.

Why is a power generator important in mining?

A power generator is an essential piece of equipment in mining, acting swiftly during blackouts to maintain electrical supply. It ensures lighting in underground areas where workers spend hours without natural light, and powers heavy extraction machinery. It’s crucial for safety, powering emergency lights, alarms, and fans that remove dust and gases. The recommended model is 750 to 1000 KVA, offering maximum power and safety.
