Energy demands of data centers

Digital transformation boosts demand for data centers in Brazil, with the market growing 15% annually to reach US$ 1.3 billion by 2020. Data centers operate 24/7, requiring uninterrupted power for processing, cooling, and critical operations. An hour of outage can result in losses of US$ 84-108 thousand per company. Solutions include 45-2,250 kVA power generators on standby with automatic transition, as well as temporary use for maintenance and capacity increase.

Advantages of StandBy Rental

The e-book on the advantages of StandBy rental analyzes important variables for companies, including cash flow impact, cost of capital, and asset value (new generators depreciate by 20% in the first year). It also covers…

Discover the best solution for your needs

Tecnogera has created a comprehensive guide to help you decide whether to rent or buy a power generator. The e-book covers key variables such as cost, maintenance, and equipment depreciation, providing essential insights for making an informed decision. With detailed analyses of initial investment, operational costs, and the benefits of each option, this resource assists companies in selecting the most suitable solution for their temporary or permanent power needs.

Strategic Planning and Supplier Partnerships Kept Tecnogera Operational During Truckers’ Strike

Tecnogera maintained its operations during the May 2018 truckers’ strike through strategic planning that included early fuel supply and the creation of a technical fuel reserve. The company prioritized critical operations, such as isolated systems in Acre serving over 20,000 people, highlighting the importance of local partnerships and efficient logistics in crisis situations.

Reservoir levels improve in the Northeast, but Cantareira is a concern

ONS forecasts improvement in Brazilian reservoirs for 2018, with expected levels of 30% versus 18.7% in the Southeast/Central-West and 5.5% in the Northeast in 2017. Cantareira System is a concern with 48.1% (without dead volume), below the 61.5% of 2013 before the crisis. Generators were crucial in water crises: Sabesp used them for pumping dead volume in 2014-2015 and in the Sobradinho Reservoir (BA) in 2017 when it reached 5.1%. Tecnogera has expertise in sanitation, providing a 14.5 MVA gas-powered mini power plant for Sabesp to pump 4,000 liters/second in the Rio Grande-Alto Tietê project.

Booming Supermarket Sector Drives Demand for Temporary Power

The Brazilian supermarket sector is showing strong growth, with March sales 17.23% higher than February 2018 and 12.12% above 2017, according to Abras. This marked the best first quarter since 2013. The retail boom is increasing demand for power for lighting, air conditioning, and refrigeration. The March 2018 blackout highlighted the risks for supermarkets, especially in preserving perishables, making temporary power essential for operational security.

Market forecasts 10% growth for the construction sector

The construction sector is expected to grow by 10% in 2018, according to CBIC. Secovi-SP forecasts a 5% to 10% increase in property sales, which reached 23,629 units in São Paulo in 2017 (a 46.1% increase). Growth is driven by lower interest rates and improved employment, directly impacting the demand for temporary power. Generator rental becomes essential for projects without utility supply, with specialized companies like Tecnogera offering comprehensive solutions for the sector.

Power generation on Oil and Gas platforms

Oil platforms are true floating cities that require large amounts of energy to operate. This article explores how power generation is carried out on offshore platforms, the logistical challenges, the necessary safety measures, and the economic impact of the oil sector in Brazil.

Blackout underscores need for investment in energy security

The March 21, 2018 blackout affected 13 states in the North and Northeast, causing millions in losses for the industrial sector. The incident, resulting from a technical failure at the Xingu (PA) substation, highlighted the vulnerability of the national electrical system and the importance of energy security solutions. Generator rental emerges as a viable alternative for companies that cannot afford operational downtime, offering specialized maintenance and up-to-date technology without the need for significant equipment acquisition investments.

The challenge of providing temporary power to oil platforms

Supplying temporary power to oil platforms is a complex challenge that involves specialized logistics and robust equipment. Tecnogera stands out in the sector by providing generators weighing up to 14 tons, compatible with platform cranes, and offering complete solutions that include chillers and load banks. With 90% of parts sourced locally, the equipment is designed to operate under extreme conditions, ensuring a continuous power supply to these “floating cities” that consume energy equivalent to entire cities.
