Battery Energy Storage System produced with repurposed cells from the mobility sector can help transform the energy sector in the country.
São Paulo, January 2024 – Tecnogera, a leading Brazilian company in the temporary power sector, has developed a technology in the country that could be the solution for the disposal of end-of-life batteries.
Tecnogera’s Mobile Battery Energy Storage System enters the market after a year of research and testing, proposing to use end-of-life lithium batteries from vehicles and mobile equipment, making them useful again for storing electrical energy and ensuring mobile temporary power solutions in markets where the company is already a reference, such as commercial establishments, industrial operations, events, among other uses.
The new equipment can assist or replace diesel-powered generators – widely used as a temporary power source, for supply in cases of issues with electrical grids.
Tecnogera’s innovative system will make its debut in grand style, being responsible for the energy that will project the films at the 27th edition of the Tiradentes Film Festival, which takes place from January 19 to 27, the most important national film festival, and this year will also bring a sustainable appeal as a result of the partnership with Tecnogera.
The technology, a pioneer in Brazil, consists of a mobile battery energy storage system mounted on a 100% electric truck also powered by batteries, providing clean energy without pollutant emissions. “The system ensures safety and efficiency, besides being silent and sustainable.
The solution we developed reinforces our expertise and credibility in developing solutions in Brazil, in addition to exploring the full synergy between our temporary power business and equipment for work and access at height,” comments Arthur Lavieri, CEO of Tecnogera.
Tecnogera’s product was created from the union of two business fronts of the company: on one side, it is a national leader in generator rental and temporary power solutions.
On the other, it is a pioneer in Brazil in adopting a fleet of platforms for access and work at height 100% powered by lithium batteries.
The company invested over 500 hours of its engineering team and R$ 1 million in the development of the technology. “The used and end-of-life batteries for our own traction applications in aerial work platforms can now be repurposed and have their lives extended in stationary energy solutions with our existing clients and markets, besides being able to complement or be an alternative to our traditional fuel-powered generator solutions,” explains Lavieri.
In its debut, Tecnogera’s new system will provide approximately 1 MWh of clean energy to power the loads of Cine Praça, a space open to the public for free and a central element of the 27th Tiradentes Film Festival.
This will be the first edition of the Festival not to resort to diesel generators for energy security and primary energy supply used in the projection of its films, without interruption. Press | Oficina Regina Ribeiro Denise Mello.
