STANDBY POWER
Power Depend offers a wide range of electric power generation units combining diesel and gasoline engines from major motor manufacturers with brand name generators into a made to measure economical stand-by power solution.  Our sales and application engineers are well acquainted with the wire & cable industry's special needs. They will work closely with you to ensure accurate load sizing and proper installation of the equipment. Power Depends focus on the wire & cable industry enables us to provide an affordable solution of standby power.

 

PRIME/CONTINUOUS POWER

We also offer generator sets for prime or continuous power applications suitable where the present transmission lines do not allow an additional increase in load or voltage is so unstable that operation of production equipment are impaired. Generating your own power can also be justified in areas where the cost of electric energy is such that local power generation offers an economical alternative. In these cases it is often advantageous to sell power back to the local utility.  

    

PEAK SHAVING
Peak shaving is an application where a Power Depend unit can provide considerable savings on your utility bill. Many customers are looking for ways of controlling costs by generating their own power during peak utility usage periods. Power Depend can provide on-site generator sets to provide this power and significantly lower utility demand, as well as overall expenditures. Along with peak-shaving, this also offers the security of on-site standby power when needed. 

LOAD MANAGEMENT
Standby power systems involved in utility-sponsored load control arrangements can provide an attractive return on investment. You run the equipment during times of peak utility power demand, when directed by the utility in return for demand-charge credits or special power rates granted by the utility. Contact us for more information on load management solutions.

COGENERATION

If you have 24-hour electric demand and/or a substantial heat requirement, such as a pickling house, combined heat and power (cogeneration) may work for you.  

Consider that up to 60% of the cooling water and exhaust heat losses from a diesel engine can be recovered. A Power Depend consultant can review and advise you if cogeneration is an economical feasible solution for your plant.
