Not all areas in Canada can be serviced by the main electricity grid. For these locations and industries operating in them, locally generated electricity is a cost-effective solution that meets the industrial electricity demand while reducing installation and upgrade costs. By investing in customized power solutions, industries can avoid or reduce other costs and risks related to power distribution. Today, we will talk more about the power generation solutions that Custom Power Generation provides for remote locations. Learn more about our services.

What Is a Modular Power Plant?

Modular Power plants are a step forward for industries to ensure reliable energy sources for their business. Island Mode power plants are completely independent systems that are specifically designed to supply the power needs for well sites, oil battery sites, process facilities, compression sites or other locations where utility is not an option.

One of the amazing benefits of a plug and play power plants is that each module is predesigned, engineered, fabricated, and fully tested before being transported and delivered to the installation site. This gives the industries an opportunity to have perfectly developed and assembled modular power plants even in places where there is limited to no infrastructure.

Application for Modular Power Plants

Modular power plants are used in many industries in Western Canada and are especially valuable for those located in remote areas.

Remote Power Generation systems can be used in a variety of locations and applications.

What Is an E-house?

Electrical houses, also known as E-houses, are customized, pre-assembled and pre-tested modular power substations often housing a motor control center (MCC). An MCC is an assembly to control some or all electric motors in a central location. It consists of multiple enclosed sections having a common power bus and with each section containing a combination starter, which in turn consists of a motor starter, fuses or circuit breaker, and power disconnect. E-houses often will contain the control, distribution and electrical components needed for power generation.

Advantages of an E-house

E-houses are a smart choice when it comes to power generation. Advantages of an E-house include:

Prewired and pre-tested before going to the field.
Easily integrated on-site.
Fully engineered to suit any project.
Plug and play design means quicker start-up and commissioning at site.
Central location for servicing and maintenance.
Cost effect / intelligent designs minimize site footprint.
Expandable for future growth.
