OVERVIEW OF TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION NETWORK
THE NEED FOR A MOBILE SOLUTION
THE NEED FOR A MOBILE SOLUTION Emergency power supply (Reduction in response time to emergency/maintenance) No civil work, no dismantling and reassembling Easy connection to other electrical infrastructure Maximum mobility and flexibility Promote electrical network availability and the reduction in network downtime, commonly associated with maintenance activities or unexpected fault conditions Avoid the risk of making large investments in substations and other power sources where the site requiring power has a short or temporarily life time Integrated compact solution to fit on sites with space constraints Increased and spare capacity readily available when and where needed Reduce capital expenditure commonly associated with fixed or permanent power sources
