4 FAQs about Asian containerized power generation

Can microgrids and containerization serve the power needs of water-scarce island states?

Microgrids and containerization can serve the power needs of water-scarce island states in the region. The demand for electricity in Asia and the Pacific is rapidly growing. An expanding population needs power at home, as do national economies to create employment and reduce poverty.

What is a containerized system?

Containerized systems have been used for decades in the telecommunications industry, for instance to deploy data centers and mobile base stations in rural or remote areas. Standard intermodal freight containers can be shipped anywhere in the world in a period of weeks at relatively low cost.

What are containerized solutions?

Containerized solutions, featuring a package of renewable generation, batteries, power converters, a control system, cooling and ventilation, and fire protection—all housed in modified shipping containers—are a logical way to achieve economies of scale.

Can a modular desalination plant be integrated into a containerized microgrid?

A modular desalination plant integrated into a containerized microgrid offers a unique solution for improving energy access and addressing water constraints in such remote locations. Overall control of the desalination operation can be done remotely by an intelligent, integrated energy and process management system.
