Does KDT provide mobile battery energy storage?
Mobile Battery Energy Storage & Hybrid Power
Yes.
KDT provides mobile battery energy storage systems and hybrid generator-battery power, delivered and connected on your incident, so camps, comms sites and command posts run quietly overnight with less fuel and generator runtime.
Typical configuration
- Storage
- About 15–600 kWh per unit (typical)
- Inverter output
- About 10–250 kW continuous, 120/240 V or 120/208 V 3-phase, some 277/480 V
- Chemistry
- Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) most common
- Charging
- Generator, grid or solar input, with an auto-start signal to the generator
- Noise
- Near silent on battery
- Monitoring
- Remote state-of-charge and load monitoring on many units
Most incident generators are oversized for most of the day. A camp that needs 150 kW at dinner may pull 20 kW at 3 a.m., and a diesel generator running that lightly burns fuel inefficiently, builds up unburned fuel in the exhaust (wet stacking) and wears out. A mobile battery system fixes that. It's a trailer or skid-mounted lithium battery bank with an inverter that carries the load directly, and the generator only starts to recharge it or to cover the peaks.
Run that way (hybrid power), generator runtime and fuel use drop, overnight noise near sleeping areas goes away, and the battery carries the load during refueling or a generator swap. Small battery units also run comms sites, cameras and Starlink terminals off solar with no generator at all.
KDT sizes the battery and inverter from your load profile, connects it between the generator and distribution with standard camlock and twist-lock connections, and monitors charge state on our rounds or remotely.
Available as
- Portable power stations (about 1–5 kWh) for comms and medical gear
- Trailer-mounted battery systems (tens to hundreds of kWh)
- Hybrid generator-plus-battery packages
- Solar-plus-battery trailers
- Battery bridging for generator swaps and refueling
What's included
- Load profile review and sizing
- Delivery and connection
- Generator auto-start integration
- Charge and load monitoring
- Fuel and maintenance plan for the paired generator
- Pickup at demob
Where it's used
- Sleeping areas and quiet zones
- ICPs, communications and IT
- Remote repeater, camera and Starlink sites
- Long-duration camps
- Medical units that need uninterrupted power
Questions, answered.
Does KDT provide mobile battery energy storage?
Yes. We supply mobile battery systems and hybrid generator-battery packages, connect them to your distribution and monitor them for the length of the incident.
How much fuel does hybrid power save?
It depends on the load profile. Sites with light overnight loads see the biggest savings, because the generator can shut off for hours instead of idling at low load. We estimate it from your actual loads before we recommend it.
Can a battery system run without a generator?
Small loads can, on solar or between charges. For camp-scale loads the battery works with a generator, which recharges it and carries the peaks.
Does battery power work with existing generators and spider boxes?
Yes. It connects with standard camlock and twist-lock connections between the generator and the distribution.
