400kW BESS Paired with 400kVA Generator
We paired one of our 400kW BESS units with a client’s existing 400kVA diesel generator to optimise runtime and reduce light loading, fuel use, emissions, noise and servicing demand.
Project Snapshot
Key Outcomes
This project experienced the following results:
Reduced light loading
Generator operation optimised through BESS support
Lower carbon emissions
Cleaner operating profile
Reduced site noise
Quieter operation during lower load periods
Longer service intervals
Less strain on generator equipment
What It Powered
Project Summary
GeneRent paired one of our 400kW BESS units with a client’s existing 400kVA diesel generator to improve the efficiency of the overall power setup.
The battery system helps absorb lower-load periods that would otherwise leave the generator operating inefficiently, particularly during extended light-loading conditions.
By reducing light loading, fuel use, carbon emissions, site noise and servicing demand, the system supports both better day-to-day performance and longer equipment life.
Project Insight
A BESS can greatly improve generator efficiency even when working alongside an existing client-owned unit.
Technical Details
Before / After

Higher diesel consumption
Reduced diesel use
Higher service demands
Longer service intervals
More generator wear
Increased equipment lifetime
Reduce Diesel Runtime With A Smarter Rental Power Setup
Already have a generator on site? GeneRent can integrate rental BESS with existing equipment to reduce fuel burn, noise and servicing demand.
