One of the UK’s largest tower crane suppliers has become the first customer for new industrial energy storage technology designed and assembled at Silverstone Park.
Dumarey Green Power unveiled its Revolution Battery earlier this month, confirming that Falcon Tower Crance Services Ltd as the launch customer.
The Revolution Battery (an industrial business energy storage system or ‘BESS’) incorporates a battery pack which can deliver high amounts of power for a comparatively small amount of energy storage.
This results in a smaller system with much reduced use of battery cells, higher efficiency and lower embedded emissions.
The technology is designed, developed and assembled at Dumarey Green Power’s two premises at Silverstone Park (10,000 sq ft combined) where the company employs 40 people, many of them mechanical and electrical engineers.
Falcon inked a contract to purchase the first production run prior to Vertikal Days (Europe’s largest vertical lifting equipment exhibition held in Nottinghamshire).
The deal extends a collaboration between the two companies, who continue to work together on deploying a fleet of Dumarey Green Power’s Peak Power 200 flywheel power systems into the market.
It is estimated that Dumarey Green Power has deployed around 250 highly durable, flywheel energy storage systems into industrial applications from its Silverstone Park HQ. These have saved in excess of 6.5 million litres of fuel & over 20,000 tonnes of CO2.
Tobias Knichel, Managing Director of Dumarey Green Power commented “The aim of our new Revolution Battery product is to minimize the amount of battery cells that need to be
used to achieve a high peak power.
“Revolution Battery not only saves on natural resources, but also allows the heaviest tower cranes in the country to be powered from only a small mains supply.”
He said the technology would “play a significant part in reducing the use of generators, avoiding wasted emissions and fuel usage”.
Flacon MD Andrew Brown enthused: “At Falcon, we have always been committed to leveraging the most innovative technologies to reduce our environmental impact and deliver sustainable solutions to our clients.
“The collaboration marks a significant step in our efforts to further reduce our reliance on traditional diesel generators and move towards a cleaner, more energy-efficient future.
“The Revolutions Battery’s ability to provide high peak power with minimal energy storage aligns perfectly with our operational needs and environmental goals.”
