Remote mining operations often rely entirely on diesel generation. Fuel logistics, cost volatility and maintenance downtime make pure diesel power expensive and operationally fragile. CASDE designed a hybrid architecture that prioritizes solar generation and battery storage during daylight and shoulder periods, starting diesel gensets only when load or state-of-charge requires it.

System Scope

The package included PV interface coordination, containerized LFP battery energy storage, silent canopy diesel generators, LV distribution and a hybrid energy management system (EMS).

• Containerized BESS for peak shaving and night shoulder support
• Silent diesel gensets with automatic start / stop logic
• EMS modes for fuel saving, backup and black-start readiness
• Export packing and remote commissioning guidance

Business Outcome

The client gained a clearer OPEX path: lower average diesel runtime, more predictable power for camp loads, and a scalable platform for future PV expansion. This model is repeatable for oil camps, islands and off-grid industrial sites with similar load profiles.
