Inside the container sit various components such as the input isolators, cooling fans and extraction, voltage tap selection and medium/low voltage switchgear arrangement.
he recent Global Power Rental Market 2012–2016 report from Technavio forecasts the genset industry to grow at a compound
annual growth rate of 17% over that period. It also states that one of the key factors in this market growth is the increasing demand for electricity. Temporary power is an area that still
shows great potential and it is important that the industry keeps abreast of the benefi ts of products like multi-tap transformers in order to revolutionise power generation. We are seeing the regional and international temporary power business as the main driver behind the sales of
our step-up transformers, mostly where companies require a multi megawatt (MW) temporary power station at short notice. T ese can be provided by rental operators supplying reciprocating high- speed diesel and gas generators. Initially, industry leaders were tapping into areas where local energy providers were unable to supply power of the scale required or even at all, for example natural disasters or the London 2012 Olympics.
Where is the demand? Take, for example, Africa where there is an insatiable, unstoppable demand for power. A continent which contains some of the fastest growing economies however, transmission and distribution generation
