Global Temporary Power Market - Key Trends & Drivers Summarized
Temporary power systems refer to electrical energy sources that can be used when there is disruption of regular supply of electricity. In others words, these are emergency power solutions that come into play to offer electricity to critical systems when a grid breakdown happens. They are self-contained electric power sources, generated by batteries, UPS, or generators, and are used to prevent losses and risky situations that can happen on account of unexpected disruption of supply of electric power. Temporary power systems are portable and mobile and are made available on a rental basis. They find use in various application areas such as manufacturing, telecommunication, oil and gas, hospitals, utilities, mining, data centers, ships, and construction, among others. A temporary power source is a short term solution for situations in which there is no availability of a permanent source of power and also for construction projects and during events. It is also used for providing electricity for remote areas. Cost-effectiveness, energy efficiency and long term reliability are the major advantages with permanent power supply.Technological advancements have played a significant role, with innovations leading to more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly power solutions.
