Unreliable grid power or excessive use of generator power is often expensive. Winafrique has introduced a new, cost effective and reliable way to enhance the performance of stand alone gensets. The line of products called the Power Enhancer is designed to supply an extremely reliable power solution which maximizes the efficiency of each of its components to ensure lowest cost per kWh.

The power enhancer is designed to handle fluctuating load demands. It provides on-demand, high quality, and 24hr electricity but at a running cost well below the level associated with stand alone generator sets.

The system uses proprietary controls that ensure that the diesel gensets runs at full capacity and that any excess energy is stored in an energy storage device i.e. batteries. When the generator is off, the system uses interactive sinewave inverters to deliver high quality electricity to the loads. The entire operation is fully automatic with the efficiency and safety governed by the controls. As a result the running hours of a typical Genset will be between 8 -12 hrs depending on the load size and sizing.

Benefits of a Power Enhancer:

• Low fuel costs since the gensets are configured to run at optimal loads thus better fuel efficiency. The gensets running time is also reduced to up to 8hrs. This reduces the frequency of delivery and thus delivery costs.
• Lower Maintenance costs due to optimized generator usage reduce the incidence of carbon build up and in wall cylinder glazing.
• Longer life expectancy due to reduced wear and tear of the generators.
• Environmentally friendly operations due to reduced noise and greenhouse gas pollutions.
• Worthy Investment due to reduced fuel and maintenance costs, longer generator and equipment lifespan and savings of up to 30%. The power enhancers can achieve payback periods of between 2-3 years.

Winafrique has installed a number of power enhancers in the telecommunication sector for leading Mobile Network Operators in Kenya with very good results.
