HIPOWER SYSTEMS’ new 60/130 model expands its EHR Battery Power Generator range with a higher-capacity three-phase solution designed to deliver reliable, flexible, and efficient power for a wide range of applications.
The EHR | Battery Power Generator is an advanced energy storage and power distribution system that provides silent, zero-emission power while operating in battery mode. The system can operate independently or be integrated with diesel or spark-ignited generator sets, connected to the public electrical grid, or combined with renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic solar panels.
At the heart of the EHR is HICORE, HIPOWER’s intelligent energy management technology. HICORE continuously manages and selects the most appropriate energy source according to charging and load conditions, helping optimize energy consumption, reduce fuel use and emissions, and maximize overall system efficiency.
The EHR 60/130 delivers even more power with increased versatility
The EHR 60/130 brings greater power capacity and versatility to the EHR range, offering a three-phase solution designed for demanding applications where reliable, flexible, and efficient power is essential.
The EHR range includes both single-phase and three-phase configurations, with different power and energy storage options to meet a variety of application requirements.
Designed to follow just three simple steps, the pre-configured working mode selector allows the user to configure the Battery Power Generator for different applications or modes of use, including Plug & Play, Power Booster, Light Loading, Peak Shaving, UPS, and Load Sharing. Together, these operating modes help improve energy efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability while reducing unnecessary fuel consumption, emissions, and operating costs.
The EHR 60/130 also comes standard with an Automatic Bypass feature, providing built-in redundancy to help ensure continuous power to the site.
If the battery system exits operating mode due to an alarm or fault condition, the Automatic Bypass seamlessly maintains the connection between the generator and the load. This system helps prevent power interruptions, minimize downtime, and provide an additional layer of reliability for critical applications.
HIPOWER prioritized a rental-friendly design
The EHR integrates the major components required for energy storage and power distribution into a compact, mobile canopy. The system incorporates LFP batteries, inverter technology, control systems, power connections, solar MC4 connectors, and MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology in a single integrated solution.
The EHR is designed for demanding operating environments, with a mobile rental canopy engineered to withstand a wide range of environmental conditions. The system can operate in temperatures ranging from 5 degrees F to 122 degrees F, while integrated electrical and mechanical protection systems help ensure safe and reliable operation.
The EHR uses Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery technology, engineered for long service life and frequent cycling. With a rated design life of up to 50,000 operating hours, the battery system is designed to provide dependable energy storage over extended periods of operation. When battery replacement is eventually required, the battery pack can be replaced quickly and economically.
The EHR can also provide high overload capacity for motor-starting applications, making it suitable for demanding loads that require additional starting power.
“This new product is undoubtedly another step forward in the energy transition process,” says Francisco Gracia, president and CEO of HIMOINSA. “We are continuing to develop new products based on alternative fuel and electrification technologies that will complement the traditional diesel and spark-ignited generator solutions HIMOINSA currently offers. Our goal is to continue reducing the carbon footprint through more efficient, flexible, and environmentally sustainable power solutions.”
The EHR 60/130 is designed for applications where power reliability, low noise, reduced emissions, and energy efficiency are essential. Ideal applications include urban and noise-sensitive environments, construction sites, commercial buildings, events, telecommunications, rental applications, light-loading applications, and renewable energy integration.
HICORE ensures the most optimal energy source is used depending on the energy requirements
HICORE is HIPOWER’s intelligent energy management system, designed to optimize the use of multiple power sources according to the load conditions at any given time. The system can manage and coordinate the EHR with diesel or spark-ignited generator sets, the public electrical grid, and renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic solar power.
At the heart of HICORE is a simple, intuitive interface designed to make system configuration and operation easy for users of all experience levels. Operators can select the most appropriate operating mode for their application, while HICORE continuously evaluates the load profile and available power sources to optimize energy use.
For maximum simplicity, the Plug & Play mode allows the EHR to automatically determine the most efficient operating strategy based on real-time analysis of the connected power sources and site load. This intelligent automation helps ensure that the available energy is used as efficiently as possible, while minimizing unnecessary fuel consumption and emissions.
The EHR was developed with simplicity, accessibility, and intelligent control at the core. Its user-focused design is built around two key principles:
User experience: An intuitive interface simplifies system configuration and operation. A guided start-up assistant walks the operator through the initial setup, helping ensure the EHR is configured correctly and ready to operate quickly.
Always connected: The EHR comes equipped with C4CLOUD, providing access to system performance, load profile, and operational data. Users can monitor, analyze, and manage the system locally or remotely via 4G connectivity, providing the information needed to optimize the power solution both on-site and from a distance.
Match diverse load requirements to stand-alone or hybrid battery power
The EHR can operate as a stand-alone battery power source, providing silent, zero-emission power during battery operation. It can also be integrated with a diesel or spark-ignited generator set to create an intelligent hybrid power solution that optimizes generator performance according to the site’s load requirements.
By combining battery energy storage with a generator set, the EHR helps reduce unnecessary generator runtime, improve load management, and significantly reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
The benefits of EHR and Generator Integration
- Extend generator life: Reduce unnecessary operating hours and minimize wear on the generator set.
- Reduce maintenance: Fewer generator operating hours can help reduce maintenance requirements by up to 50 percent.
- Reduce fuel consumption: Optimize generator operation and battery power to reduce fuel consumption by up to 40 percent.
- Optimize generator loading: Keep the generator operating within a more efficient load range, improving overall system performance.
- Avoid generator oversizing: Use stored battery energy to provide the additional starting power required by demanding electrical motors without the need to oversize the generator set.
