Mobile and stationary energy systems

Battery systems for mobile and stationary energy storage – flexible, high-performance and ready for series production.

Security of supply starts with the right system.
Temporary power supply must cope with changing operational conditions and high performance requirements. The systems must be transportable, safe and readily available, and must be compatible with the infrastructure and load profile. The key factor is how reliably the required energy is available at the site of operation.

High performance. Varying load profiles.

Loading, drilling, lifting or supplying power generates a wide range of continuous and peak loads. The battery system must provide sufficient energy, cope with sudden changes in load, and be able to deliver its power reliably even after repeated charge and discharge cycles.

Mobile in the field. Rugged in operation.

Mobile battery containers, trailers and power supply modules are regularly moved between locations. Transport, vibration, dust, humidity and temperature fluctuations place high demands on the housing, cooling system, interfaces and safety design.

Quick to integrate. Economical to scale.

From the pilot application through to repeatable series production, the electrical architecture, charging capacity, mains interface and mechanical integration must all be compatible. Taking industrialisation into account at an early stage shortens the path to a ready-to-use product and creates a robust foundation for further variants.

Energy supply requires more than just storage capacity.

The key factor is how the storage system, power electronics, control system, interfaces and transport concept work together.

That is why Handtmann develops solutions that can be adapted to the location, power requirements and infrastructure.

Four solution areas. Tailored to the location of use and energy requirements.
Mobile and stationary energy storage systems differ not only in terms of their capacity. The decisive factor is how energy is transported, supplied, charged and integrated into the respective application process. Four solution areas bring together the different system approaches and provide clear guidance.

Mobile Energy Storage Systems

Portable turnkey systems for the storage, control and supply of electrical energy at various locations, for example as Mobile Energy Storage Systems (MESS) or Hybrid Mobile Storage.

Typical configurations

· Battery trailers

· Mobile generator replacement systems

Containerized Battery Storage

Robust and modularly scalable storage systems for temporary, grid-supported or off-grid energy supply, for example as containerised battery storage or construction site energy storage.

Typical configurations

· Energy containers with integrated batteries

· Power supply modules for construction sites

Mobile Charging and Power Exchange Systems

Flexible systems for charging and rapid energy exchange in electric machines and vehicles, for example as mobile charging infrastructure or battery swap and energy systems.

Typical designs

· Mobile DC charging stations

· Mobile fast-charging systems

· Battery swap systems

Temporary and Off-Grid Power Supply

Energy supply tailored to requirements for sites, machinery and plant without a sufficiently high-capacity mains connection, for example as temporary power systems or off-grid power supplies.

Typical configurations

· Drilling rigs

· mobile cranes

· Mining and tunnelling machinery

Four areas of application. Many ways to make energy available.
The specific system design is based on actual use. Applications and typical configurations are therefore considered together, rather than separately.

Construction Sites and Temporary Power Supply

Mobile power storage units provide energy where there is no mains supply, where the mains supply is too weak, or where it will only become available at a later date. They power electrical equipment, reduce generator running times and enable construction site processes with lower emissions.

Applications: Mobile battery storage systems for construction sites · mobile power supply for events and temporary sites · peak shaving for temporary grid connections

Examples: Mobile battery trailers · Energy containers with integrated batteries · Power supply modules for construction sites · Mobile generator replacement systems

Charging Electric Machinery and Vehicles

Mobile charging infrastructure delivers high charging power directly to the site of operation. This means that electric construction machinery and specialist vehicles can be operated even without a permanently installed charging infrastructure.

Applications: Charging infrastructure for electric construction machinery · mobile fast-charging systems

Examples: Mobile DC charging stations · Battery trailers with charging outputs · Portable fast-charging modules

Power for Drilling, Mining, and Specialized Equipment

High-power machinery requires a stable and tailored energy supply, even at off-grid locations. Mobile storage systems can cover peak loads, supplement generator-based systems or enable fully electric operating concepts.

Applications: Power supply for drilling rigs · Battery containers for off-grid applications

Examples: Drilling rigs · mobile cranes · mining and tunnelling machinery · mobile power packs

Renewable Energy and Flexible Deployment Logistics

Replaceable battery systems minimise charging downtime and increase machine availability. Charged energy modules can be prepared independently of the vehicle and swapped flexibly between job sites.

Applications: Swapable battery systems (Battery Swap)

Examples: Battery swap systems for construction machinery · mobile battery modules · transportable energy containers

Development · System Integration · Industrialisation

From load profile to a production-ready energy system.

Handtmann Systemtechnik regards the battery, power electronics, thermal management, control systems, interfaces and mechanical integration as an integrated system. This results in a solution that not only works at the prototype stage, but can also be manufactured safely, reliably and cost-effectively.

  • System development – design of capacity, voltage, power, charging behaviour and safety architecture based on the actual operating profile

  • Customised battery systems – bespoke energy storage solutions for mobile, stationary and hybrid applications

  • System integration – coordination of the battery, power electronics, cooling, control systems, and charging and grid interfaces

  • Industrialisation and series production – reliable transition from prototype to scalable production processes
Our solutions

This is what makes us well-suited to mobile and stationary energy storage systems.

01

The system is determined by the operational profile

We do not size energy storage systems solely on the basis of their rated capacity. Peak loads, cycles, charging windows, transport, the environment and available grid connection are all factored into the system architecture. This results in a solution that is technically and economically suited to real-world operation.

02

Mobile and stationary requirements considered together

Portability, robust housings and changing operating locations are combined with network interfaces, power electronics and energy management. Handtmann integrates these requirements into a comprehensive system solution, thereby reducing the number of interfaces and the effort required for coordination.

03

From development to reproducible series production

Handtmann combines development, validation, industrialisation and series production. This transforms individual energy concepts into robust products that can be manufactured to a consistent standard of quality, scaled up and further developed into additional variants.

What suppliers and operators of energy systems are asking.

Mobile battery storage systems can charge electric construction machinery and specialist vehicles, supply power to building sites and temporary locations, support drilling rigs and mobile cranes, or be used as a replacement for generators and as a peak-shaving system. The specific design depends on power output, energy requirements, duration of use and the existing infrastructure.

A mobile solution is suitable when energy is required at varying locations or where the charging and supply infrastructure needs to remain flexible. Stationary systems are appropriate when the focus is on peak loads, grid support or a permanently installed supply. Hybrid concepts can combine both requirements.

Yes. We take a holistic view of the energy system and coordinate the battery system, power electronics, thermal management, control systems, and charging and grid interfaces. The scope and boundaries of responsibility are defined jointly at the start of the project.

Ideally, this should begin with the load profile, system architecture and packaging. The earlier performance, energy requirements, transport concept, charging infrastructure and design for manufacturing are considered together, the fewer subsequent rounds of adjustments and industrialisation risks there will be.
