Two shifts. Six days a week.
Beneath the busy streets of North Jakarta.

That is the operational rhythm of the Jakarta Sewerage Development Project.
At its core, a Microtunnel Boring Machine operates continuously—without interruption.

This machine requires up to 566 kW at peak load.
There is zero tolerance for power failure.

In such conditions, a single electrical disturbance can halt the entire operation.

The Real Challenge: High and Fluctuating Power Demand

The issue is not just the magnitude of power.
The real challenge lies in load fluctuation.

This variation causes generators to operate inefficiently.
Most of the time, they run far below their optimal capacity.

This difference makes the generator inefficient.
Most of the time, the generator operates far below its optimal capacity.

Turning Point: Transition to AMPD 400H

The project team began searching for a better solution.

The answer: AMPD 400H
A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) designed to stabilize and optimize power usage.

🔋 Technical Specifications: AMPD 400H

Parameter Capacity / Value
⚡ Nominal Power 386 kW
🚀 Overload Capacity 585 kW
📈 Surge Current Up to 904 A
🔋 Battery Capacity 430 kWh
⏱️ Response Time Milliseconds (Instant)

How AMPD 400H Works

AMPD 400H acts as an energy buffer:

  • Stores energy during low load conditions
  • Releases energy during peak demand
  • Maintains voltage stability
  • Responds in milliseconds

Unlike conventional generators, there is no delay in response.

Real Results on Site

After deployment and commissioning at the Pluit site:

Operational Performance

Parameter Target Actual
System Uptime >99% 99.9%
Power Interruption 0 0
Noise Complaint 0 0
Regulatory Issues 0 0

Financial Performance

Cost Component Diesel (Generator) AMPD 400H Potential Savings
Fuel Cost / Month 180 – 220 Million IDR 120 – 145 Million IDR 60 – 75 Million IDR
Generator Rental 45 Million IDR 0 45 Million IDR
Maintenance High Low ±87% Reduction
Total OPEX Saving 30% – 35%

Why AMPD 400H Is Effective

There are several key reasons:

1. Ultra-fast response time
The system reacts within milliseconds.

2. Stable power output
No voltage drop during load spikes.

3. Low noise level
Ideal for urban environments.

4. Zero onsite emissions
Environmentally friendly operation.

Relevance for Mining Applications

This project shares strong similarities with mining operations:

  • Fluctuating load profiles
  • Continuous operations
  • High risk of downtime

This is why energy storage systems in mining are becoming increasingly relevant.

More Than Just a Generator Replacement

AMPD 400H is not merely a substitute for generators.

It delivers:

  • Power stability
  • Cost efficiency
  • Reduced operational risk

For modern projects, this is becoming the new standard.
