How Cement Plants Can Electrify Construction Machinery with Energy Storage
Energy Storage–Powered Green Transformation for a Cement Plant
A Commercial & Industrial Energy Storage Solution for Construction Machinery Electrification
As global industries accelerate toward decarbonization, cement plants—among the most energy-intensive industrial sectors—are under increasing pressure to reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions, particularly in auxiliary and construction operations that rely heavily on diesel-powered machinery.
To address this challenge, MH Energy partnered with the cement plant’s power management team to implement a commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage project focused on replacing diesel power for excavator operations. The project has successfully completed equipment installation, system commissioning, and has now entered the trial operation phase, marking a key milestone in the plant’s green energy transition.
Project Background: Electrifying Construction Machinery in High-Energy Industries
In traditional cement plant operations, construction machinery such as excavators depends largely on diesel fuel, resulting in:
High operating and fuel costs
Significant carbon emissions
Noise and maintenance challenges
Limited energy efficiency
This project targets construction machinery energy substitution, using a customized energy storage solution to provide high-power, flexible, and reliable electricity for heavy-duty equipment—without compromising productivity.
The result is a practical pathway for reducing fossil fuel dependence while maintaining operational efficiency.
Integrated C&I Energy Storage Deployment Model
“Equipment Supply + Scenario-Based Implementation”
This project represents an innovative cross-industry integration of energy storage technology and construction machinery, using an implementation model that combines:
Industrial-grade equipment supply
Real-world application scenario deployment
Despite challenges such as outdoor construction conditions, dust, high temperatures, and demanding operational cycles, the MH Energy project team efficiently completed:
Equipment transportation
On-site installation
System integration and commissioning
Several excavators have already begun trial operation using the new energy storage power supply, with initial testing confirming successful diesel power replacement.
