Abstract
An energy supply module is configured to provide at least one of electricity and hot water to at least one load coupled thereto. The energy supply module includes a plurality of frame members that define an upper level and a lower level. The energy supply module also includes an engine positioned on the upper level and a generator coupled to the engine and also positioned on the upper level. The generator is configured to generate a supply of electricity for distribution to the at least one load. The energy supply module further includes a hot water heater positioned on the upper level, wherein the hot water heater is configured to provide a supply of hot water to the at least one load.
Claims20
An energy supply module configured to provide at least one of electricity and hot water to at least one load coupled thereto, said energy supply module comprising:
- a plurality of frame members that define an upper level and a lower level;
- an engine positioned on said upper level;
- a generator coupled to said engine and positioned on said upper level, said generator configured to generate a supply of electricity for distribution to the at least one load;
- a hot water heater positioned on said upper level, said hot water heater configured to provide a supply of hot water to the at least one load;
- and
- a pair of electric control panels coupled to said generator and positioned on opposing sides of said energy supply module, wherein each electric control panel includes at least one of a plurality of interchangeable power distribution panels removably coupled thereto, each of said plurality of power distribution panels including a plurality of electrical connectors configured to receive a corresponding connector from the at least one load, wherein said plurality of interchangeable power distribution panels are interchangeable based on a desired configuration of said plurality of electrical connectors.
An energy supply module configured to provide electricity to at least one load coupled thereto, said energy supply module comprising:
- a plurality of frame members that define an upper level and a lower level;
- an engine positioned on said upper level;
- a generator coupled to said engine and positioned on said upper level, said generator configured to generate a supply of electricity for distribution to the at least one load;
- and
- a pair of electric control panels coupled to said generator and positioned on opposing sides of said energy supply module, wherein each electric control panel includes at least one of a plurality of interchangeable power distribution panels removably coupled thereto, each of said plurality of power distribution panels including a distinct configuration of electrical connectors configured to receive a corresponding connector from the at least one load.
A method of assembling an energy supply module configured to provide electricity to at least one load coupled thereto, said method comprising:
- defining an upper level and a lower level of the energy supply module with a plurality of frame members;
- positioning an engine on said upper level;
- coupling a generator to the engine on said upper level, wherein the generator is configured to generate a supply of electricity for distribution to the at least one load;
- coupling a pair of electric control panels to the generator, wherein the electric control panels are coupled to opposing sides of the energy supply module;
- and
- removably coupling at least one of a plurality of interchangeable power distribution panels to each electric control panel, wherein each of the plurality of power distribution panels includes a plurality of electrical connectors configured to receive a corresponding connector from the at least one load, wherein the plurality of interchangeable power distribution panels are interchangeable based on a desired configuration of the electrical connectors.
