Autonomous Power Supply for Gas Infrastructure in Ukraine
For remote facilities of gas infrastructure — a completely autonomous energy source where power lines are absent or their construction is economically unfeasible.
What Requires Power at a Remote Gas Facility
For autonomous wells and gas sites, it is necessary to ensure a reliable power supply for a wide range of equipment — from sensors to telemetry and signaling systems.
Such facilities require continuous data transmission to the dispatcher, prompt notification of emergency events, and guaranteed power for local automation. If the power supply is lost, the facility loses not only communication but also controllability, which poses a direct risk to safety.
Specialists of "Total-Energo" LLC design and integrate complete energy systems tailored to the specific operating profile of the site.
Typical Consumers at a Gas Facility
1 Pressure and temperature sensors
2 Field meters and pressure-temperature gauges
3 Controller, RTU, or telemetry cabinet
4 GSM/LTE/radio modems and antenna equipment
5 Gas analyzers and gas detectors
6 Light and sound alarms
7 Local control panels
Remote sites cover a wide range of gas infrastructure:
For GRP — a Separate List of Monitored Parameters
For gas distribution points, telemetry is used to monitor inlet and outlet pressure, filter differential pressure, gas presence, temperature, gas flow, safety shut-off valve (SSV) and relief valve (RV) status, as well as grid power failure events.
What an Off-Grid System Is Built From
Main Components
The foundation of autonomous power supply is solar panels, which charge the battery bank through an MPPT charge controller.
Battery banks store energy for night-time operation, during cloudy periods, and form an emergency reserve.
In the presence of AC loads, a 230 V / 50 Hz inverter is applied.
DC and AC Bus Separation
At remote autonomous facilities, there are DC consumers: telemetry, controllers, sensors, GSM modems, and executive automation.
In such cases, the system is built with separate DC and AC buses so that each load receives optimal power without unnecessary energy losses.
What the Customer Gets
Why a Systemic Approach Matters
An autonomous power supply system for a remote gas facility is an engineering solution where every component affects the reliability of the entire chain. An error in calculating battery capacity, incorrect selection of a charge controller, or an underestimated load profile can lead to the system failing during its first winter.
This is why we work on a full-cycle basis — from initial consultation to service support during long-term operation.

Real-Time System Status Control
It is worth focusing separately on the capabilities of the power supply monitoring system for gas facilities, where it is critical to know the system status without visiting the site. Modern solutions allow combining dozens and even hundreds of facilities into a single cloud platform.
What This Means for the Gas Industry
An emergency situation is diagnosed remotely even before the crew leaves, and scheduled maintenance is planned based on actual equipment status data, rather than a calendar schedule.
Which Components We Use
Selection Principle
Exclusively products from manufacturers in the European Union, Northern Europe, and the USA — guaranteed to meet the declared technical parameters, backed by proper warranty obligations and high-quality technical documentation.
Solar panels are an exception, as they are mostly produced in the PRC.

Technical Audit Before Signing the Contract
Have Doubts About the Proposed Solution?
The market for autonomous power supply systems in Ukraine is growing actively, but along with it, the number of offers from contractors who lack sufficient engineering competence is also increasing. Incorrect selection of components, reduction of battery capacity, mismatch of the inverter with the real load profile, or errors in insolation calculation — all this leads to the system failing to perform its declared functions and requiring expensive refinement.
If you have been offered a ready-made solution and you doubt its correctness — contact us for an independent technical audit service. We are not an equipment supplier within this specific project, so our assessment is completely objective.
What Is Checked During the Audit
During the audit, compliance of the selected components with the technical specifications, correctness of energy calculations, adequacy of the autonomy reserve, correctness of schematic solutions, and justification of the commercial proposal are checked.
- Compliance of components with the technical specifications
- Correctness of energy calculations
- Adequacy of the autonomy reserve
- Correctness of schematic solutions
- Justification of the commercial proposal
Audit Result
Based on the results, you receive a written engineering conclusion with specific findings and recommendations — a document that allows you to make an informed decision before signing a contract with a contractor.
