FishMatch Group · Energy Resilience

Backup power for aquaculture that survives real outages.

RAS, hatcheries, shrimp farms and cold storage are life-critical loads. FishMatch prepares neutral, bankable power engineering — generators, solar-hybrid, LFP battery, UPS, ATS and remote monitoring — and issues RFQs to project-matched suppliers under NDA.

The full backup-power stack

Diesel & gas generators

Prime and standby gensets for aeration, life-support, freezers and pumping.

  • Load audit → prime kW & standby kW sizing
  • Fuel storage, bunding, day tank, spill containment
  • Sound attenuation, exhaust routing, cooling

Solar-hybrid systems

PV + LFP battery + diesel backup — the modern default for coastal and remote aquaculture.

  • Load-shift aeration/pumping into daylight
  • Cut diesel spend 50–90% depending on latitude
  • Grid-tied, hybrid and off-grid configurations

Battery storage (LFP)

Ride-through and autonomy for life-critical loads on RAS, hatcheries and cold storage.

  • Sized on autonomy hours × critical load, not headline kWh
  • LFP chemistry for high cycle life and thermal safety
  • Integrated with genset via ATS or hybrid inverter

UPS & ATS

Uninterrupted power for controls, sensors, monitoring and refrigeration transitions.

  • Online double-conversion UPS for PLCs and monitoring
  • Automatic transfer switches with genset priority logic
  • Redundant paths for life-support and freezers

Remote monitoring & alarms

Because unmanned outages kill fish, shrimp and margin.

  • SMS/app alarms on power loss, ATS failure, low fuel
  • Cloud dashboards for gen hours, kWh, battery SoC
  • Integrated with farm SCADA or standalone

Fuel & maintenance strategy

OPEX is where most projects underestimate — model it before RFQ.

  • Genset hours target vs LCOE with PV+battery
  • Fuel supply agreements and price hedging
  • Preventive maintenance plan aligned with warranty

Aquaculture Power Requirement Calculator

Every backup-power design starts from the same question: how many kW does the farm actually consume — and how many of those kW are critical (life-support) versus non-critical (lights, offices, processing)? This tool sums the main aquaculture loads so you can size a generator, UPS or solar-hybrid system correctly.

Not every load runs at max at once.

Common mistakes we catch at RFQ stage

  • Sizing the genset on peak instantaneous load instead of the true life-critical envelope
  • Ignoring fuel logistics on remote sites — genset arrives, fuel supply chain doesn't
  • Buying batteries on kWh headline instead of usable-energy-under-real-cycle
  • No ATS logic for cold-chain freezers — a bad startup sequence trips the whole plant
  • Missing UPS on controls / SCADA — power returns but the farm is blind for hours
  • Optimising LCOE on paper but forgetting warranty and preventive-maintenance OPEX

Turn your load audit into a bankable RFQ.

Neutral engineering, confidential sourcing, comparable bids. Buyers never pay.
