PowerCore powering the Death Star

BYOP: Bring Your Own Power

Reading Time: 2 minutesRemember the Death Star? Yeah, that “small moon” designed by the Empire to destroy planets? The Death Star was essentially a sovereign, standalone outpost in the middle of space. Way off grid. It can make one wonder what they did to generate power out there. Did they rent? Was a microgrid set up in the basement? What kind of fuel powered the electrical generation equipment? And ultimately, why didn’t they put a rain cap on the exhaust port? My money is on natural gas generators providing power because all it took was one missile, down an exhaust port the size of a Wamp rat, to ignite the whole thing into a ball of flame and sparks. In the vacuum of space, no less. Natural gas is the most logical fuel source for powering the Death Star, as its clean burning characteristics would be compliant with imperial emissions regulations. Ultimately it led to its downfall, well, that and the ability of Luke Skywalker to guide missiles with his mind. So, what are the similarities between the Death Star and a data

Do Natural Gas Generators Work In The Cold?

Reading Time: 3 minutesWe get calls every day asking if natural gas generators will work in extremely cold or extremely hot temperatures. Given the wide range of differences that exist in the oil and gas plays globally, our units are tried, tested and proven in the major production fields around the world. “Do Natural Gas Generators Work in the Cold?” Why do we feel it’s important to address this question? So you can better understand how a natural gas generator can help your business function at optimal efficiency. Do Mesa natural gas generators work in your climate? Let’s find out. Location, Climate, & Range of Temperatures for Natural Gas Generators Consider your climate as it changes throughout the seasons. Obviously, we don’t know your specific conditions yet, but we hope for the opportunity to find out. On average, it’s a simple task to deliver a natural gas generator. However, setting up for an efficient work operation is another task entirely. We get calls every day asking, “will your generator work in_____________.” Our short answer is, “Yes.” Our systems work in nearly any climate.

Various Electric Utility Types With Mesa Natural Gas Solutions

Reading Time: 4 minutesMesa Solutions understands the ins and outs of all the power generation options in our industry. It is this experience that allows Mesa to work through the variables relative to power generation options and create a system that works the best to meet the needs of our customers. Serving our customers is of the utmost importance. Of the many methods of power generation, using electrical utility sources is a big player. This article’s aim is to inform you about the various electric utility types. In contrast to the relatively simple rental relationship offered by portable generator rental vendors, the customer experience with various electric utility types are often much more complex.  Such complexity is usually a function of organizational structure, funding scheme, and the fact that there are several different types of electric utilities. Relative to the various electric utility types in the United States, we have three primary types; the IOU’s (Investor Owned Utilities,) the Coops (rural electric cooperatives,) and the Muni’s (municipal owned systems.) Investor Owned Utilities Of the various electric utility types, IOUs are probably the oldest identifiable type
