To meet the broad range of power range, the first eco hybrid power station by AEG Power Solutions has now started working. The complete integrated solution was part of a contract signed with OPT (Office des Postes &Telecommunications) in New Caledonia last year.

 It combines solar and wind energy with batteries, and a genset as emergency back-up. The eco integrated Hybrid system manages the network site power from end-to-end, offering substantial operating costs reduction, security, reliability and a huge carbon footprint improvement.

According to a press release, the eco integrated Hybrid system manages the network site power from end-to-end, providing substantial operating costs reduction, security, reliability and a huge carbon footprint improvement.

“It’s a major achievement for us because it clearly demonstrates, even in quite extreme conditions, the capabilities of eco and the benefits such an installation can bring. Our R&D team has worked with our customer and was able to adjust the system live when we were starting and testing the installation. Demonstrating eco benefits is a major step for AEGPS in the Telecom market as eco’s unique architecture can really help operators to meet their cost and carbon challenges, explains Dominique Manet, vice president of the Communication business within the Energy Efficiency SBU of AEG Power Solutions.

AEG Power Solutions eco Hybrid power solution was the perfect match for this challenge. It combines renewable solar and wind energy with battery storage and, when required, a stand-by diesel generator. It manages the network site power from end-to-end, from energy generation to energy storage, including load surveillance and remote supervision.

The energy sources comprise a group of solar panels, capable of generating up to 11kW, and a 5 kW wind turbine, plus 2 set of batteries of 3000 Ah. One diesel genset has been kept as a back-up and is started automatically on demand by the eco system.

 In other company news, TMCnet reported that AEG Power Solutions launched its next generation 3-phase UPS family, PROTECT Blue, in order to ensure the continuity of IT services and reduce risk of downtime caused by power outages.
