Outdoor Hybrid Power Solutions
TRADITIONAL SITE POWER SOLUTION PROBLEMS
Traditional power solutions for mobile sites are not ideal for remote locations
with poor grid availability or complete off grid applications, especially in high
temperature regions or other rough weather conditions.
Complex custom site engineering is required resulting in:
High capital investment costs for equipments and civil
engineering works
Costly and diffcult deployment
High cooling costs
Regular refueling and maintenance
High fuel costs
Overall very high operational costs for low revenue sites
b+w HYBRID SOLUTIONS:
Reliable Grid Sites - Stand alone AC Solar Cube
Solar power and battery backup supplemented by reliable AC mains
Unstable Grid Sites - AC Solar Cube plus Hybrid Cube
Solar power and battery backup supplemented by unreliable AC mains
with standby DC generator
Off Grid Sites - DC Solar Cube plus Hybrid Cube
Solar power and battery backup supplemented with standby DC generator
b+w HYBRID POWER SYSTEM ADVANTAGES
Reduced capital investment in equipment and civil engineering works
Single installation for Power and BTS. No need for BTS shelter
Compact solution for easy installation
Reduced operational and maintenance costs due to:
Reduced fuel requirements with no air conditioning requirements
High effciency power system with DC bus based system and no
conversion losses
One year maintenance and refueling interval based on a 1kW 24/7
load typical for BTS
Long life high temperature resistant batteries increasing
replacement intervals
Vandalism proof enclosures with hidden hinges increasing security
for installed components
Intelligent system controller for local or remote system control
and monitoring

HybridCube
Off-Grid Energy Supply
The HybridCube provides an energy saving off grid source of
electrical power for outdoor telecom systems, especially in locations
with poor grid availability. It is an optimized hybrid system utilizing
sun, wind and diesel. The sole usage of a 48V DC bus eliminates
losses for conversion, the combination with low energy outdoor
system like SolarCube reduces operational cost to a maximum.
Features / Benefts
Very compact and totally independent off-grid energy
supply system
High effcient Solar modules (19,5%) with MPP tracker
(4*240W peak)
Diesel generator powered and passive cooled with
1440l diesel tank
Low fuel consumption due to highest technological
components
Battery shelves for up to 1200Ah (Lithium-Ion), up to 3000
battery cycles
Optional 1kW Wind turbine
1 year autonomy/maintenance interval
SolarCube
Advanced Outdoor Cabinet
The basic function of the Advanced Outdoor Cabinet is to rectify
the AC mains applied at its input, in order to supply a DC power for
the operation of the base station and other embedded equipment.
In the event of AC mains interruption or total loss of AC mains, the
Advanced Outdoor Cabinet provides a backup to keep the base
station running for a specifed period of time.
To optimise the effciency of the total power system solution, the
solar panels are cooled utilising the cabinet cooling system air
outlets in the roof. As a secondary effect the solar panels help
cabinet cooling by protecting it from direct solar radiation.
Features / Benefts
IP55 Aluminium outdoor cabinet
Double wall construction with insulation material designed for
minimal operating cost
Adaptive heat management concept
Increased surface area for better heat dissipation
Supplement solar energy source to reduce operational cost
GE Power Electronics 97% high effciency rectifers
GE Power Electronics Galaxy Pulsar system controller with
internet communication.
Flexible 19 rack mounting for customer load equipments
Li-Ion Battery - high temp resistance
Front accessible for installation and maintenance
Vandalism protected
Isolation transformer
Integrated lightning protection
Reduces power consumption up to 85%
