Because Pnu Power Compressed Air Batteries require only periodic inspection, they are ideal for remote, unmanned installations
challenge
- protect abertis telecom’s digital broadcast transmitter at Palleja, in the Catalonian mountains
- provide ride-through power for the site’s generator installation, while minimising generator cut-in to reduce CO2 emissions
- operate reliably in an unmanned, remote installation.
solution
- Pnu Power 10™ with 380V 50Hz input and 380V three phase output
- integrated automatic recharge compressor and cylinder pack, with 35 Bar (507.5 PSI) air store
- complete system installed in the existing building, occupying a small footprint (external installation was an option)
benefits
- reliable UPS with reduced use of the diesel generator, which has a minimum operating cycle of 20 minutes
- no requirement for climate-controlled housing, even in harsh conditions: operating temperature -40 to +50°C (-40 to +122°F)
- very low maintenance, energy consumption and whole-life OPEX costs
