ATK Aerospace Systems Case Study

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
