The complete integrated solution was part of a contract signed with Office des Postes &Telecommunications(OPT) in New Caledonia last year, and it combines solar and wind energy with batteries, and a genset as emergency back-up.
The ecopx 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.
AEG Power Solutions has received a contract from OPT for another BTS site near Lac de Yate, in the south of the mainland.
AEG Power Solutions ecopx Hybrid power solution combines renewable solar and wind energy with battery storage and, when required, a stand-by diesel generator.
The energy sources of the ecopx system comprise a group of solar panels, capable of generating up to 11kW, and a 5kW wind turbine, and two set of batteries of 3000Ah.
