An Argentina-based telecommunications company sought out a dependable power solution to replace their existing failing technology across remote locations. The Qnergy PowerGen solution was the right answer.
The Challenge
Deploying a reliable power system to operate a network of remote communications sites across the country. The existing technology, Closed Cycle Vapor Turbogenerators (CCVTs), became difficult to maintain due to equipment obsolescence, limited parts availability, and rising service costs. With these frequent interventions, the risk of unplanned outages threatened network reliability, all while increasing operating costs.
The Solution
This customer installed a PowerGen unit at one of its remote telecommunications sites to evaluate the potential for a long-term CCVT replacement project. The Qnergy PowerGen operated continuously and autonomously for more than three years without interruption in service or maintenance requirements.
The success of this pilot program led to the long-term replacement project across multiple sites.
The Result
-
- All legacy CCVT technology was replaced by Qnergy PowerGens within a short timeframe.
-
- Reliable performance, low fuel consumption, and minimal operational requirements.
-
- By incorporating the Qnergy PowerGen, the end-user improved network power dependability while reducing maintenance visits, operational costs, and long-term technology risks associated with legacy equipment.
