WEATHERING THE STORM:

72HR BACKUP POWER FOR
CRITICAL OUTDOOR TELCO SITES

CHALLENGES TO POWER SECURITY FOR CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE:

Increased risk of power outages mandates extended duration backup power of 72 hours

Power Grid
 Influx of renewables to
power grid increases
volatility and instability
Climate Crisi
Climate crisis causes increasingly​ frequent severe weather incidents​ (storms, avalanches, floods, etc.)​ resulting in extended​
duration power outages
Grid Failures
Aging grid infrastructure
raises risks of grid failures
Geo-political Crisis
Geo-political crisis in Europe ​endangers power supply and impacts fuel prices
GenCell BOX™

RESILIENT & SUSTAINABLE HYDROGEN POWER

WITHSTANDS REMOTE SUB-FREEZING CONDITIONS

The GenCell BOX™ has been specifically designed to meet the requirements of telecom base stations. Designed for maximum reliability and 72+hrs. duration, the BOX is highly resilient to extreme environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, salinity) and facilitates deployment in remote and difficult-to-access locations. Moreover, the zero-emission BOX requires only semi-annual maintenance or servicing.

IDEAL TO POWER CRITICAL EQUIPMENT POSITIONED AT OUTDOORS SITES IN EXTREMELY COLD CONDITIONS

Fuel Cells
Robust, reliable alkaline fuel cells are weatherproof, needing minimal servicing and maintenance;
Cold Start
Cold Start Mechanism allows fuel cells in sub - zero temperatures to site - idle with NO thermal conditioning or test runs; unit starts up in under an hour using minimal to no battery power
Deep Snow
Equipment in shelters can operate while buried under deep snow, while hydrogen supply is stored outdoors;

DESIGNED TO FACILITATE DEPLOYMENT

IN REMOTE AND
DIFFICULT-TO-ACCESS LOCATIONS 

UNIQUE COLD START
MECHANISM

  •  Unique capability to initiate quick “cold start” using hydrogen fuel, independent of the grid or battery.
  •  In conditions below -20°, the advanced cold start mechanism activates the fuel cell using minimal heating.
  •  To ensure activation and avoid damage in sub-zero weather, alternative backup power solutions must consume many hours of costly grid or battery power for preheating; the BOX initiates from -20° in under an hour without preheating.
