Telecommunications

As the need for connectivity continues to grow extensively, more telecommunications equipment such as cellular base stations and satellite communication devices are installed in urban as well as remote locations. The ZuS™ vertical axis wind turbine can be cost-effectively used to power telecommunication sites.

Wind power secures constant power supply, which is crucial for telecom services and reduces the need for ongoing maintenance such as fuel and equipment transportation. Reliable energy supply and significant cost savings, increase wind power competitiveness and turn it into the best energy choice for telecom and network operators.

The power source for the majority of sites is diesel generators- grid connectivity is unavailable in many locations or the costs of extending the grid to power off-grid sites are enormous. The average cost of distributed diesel (2009) is 1-2.5 $/kWh in throughout the world. This cost includes the diesel costs and the high logistics costs (transport, maintenance, etc.).

One of the key solutions to this need is integration of renewable energy sources into the primary power source of the site.

The ZuS™ vertical axis wind turbine is designed to power a wide range of telecom sites worldwide. Installed on a telecom tower, the The ZuS™ vertical axis wind turbine is best suited as a stand-alone power source as well as a hybrid solution with additional power sources, such as diesel generators or solar panels.
