Plug Power - Fuel Cell Systems for Telecom Backup Power
Plug Power, a global leader in clean, reliable, on-site energy,
develops and manufactures stationary Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM)
fuel cells that supply power to the wireless, telecom and utility
industries.
The company's leading product line, GenCore=AE, is designed for critical
backup power in the outside plant. Operating at 5kW and fuelled
directly by hydrogen, GenCore offers its users lower life-cycle costs,
zero emissions and reliable operation at extreme temperatures.
All GenCore products are based on Plug Power's modular and scalable 5kW
power platform, which provides a high level of flexibility to meet
diverse customer needs.
MORE DISTRIBUTED, ROBUST AND RELIABLE NETWORK POWER
Today's telecoms are faced with unprecedented threats to customer
retention. Chief among them are call performance and reliability.
Consumers regularly measure providers by how well they provide
uninterrupted service before and during power interruptions.
At the same time, the skyrocketing demand for more services - graphics,
web access, music and video, to name a few - requires more robust, more
distributed network power than ever before.
Unfortunately, incumbent technologies are falling short in the new
distributed, outside plant. Valve-Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries
can be unpredictable, hazardous and expensive to maintain, while
generator sets often present noise issues. This has led many telecom
leaders to see new solutions.
GENCORE - BACKUP POWER FOR THE OUTSIDE PLANT
GenCore systems answer the challenges of today's outside plant. They
provide an immediate, extended response to power interruptions over a
broad range of outdoor conditions (-40=B0C to 46=B0C). The systems always
operate at full load as long as there is fuel - there is no degradation
of voltage as with batteries.
Their maintenance schedule (once every three years) and longer life
(ten years versus three to five for outdoor battery systems) mean lower
lifecycle costs. When operating on hydrogen, GenCore produces zero
emissions with nearly silent operation.
Plug Power's recycling program eliminates the disposal issues often
encountered with batteries. And because fuel cells represent a capital
expense, they free up operating budgets to meet telecom growth
objectives.
EFFICIENT, CLEAN AND QUIET DC POWER
GenCore's PEM fuel cell stacks deliver efficient, clean and quiet DC
power. Integrated sensors provide continuous feedback for optimal
system performance, and power options include -48VDC or +24VDC.
The scalable hydrogen fuel storage can meet specific site and provider
requirements.
GenCore's freeze-tolerant design complies with NEBS Level 3 standards
and the well-insulated and painted rugged cabinet protects the system
inside.
IMMEDIATE RESPONSE TO POWER INTERRUPTIONS
By using GenCore, you can:
Provide immediate response to power interruptions
Increase network reliability
Add redundancy to existing backup power solutions or (where needed)
replace existing battery technology
Increase network security through effective power distribution in the
outside plant
Decrease dependence on grid-supplied power
Improve the life of your power infrastructure
Alleviate facility space constraints caused by existing battery banks
GenCore also reduces lifecycle costs by eliminating frequent
maintenance, replacement and disposal of existing batteries. The
transportation and labour costs associated with generator relocation
during outages also disappear.
GenCore provides a scalable, cost-effective, redundant power
architecture that can increase in size simply by increasing fuel
quantity.
