In the beginning of 2010 cellular communications operator Beeline's Saint Petersburg base station BS-16402 was outfitted with a hydrogen-based Dantherm Power IPSM-A1600 emergency power supply station and uninterruptible power supply (UPS). United Elements Group delivered the equipment, and the assembly and installation was done by Premium Comfort.
After such a successful start, Dantherm Power has decided to officially enter the Russian market by signing a Distributor contract with United Elements Group.
CEO of Dantherm Power, Per Albæk, said “We believe the Russian market is very promising and interesting for our further development. We see the Beeline project as proof of the fact that the company's innovations are truly effective and unique within the market. Together with our Russian partners Premium Comfort and United Elements Group, we are ready to implement new technologies and actively develop our presence in the Russian market.”
The start-up and testing of the hydrogen-based Dantherm Power IPSM-A1600 emergency power supply station and UPS for the BC-16402 base station for the Beeline cellular communication system took place at the beginning of 2010 in Saint Petersburg.
Production of electricity using hydrogen fuel cells is undoubtedly new generation know-how and the most promising recent innovation in engineering for the IT sphere.
Hydrogen electricity generators are particularly useful in applications with low power requirements and when autonomous operation is critical.
Alternative power sources have proved to have significant advantages over traditional batteries and diesel generators. Primarily in regards to their ability to self-diagnose and be remotely monitored.
Hydrogen technologies have the following advantages:
- Light weight
- Long operating life
- Low operating costs
- Voltage fluctuations can be compensated for using a special power management system.
The issues of back-up power without usage of traditional batteries can be solved by the use of microclimate management. Natural ventilation or “free cooling” can be used exclusively as the temperature inside the communication rack is almost always higher than the temperature of the outside air. If maximum summer temperatures are not excessively high, then the absence of mechanical cooling results in considerable energy efficiency savings, while maintaining the required degree of reliability.
After such a successful launch Dantherm Power took the decision to enter the Russian market formally, and signed a Distributor contract with United Elements Group.
