kW-Class Systems
Our small systems are easily deployed and offer proven performance – delivering efficiencies for customers around the world.
Prudent's 7kW-rated units are sold separately (on a containerized basis or otherwise depending on customer needs) for use at telecom base stations and in remote areas around the world. These small systems have been proven reliable and high-performing in over 20 installations in North America, Europe and Africa.
Conventional battery systems used in telecommunication cell sites are designed to act as backup devices for infrequent, short power interruptions per year. However, Prudent's enhanced kW-class, 8-hour maximum deep cycling storage system, now in its third generation, allows off-grid or weak grid telecom sites to cycle repeatedly or integrate in hybrid form with diesel, wind, or photovoltaic generation (see figure). VRB-ESS® units operating in Africa typically deliver an attractive two-year payback by reducing O&M costs and extending diesel engine life.
