NZ
Project Overview
Location:
Hamilton, New Zealand
Project Type:
Deployment of backup power system for remote satellite site
Installed Capacity:
2 x 1MW
Objective:
Provide satellite site with stable power supply
Initial Situation
Stability
The telecommunications satellite site experienced unstable utility power supply and occasional outages, affecting the reliability of critical communication equipment and network operations. The client required a dependable standby power solution capable of supporting continuous operation in a remote environment.Key Challenges
Unstable utility power supply during storms
Continuous uptime requirement for communication system
Remote site accessibility and logistics coordination
Limited installation space
Harsh environmental operating conditions
Proposed Solution
A fully automated diesel generator backup system was installed to provide immediate standby power support during utility failures.
The solution included:
- 2 × Diesel Generator Set Synchronised as backup
- Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) system
- Integrated fuel tank system
- Remote monitoring capability
- Weatherproof acoustic canopy for low-noise operation
- Battery charger and auto-start control system
The generator system was designed to automatically detect power failure and restore backup power within seconds to maintain uninterrupted telecom operations.
