Growing grid instability and obsolete fixed-line systems are piling pressure on telecoms network providers to perform without fail. At the same time, the need to provide a wider network covering remote or off-grid installations, as well as longer UPS back-up times, stretches the ability of current technology to cost-effectively deliver reliable performance. Too often, the fall-back power solution is a noisy, bulky, polluting diesel generator.

Now there is a better way. Emerald from Voller Energy is a state-of-the-art fuel cell generator that brings together fuel processing, energy management and fuel cell technology in a commercially available system. Used in combination with a battery bank and UPS system, its high efficiency and low emission design gives the fuel cell generator the same effective performance as a typical 5kVA diesel generator.

The Voller Emerald system runs on widely available LPG or propane and is virtually noise and emission free. Installation is easy and requires minimal maintenance. It constantly monitors battery systems and automatically recharges them when required, matching the power demand. The life of these batteries is also extended by providing constant on-demand charging. As a result the Voller Emerald provides increased reliability, lower maintenance and a lower through-life system cost than current solutions.

Full connectivity enables remote monitoring and diagnostics further reducing the need for site visits.
