Vodacom designed an environmentally friendly, energy-efficient solution to power its mobile BTS used to augment its network infrastructure and handle the increased traffic. The telecommunications company used a combination of solar energy and wind power, supported by fuel cell technology, instead of grid power.
The system was mainly powered by ElectraGen™ ME fuel cell system (78%), providing 70 hours run time on one tank of fuel with 2.5 kW power output. The fuel cell provided clean power operating continuously for 15 days.
