Solid Oxide Fuel Cell – SOFC – For the Telecommunications Industry

No matter what, you need to stay online. Yet the massive black out of 2003 exposed how wireless, wireline, and cable providers cannot depend on strained electrical grids. More than ever, you need reliable, available backup power, but battery systems can be expensive and short lived. Traditional auxiliary power generators can be noisy and pollutive. Now Acumentrics is offering the right solution: solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) power systems.

The Acumentrics 5000 fuel cell power generator is based on our award-winning tubular fuel cells. Our unique design allows for direct feed of propane or natural gas – no hydrogen required! It allows for rapid start and stop and is highly available. It leverages our 12 years of experience with power inversion and backup. With the Acumentrics 5000, you can ride through outages, conserve maintenance costs, and maximize revenue.

Get the lead out.

According to Citigroup, the life cycle cost of fuel cell systems is 32-35% less than battery backup solutions . The Energy Policy Act of 2005 also offers tax credits of 30% per kilowatt of fuel cell investment. Unlike batteries, fuel cells are insensitive to ambient temperature, and can be counted on for 10-15 years.

At Acumentrics, we have a lot of expertise in mission critical power. Our uninterruptible power supplies (Rugged-UPS™) are used by the US Military and the New York subway system, because they are tough enough to endure wind, dust, heat, cold, vibration, shock, and even blowing sand. When people need durable backup, they call Acumentrics.
