Ampair –\u00a0small wind turbine and power system manufacturer<\/a> announced the launch of the V2 version of its heliPod\u2122 and trailerPod\u2122 hybrid renewable energy generators and announces a further two models to the range.<\/p>\n

Ampair has been manufacturing \u2018off the shelf\u2019 hybrid renewable power systems for wind measurement met masts and Lidar for nearly four years and has been exporting its systems worldwide. The systems consist of a blend of micro turbine, PV, fuel cell or propane generator with the appropriate balance being determined by modelling power consumption scenarios with Ampair\u2019s in-house developed simulation software \u2018proAmpair\u2019.<\/p>\n

Ampair\u2019s sales and marketing manager Jeremy Davies says \u201cWe have had very positive feedback from clients, with many systems now being into their second and third years of providing 100% power availability to the measurement equipment. We have had a few tricky sites where the local weather conditions have produced prolonged periods of still wind and fog which is a renewables based power supply\u2019s worst nightmare. If these weather events are recurring, our customers are offered our plug and play fuel cell or propane generator \u2018supplements\u2019 which protect the system from these unusual weather events and ensure that they continue to deliver power.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThe V2 models of the heliPod and trailerPod come with a full set of signals and power output and input options and are daisy-chainable, making them very versatile. For example two heliPods can be combined to power an older Lidar with higher power consumption but can be divided into two separate systems to power two modern Lidars. We think this flexibility is key to customers to enable them to see the Ampair solutions as a cost-reducing multi-campaign power solution.\u201d<\/p>\n

To augment the existing range, Ampair have produced two further systems the miniPod\u2122 and the heliPod Hybrid\u2122.
\nThe miniPod is a low temperature capable range extender for the EFOY Pro range of fuel cells manufactured by SFC. \u201cThe miniPod is designed to augment a fuel cell system with additional PV and a micro turbine to extend the stack life of the fuel cell. Whilst these fuel cells provide reliable power for lower loads, the on-going cost of replacing the fuel cell unit can put a big dent in a campaign operational budget. The miniPod minimises stack burn and the site access costs associated with frequently replacing the fuel cartridges but retains the portability associated with a fuel cell system\u201d says Davies.<\/p>\n

The heliPod Hybrid is a low temperature capable propane generator \/ battery \/ PV hybrid with AC output designed for high loads (up to 4kVA peak) with deep snow and poor weather. \u201cThe intention with the heliPod Hybrid is to be a low-cost \u2018fuel cell beater\u2019 in that it can power the more power hungry Lidars and met masts with heated instruments in very poor weather conditions. The model includes technology which keeps the batteries and generator at an optimum temperature with electric heaters and by recycling waste heat from the generator. This feature gives the benefit of further extending the batteries charge carrying capability which ultimately means less generator runs and less need to visit site for maintenance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs with all of our systems, we have endeavoured to make site deployments as easy as possible for our clients. We are confident that we now have an easy to deploy, reliable power supply option for every type of site and every type of power requirement for wind measurement equipment.\u201d says Davies<\/p>\n
