GlobalSolarHybrid™ by Global
Thermoelectric, Inc. is a high-grade
photovoltaic (PV) power system backed by an ultra-reliable
thermoelectric generator (TEG) that operates on natural gas or liquefied
petroleum gas (LPG) in any weather. The combination of PV and TEG has
created a remote prime power solution that is both reliable and
respectful of the environment. It can have lower initial costs than
solar-only systems, and lower operating costs than fuel-based systems.
GlobalSolarHybrid hybrid power
ensures bulletproof, 24/7/365 operation for applications such as
wellhead monitoring equipment, supervisory control and data acquisition
(SCADA), cathodic protection, and communications equipment. It overcomes
the limitation of pure solar power, which can be unreliable depending on
weather. By utilizing solar power when available, it overcomes the
operating and maintenance costs of fuel-only power systems.
GlobalSolarHybrid is respectful of the environment. It has significantly
lower fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions than most other power
generation technologies. It has a smaller environmental footprint than
pure solar systems, since it uses fewer PV panels and batteries, and
extends the life of those batteries.
GlobalSolarHybrid is ideal when:
- Solar is an attractive option but
high reliability is required.
- Where solar conditions are not well
known.
- Fuel consumption must be minimized.
- Only liquid fuel is available.
- Long intervals are desired between
site visits.
- Load ranges up to 150 Watts.
Common Applications
- Cathodic protection.
- Telecom service providers for small
remote repeaters.
- SCADA systems of all types.
- Pipeline or wellhead automation and
monitoring.
- Security and surveillance
applications difference.
Key Benefits
- Reduced initial cost
- Increased reliability
- Lower operating costs than fuel
based system
- Reduced overall maintenanc
- Environmentally sensitive
- Can be created out of an existing PV
system
