Delta is launching four new RenE renewable hybrid systems later this year. Two of the systems are designed for indoor use (InD) and two for outdoor use (OutD).

Delta’s renewable solutions represent a greener tomorrow. In addition, they enable reliable telecom services in areas where mains power is not available at all, or its quality is unreliable. With rising energy prices, the use of diesel generators in remote areas will become more expensive. This means that in addition to its environmental aspects, the use of solar energy will become an increasingly cost-effective solution as the technology develops further.

Delta’s RenE renewable hybrid solutions are offered either as a stand-alone solar power system or as a combination of several energy sources. Any combination of solar panels, diesel generators, mains power and wind turbines is possible – depending on the customer’s needs, the location of the telecom site, and the infrastructure in the region. Delta’s RenE solutions are delivered as a total solution, including the telecom power system with several cabinet options, power conversion and control modules, solar chargers and inverters, solar panels and supporting frames, a wind turbine and a charger, a junction box and batteries.

The new systems are based on Delta’s DPR 2900 EnergE rectifiers and PSC 3 controllers. These products enable additional energy savings – the energy efficiency of the rectifiers is over 96% and the PSC 3 controller enables significant direct and indirect energy savings. Both InD and OutD solutions are available with 8.7 kW and 17.4 kW power output.

The advantages of a stand-alone RenE system are demonstrated by a customer site in Africa. With 1 kW DC load, the RenE system provides annual cost savings of more than EUR 9,000 per site – diesel consumption was reduced from more than 6,500 liters per year to zero. With these direct cost savings, the payback period for the RenE system is about 3 years. If we include the indirect savings resulting from less need for maintenance and refueling trips, the savings become even more significant. Furthermore, the new EnergE rectifiers and the PSC 3 controller enable additional, increasingly faster savings. The operation of the system itself results in zero CO2 emissions, compared to the previous rate of 17600 kg per year. The cost savings over a period of, for example, 9 years, total more than EUR 70,000 – for a single 1 kW site!

The potential CO2 and cost savings vary by each customer, depending on factors such as the location and climate of the site, existing power solutions, and the optimal combination of Delta’s energy-efficient products. We can guarantee nearly 100% savings in CO2 emissions to customers who adopt the entire palette of our green SolutionE products: the EnergE rectifiers, a RenE system, the PSC 3 controller, hybrid cooling and the Site Management and Control System (SMCS).

For more information, see the following pages:

• SolutionE: RenE, rectifiers, controllers
• DPR 2000, DPR 2900 and DPR 4000 EnergE rectifiers
• PSC 3 controller

 The RenE products will be available by the end of 2010.

Vodafone Essar is a Mumbai-based mobile phone operator. It is the second largest mobile phone operator in India in terms of revenue and the third largest in terms of customers, serving more than 100 million people in India.

In 2009, Vodafone was expanding in Orissa and Bihar, primarily in suburban and rural areas. At these sites, Vodafone used diesel generators for power backup. Frequent and long power cuts and overall low efficiency led to high operating costs, which were delaying plans for site infrastructure expansion.

Vodafone wanted a smart solution to reduce the diesel consumption of the gensets running at their telecom base stations. The solution would have to deal with poor power availability while providing reliable, regular fuel monitoring.

Delta took the challenge and delivered an enhanced power system control solution, a site monitoring control system (SMCS) that helped in reducing diesel consumption significantly, in addition to lowering operating costs and carbon emissions. Delta also provided Vodafone with real-time remote site monitoring and control features such as critical alarm generation.

The Finnish telephone company Etelä-Satakunnan Puhelin chose Delta’s power system and the PSC 3 as one of its key modules. In their application, the PSC 3 takes care of the usual power system monitoring, covering voltages, currents, temperatures and battery management. In addition, the PSC 3 is used for monitoring and managing doors, interior and exterior temperature, fans, heaters and coolers in the premises.

The PSC 3 enables Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) over Local Area Network (LAN), which is especially important in property management.

“Delta’s controller was our choice because of its versatility. The adaptability of the control logic and the remote use possibilities make property management easy,” said Jyrki Vihtari, the man responsible for installations at Etelä-Satakunnan Puhelin. “Remote monitoring is also important for safety. Real-time information ensures that everything is as it should be on the property.”

In addition, Etelä-Satakunnan Puhelin has other uses for Delta’s controllers. The company is using the control logic of the PSC 3 without the power system control functionality. The integration capabilities of Delta controllers allow a setup in which the PSC 1000 controls a device while alerts are made remotely using the PSC 3.

“We believe that the PSC 3 can be used even more broadly in property monitoring and management. It is cost-efficient and in some cases crucial to receive real-time information on both the status of the power unit and events on the property. Why not combine these and make the customer’s life easier?” said Reijo Nieminen, Customer Service Manager at Delta. “There has been much interest in using the PSC 3 for such applications,” Nieminen continued.

“Delta’s controller is superior due to its versatility. There is real added value – in terms of both operations and capital expenditure – in using one device to control and manage many things,” Vihtari concluded.

Climate management at a telecom site requires almost as much energy as the active equipment – up to 50% of all energy consumption. Delta’s advanced solutions for optimized climate management bring savings of up to 80% or more, depending on the climate conditions and the acceptable temperature of the cabinet.

These results are achieved using hybrid cooling, which refers to the optimized use of different cooling methods. Traditional methods of climate control include air ventilation using fans and filters (AV), active cooling (AC) and heat exchangers (HEX). However, a combination of air ventilation and active cooling (AV + AC) and a combination of heat exchangers and air ventilation (HEX + AV) revolutionize energy efficiency – as well as the cost structure of climate control.

One of the new options Delta offers is the thermoelectric cooling of battery cabinets. The elegance of this solution lies in the fact that batteries cannot tolerate as high temperatures as telecom equipment or power supply modules. In fact, a temperature increase of ten degrees centigrade halves the lifetime of batteries. So, we thought, why not save energy by separating the battery cabinet and cooling that part a bit more? A thermoelectric cooling unit is an optimal solution for cooling a battery compartment, as it is easy to install and use, in addition to being small, more silent and maintenance free compare to standard AC units

All this means that the intelligent cooling solution lowers not only CO2 emissions and operating costs, but also capital expenditure, due to optimized investments in cooling capacity.

Orange, a global mobile service provider, wanted to save energy in their Polish operations and to kill two birds with one stone: cut costs and operate more eco-efficiently.

Delta provided a hybrid cooling solution for Orange’s telecom shelters. The solution combined air conditioning and ventilation in order to meet the following requirements:
• Reducing power consumption
• Keeping the temperature range at the desired level
• Enabling quick rollout to many locations

Delta developed an energy-saving calculation tool for Orange Poland, in addition to completing two successful pilot installations. The rollout of the turnkey deliveries started in May 2010. The project will continue for the next three years, covering about 4,000 locations in Poland.

Delta’s hybrid cooling systems allow Orange to save more than 80% in energy used to cool telecom shelters. In a shelter with 3.5 kWh heat dissipation, the system might reduce energy consumption from 11,000 to 2,000 kWh per year – nearly 82%. This translates into savings of about 800 euros per year per location. Upgrading 4,000 similar shelters will result in annual savings of 36 million kWh, 32,000 tons of CO2 emissions and more than EUR 3 million.

Mail.ru is the biggest internet service provider in Russia and the CIS countries. Its services are used by more than 50 million users each month. In 2008, the company decided to stop outsourcing its data center services and to build its own instead. The center consists of 12,400 HP blade servers installed in 428 racks, consuming over 2.1 megawatts of power. UPS is needed to guarantee uninterrupted service to keep millions of users online around the clock.

The customer preferred to use its own in-house resources in managing the data center project. Due to the high quality requirements and tight schedules of the project, Mail.ru had to find reliable, experienced partners. Delta was chosen as a turnkey supplier for the UPS system.

Delta’s solution consisted of 12 Delta NT series 400 kVA UPS systems, 24 large battery cabinets, power distribution units, batteries, as well as four Cummins 1250 diesel generators supplied by Delta’s partner, NG-Energo. Delta’s professional services covered everything from project design consultation to testing and analysis. Delta implemented the project within four months from the customer’s order, and the system delivery was accepted ahead of schedule. As one of Russia’s largest and most modern data centers, the Mail.ru center is being used as a reference site for many new projects.

“Based on our experience in the data center project, we can warmly recommend Delta’s high-quality UPS systems and reliable and experienced team to any data center project,” said S. Karameshev, Technical Director at Mail.ru.

Global telecom operator Vodafone has invested heavily in the growing Turkish market in recent years, becoming the country’s second-largest mobile service provider. In expanding its business, it has been essential to Vodafone to have reliable partners that have short lead times and can provide local support. Vodafone chose Delta as its telecom system supplier.

Since 2009, Delta has delivered a large number of indoor telecom power solutions to Vodafone’s switch centers and base stations. Deliveries are still continuing in the second half of 2010. The 12 kW/48 VDC InD systems are based on Delta DPR 2400 rectifiers. The benefits of the system include an extended operating temperature range that allows the cabinet temperature to remain slightly higher than normal in order to save on cooling costs.

“Delta has been able to help Vodafone reach direct and indirect energy savings, as well as to make their life a bit easier by features like remote control,” says Ahmet Tuzel, Delta Country Manager Turkey.

“Vodafone has around 16 million active subscribers in Turkey. We are happy to help Vodafone provide reliable telecom services for all of them. Since opening our Istanbul office in 2008, we have been able to combine local support and Delta’s global resources – an idea combination,” said Mr. Tuzel with satisfaction.

The University of Chile uses a new, powerful iDataPlex solution by IBM to secure key information used in the development of natural sciences and mathematics. The backup power solution had to be able to be scaled up as demand increases, so a modular UPS was a natural choice.

“Delta’s NH Plus was an optimal solution for us – it’s scalable, and its modularity enables us to multiply the capacity by four. This not only makes our life easier but also saves costs in the future,” said Claudius Baeza from Encargado and High Performance Computing Engineering at University of Chile. “For us, some of the additional advantages of Delta’s solution are the hot-pluggable maintenance option, and the discharge availability in services and engineering that was developed by Selecom Chile Energy, the installation and maintenance partner,” he continued.

With industry-leading energy efficiency, the NH Plus features up to six modules working parallel in one cabinet. The system provides from 20 up to 480 kVA with four parallel cabinets. Other key features include an input current THD of less than 3%, as well as battery independence and fan speed control.

“We are proud of being selected as a partner in securing such vital information and in supporting scientists’ work at the University of Chile. We at Selecom Energy, a Delta Partner in Chile, contributed with our pre-sales and post-sales knowledge in order to provide a complete turnkey solution,” says Ricardo Garrido, Director of Channels at Selecom Energy.

Attracting and developing talent in order to strengthen global competitiveness continues to be a hot topic in the business world. On 28 June 2010, Delta’s Chairman Bruce Cheng attended the Asian Talent and Innovation Forum organized by the influential Taiwanese business magazine Commonwealth.

The Jiang Su unit of Delta Electronics celebrated its 10th anniversary on 18 June 2010. In the celebrations held in Wujiang, more than 30,000 Delta employees were joined by Delta Group’s Chairman Bruce Cheng and CEO Yancey Hai, as well as representatives of the governments of Wujiang City and Shanghai, clients, agents, and the media.

At the event, Chairman Bruce Cheng unveiled the new Scientific Research Center designed for exploratory and applied research. Its ten laboratories include a precision measurement laboratory, a physical failure analysis laboratory, an environment-related substances analysis laboratory and a soldering technology laboratory. The laboratories provide certification, testing and verification services to Delta and its subsidiaries, vendors and customers.

Delta is launching several new systems in all of its series – CellD, MidD and CabD.

 

The new inverter systems for telecoms provide a modular UPS for AC power back-up by combining Delta’s high-quality modular inverter, static switches and DC power systems. Thanks to their overload capability, the inverters are able to deliver high start-up currents required by appliances such as air conditioners. In addition, the inverters scale up to 30 kVA, enabling flexible use.

 

The SSW Series static switches act as electronic switch between the AC mains and the efficient Delta API 1500A series modular inverter. The two standard static switch modules are rated for 7.5 kVA and 30 kVA. The new static switches save up to 14% in energy thanks to optimized system architecture and offline system operation.

 

The MidD medium power systems, APS 1500A-230-6 SSW and APS 1500A-230-8, are the first to come on the market by the end of the second quarter of this year. The compact size and flexible configurations make difficult site access and installation easy. The characteristic of this system is to support different installation types such as wall mount.

 

In early Q3, we will bring out several new scalable small CellD rack systems that can be integrated into any standard cabinet or outdoor cabinets, and large CabD systems for core network applications.

 

Especially in emerging markets with unstable AC utility, existing site upgrade with such inverter systems allows different operating mode during the mains outage. This enables fuel savings leading to significant operating cost reductions..

The new software version for the PSC 3 power system controller makes it easy to integrate renewable energy sources with DC power systems. The user can get a clear overview of the power flow from various sources, and detailed harvested energy statistics. Also the energy efficiency of the diesel generator is taken to a new level. With the help of new dynamic rectifier control, the generator runs optimally regardless of any variation in the power consumption of the equipment.

To further strengthen the versatile remote communications options, we have now introduced SMS alarms that help operators react quickly to maintenance needs. The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) also contributes to ensuring the accuracy of site information.

Delta is opening a new office in Senegal in the second quarter of 2010.“We already have an office in South Africa, and the opening of our Senegal office is another strategic step for us on the African continent. We want to underline our commitment to our customers and partners in this region,” says Carlo Pasqualotto, Vice President, Sales and Marketing for EMEA.

The office is located in Dakar and will be headed by Mr. Alioune Barry (in the photo). He has extensive experience in the industry and especially in supplying power back-up systems. The Senegal office will be part of the Middle East and Africa (MEA) business region and will report to Mr. Mohammed Bayadroun, the Regional Director for MEA. We at Delta wish Alioune and the whole Senegal office all the best for this new assignment.

In Africa, Delta will introduce new products such as UPS and photovoltaic solutions to customers ranging from small to large players in both the public and private sectors. In addition, we will continue working on telecom power solutions and maintaining close business relationships with our installation and service partners.

The Senegal office contact information is Cite des Magistrats, Villa 51 Mamelles, Dakar, tel: + 221 33 860 84 85 and fax: + 221 77 332 20 04.

Delta has upgraded the energy efficiency of two rectifier series. “DPR 2000 and DPR 2900 are the new members in the EnergE family, with an energy efficiency exceeding 96%. The rectifiers are now applicable with PSC 3 that provides an additional package of sophisticated energy saving, site management and maintenance supporting functionalities,” says Hans-Peter Glauser, Global Product Manager for Power Conversion.

 

DPR 2900 is an upgrade from the previous DPR 2700 model. DPR 2000 is a lower power model providing energy savings for medium power applications.

 

“The clear advantage is, of course, that we can provide our customers also with a high-power module in a compact and energy-efficient package for valuable space savings,” says Glauser

New software for PSC 3

News from the controller front! At the beginning of the year, we introduced the new software version (v2.50) of our PSC 3 telecom power system controller. PSC 3 now includes a new data-logging functionality, which enables the flexible logging of events, alarms and measured data. The key benefit of this functionality is that it allows you to get a good overview of how the power system is performing without physically visiting the site. In addition, the logged data helps in planning and optimizing maintenance procedures.

PC-free adjustments for CSU 502 The CSU 502

The CSU 502 controller’s system parameters are now even easier to adjust onsite. The maintenance technician no longer needs a PC for commissioning or maintenance. Instead, the technician can use a control stick to navigate the user-friendly LCD display menu. In addition, we have developed an optional fan control module for CSU 502 to enhance its performance in outdoor applications. The fan control module allows you to optimize the cooling performance and energy efficiency based on actual temperatures – with an integrated user interface for all functions.

Delta would like to thank everyone who made it to our first ever partner summit held on 12–14 January 2010 in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Delta’s management teams from Europe, the Middle East, Africa and UPS business headquarters were pleased to meet and work with partners from 11 countries, including Cameroon, Egypt, Iran, Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon, Malta, Pakistan, South Africa, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Over three intensive days, the partners worked on how to capture new market opportunities, learned more about Delta, and of course, made valuable contacts.

 

Focus on the Middle East and Africa

The Middle East and Africa (MEA) markets are among the fastest growing and developing markets in the world. We believe that this momentum will boost UPS demand over the next decade. Delta is working on strengthening relations with local partners and providing best-in-class energy-efficient products.

MEA customers need UPS to supply reliable power and to protect their precious data and electronic devices from power problems. To this end, Delta announced two high-efficiency products, the NH Plus series and the GAIA series, to partners in this region. 

What can we do for you? Let us help you in building a profitable and sustainable business!
