Strengthening Telecommunications Networks in the Developing World

Redflow recognises that telecommunications tower sites using DC power (either weak grid or off-grid) represent a major potential market for its ZBM2 zinc-bromine flow batteries:

  • Millions of telco sites globally – including but not limited to communications network tower sites
  • Asia alone has more than 2.7 million telecommunications tower sites
  • Large proportion, especially in developing countries, are off-grid or in weak-grid environments, and
  • An entry-level telecommunications site deployment typically uses 2-4 ZBMs to replace a lead-acid battery system.

Whitepaper: Redflow ZBM2 and telecommunications integration

This article reports about the successful demonstration of the Redflow’s unique zinc-bromine flow battery integrated into a standard telecommunication (Telco) DC system at -48V. The ZBM2 energy storage systems, installed directly on the DC bus, can replace standard lead-acid batteries and support the load when the power from the grid or from a diesel generator (DG) is not available. In this specific study, the ZBMs are used to integrate renewable sources (PV) with an existing DG allowing the coexistence of multiple sources, absorbing the load and PV fluctuations and most importantly reducing the DG run time. To learn more, download Redflow’s telco application White Paper
