TSS- Art of No Cooling

“TSS - Art of No Cooling”

TSS’ expertise is in the development of equipment that can be placed in very hot climatic conditions. The presence of electronic equipment in such hot conditions generally leads to the problem of overheating which can result in inefficient functioning or even a complete failure of the system.

 

To tackle and alleviate the hitches and inefficiencies that arise as a result of heat, engineers generally employ different cooling systems for forcing a good thermal management. This is normally achieved by the use of fans which don’t have a long lifetime expectancy.

TSS Engineers’ Philosophy: Bottom Up Approach

Innovative design combined with the right selection of components make sure our electronic equipment is highly energy efficient and as a result have only little heat dissipation and don’t require forced cooling by fans.

Furthermore, our specially designed electronic components have in-built heat spreading capabilities which help to spread the heat from hotspots by natural convection within the enclosure.

 

These intrinsically cooled components ensure that the control equipment inside enclosures are heated up only in a controlled manner up to a maximum of 85°C! Thus, redundancy for temperature dependent failure in tropical environments are secured.

 

Such an efficiently designed control equipment can simply be used in the shade externally without any form of forced cooling (e.g. under solar modules). Even if the ambient temperature in the shade goes up to 55°C, the equipment continues to function perfectly without the need for any external cooling and without any de-rating.

TSS brings solar to the highest level

TSS brings solar to the highest level

In close cooporation with VDL Mast Solutions in the Netherlands, TSS4U designed and developed a unique monopole solar system for our Algeria based customer. A system born from the need to meet various constraints like the remote location, harsh geographical / meteorological conditions and the potential risk of theft. All these aspects were taken into account in the design of a reliable solar only system to keep the operation up and running 24/7 with a total of 57 monopoles installed.

Our customer has been involved right from the preliminary design up to site delivery making this project a tremendous success.

The solar monopole systems, a first of its kind, features custom made 100% solar power rating, foot print reduction, anti-theft solution, signaling and internal cable routing.

McKinsey report – The case for committing to greener telecom networks

“Operators’ energy costs keep rising, but efficiency measures and organizational change can lower them by 15 to 20 percent in a year, benefiting company profits and the environment”

“In current mobile networks, for example, transferring data only consumes around 15 percent of energy. Some 85 percent is wasted because of heat loss in power amplifiers, equipment kept idling when there is no data transmission, and inefficiency in systems such as rectifiers, cooling systems, and battery units.

Green-energy suppliers are cheaper in some markets. In India, the cost per kilowatt-hour of solar power is about 35 percent lower than grid power and about 65 percent lower than generator-set power. Some telecom operators are already taking advantage of such price differentials.”

The case for committing to greener telecom networks

“There are opportunities for companies to cut costs by generating their own green power on site. Japan’s NTT DOCOMO is reported to have reduced grid-power usage by as much as 40 percent at some of its base stations by using solar panels and higher-capacity batteries”.

TSS4U Participation to TX – MENA 2020

TSS brand name is a standard of the most trusted off-grid solar solution at TX - Mena

TSS4U made a big impression during the Middle East North Africa TowerXchange “once a year event” in Dubai over the two days, thanks to its quality reputation with +1.000 running Solar sites over the last +15 years across the entire MENA region in the Oil & Gas industry.

All independent wireless tower company’s (Tower Co’s) and Mobile Network Operators (MNO’s) showed a particular interest in the off-grid TSS4U Solar only or Solar hybrid solutions in the Telecom remote areas.

It became very clear that the following USP’s were catching the attention of all:

  • A dual system set-up, based on two sub-systems, means there’s never downtime/only uptime
  • Passive cooled solar power system/control box, means no energy loss, reliability (no fans required, and no moving parts) & a continuous running system
  • System sizing on DC equipment (no losses from converting 48 Vdc to 230 Vac), means saving 20% – 30% on the solar capacity, space, capex

CEO, Dop Brzesowsky, who participated at the event was often asked what is the secret behind the TSS reliability and quality reputation explained the following:

“Based on more than 20 years’ experience in the off grid solar hybrid world, we have developed our own control systems and co-developed solar batteries for harsh environments (above +50 °C) and we learned the hard way how to build reliable Solar Hybrid Systems for rural- and very remote locations, which run 24/7, 365 days a year, easily 7 years continuously without changing your battery pack”.

Eindhoven companies collaborate on ’10 million-order’ for solar energy systems in the Middle East

Eindhoven companies are working together on record order for solar energy systems in the Middle East

EINDHOVEN – For its solar energy systems in oil fields, the Eindhoven-based company TSS4U is working on a record order of 10 million euros. Together with the regional suppliers VHE and Itsme, it realizes more than 150 systems in the desert of Abu Dhabi.

 

According to director Dop Brzesowsky of TSS4U, the turnover of many years is surpassed with the assignment for oil company Adnoc. The ‘Shell of the United Arab Emirates’ is going to tap new oil fields in the desert.

Biggest in ten years

In places like this where there is no electricity network, TSS4U supplies systems for controlling solar panels, storing solar energy in batteries and supplying power. “For larger assignments, it involves a value of 1.2 or sometimes 3 million euros. This of more than 10 million euros is the largest order in this industry in ten years”, says Brzesowsky.

He calls it ‘unique’ that a Dutch company has won the contract. “We often work with local contractors. We won the order because of the very high quality and reliability of our systems.”

Three companies with 35 employees

TSS4U does not produce itself. The company calls itself a system integrator. For the record order, it works together with suppliers VHE and Itsme. VHE assembles the cabinets with electronics in Veldhoven that control the energy systems. The Eindhoven wholesaler Itsme supplies switches and other electronic components. Around 35 employees from the three companies are involved in the assignment.

“As a team we have created something magical”, says the director of TSS4U. The order is also short preparation time. The production process had to be set up quickly. The companies also joined forces to finance the contract.

The first systems were delivered last month. The last deliveries are expected in the summer.
