Zass Telecom Ltd (Zass) is the first company to make commercially available and to deploy, Hydrogen Fuel Cell based power systems in Bangladesh.
In addition, Zass is offering Hydrogen Fuel Cells under a Managed Energy Service program (MES) which provides huge savings for users who have existing issues with unreliable power, through the deployment of hydrogen fuel-cell based power systems. These systems are green, quiet, highly reliable, require minimal maintenance and can run for hundreds of days, with little human intervention.
ZES, CEO Towfique Malek states that a range of Hydrogen Fuel Cells are offered to qualified agencies and enterprises to power ‘mission and data critical’ industrial application devices such as surveillance systems, sensors, detectors, pumps, compressors, communications & telecom, signaling and many more.
Mark Shiels, representing the Fuel Cell Systems side explains, this innovative offering provides a flexible ‘consumption based’ way to utilize ‘Remote Power Solutions’ for backup or continuous unattended off-grid power. We provide an outdoor ready smart fuel-cell based power configuration for a fixed minimum monthly price which includes kWhs of power based on your estimated load. If you use more kWh’s than the specified allocation for the month, you will be charged for that incremental power at the end of the term. Overall, the longer your MES program commitment, the better the monthly kWh rate.This is an OPEX (operating expense, or rental) rather than CAPEX (capital expense, or purchase of asset) offering, that breaks down the price barrier of using fuel cell enabled DC generators and reduces new technology risks. We offer selected 200W, 3kW, 5kW and 10kW ‘outdoor ready’ fuel cell systems that charge several types of battery chemistries. These systems are quiet, maintenance & emissions free, offer a 10v-48v charging range, use locally available H2Go fuel which is green and independent of price fluctuations typical of fossil-based fuel.
Benefits:
- Flexible consumption model based on kWhs delivered
- Quiet and maintenance free turnkey configurations
- Locally available environment-friendly fuel options with H2Go
- Fuel cell lifetimes and purchase price not a factor
- Fuel cell hardware risks reduced
- Monthly operating expense (OpEx) based on usage
- Aligned operational expense to a “mission” or “revenue event”
- Access now affordable to the latest fuel cell technology
- Emergency replacements & fast fuel cell logistic options
- Systems maintained country wide by qualified and trained Zass support personnel
- Optional remote monitoring and management assistance
Aside from the benefits above, there are cases where simply no other viable backup power system exists. This is demonstrated in the initial deployments for Telco applications in Dhaka’s old quarter of the city, installations on roof top buildings, which are hard to access and where alternative options, such as diesel generators, are not viable do to community issues (noise), vibration and fuel theft.
