Brussels Telecom Fuel Cell Base Station

3 FAQs about Brussels Telecom Fuel Cell Base Station

Can a fuel cell backup power system be used for telecom applications?

Other than the added cost of the fuel cell backup power system, no obvious hurdles—considering technique, installation, and operation—exist in deploying such a system for telecom applications. The hydrogen level may be monitored remotely to allow the user to maintain the fuel supply.

Are fuel cell systems cost competitive?

According to a 2013 cost of ownership analysis, fuel cell systems could be cost competitive with incumbent backup power technologies, especially with incentives. Current deployment is for emergency backup power only. The grid is fairly reliable if there are no natural disasters, so the backup systems are idle in most of time and under-utilized.

Are fuel cell power systems a viable alternative power supply technology?

Clean and efficient fuel cell power systems have shown great potentials as an alternative power supply technology for distributed energy resource (DER) needs. They are also attractive for telecommunications companies that want to avoid prolonged power outages and disruption of service to their customers.
