Getek APS is a complete kiosk developed specially for electricity supply for telecom installations, valve operations, water level metering, measuring stations, tourist lodges, local hospitals, light houses and other industrial applications.
A GETEK APS solution can be specially designed according to the needs of our customers. If you require such an electricity supply solution please contact GETEK INTERNATIONAL.
The main advantage of the Getek APS’ is that the systems are built and tested at the Getek production facilities before they are set up at the location in the field.
The Getek APS combines several electricity production sources which combined generate enough electricity to cover the need for electricity. The Getek APS’ design enables the system to prioritize electricity from the renewable energy sources (wind turbines and/or solar panels). If the electricity production from the renewable sources of energy is too low the system will automatically use the electricity stored in the battery bank. An integrated diesel generator will start if and when the battery bank reaches a specified level. In order to ensure the operation of critical installations Getek has developed a system for remote surveillance of the system. At our surveillance centre Getek monitor a number of installations. If an error is detected a service person will be sent to repair. Because the error is detected at an early stage, the electricity supply for the installation will not be interrupted.
Documentation - the Getek APS comes with two sets of documentation as a standard (more sets can be provided), Getek will also have one copy at our service centre.
For installations located in hostile environments one has to take the following onto account when planning for the installation:
Access – helicopter, snow mobile or boats are often needed in order to transport the APS personnel and equipment to site.
Preparations – transport and use of personnel is often expensive and time consuming. Planning is therefore important in order to keep the costs down.
Conditions – the local conditions at the site can often cause problems (wind, fog, rain and snow). It is therefore important to keep the installation period as short as possible. Some locations are only accessible for a short period per year.
