Key HPS Features
Meet the world's first fully integrated energy solution designed to meet the reliability and sustainability goals of the international cellular communications industry.
Dependability and Reliability
The HPS strives for 99.999% - or Five-Nines - up-time reliability through its multiple, alternate renewable energy sources that are fed into batteries, effectively internally firming the power supply to the BTS.
The backbone of the HPS is Windstrip’s proprietary smart-electronics system – Intelligent & Dynamic Energy Addressing system, or IDEAs.
Designed for Flexibility and Modularity
The HPS combines wind, solar, and other energy sources and integrates power management and battery storage in a safe, stable, and reliable manner to achieve economical production, storage, and delivery of energy while addressing the unique and demanding up-time needs of the telecommunications industry.
Engineered to be Customizable
Every site and its needs and challenges are different. Knowing this, we carefully designed and engineered the HPS for versatility. It can be scaled up and down, and various power source inputs can be switched or alternated, including non-renewable sources such as back-up generators, to meet the BTS owner’s and its tenant’s needs.
For additional site-driven flexibility, the HPS interoperates with both Windstrip’s proprietary Savonius drag-driven Windstrip Wing System and any other best-in-class vertical- or horizontal-axis wind systems, optimized to the site. The IDEAs™ smart-electronics are also designed to scale modularly with the power inputs-needs.
Compatible and Scalable
This complete modularity of the HPS not only addresses initial site compatibility, but it also facilitates rapid accommodation of BTS power demand growth by not requiring complete system changes, but only modular expansion.
Open-ended Solutions
Windstrip has additional flexibility in its HPS design, addressing existing tower sites that may not have the structural integrity to accommodate the HPS system.
To accommodate the varied size/demands and conditions present at BTS sites, Windstrip has developed both scaled-down HPS systems (for micro-tower applications) and also its PowerTower™ system.
The PowerTower™ is an integrated stand-alone tower that includes the scalable HPS. The PowerTower™ can stand separately from an adjacent BTS, supplying it all power needs, or the PowerTower™ can replace an existing tower, providing for the attachment of telecom equipment directly to the PowerTower™, just as it would to a traditional BTS.
Leveraging Innovation
Windstrip's initial focus is on the global telecommunications industry however, the Windstrip Hybrid Power System can be utilized in a variety of applications from Residential to Commercial to Industrial.
