Abstract :
Intelicell is an innovative energy solution that uses a state of the art hybrid solar power system combined with an intelligent system manager to produce reliable, efficient, cost effective power for supplying energy to locations where Grid power is unavailable or unreliable. The primary power source is solar energy, which in turn is used to produce power to run customer equipment, produce energy for cooling when required, and power to charge the systems batteries. A backup generator can be included where customers require additional redundancy. Intelicell can accommodate Customer equipment within the unit in a climate controlled chamber, providing an optimal and secure environment in one location. This development also has a monitoring system that can continuously check system status and loading remotely using a web application. Finally, Intelicell results of real conditions tests are shown.
