GenLeap™ Air Cooled or Water Cooled DC Power Generation System

GenLeap™ power generation systems are fully integrated DC power solutions, providing versatility, reliability, and optimum performance for backup/primary power for wireless networks, CATV/broadband applications, and remote terminal cabinets. It is not recommended to use AC generators and transfer switches for safety reasons in Grid Tied Solar power systems. The GenLeap™ DC generator allows a clean extended back up in the absence of solar power and utilities for your critical applications.

Powered by Diesel fuel, Natural or LP gas,. The integrated microprocessor based control solution combines engine and alternator controls for optimum DC Generator performance and high reliability. Each unit is a low RPM variable speed engine that is microprocessor controlled to further reduce noise for applications in commercial or residential areas.

KEY BENEFITS

High Availability and Reliability - AC generators frequently induce high voltage transient causing stress on AC-DC rectifiers and transient protection devices. Since GenLeap™ does not backup PDUs or rectifiers the system operation is not affected with these failures. GenLeap™ (DC Generators) significantly increases the reliability of remote telecom sites while reducing DC plant & battery reserve size, saving valuable cabinet space, and reducing maintenance costs

Simplified Power Architecture - GenLeap™ built in battery charger eliminates the need for a separate battery charger in power systems. GenLeap™ eliminates the need for extra batteries and transfer switch between AC utility and generator. Multiple points of failures after AC generator and slow cold start requires extra batteries in the system.

High Efficiency - GenLeap™ offers a significant size reduction and fuel consumption advantage no conversion loses. The losses due to PCU, rectifiers and PDUs are no longer considered in sizing GenLeap™. The AC generators require significant over sizing in engines and alternators to compensate for current surges during startup and matching peak capacity demand.

Lower Opex - High fuel efficiency with cleaner and lower cost fuels like LPG allows drastic reduction of fuel cost. The lower RPM range variable speed control, permanent rare earth magnet & brushless 24-32 pole DC alternator, and low maintenance or refueling frequency allows significant reduction of operating expense.

Pay as you grow - GenLeap™ comes in 3.5kW - 20kW sizes and 24VDC & 48VDC outputs. Unlike AC generators, GenLeap™ regulated output allows load sharing and multiple GenLeap™ units can be paralleled for larger DC power generation.
