MOBISMART Autonomous Power For Wind Lidar Plays Crucial Role in NL & Labrador

AUTONOMOUS POWER FOR WIND LIDAR PLAYS CRUCIAL ROLE IN NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR WIND HYDROGEN/AMMONIA PROJECT

In renewable energy, few projects carry the groundbreaking potential of Canada's Federal government's hydrogen strategy for Canada than Newfoundland & Labrador's green hydrogen/ammonia development project. Set to be one of the largest of its kind globally, Project Nujio’qonik represents a monumental leap toward a sustainable future, involving major wind energy developers. Playing a role in this initiative is an autonomous, off-grid power trailer from MOBISMART Clean Power Solutions used to power a wind lidar during the wind measurement campaign in harsh conditions without interruption or downtime.

LAYING THE GROUNDWORK

Every great construction begins with a solid foundation, and in large-scale energy projects, that foundation is often the result of meticulous planning and assessment. MOBISMART HYBRID Clean Power Solutions renowned for dependable solar combined with fuel cell power solutions in harsh and extreme conditions, were entrusted to power wind lidar equipment that have the critical task of collecting data for siting wind turbines for maximum power output. The data results offer invaluable insights into how the location can best support the production of green hydrogen and ammonia, ensuring that the project is both efficient and environmentally sustainable.

Why Green Hydrogen and Ammonia?

It might be useful to briefly understand why green hydrogen and ammonia are central to this project. Green hydrogen, produced through water electrolysis using renewable energy, is celebrated for its potential to decarbonize industries and energy systems. On the other hand, green ammonia is seen as a promising way to store and transport hydrogen, making it a vital component in the global energy transition.

The Newfoundland and Labrador site is poised to harness wind power to generate these clean fuels, aligning perfectly with global aspirations to reduce carbon emissions and curb climate change. This makes it not just a local endeavor but a project of international significance.

MOBISMART’s Expertise in Clean Power Solutions

How is mission-critical, 24/7 power being provided to these wind lidar systems in extremely remote locations when dealing with wind, storms, significant snow accumulation, and temperatures as low as -40°C?

In the past, diesel generators were  one of the only options, but now there’s an emission-free remote-monitored alternative: the MOBISUN HYBRID Clean Power Trailer, an autonomous power source for any lidar system including the ZX300 and WindCube Lidar systems that combines the clean energy of solar power with fully integrated fuel cells for clean power generation that operates off-grid in any environment. This state-of-the-art technology offers a cost-effective and dependable solution to the challenges of powering lidar systems and can be used in urban, rural, and remote locations with virtually no maintenance.

Anywhere there is a need for a wind lidar, MOBISUN HYBRID Clean Power Trailers offer a dependable power solution even in the harshest of conditions. The trailer design has the tremendous advantage of being mobile, making it easy to move from site to site during the data collection phase of wind energy projects. They also makes it possible for one person to deploy, as opposed to an entire team. This major innovation lowers costs and makes projects more efficient, while drastically increasing power dependability in extreme cold winter weather. 

MOBISMART has built a reputation for delivering innovative clean power solutions across various sectors. The uninterrupted, dependable power supplied to wind lidars in the initial assessment of the Newfoundland and Labrador project is a testament to MOBISMART's expertise and reliability. By powering technology analyzing wind patterns, water resources, and grid integration capabilities, MOBISMART ensured that the project stands on firm ground, ready to harness the full potential of renewable energy sources available in the region.

The Road Ahead

While the wind measurement campaign  is only the beginning of this massive project, it sets the stage for the exciting developments to come. MOBISMART Clean Power Solutions’ contribution has helped to lay the groundwork for a project that will not only boost the local economy but also place Newfoundland and Labrador on the map as a leader in green energy production.

Canadian companies are known for their sustainable approach to resource development and are leaders in innovative clean energy technologies. MOBISMART’s role in the initial assessment of this groundbreaking project exemplifies the importance of expertise and foresight in paving the way for sustainable energy solutions.

MOBISMART's innovative power solutions serve as a reminder that while progress is driven by technology, it's the vision and dedication of companies like MOBISMART that make such progress possible.
