ABO Energy Canada Ltd.
Confidential Location, Canada
The solution
The Background
ABO Energy Canada Ltd. the Canadian entity of international
renewable energy developer ABO Energy operates wind
measurement campaigns across remote sites globally that
face harsh seasonal conditions. As industry leaders, they
continuously explore a range of technologies to further
optimize performance acrossits global deployments. For one
of their new greenfield locations in Canada, the team
required a dependable, autonomous off-grid power source
to support their Vaisala WINDCUBE wind Lidar.
The site of this new deployment had no existing power
infrastructure and harsh winter conditions expected.
Historically, ABO Canada implemented various power system
combinations, which generally performed well, with some
variability in winter, when continuous uptime is crucial for
capturing uninterruptedwind resource data.
The Challenge
For this Canadian deployment, ABO Energy required an
autonomous power system capable of delivering consistent
year-round performance in a demanding environment to
ensure continuouswind resource data collection based on:
Before deployment, the team wanted to confirm that the MOBISUN Hybrid Power Trailer could meet these requirements underreal-world operating conditions.
Our Solution For
Autonomous Power for Wind Resource Assessment
The Solution
ABO Energy deployed the MOBISUN-350 HYBRID Solar + Propane Fuel Cell Clean Power Trailer, a fully autonomous, solar + fuel cell + battery power system specifically designed for remote, low-temperature environments.
The system integrates:
This hybrid power architecture enables continuous, autonomous operation while minimizing the need for on-site intervention. The system has been deployed for over one full year, operating across allseasons and providing stable,reliable power to thewind LiDAR.
The Outcome
The MOBISUN-350 delivered the reliability ABO Energy required, maintaining continuous wind LiDAR operation with no meaningful downtime and 100% data collection in itsfirst year of operation.
A minor propane tank issue occurred early in the deployment and was quickly resolved. Since then, the system has operated smoothly without requiring additional site visits. Propane fuel tanks lasted 3 months before requiring a site visit for refueling.
Key benefits achieved include:
The system’s remote monitoring and an 360° pan-tilt-zoom IP
camera enabling quick status checks and visual real-time site
conditions from anywhere in theworld.
The experience and support exceeded ABO Energy’s expectations and eliminated previous concerns about seasonal performance or system robustness.
