Autonomous Power for Wind Resource Assessment

Autonomous Power For WIND RESOURCE ASSESSMENT

Wind measurement campaigns are the foundation of renewable energy development — but operating sensitive measurement equipment in remote, northern, or snow-heavy regions requires uninterrupted, autonomous power. Grid extension is rarely feasible, and diesel generators compromise data quality while adding emissions, noise, and frequent servicing.

MOBISMART hybrid systems integrate solar arrays, battery storage, and fuel cells into rugged platforms designed for off-grid reliability. This Trifecta of Autonomous Power ensures continuous uptime for wind measurement equipment, delivering bankable data while reducing OPEX and environmental impact. Cold-climate engineering, pole-mounted arrays, and features like the Snow Snorkel keep systems running in even the harshest arctic conditions.

Applications

Wind measurement towers and masts

Remote pre-construction and feasibility campaigns

Long-term resource monitoring in northern climates

MOBISUN-125 vs MOBISUN-350 — Which is Right for Your Wind Lidar?

Both the MOBISUN-125 (Methanol) and MOBISUN-350 (Propane SOFC) are engineered to keep ZX300 and WindCube Lidars running 24/7, even in harsh off-grid environments. But depending on your campaign length, location, and reliability needs, one may be a better fit.
Attribute
MOBISUN-125 (Methanol DMFC)
MOBISUN-350 (Propane SOFC)
Outlook
Output
50–125 W
50–350 W
Battery
10 kWh (4× AGM)
20 kWh (8× AGM)
Cold Climate
Contains water (freeze risk)
Water-free, reliable to –40 °C
Stack Life
~4,500–5,000 hrs
10,000–15,000 hrs continuous
Fuel Logistics
Methanol cartridges (M28)
Propane tanks (multi-month autonomy)
Best Fit
Short-term campaigns, moderate climates
Long-term, cold-climate deployments
TCO
Higher (stack replacements, cartridge logistics)
Lower (longer stack life, propane refills)
Key Takeaways
Both trailers power ZX300 Wind Lidar and WINDCUBE Lidar

Choose MOBISUN-125 for shorter projects where portability and methanol supply are convenient.

Choose MOBISUN-350 for multi-year, cold-climate, or mission-critical deployments where reliability and lower lifecycle costs matter most.
