Phase PO2A – SUPPLY GENERATOR SETS FOR BMOBILE VODAFONE NETWORK
DEPLOYMENT
1. OVERVIEW
As part of the Bmobile Vodafone Network Expansion program, throughout PNG and Solomon
Islands, Bmobile hereby is calling for proposal from reputable selected Generators and Power
Solution suppliers to provide Hybrid Power units to power its Mobile Telecommunication
sites.
Bmobile is looking to install new and upgrade existing sites by May 1st 2015, when sites will
be ready as part of Project PO2A rollout in PNG. The hybrid power units selected will also be
used at Bmobile Vodafone sites in the Solomon Islands later in the year.
As a design baseline, Bmobile is looking for hybrid power solutions with;







Design shall have a design life of 10 years or over
Refuelling every 30 days
Low Capex cost
Low Opex cost
Efficient and dependable
Ability to interface with the Huawei BTS 3900 is desirable
Diesel generators to have the Deep Sea controller 7420.
2. DESIGN OVERVIEW
The Hybrid solution should be:
- based an efficient diesel generator with an adequate battery bank to support the load.
- The battery type should be sealed and maintenance free.
- Output is to be – 48V DC.
- Other inputs such as solar, wind and grid power should be available to the system as
a plug and play modules.
- The generator must not run continuously.
- Normal DOD of 30-35%, this allows the site to continue if the generator doesn’t start
and extends the number of cycles for the batteries.
- DC distribution panel with 2 x LVD for Priority and Non-Priority load control
- Maximum LVD of 50%

The hybrid power system sought is designed for Off Grid operations with a view to reduce
OPEX with comparison to conventional power solutions running 24/7 generators. The site
equipment will be Huawei cabinet with a -48 VDC input.

Table 1.
In principal, the expected operation of the generator (genset) is as below.
Typically the generator will run for about 30% of the time or less. For the rest of the time, the
battery is discharging. A full cycle should take around one day hence the characteristics of
battery, generator and load, and optimisation of the solution should support this.


The charged battery bank will dissipates to preset voltage level (DOD 30-35%), At DOD
level the start signal is sent to the genset and ATS, which takes over site load and
recharges the discharged batteries.
When batteries fully charged, genset stops and cycle repeats.

Solar, wind or grid input into the system to minimise generator use. This should be
available as a modular option where by it can be a plug and play solution
For sites that have grid power the grid should charge the battery . If grid power is lost
the batteries will discharge to DOD level. Once DOD has been reached the genset will
start and take the site load and recharge the batteries until grid power returns.
3. SCOPE OF SUPPLY
The scope of work will include designing, supply and commissioning of complete Hybrid
power solution. The installation can be done by a local contractor upon supervision from the
selected supplier. The scopes are as follows:
1. ____kw load design. Use from table 1 above.
2. Deep cycle Batteries @ 30-35% of normal DOD and 50% for LVD.
3. Off grid hybrid design shall be based on Generator-Battery scenario. Battery for 18
hours and Generator for 6 hours.
4. Grid design shall be based on 4 hours battery backup @ 30-35% DOD. Note: For On
Grid sites we will only require the generators of a suitable capacity as deemed by the
vendor.
5. Selection of appropriate size generator (KVA), Battery bank (Ah) and Fuel tank capacity
(Lts).
6. Design shall include
 battery boxes (with cooling facility),
 equipment cabinet,
 Appropriate rating rectifiers system,
 DC distribution panel with 2 x LVD for Priority and Non-Priority load control

Control system to operate system according to selected scenario. The system
controller must accurately manage charge and discharge cycles, including charge
voltage, charge duration, charge rate and depth of discharge. There should be an
option to limit the charging current of the batteries by the user.






Full NMS monitoring integration using remote management and SNMP output
to Solarwinds
The network operator or service organization can prove the hybrid cost savings
Ensure operation remains optimal
Manage the response to faults
Support battery warranty of 3 years,
Lightning protection, cabling, and auxiliaries, earthing and manuals.
