How does the Genset Optimizer reduce diesel consumption?

The Genset Optimizer keeps the diesel generator OFF when AC mains is available. When mains fails, it monitors shelter temperature and battery voltage. The generator only starts when the temperature exceeds the 'AC ON' threshold or battery drops below 'CHARGE ON' voltage — not continuously. It stops automatically once both parameters return to normal, minimising runtime and fuel use.

What is the temperature-based control logic?

If shelter temperature exceeds the preset 'AC ON' threshold, the generator starts and runs until temperature falls to the 'AC OFF' limit. The thresholds are user-configurable via the front-panel LCD display. This ensures the AC compressor only runs when genuinely needed.

Q: How does battery voltage control work in the Genset Optimizer?

When battery voltage drops below the 'CHARGE ON' level, the genset starts and runs until voltage reaches the 'CHARGE OFF' point. This reduces unnecessary charge cycles, extending battery lifespan. Users can also set a minimum genset ON time for operational flexibility.

Microprocessor-based controller that starts your diesel generator only when genuinely needed — based on shelter temperature or battery voltage. Substantially reduces fuel consumption at unmanned BTS sites.

How It Works

Two Control Logics, One Smart Controller

Temperature-Based Control

When AC mains fails and the shelter heats up:

Temp > AC ON threshold → Generator starts, AC compressor runs

Temp < AC OFF threshold → Generator stops

AC mains restored → Unit bypasses itself automatically

Battery Voltage-Based Control

During extended mains outage or cold weather:

Voltage < CHARGE ON level → Generator starts

Voltage ≥ CHARGE OFF level → Generator stops

Min ON time → Overrideable by user for operational needs

Stop genset after maximum runtime regardless of parameters

Applications

Ideal For

Unmanned BTS Sites

Saves significant diesel cost at remote tower sites where the AC should only run when cooling is genuinely needed.

Off-Grid Rural Sites

Sites with irregular grid power rely heavily on genset — optimizer dramatically reduces per-site fuel expenditure.

Battery Life Extension

By avoiding unnecessary discharge cycles, the optimizer extends battery bank life and reduces replacement costs.

OPEX Reduction

Telecom tower companies deploying across thousands of sites achieve substantial OPEX savings per site per year.
