Abstract:
1. A modular system for providing electrical power, said system comprising: a conversion device for converting power from an alternating current (AC) source into a first possible source of direct current (DC); an energy-storage device for providing a second possible source of DC, the energy storage device acting in a temporary bridging capacity when switching from the AC source to a generating device; the generating device adapted to noncombustively consume a gas to generate a third possible source of DC; at least one base transceiver station (BTS) equipment that comprises radio hardware for supporting transmission and reception of data at a cellular base station, wherein the at least one BTS equipment is housed in an individual enclosure within a common housing, and wherein the at least one BTS equipment is provided with a power distribution unit that connects the at least one BTS equipment to the cellular base station that is located external to the common housing; at least one hydrogen tank; and the common housing that accommodates a preassembly comprising the conversion device, the energy storage device, the generating device, the at least one BTS equipment, and the at least one hydrogen tank, wherein the common housing comprises the enclosure with a first set of cabinet doors and a second set of cabinet doors coupled thereto, and wherein the first set of cabinet doors provides access to a front of the at least one BTS equipment and the second set of cabinet doors provides access to a rear of the at least one BTS equipment, wherein the common housing and the accommodated preassembly are transportable in one piece to a site of the cellular base station and installable to the cellular base housing upon connecting the power distribution unit and connecting the conversion device to the AC source external to the common housing.
