UK based Telgenco announces the launch of its SNMP based intelligent generator management solution developed specifically for telecommunications operators. The Telgenco solution consists of a centralised management software suite with database, a local generator controller, and optionally Telgenco's own 5kW DC genset. The management solution enables operators to remotely supervise their DC power generation assets across a network of sites by constantly monitoring generator operational status, fuelling requirements, engine and battery condition as well as site security. The system provides refuelling and maintenance scheduling based on real-time genset component condition reducing unnecessary costly site visits. “We have designed the system from the outset to reduce operating and capital costs associated with large scale generator deployments” said  Telgenco CEO Simon Albury. “An added benefit is that operators can demonstrate far better network resilience and integrity helping the operator to win and secure high value government and business customers”.

The management system has two key elements: the Telgenco remote engine management module (REMM3001) and the Telgenco remote management system (RMS500). This REMM3001 controls the genset locally on each site and acquires engine, fuel, security and other parameters via an array of sensors. When alarm conditions arise, the REMM3001 reports back to the RMS500 via an SNMP interface over the operator's own private IP network or via a secure public network utilising a VPN. As well as reporting alarms conditions, the central RMS500 schedules refuelling and maintenance activity. The RMS500 also maintains an extensive database of each sites alarm and maintenance history. This database can be mined to provide insight on genset reliability, fuel consumption and maintenance quality. The RMS500 can be optionally integrated into the operator's existing NMS.
