Design, Manufacture and Supply 21 Automatic Weather Stations

National Botanical Research Institute (BIOTA)

2010

CTS has supplied 21 weather stations for the Biota research project. These weather stations are designed according to world meteorological standard.

Each station consists of:

Wind Speed and Direction Sensor
Irradiance Sensor
Humidity/Ambient Temperature Sensor
Barometric Pressure Sensor
Ground Temperature Sensor
Leaf Wetness Sensor
Rain Bucket

The weather stations are equipment with the CR1000 logger from Campbell Scientific. Special software has been developed to allow automatic transmission of the weather data to a server based in Germany via GPRS using the local GSM network. Software updates can be done remotely minimizing travel.

Supply, Delivery and Installation of a Gas Fired Water Heating System for Hilton Hotel Windhoek

Hilton Hotel Windhoek

2010

CTS was awarded the tender to install a water heating system for the Hilton Hotel Windhoek.

The system was installed according to the following specifications:

• 2x 250kW gas fired hot water boiler

• 2x 6800 liter hot water storage tank (also known as calorifier)

• 1x Danfoss Aqua drive 11kW for glycol circulation pump control

• 2x Automatic bypass valves to control water temperature inside tank

• 4x Hot water circulation pumps

The boilers as well as glycol circulation pumps and one hot water storage tank were installed in the boiler room located in the upper basement of the hotel. The second hot water storage tank is installed on the 9th floor of the Hilton Hotel. A glycol circulation system connects the two calorifier with the two gas fired hot water boilers. The glycol circulation pumps are controlled from one Danfoss Aqua drive with cascading functionality to control the pumping speed depending on the temperature in the glycol line.

Each hot water boiler is cycled on a 24 hour basis, should the glycol temperature fall below a predetermined threshold for certain period of time the second boiler will start automatically.

Automatic bypass valves guarantee that the water temperature of each calorifier is kept at a constant 60 – 65 degrees Celsius.

Supply and Installation of 3 Automatic Weather Stations in the Kunene Region

University of Hamburg

2017

The University of Hamburg approached CTS directly with the request to quote and subsequently manufacture and install 3 automatic weather stations at:

Khorixas
Kaoko Otavi
Okangwati

Once again, satellite communication has been chosen, this time not because of GSM not being available, but to reduce future cost of the stations as satellite communication for these stations has got no costs associated.

In addition to the basic data measured:

Wind speed
Wind direction
Humidity
Air Temperature
Irradiance
Barometric pressure
Ground Temperature
Rain
Leaf wetness

The stations are equipped with a WLAN interface. This allows the connection of 49″ SmartTV to be connected to each station to display the current weather inside close by offices.

6kw grid feed photovoltaic system installed in Klein Windhoek

Private

2011

CTS was approached by a senior resident of Klein Windhoek to install a grid-tied photovoltaic system with the aim to cut back on the monthly electricity bill. The system included:

42x 130W photovoltaic modules and mounting structure
1x 6kW grid tied inverter

The system is designed such as to generate an estimated 900kWh per month.

Containerized off-grid solar solution for the Kunene Region

Ministry of Mines and Energy

2014

After successful completion of the Omusati off grid electrification project, CTS was successful in winning the bid for the second phase of containerized PV solutions for the Kunene region. With the experience gained from phase 1, the containers were optimized in many ways. The final design consisted custom build 20ft container by Namspace in Swakopmund.

Sites that were electrified in the Kunene region are:

Otjitjekua School
Otjiu School
Otjiu Hostel
Epupa School

The project included the following:

Upgrading of all government building wiring as per national standard for 4 sites in the Kunene region:
Manufacture, supply and install container power units for these sites.

The power containers consisted of ca 2.8kW of PV modules installed on the roof as well as 4,500 Ah of battery capacity. Five kVA inverter charger and two 70A BlueSolar Charge regulator all from Victron Energy complete the system. Remote monitoring of all sites is achieved by using the Victron Color Control GX unit.
