Pioneerspark Medical Centre
Pioneerspark Medical Centre
2017
Pionieerspark Medical Centre can call themselves a proud owner of a 38kW photovoltaic grid feed system. Considerable savings on the monthly electricity bill are achieved as most of the electricity requirements are produced directly at the customer. Excess energy is fed back into the grid and credited on the monthly electricity bill by City of Windhoek.
The system consists of 144 265W PV modules mounted flat on the roof of the building with 2 Fronius three phase grid feed inverters and remote monitoring via the Fronius App on the cell phone. Remote monitoring allows CTS to advise the client on possible faults and recommended actions to be taken.

Oranjemund Airport - Supply, Install and Commission of an Aviation Weather Monitoring System
DeBeers Marine Namibia
2015
DeBeers Namibia published a tender for the supply and installation of a weather monitoring system at the Oranjemund Airport. CTS was awarded the tender based on price, knowledge of the meteorological measuring equipment as well as quality of products. At time of installation the station was the most advanced aviation weather station in Namibia.
Technical Details of the system installed:
- Ceilometer at end of runway 20 to measure cloud height at three levels up to 7,500m
- Runway Visibility and Present Weather sensor at stop end of runway 20.
- Present weather sensor monitors 7 different types of precipitation
- visibility sensor takes background luminescence into account
- Wind speed and direction a touchdown runway 20.
- Wind speed and direction, rain as well as barometric pressure at stop end runway 20
- AviMet server for processing of all data
- 3 workstations spread along the buildings for weather monitoring and supervision purposes
- ATIS voice system transmitting on aviation frequency as well as telephone dial in the current weather conditions
All communication between the equipment and the AviMet server is based on wireless transmission to reduce cabling costs.
The weather information can be picked up rough 100 NM away from the airport by all approaching aircraft.

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.

Containerized off-grid solar solution for the Omusati Region
Ministry of Mines and Energy
2013
CTS was awarded the first ever containerized off-grid solar electrification tender for the Ministry of Mines and Energy beginning of 2013. This project entailed:
- Upgrading of all government building wiring as per national standard for 9 sites in the Omusati 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 3,000 to 4,500 Ah of battery capacity depending on site requirements. Five KVA inverter charger and two 70A Blue Solar Charge regulator all from Victron Energy complete the system.
With a total of nine containers, school, hostels and other government buildings were electrified. Each container was subdivided into two rooms for batteries and inverter technology respectively.
With our 36T/m crane truck CTS was able to transport the container to site, navigating through thick sand with ease.

Hanns Seidel Foundation -Foundation - Electrification of 2 School in the Ohangwena Region
Hanns Seidel Foundation
2018
CTS has electrified two schools in remote northern Namibia funded by the Hanns Seidel Foundation with the aim to provide electricity for lighting, thus extending learning hours for learners well into the night. Both systems are based on BlueNova 4kWh lithium ion batteries, Victron Energy charge regulators and inverter technology. Remote monitoring is possible via the integrated Colour Control GX from Victron. Special attention has been given to the system configuration to prevent total battery shutdown. This is achieved by switching the inverter off at a predefined battery state of charge (typically 20%) and only reactivate the inverter once the batteries are charged beyond a predetermined threshold.
The systems where officially inaugurated by the Ambassador of Germany in June 2018.

Supply and Installation of Automatic Weather Stations at Kanovlei and Koichab Pan
National Botanical Research Institute
2014
National Botanical Research institute approached CTS to upgrade two of their existing AWS to satellite communication and subsequent installation at Kanovlei in the Tsumkwe Area as well as Koichab Pan close to Lüderitz.
Communication is via Meteosat satellites and based on a “fire and forget” principal which unfortunately does not allow remote maintenance procedures.
The stations form part of the SASSCAL Weathernet and measure all important meteorological parameters.
