Samina Power Station, currently the largest of the domestic power stations, has been operational since December 1949. In 2011-2015, it underwent a reconstruction that converted it into a pumped-storage hydroelectric power station. In recent decades, renewable energy efforts in Liechtenstein have also branched out into solar energy production.
Liechtenstein has used hydroelectric power stations since the 1920s as its primary source of domestic energy production. By 2018, the country had 12 hydroelectric power stations in operation (4 conventional/pumped-storage and 8 fresh water power stations). Hydroelectric power production accounted for roughly 18 - 19% of domestic needs.
Lawena Power Station is the oldest in the country, opened in 1927. The power station underwent reconstructions in 1946 and 1987. Today, it also includes a small museum on the history of electricity production in Liechtenstein. Samina Power Station, currently the largest of the domestic power stations, has been operational since December 1949.
Liechtenstein's national power company is Liechtensteinische Kraftwerke (LKW, Liechtenstein Power Stations), which operates the country's existing power stations, maintains the electric grid and provides related services. In 2010, the country's domestic electricity production amounted to 80,105 MWh.
The base station is a central device that is responsible for communicating with multiple NB Nodes and collecting data from them. The base station typically consists of an NB-IoT module, a microcontroller, and a backhaul interface.
NB-Fi Base Station hasexceptional sensitivity that allows achieving excellent link budget – the receiver sensitivity reaches -148 dBm at 50 bit/s. NB-Fi Base Station can cover a large area of hundreds of square kilometers and can provide connectivity for thousands and hundreds of thousands of devices and IoT sensors.
The NB Node is an IoT device equipped with NB-IoT connectivity and sensors, responsible for collecting and processing data. The base station acts as a central hub, receiving data from multiple NB Nodes, processing and forwarding it to the server or cloud platform.
The base station typically consists of an NB-IoT module, a microcontroller, and a backhaul interface. The NB-IoT module is responsible for providing connectivity to the NB Nodes and transmitting the data collected from them.
