Since base stations are major consumers of cellular networks energy with significant contribution to operational expenditures, powering base stations sites using the energy of wind, sun, fuel cells or a combination gain mobile operators’ attention.
This problem exists particularly among the mobile telephony towers in rural areas, that lack quality grid power supply. A cellular base station can use anywhere from 1 to 5 kW power per hour depending upon the number of transceivers attached to the base station, the age of cell towers, and energy needed for air conditioning.
Battery storage power stations are usually composed of batteries, power conversion systems (inverters), control systems and monitoring equipment. There are a variety of battery types used, including lithium-ion, lead-acid, flow cell batteries, and others, depending on factors such as energy density, cycle life, and cost.
The construction process of energy storage power stations involves multiple key stages, each of which requires careful planning and execution to ensure smooth implementation.
Most transceivers in the cellular base stations are run by 48 VDC to charge the batteries and power the communication equipment. The air conditioning of the base station runs at 220 VAC. These base stations can be powered by two types of diesel generators.
In order to design and implement a solar-powered base station, PVSYST simulation software has been used in various countries including India, Nigeria, Morocco, and Sweden. This software allows for estimation of the number of PV panels, batteries, inverters, and cost of production of energy considering the geographical and other design parameters.
