Abstract
There is a need to quantify the environmental impact of powering Macro Base Transmitter Station sites with Diesel Generators. Energy consumption of using diesel to power base station by telecom networks is a contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This paper presents a model for calculating emission generation. The Model was used to study the Environmental impact of Macro Radio Base Stations powered by Diesel Generator using HOMER-optimization and simulation software tool. The environmental impact of powering base stations with diesel generators was assessed by quantify the emissions generated in terms of pollution and the impact in terms of Environmental cost. From the result of Emissions generated from Diesel Generator and presented here [105.96 tonnes of Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), 0.26 tonnes of Carbon monoxide (CO), 0.03 tonnes of Unburned hydrocarbons (UHC), 0.02 tonnes of Particulate matter (PM), 0.21 tonnes of Sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), and 2.33 tonnes of Nitrogen oxides (NO X )], the use of Diesel Generators to power GSM Base Station sites is seen as destroying the environment to meet business goals.
