Abstract

The problem of providing energy to remotely located systems is a serious concern for the telecom industry, specially powering the mobile telephony towers in rural areas, which lacks quality grid power supply. The feasible solution looks to be in the form of omnipresent and technically viable alternative renewable energy based stand alone hybrid system. In order to meet sustained load demands during varying natural conditions, different energy sources and converters need to be integrated with each other. This paper presents and explores the possibility of putting hybrid energy system for powering cellular mobile base station sites. Looking at Indian weather conditions, the most feasible configuration is the stand alone PV/Wind Hybrid Energy System with diesel generator as a backup for cellular mobile telephony base station site. This system will be more cost effective and environmental friendly over the conventional diesel generator based systems in near future.
