Abstract
The telecommunication industry is the technology of communication among humankind. One problem for this industry is to provide the required energy for its towers in the remote rural areas in the absence of the grid. This objection causes dependency of this industry to the diesel generators and battery banks as backup resources. Despite not being resilient and the effect of environment for the power supplies in diesel generators is still widespread. This paper presents a new optimized and environmentalist power supply configuration for the telecommunication tower based on the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). An optimized PI-based converter is also utilized to keep the source value reliable. For achieving optimized results for the PI controller, a developed version of the owl search algorithm is proposed. Simulation results have been applied in different conditions and the results are compared with Ziegler–Nichols, particle swarm optimization algorithm, and emperor penguins optimizer based PI controller to show the excellence of the proposed method.
Highlights
The world of telecommunication and information production is rapidly changing, and today we are witnessing their convergence with each other so that data and information are quickly and unimaginably transmitted to users around the world (Choi et al, 2019)
The paper claimed that the performance of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) was increased to 57.26%
Leng et al (2018) proposed an on-site hydrogen generation for base transceiver station (BTS) application for the fuel cell. They used two case studies for the analysis of the proposed system and the results showed that the hydrogen can improve the economics of power supply
Summary
The world of telecommunication and information production is rapidly changing, and today we are witnessing their convergence with each other so that data and information are quickly and unimaginably transmitted to users around the world (Choi et al, 2019). As it is clear from the literature, using renewable energies for the BTS is exponentially increasing and this is due to its advantages that were discussed before (Ebrahimian et al, 2018) Another case is that in most of these works, PEMFC is used as a popular fuel cell (Khodaei et al, 2018). The research provides a new modified optimization algorithm, called Improved Owl search algorithm, for optimal control of the boost component for different reasons such as providing a fast response for the dynamic of the interfacing unit, adjusting the DC distribution voltage, and guaranteeing the reliability of the system under output oscillations of the PEMFC during load variation of telecom tower. – Analyzing the proposed optimized method based on different voltage and load fluctuating
