Abstract

Remotely measuring and controlling specific parameters of a PV module via an RF link

Highlights

  • Fifty percent of the overall power consumption in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) field is dedicated to telecommunication networks (Koutitas & Demestichas, 2010)

  • When the load is switched off by the solar charge controller, the battery acts as a load and draws current from the PV module

  • The terminal voltage the PV module, in this case, reaches is 15.44 V when the LED load is switched off and the battery is charging. Both values of PV voltage are less than the rated maximum power voltage of 16.5 V, which indicates that the process of measuring is satisfactory

Summary

Introduction

Fifty percent of the overall power consumption in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) field is dedicated to telecommunication networks (Koutitas & Demestichas, 2010). Research has shown that a mobile base station uses an average of 36 000 kWh per year. The study included a sample of 6 mobile base stations in the center of Italy for shelter, room and outdoor types (Spagnuolo et al, 2015). The 2018 Telkom SA integrated report reflects 563 055 930 kWh electricity consumption by the telecommunications giant in South Africa (Telkom, 2018). A forecast study estimates that communication technology will consume 51% of the world’s electricity in 2030 (Andrae & Edler, 2015). This amplifies the need for more renewable and sustainable sources of electricity
