A review of renewable energy based power supply options for telecom
Moreover, information related to growth of the telecom industry, telecom tower configurations and power supply needs, conventional power supply options, and hybrid system
Among the various options for supplying electricity to telecom towers, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, distributed generation (DG), and battery-based hybrid systems are the most common. Most of the time, these setups have battery energy storage systems to handle vital loads when other power options are unavailable.
From the analysis, it was noted that, at pan India level, rural telecom towers are powered only for about 13.5 h per day through the grid as compared to 20 h per day in metro cities (NITI AAYOG, 2015). About 70% of all telecom towers have less than 12 h per day of electricity supply from grid (GSMA & IFC, 2011).
Small capacity (1—10 kW) wind turbines can offer another feasible option for powering telecom towers at appropriate locations with adequate wind resources availability (Sarmah et al., 2016). A 10 kW vertical axis wind turbine is proposed by Eriksson et al. (2012) to electrify telecom towers.
Additionally, the modular nature of wind and solar technologies provided much-needed flexibility in designing systems to supply electricity to telecom towers (Alsharif et al., 2017; Aris & Shabani, 2015; L. Olatomiwa et al., 2015; Salih et al., 2014).
