Cellular base stations powered by renewable energy sources such as solar power have emerged as one of the promising solutions to these issues. This article presents an overview of the stateof- the-art in the design and deployment of solar powered cellular base stations.
Base stations that are powered by energy harvested from solar radiation not only reduce the carbon footprint of cellular networks, they can also be implemented with lower capital cost as compared to those using grid or conventional sources of energy . There is a second factor driving the interest in solar powered base stations.
Improved Quality of Service and cost reduction are important issues affecting the telecommunication industry. Companies such as Airtel, Glo etc believe that the solar powered cellular base stations are capable of transforming the Nigerian communication industry due to their low cost, reliability, and environmental friendliness.
PV power is utilized in remote cellula r base statio ns, in de veloping countries the base stations often of f-grid and depend on their power sources. In developing countr ies there are over 230,000 cellular base stations will be wind-powered or PV -powered b y 2014 (Pande, 2009; Akkucuk, 2016). by 2014 (Bell & Leabman, 2019).
solar powered BS typically consists of PV panels, bat- teries, an integrated power unit, and the load. This section describes these components. Photovoltaic panels are arrays of solar PV cells to convert the solar energy to electricity, thus providing the power to run the base station and to charge the batteries.
cellular base stations will be wind-powered or PV -powered b y 2014 (Pande, 2009; Akkucuk, 2016). by 2014 (Bell & Leabman, 2019). There are about 5 million telecommunication towers worldwide, 640,000 of which aren’ t connected to an electrical gr id and largely run on diesel power.
