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.
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.
Similarly, modalities of optimally using hybrid systems for powering telecom towers should also be identified. Since the past two decades, conventional power supply options including the grid, batteries, and diesel generators have dominated the telecom towers' electricity supply.
Ullah et al. (2014) have explored the power supply options for supplying electricity to telecom tower using a solar-wind-diesel based hybrid system. The telecom tower is located in Chittagong in Bangladesh.
As diesel-only backup systems become costly and environmentally constrained, hybrid microgrids combining PV, battery storage, and generators are rapidly becoming the preferred solution.
