Sustainable Growth in the Telecom Industry through Hybrid
This study presents a thorough techno-economic optimization framework for implementing renewable-dominated hybrid standalone systems for the base transceiver
This study presents a thorough techno-economic optimization framework for implementing renewable-dominated hybrid standalone systems for the base transceiver station (BTS) encapsulation telecom sector in Pakistan.
A techno-economic study revealed that hybrid systems are the best solution for cities, and these include PV, wind power, diesel, and batteries. Additionally, these minimize CO 2 emissions and ensure pollution-free operation . The power consumed by a BTS load is directly obtained from solar, wind, and DG power.
Wind energy systems are dominant in the southern region; therefore, five BTS sites presented an ideal combination of a wind energy system coupled with a photovoltaic battery storage system, having DGs as backup sources for sustainability and with a varied LCOE of 0.1096 USD/kWh to 0.1294 USD/kWh.
To address this, this study assessed the viability and sustainability of hybrid systems, focusing on renewable energy, in 42 autonomous BTS sites across north, central, and south Pakistan. Optimization findings show that specific areas in the north are more suitable for solar, wind, biomass, and hydropower.
