Optimization, Simulation And Control Strategy Of Hybrid Renewable Power System For Base Transceiver Station (BTS) In Bangladesh

Abstract

Base Transceiver station (BTS) is a set of telecommunication network that organized as tower with transmitter and receiver antennas. The function of BTS is power amplification so it can connect the telecom operator networking with customers. Power is the main issue for telecom operators to set up cellular network coverage in remote or isolated areas. Power generation by combining both renewable and conventional sources known as hybrid power generation, can be the most efficient way for electrification of Base transceiver station (BTS). The aim of this thesis is to determine the optimized system configuration of PV based renewable hybrid system for remote off-grid BTS sites as well as grid connected BTS sites in Bangladesh. The possibility of supplying electric energy from solar-wind resources to the BTS is also investigated. For this analysis three case study is considered. We analyzed the possibility of using renewable source for both off-grid and grid connected BTS taking Chittagong as reference site. The final optimization of the renewable based hybrid system is carried out through Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable (HOMER) software to find out that whether the system is feasible or not for proper electrification in the BTS.
