Abstract

The design of small hybrid power system for powering base transceiver station (BTS) is described in this paper. The energy for powering the BTS is obtained by using a combination of wind power, solar cell, and utility line. The sizing method for this kind of hybrid power supply is proposed. In order to verify the proposed design method, a pilot project of powering a 4000-Watt BTS is implemented. Operational experience of this kind hybrid power supply is reported in this paper. It is found that a hybrid approach is useful to reduce the cost of powering BTS in remote areas.
