In the case of base stations situated in regions with bad-grid or off-grid power availability, the predominant source of power for the base stations is diesel generators. [4,6] Diesel generation is costly in both the procurement of fuel and travel required to maintain adequate fuel levels at the base stations.
It is shown that mobile network operators express significant interest for powering remote base stations using renewable energy sources. This is because a significant percentage of remote base station sites on the global level are still diesel powered due to lack of connections to the electricity grid.
Since base stations are major consumers of cellular networks energy with significant contribution to operational expenditures, powering base stations sites using the energy of wind, sun, fuel cells or a combination gain mobile operators’ attention.
The primary sources of power for these mobile base-station vary by region and can generally be categorized into 3 buckets: Reliable grid power: AC mains or grid power can reliably serve as the primary power supply.
