abstract |
Hybrid power infrastructure is often viewed as an alternative system configuration
for off-grid telecom base stations. These systems are used to reduce the fuel consumption
of diesel generator sites and often rely on wind or solar to supplement some of the
power to the load. The ability of a site to use the renewable energy efficiently becomes
more critical on sites where the quality of the wind or solar resource is poor or
highly variable. The long term and short term effects of wind and solar power contributions
to the system are demonstrated using historical wind speed/solar irradiation data
over a 3 year period. A feasible approach is proposed to improve the efficiency of
the system by analysing the rate of change of the renewable energy source(s). Using
several successive measurements, the battery charging system can be restrained temporarily
to allow for the initial stages of diurnal weather patterns. These patterns may later
negate the need for the charging cycle which can result in wasted power should a renewable
power source increase its power output during a generator charging cycle. |
