An Outline Design of Standalone Renewable Energy Generation for a Remote Mobile Phone Base Station in Shalbandi, Pakistan

A standalone solar-wind hybrid system has been proposed in this paper to supply power to a cellular phone base station of Shalbandi which is a rural/remote area of Pakistan. The comparison of proposed system has been done with a conventional power generator system. The analysis of three cases with different % shares of renewable energy based system has been carried out and the most viable combination of renewables is suggested depending upon the site conditions. It has been concluded from the results that the off-grid hybrid renewable energy based systems have myriad benefits if deployed with base station in rural or remote areas.
