Optimization of hybrid renewable energy system for a base tranceiver station (BTS) in Bangladesh

Now a dayspower is the main issue for telecom operators to set up cellular network coverage in remote or isolated areas.Power generation by combining both solar and wind energy, known as hybrid power generation, can be the most efficient way for electrification of Base transceiver station (BTS). The aim of this paper is to investigate the possibility of supplying electric energy from solar-wind-diesel based power planthybrid resources to the BTS situated in a commercial town of Bangladesh named Chittagong (22.30° north, longitude 91.42°east). The final optimization of the solar-wind- diesel based power plant 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.
