Hybrid Inverter Selection for BTS Shelters: Specs That Matter
Discover essential specifications for selecting hybrid inverters for BTS shelters and telecom towers. Learn how to ensure reliable, efficient, and scalable power solutions for
As seen in Figure 1, the BTS consists of a grid-connected power supply system which integrates a rectifier, the BESS unit, the Base Band unit (BB), the Radio Frequency (RF) unit, the Power Amplifier (PA) and different AC loads, such as the cooling system and lighting.
BTS configurations range from standalone solar powered BTSs with storage batteries, to grid-connected ones, in which the grid provides power to the BTS when the photovoltaic system (PVS) and the battery energy storage system (BESS) do not provide enough power.
BTS stations are the most important component of GSM mobile networks. The antennas installed on these towers are connected to the network via microwave radio waves, trying to get a city-like area under the full coverage of a mobile network. Hence, providing a robust and non-stop power supply guarantees customer service quality (Kaur et al., 2017).
As for the use of renewable energy, sustainable BTSs have become a real solution to the problem.
