Abstract
Wireless and optical communication units are becoming more widespread nowadays, especially in rural areas. Therefore, feeding electricity has become essential for the continuity of services. As a result of economic and social development, there has been an urgent need to supply electrical power for the basic requirements of wired and wireless telecommunications equipment. This is linked to public safety, long life, and connection to uninterruptible power systems to ensure continuous power supply, whether from renewable energy sources or traditional diesel systems. This research studies and designs a renewable energy (solar) power system to power telecommunications equipment. The proposed power system consists of the following main components: photovoltaic panels, a wind turbine, an energy storage system (battery), in addition to the traditional power system represented by a diesel generator. The study addresses several principles, including reliance on meteorological information and the condition of the battery used in this system. This type of system offers the following benefits: reduced fuel consumption, lower CO2 emissions, and lower logistical costs.
