No Grid Telecom Base Station Energy Storage System
GE Transportation
NAKURU
Problem Statement
We are undertaking the GE project of building a reliable cell phone base station in a Third World Country with an unreliable or nonexistent energy grid. We are attempting to build a reliable and cost efficient cell phone base station capable of carrying a constant 1.2+ kW load using a sustainable green energy source, diesel generator, and a sodium metal halide battery so that we can provide people in the area with reliable cell phone service.
Research
Wind Power7-10 mph just to get
them going 10 kW might not be
generated until 25-30 mph.
From 1990-1997 in Nakuru: Average Wind Speed=
1.76 m/s or 3.93 mph Mode Wind Speed= 0 mph
HydropowerPumped StorageLake Nakuru is
relatively close to the city but…o Max. depth=2.8
meterso 495 species of birds,
along with other wildlife

Base Transceiver StationEntirely solar poweredDoes not need grid
power /diesel generators
No air conditioningNeeds 230 W to runSmaller PV array while
chargingMeets same
requirements as other systems

Conclusion
If you take away anything from our project, you should understand…
1. 100% solar energy1. no diesel
1. BTS ≈ 1/5 original2. “phototropism”3. Dump loadcharger4. pay for itself ≈1 year
