Unpredictable generation of renewable

energy for hybrid towers:As a reform

many Tower operators started using re-newable energy like Solar, Wind and bio

fuel for the hybrid tower. Telecom Regu-

latory Authority of India (TRAI) proposed

to power at least 50% of all rural towers

and 20% of the urban towers by hybrid

power (Renewable Energy Technologies

(RET) + Grid power) by 2015 & 75% of

rural towers and 33% of urban towers by

hybrid power by 2020. But unpredictable

generation of renewable energy is not

giving enough benefits to the operator.

Considering these factors energy stor-age integration with the telecom tower

is a better prospective for the sustainable

future. Energy storage application can

provide 20-25% of annual savings in cur-

rent fuel cost to the operators. Different

technologies such as advanced Lead acid,

lithium Ion, Zinc bromide can be suitable

for this purpose. In some case fly-wheel

storage system can also be integrated with

large capacity tower.

Why Energy storage application is a

better solution to fuel issue of telecomtower?

Initial Capital Expenditure moderate

Operational Expense Low

Reliability High

Capacity High (As per the requirement

of the tower)

Dependency Low (Independent to

geographic location)

Fuel availability Can be integrated to

Grid and Renewable energy source both

Eco Friendliness High (Depends upon the

technology and higher than the Diesel)In mid last year, Indus Tower Ltd an-

nounced it would be replacing diesel gen-

erators with energy storage at 20,000 of

its 110,000 towers within next 2 years. The

move came after the company stopped us-

ing diesel for power back-up in 5,000 tow-

ers, saving 3.6 million litres of the fuel a

year .India Energy Storage alliance, IESA

predicts that, after Reliance-SAFT deal, in

near future other telecom tower operators

like BSNL, GTL, Viom and Bharati Infratel

will join the reform.To support this reform many foreign

and Indian battery manufacturers like EX-

IDE, ABB, GE Energy, High Power batteries

are active in the Indian market.
