  1. No Grid Telecom Base Station Energy Storage System Sponsored By GE Team 3 Kwan Hee Lee Sean Munck Paul Pfeiffenberger

  2. Mission Statement • Energy efficient alternative for cell service • Service to remote areas with no electric grid • Energy Systems • Communications

  3. Greater Accra Region, Ghana • Southern Ghana, bordering the Atlantic Ocean • Population of 2,905,726 people • Agricultural Economy • Contains Accra, largest metropolitan area in Ghana

  4. Design Approach Gantt Chart

  5. Design Selection Design Matrix

  6. Design Selection Selection Matrix

  7. Cell Tower Analysis • Needs • Adequate power supply for cell tower (1.2kW) • Minimize generator use • Minimize wasted dumped energy • Maximize cost efficiency

  8. Base Station Solution • 6.5 kW Solar Panel • GE Durathon Battery A2 – 24.8 kWh • Diesel Generator

  9. Solar Panels • Converts sunlight into electrical power • Larger panel increases energy efficiency and range • Dumps excess energy into charging the battery • Size - 21.5 x 21.5 ft

  10. GE Durathon A2 Battery • Stored energy – 24.8 kWh • Life cycle of over 2500 charges, lasting 15 years • Efficiency • Discharge >92% • Recharge >97%

  11. GE Hut Schematic (Using PV power)

  12. Cell Tower Design

  13. Benchmarking

  14. Cost Analysis

  15. Cash Flow Diagram

  16. Summary • The solar panel, battery, and generator combination was selected to provide the cell hut and tower with the 1.2 kW. • Using the Cell Tower Analysis calculator a 6.5kW solar panel and the 24.8kWh battery were found to minimize the generator power and the dumped energy
