Our goal is to design a system that can power a cell tower using the most sustainable green energy sources. www.tomorrowisgreener.com www.electronsciences.com
Tanzania is an ideal location for the construction of our green energy powered cell tower. www.ri.net www.wikipedia.com
Where we put it in Tanzania • Zone TLZ 4 has the least threatening hazards The area within the circle includes the most populated areas in Tanzania.
We chose wind and solar power because of their efficient energy production Wind Power Solar Power A. Solar Power C. Geothermal Power B. Hydro Power D. Wind Power
We determined which concepts we planned to use by comparing them to other possibilities Hut Material A. Wood Hut B. Steel Hut C. Concrete Hut D. Brick Hut A. Incandescent Lighting B. Halogen Lighting C. Fluorescent Lighting
Specifications of our Cell Hut www.fisterinc.com/links/TellCommHutsDataSheet.pdf
A ventilation system directly above the batteries removes hot air from the hut. www.fujitsugeneral.com.au www.ventilation-china.com
Numerical analysis cont. • Lighting = about $500.00 • Wind Turbine = $15,000-$18,000.00 • Computer and inside hut materials = $2,000.00 • Charge Controller = $1,200.00 • Hut = about $4,000.00 • Wiring = $500.00 • Rectifier = $842.00 • Zoning/plot of land = $60,000.00 • Batteries = $1,250.00 • Construction/Labor = $140,000.00 • Cell tower = $150,000.00 • Total Cost = $378,290.00 • Income based off tower = $8,610.00$378,290/$8,610.00dollars/month = 43.9months43.9 months / 12months/year 3.7years!
