If the OpCos and TowerCos continue to use diesel, as is the case for more than 90% of all off-grid and bad-grid towers today: Diesel consumption for telecom towers will increase by 13-15% from today’s levels, to over 150 million barrels per year/ US$19 billion in 2020, or US$5 per mobile-phone user per year 45 million tons of CO2 per year will be released

Conversion to more efficient, greener alternative power solutions, which include diesel generator-advanced battery and renewable energy hybrid systems, could save the industry US$13-14 billion annually. million annually in carbon savings.

ENERGY STORAGE

ON-GRID Solar plant

Off- Grid and Hybrid are the two solar plants where battery bank is installed

Battery bank is used to store the power and use the stored power in when required

During the charging hours the power is provided to the load and the battery system attached is also charged simultaneously

Hybrid systems are majorly preferred in power cut situation where battery works as alternative power source, similarly in off grid there is no power borrowed from the power grids

Lead acid, VRLA, AGM, lithium and Flow (Vanadium) batteries are used for power backup

PROBLEMS FACED IN CURRENT BACKUP SOLUTIONS

• Costly –approximately 100%-120% times costly compared to grid power

• Diesel pilferages losses, thefts

• Noise & Air pollution – TRAIguidelines on

• Fluctuating diesel prices

• High repair time in case of DG breakdown specially in remote locations

• Physical Safety – Theft

• Less effective in case of frequentpower cuts – high charge time

• Bulky nature – more space required by batteries

• Poor battery performance -reduced lifecycle in poor grid power areas

• After sales service – maintenance, battery replacements
