Solar-Diesel Hybrid New Energy Telecom Base Station in Australia
Feb.22.2025 Views: loading...
Project Background:
BOUNERGY New Energy Company collaborated with a major Australian telecom operator to solve the power supply challenges of telecom base stations in remote areas. These locations often lack access to the main power grid and rely heavily on diesel generators, resulting in high operational costs and significant carbon emissions. To address these issues, BOUNERGY designed and deployed an innovative solar-diesel hybrid power solution for this project.
Project Location:
A telecom base station in a remote area of Queensland, northern Australia, approximately 150 kilometers from the nearest grid connection, with challenging transportation conditions. Traditional power supply methods were insufficient for long-term operation.
Solution:
BOUNERGY designed and implemented a solar-diesel hybrid power system. This solution combines solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation with a backup diesel generator to ensure 24/7, stable, and efficient energy supply.
Solar Power System:
A 30 kW solar PV array was installed, covering the majority of the base station’s energy needs. During the day, the solar panels generate electricity to power the equipment, with excess energy stored in high-efficiency lithium battery packs.
A 50 kWh lithium battery energy storage system was integrated to ensure stable power supply during the night and cloudy weather.
Diesel Generator System:
A diesel generator was set up as a backup power source, only activated during prolonged periods of cloudy weather or in emergency situations. The diesel system works intelligently with the solar PV system, ensuring that the generator runs only when necessary, reducing diesel consumption and maintenance costs.
Smart Energy Management System:
The base station uses BOUNERGY’s smart energy management system, which automatically adjusts the diesel generator's start and stop times based on solar power generation, battery charge levels, and load demands. This ensures optimal energy distribution.
Project Results:
1.Reduced Energy Costs: By integrating solar power and battery storage, the diesel generator's operating time was reduced by over 70%, leading to substantial fuel savings and lower operational costs.
2.Lower Carbon Emissions: The hybrid system reduced the base station’s carbon footprint by over 60%, contributing to the telecom operator’s sustainability goals.
3.Increased Reliability: The combination of solar power and diesel backup ensures continuous operation, even in remote areas with extreme weather conditions, improving network uptime and reliability.
4.Scalability: The success of this project demonstrated the potential to scale the solution across other remote telecom sites in Australia, promoting the adoption of clean energy technologies in the telecommunications sector.
