GSM TELEPHONE STATION WITH PV

Objective

The purpose of this project is to show the great technical and economical progress made in medium scale photovoltaic systems for telecommunications which are now capable to support electric power with the same quality and service guarantee as a conventional power source. The project plans to prove a better service than a diesel generator through providing 15 complete power system in Spain with 5.7 kWp each to supply the electrical needs to the GSM relay stations.

The power source to operate all the telecommunication equipment's is mainly a photovoltaic system utilising diesel engine system as a backup. The PV part has an array of solar modules of 5.7 kWp and the diesel has 10 kVA. The load has 500 W continues working 24 h and 365 days per year. The diesel engine will give an average of 20% per year of the energy to the battery to start the engine. The control charge regulator called mP-60 manufactured and developed by ATERSA.
