Can solar PV/fuel cell hybrid system power telecom base stations in Ghana?
This study investigates the viability of deploying solar PV/fuel cell hybrid system to power telecom base stations in Ghana. Furthermore, the study tests the proposed power system resilience by comparing its technical, economic, and environmental performance to PV/diesel and diesel power systems.
Can a PV/fuel hybrid system replace existing diesel power systems in Ghana?
Presently in Ghana, base stations located in remote communities, islands, and hilly sites isolated from the utility grid mainly depend on diesel generators for their source of power. This study presents an analysis on deploying a PV/fuel hybrid system as a possible substitute for existing diesel power systems and even grid-connected base stations.
What is the mobile telecommunication market in Ghana?
The mobile telecommunication market in Ghana has grown significantly within the past few years. It currently has a voice subscription base of 35 million and a data subscription base of 18 million. The total number of base transceiver stations and Node Bs is and respectively.
What is a low voltage electricity tariff in Ghana?
In Ghana, the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) categorizes telecom base stations connected to the national grid under the special load tariff—low voltage (SLT-LV) sector. The approved average electricity tariff for this sector is about 0.25 USD/kWh as of October (PURC, ).
Can Ghana decarbonize the telecom sector?
Also, it is supported by Ghana’s Renewable Energy Act 832, which promotes the utilization of locally available renewable energy resources to cut down greenhouse emissions (Government of Ghana, ). This is a potential footprint for Ghana towards decarbonization for the telecom sector across the country.
How important is Communication Technology in Ghana?
Information, Communication Technology (ICT) contributed about 2.4% to Ghana’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the year (Ghana Statistical Service, ). Presently, there is swift attention to enhancing the energy efficiency of communication networks.
