Base Transceiver Station : 

Base Transceiver Station Base transceiver station or cell site (BTS) is a piece of equipment that facilitates wireless communication between user equipment (UE) and a network BTS applicable for any kind of wireless communication Requires uninterrupted power supply Provide 24X7 power backup for telecom Base Transceiver Station (BTS) using a hybrid of wind turbines, PV cells & fuel cells. Easily expandable to semi-urban & rural areas Negligible O&M costs Shorter Pay Back Period enabling the telecom players to recover the CAPEX Improve brand GE by contributing to India’s green GDP & pecuniary benefits through carbon trading Features of the Proposal Uninterrupted Power Supply to BTS Stations Drives the Growth ©brahm&company ©brahm&company © brahm&company

: 

Captive: Owned & operated by telecom operators Operator Controlled: Operator consolidates tower infrastructure & hives it off as a separate company Pool & Share: Operators jointly setup an independent company for sharing tower infrastructure Build & Operate: independent tower companies operate on build & operate model Market Potential Business Models Marketing Strategy Potential benefits of grid independent system needs to be communicated Carbon trading to earn carbon credits Unprecedented growth in telecom subscriber (CAGR projected ~18%) Approximately 350,000 BTS required by Mar 2010, up from 110,000 BTS as on Mar 2008 BTS, an intermediary between telecom exchange & mobile user needs continuous & reliable power supply since the availability of power is not consistent in India. Presently they use Diesel Generators to power up the BTS station ©brahm&company ©brahm&company © brahm&company

Technical & Economical Feasibility : 

Technical & Economical Feasibility Micro Wind Turbines Conversion of wind energy into useful energy using micro wind turbines Power Output (W) = 0.5 × Swept Area × Air Density × Wind Speed3 65000MW Solar Energy Use of photo-voltaic devices to generate electricity Continuous supply & storage of power is made possible 5000 trillion kWH Fuel Cells Utilizes the reverse hydrolysis process wherein H2 combines with O2 to produce electricity and produces water and heat as by-products Back up power in order to ensure consistency of power supply Device Description End-use Size 5000 trillion kWH Combination of Wind, solar & Fuel cells Optimal combination of all the three is decided by HOMER which ensures optimum usage of the available resources Consistent power supply to BTS stations at reduced cost Telecom operators market tapped + + = ©brahm&company ©brahm&company © brahm&company

The Road Ahead : 

The Road Ahead Rural Area Power Supply This Integration model would help in scaling up the power supply to rural areas through Grid Independent systems powering up rural India Government support would help GE to foray into rural & semi-urban lighting projects in a large scale Setup cost can be leveraged as against the ones used for powering the BTS station. ©brahm&company ©brahm&company © brahm&company
