Perturbation and Observation based Controller Design of Solar Energy for Remote Telecommunication Base Transceiver Stations

Abstract

The objective of this thesis is to design a Perturbation and Observation based controller forsolar energy for telecommunication BTS. Telecom sites get power typically from the grid and atthe incidence of power outages alternative power needs to be provided for sites. Solar energywith a battery bank is a great alternative for telecom sites to fulfill power calls. This thesisdiscusses a smooth battery bank charging and discharging system with solar power as thesupply source to give uninterrupted electricity for remote area sites and also to replace the sitewith a grid while needed. The necessities for telecommunication power systems are related totheir care, extended lifespan, and uninterruptible power. So, solar power system optimizationfor power feeding of telecommunication equipment has to satisfy the same desires. The focus ofthis thesis is standalone solar power system requirements, optimization, practical calculation,and sizing of its major parts. This kind of system has benefits such as fuel intake and CO2 releasedeclining and logistic costs decreasing and increasing the socio-economic growth of a country.Given the foregoing, the primary goal of this thesis is to design P & O based MPPT algorithmwith proper boost converter. From the previous works on this area, there was no boost converterdesigned and tested on Matlab Simulink. Telecom installations should be powered by energysystems that use efficient storage batteries, such as solar photovoltaic panels. Additionally,information about the telecom industry's expansion, telecom BTS designs, the benefits ofphotovoltaic systems, power supply specifications, and conventional power supply options wereexamined. This thesis can support the development of policy mechanisms to support optimalrenewable energy-based telecom site power systems, as well as the evaluation of appropriatelow-carbon tools. The MATLAB/Simulink is used to model the entire system.
