Design Selection Selection Matrix
Cell Tower Analysis • Needs • Adequate power supply for cell tower (1.2kW) • Minimize generator use • Minimize wasted dumped energy • Maximize cost efficiency
Base Station Solution • 6.5 kW Solar Panel • GE Durathon Battery A2 – 24.8 kWh • Diesel Generator
Solar Panels • Converts sunlight into electrical power • Larger panel increases energy efficiency and range • Dumps excess energy into charging the battery • Size - 21.5 x 21.5 ft
GE Durathon A2 Battery • Stored energy – 24.8 kWh • Life cycle of over 2500 charges, lasting 15 years • Efficiency • Discharge >92% • Recharge >97%
Summary • The solar panel, battery, and generator combination was selected to provide the cell hut and tower with the 1.2 kW. • Using the Cell Tower Analysis calculator a 6.5kW solar panel and the 24.8kWh battery were found to minimize the generator power and the dumped energy
