Energy Situation: Current and Future RealityEnergy Situation: Current and Future Reality

Energy quality and cost varies a lot with EB(Electricity Board / Grid);Can vary 100% among various states

Power solution will be even more challenging asthe wireless carriers go deeper in ruralheartland.

Most sites start with 24-hrs DG operation in first

few months due to delay in EB connection Conventional backup power sources are Diesel

gensets + Batteries

Carbon emissions and Noise pollution,

Maintenance

Fuel logistics, especially pilferage poseadditional challenges for the Industry

Batteries have certain drawbacks

Solar Power solutionSolar Power solution

Solar Energy is available in most part of the country and is reliable Solar Photo Voltaic System

Converts sun light in to Electrical Energy and

Consists of Solar Modules 48 V DC Battery 48V deep cycle type

Storing power for backup Giving backup in case no Power Source Available

Controller For Solar, DG

Where can we leverage Solar Energy?

Use Solar as Primary source in NO Grid situation.

Ideal for Rural Area with little chance of Shadow effect

Zero carbon emissions

Less possibility of site outage as site running on solar power during day time

Fuel cell introductionFuel cell introduction

Fuel Cell is a generic term that encompasses a wide range of

technologies that produce from 1 watt (cell phone) to several

megawatts (small factory) of power.

Fuel cell fuel is typically hydrogen, but hydrogen is made from

many different fuels and in different ways.

Applications for fuel cells cover the entire range of energy use

including Residential, Commercial, Backup, Cogeneration,Portable, Remote and Transportation
