It is also possible to shut down certain equipment during times of lower site trafic to simply save on energy consumption. Preparing your network for power outages caused by weather and natural disasters with advanced technology will increase the resilience, reliability, and eficiency of your telecom sites.
Weather-related power outages and unreliable AC grid power can not be avoided in some regions in the world. In these situations, telecom site automation can help during power outages across either individual or multiple sites and be beneficial during times of “normal” operation. The first link in the chain of power to a site is the AC grid.
In the United States, the number one cause of power outage is severe weather. Weather such as thunderstorms, hurricanes, and blizzards account for 58% of outages observed since 20022. Weather-related power outages have increased significantly since 1992 and will continue to increase due to climate change.
Telecommunications facilities typically have at least an eight-hour backup, often required by regulations. However, in areas prone to extended power outages, like those at risk during hurricanes, a backup capability of 24 to 72 hours is needed. To meet these requirements, providers use a mix of these three backup power technologies;
Batteries are a common backup power source for cell towers, delivering direct current (DC) power. Lead-acid batteries stay charged with grid power and release stored electricity as backup power. “ However, their power supply is limited to what’s stored. Moreover, challenging weather conditions can also affect their performance.
” Diesel fuel generators are the preferred backup power source for cell towers due to their versatility, longer runtime, and continuous power provision without frequent refueling. They outshine fuel cells and batteries, as diesel fuel is more accessible than hydrogen, and the latter is expensive to produce.
