Cellular GSM systems require a repeater at distances varying from 1.6 Kms to 3.2 kms in cities and these repeaters are powered by Diesel Generators having capacity 15 KVA or more. These generators sometimes run 24 hours and some cases they run 6 to 8 hours if mains power is also used to power Base Stations. Multiple operators in a coverage area increase the power requirement many folds. Telecom power requirements are increasing at a very fast pace resulting in 5 times more pollution in last 2 years. The majority of worldwide CO2 emissions (includes all greenhouse gases including methane and refrigeration gases) result from activities in the corporate sector.

Typical Power requirements of BTS site met by wind and solar power are:

Very large installations of Switches and other equipments require centralized air conditioning units which require power in 100's of KWs and these are all equipped with standby Diesel Generators also located right in the center of the cities.

Heating consumption can be  reduced by optimization of office space. The fuel mix use of  heating systems, through the replacement of obsolete diesel oil heating systems with methane ones.

Replacement of old vehicles with hybrid or electric models can save considerable energy requirements of a Telecom Company. Compliance of vehicles to Euro 4 norms can lead to 30% less environment pollution.

Recom Systems Limited  services include the planning, design and construction of plants for renewable energy sources like biomass, waste, geothermal, solar and wind. We are involved in CO2 storage projects. For existing energy plants and industrial facilities, we identify potential solutions to reduce CO2 and save energy, and we assess the technical, financial, organizational and hazardous aspects of these solutions.
