Telecom services play a vital role in the socio-economic development of a country. The number of people using these services is growing rapidly with further enhance growth expected in future. Consequently, the number of telecom towers that are critical for providing such services has also increased correspondingly. Such an increase in the number of telecom towers in a country implies a corresponding increase in the electricity demand of the country. Moreover, in view of growing concerns about climate change, it is necessary that the decarbonization of telecom towers is prioritized so as to minimize their carbon footprint. In view of the above, the primary objective of this paper is to provide a comprehensive analysis of various renewable energy-based systems and the advantages they offer for powering telecom towers, based on a review of the existing literature and field installations. Telecom towers are powered by hybrid energy systems that incorporate renewable energy technologies such as solar photovoltaic panels, wind turbines, fuel cells, and microturbines. Utilizing these systems helps to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and consequently mitigates the anthropogenic carbon emissions. Moreover, information related to growth of the telecom industry, telecom tower configurations and power supply needs, conventional power supply options, and hybrid system combinations and their benefits. Several field installations of renewable energy-based hybrid systems have also been summarized. This review can help to evaluate appropriate low-carbon technologies and also to develop policy instruments to promote renewable energy-based telecom tower power systems.

Since the number of mobile users has been increased, there comes a number of new mobile operators. This accounts for the increased installation of towers. A critical mobile network consume 40-50MW (approx.) and a diesel generator consume 1MG (approx.) of diesel per day. Also a base station requires greater amount of power employed for its working in which some of its internal applications like light, coolant systems say air conditioning, fans etc., uses the major part of the power utilized. This intensifies the burning of coal which emits carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. At times the number of users for a base station may be very less especially during night time, consuming the power unnecessarily. Our approach is to reduce the intake of power by the base stations during unwanted time. This can be done by establishing communication between the adjacent towers to intimate the unused tower to remain idle or active based on the requirement. Also this approach conveys the measures taken to reduce the power consumed by the internal applications of the base station. The entire setup is under the surveillance of personal computer thereby creating an energy efficient mobile infrastructure with power saving, reduction of CO2 emission which in turn reduces global warming and successful operation of large scale mobile communication services.

In this paper, we propose a framework to leverage electrical microgrids and cellular networks to support postdisaster communications for the public, government and critical infrastructure operation. The framework involves both policy and technical components. The proposed approach is an integration of electrical microgrids to provide power together with self configuring wireless mesh communication networks and local edge computing infrastructure to support critical communications and smart infrastructure services/applications in a specific geographic area. Hence, geographic zones which are resilient safe havens are created in a city. We outline the basic components of our approach and discuss open challenges to realizing the vision.
