Techno-economic assessment of photovoltaic-diesel generator-battery energy system for base transceiver stations loads in Nigeria
There are over 50,000 telecommunication base transceiver stations (BTS) operating on conventional diesel generators across Nigeria, giving rise to a high operational cost and emission of Greenhouse gases which can be minimized by the adoption of greener energy generation. Presented in this study, is...
