  5. What is expected from the design • Cell phone base with constant 1.2 kW load operating at -48 VDC • Operate using renewable energy in a hybrid system

  6. Expectations Continued GenSet AC Loads Renewable Energy Charge Controller Converter DC Loads Battery

  7. How does the design meet the project requirements? • Create a self-sustaining cell phone tower that will provide a consistent strong cell phone signal using a renewable energy source. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/eb/CellPhoneTower_OR.jpg

  8. How we meet the needs of the locals and tourists • Providing a cell phone tower • Charge cell phones • (Kitchen Building) • Lighting Waste Energy

  9. CAD Design of Cell Phone Base AC Loads Charge Converter DC Loads Battery GenSet

  11. Calculations/Spreadsheet

  12. Costing Off The Shelf Pricing • Batteries: • 24.8 kWh Sodium Halide = $12,000 • Converters • 4 x $500 = $2,000 • Diesel Generator • $4,000 • Labor • $7500 • Hut Materials • $3,000 • Renewable Sources: • 9.36 kWh Solar Panel = $25,008.00 (DMSolar.com) • 15’ Wind Turbine (Whisper 500) = $7,810 (solarcellsales.com) • Overall Total • $71,500 http://coastalaltenergy.com/images/7_w500_sky_web%20cropped.jpg

  13. Final Costing • Non-renewable • 1312 gallons, $5680.96 • Renewable • 15 gallons, $64.96 • $4.33 per gallon • Save $5616.96 *12.7 years payback http://www.620ckrm.com/blogs/willycole/wp-content/uploads/dollar-sign.jpg

  14. Goals of the cell phone base design • Convenient for both locals and tourists • Unique support of the locals • Increase tourism in the area • Consistent and strong cell phone signal http://i1.trekearth.com/photos/16124/kuna_yala_woman_2.jpg
