 We pay for energy used, maybe peak power, but it is energy we consume!
 So the industry forward path is to conserve energy and enable
“multiple energy sources”.

Much of the technology sector has relied upon Moore’s Law, 30% annual reductions, but Energy Costs will not follow Moore’s Law.
So is a shift of emphasis coming? The need to manage energy costs.

 Cooling
 Temperature hardened (& smaller) equipment – eliminate HVACs.
 Ripple: OEMS addressing heat loss and efficiencies.
 Mixed cooling solutions.
 The weak link is batteries and the industry is responding.
 Reduce Transmission Losses
 Wireless OEMs starting with LTE, but has worked its way back to
3G, to reduce power demands of equipment – moving transmission power closer (reduce losses) to the antenna, changes in backhaul and of recent energy adaptive monitor-adjust of services (versus always full on).
 Cautionary note, some implementations of DAS (a form of small cells) have relied on “line-powering”, an effective way to provide low power to remote locations, but losses are high.

A look at India (2009)
 Average Daily Outage: 6.1 hours
 Power Quality: Poor
Though a grid provides a source of cheap power, it cannot be relied upon.
 Sites without power: 30%
Primary Source: Generators
Ripple: Shared Power Centers
Multiple Carriers sharing the same energy infrastructure – generators, rectifiers, batteries, et cetera.

… annual deployments of off-grid power supplies, using renewable or alternate energy sources, for remote mobile base states will grow from fewer than 13,000 worldwide in 2012 to more than 84,000 in 2020. In all, more than 390,000 such base stations will be deployed from 2012 through 2020.

Changes roles – Batteries are the Primary Energy Source

Loads are typically
<2 KW in Growth Markets
>2 KW in North America
But traditional Generators are oversized
<20 KW in Growth Markets
>20 KW in North America
The generator’s function is to recharge the batteries.

 All DC – Minimize conversions and inversion.
 Security station, tower lights, battery charger on generator, et cetera.
 Relook at how efficiency is measured. (Component vs System)
 Efficiency is effectively measured by the consumption of fuel at site!
 Operation Partial State of Charge .
 Balance: Battery Life vs Fuel Savings

 Good Energy Management now starts with site planning
 Clearances, landscaping and shade management
 Use the solar array to shade and cool critical equipment
 Neighbourhood acceptance
 Ability and Willingness to Support Smart Grid “flexing”
 Some US Utilities today do ask and reward our carriers to disconnect from the grid, when the grid is under stress. More to come?
 Coordination of Resources.
 Managing a hierarchy of energy sources.
 Scheduling best-fit of resources.
 Active Monitoring and Reporting of Energy
 Versus getting a monthly bill for fuel and electricity used.

 Drive for efficiency and reduction of losses will continue, but the savings well is not infinite.
 Remote Systems will continue to roll-out, but a higher mix of sites will be …
 Bad-Grid
 Off-Grid (also “Near-Grid”)
 Roll-out of renewable-alternate parts will grow.
 Moore’s Law does not apply to Energy Costs.
 Though most current procurement practices will hinder, we are seeing a transition >
 Manage the energy & be responsible for system operating cost.
