There are many advantages to this. A space-based solar power stationcould orbit to face the Sun 24 hours a day. The Earth’s atmosphere also absorbs and reflects some of the Sun’s light, so solar cells above the atmosphere will receive more sunlight and produce more energy.
Improved Quality of Service and cost reduction are important issues affecting the telecommunication industry. Companies such as Airtel, Glo etc believe that the solar powered cellular base stations are capable of transforming the Nigerian communication industry due to their low cost, reliability, and environmental friendliness.
The simulations were carried out for the Grid-Connected and the Stand-Alone solar power systems by using Benin City, Nigeria as a case study. The PVSYST6.0.7 simulation results shows that the power generation costs for the grid connected solar powered system is less when compared to standalone solar powered system in Benin City, Nigeria.
A study conducted in South Africa (Aderemi et al., 2017) found that the use of electricity from solar PV for a telecom tower can reduce up to 49% of the operational cost as compared to conventional DGs. On the other hand, COE is defined as the average cost per kW-hour (kWh) of useful electrical energy produced by the system.).
Wind energy, solar energy have played increasingly important role in power system. Wind energy, solar energy have nature complementarities with regard to the time and the region with storage batteries, can be achieved to improve the output power curves and reduce adversely affect when renewable energy connect into the power grid.
