Energy Sustainability??
Todays Energy Demand.
Only less of the total power can be converted to
effective RF energy
Should reduce power wastagethrough the
network
Steps To Reduce Power Consumption
Radio equipment power wastage-
moving the radio equipments closer to antenna
Already achieved in almost all operators using RBS/ DBS systems
Radio Equipment Power Wastage
Contd..
Dynamic sleep mode software to power down during low traffic
periods
-Can be achieved with the existing vendors using advanced
features
Advanced power amplifiers
-Depends on vendor specification.
How to Reduce DC Power Consumption
Use the maximum efficient zone, with load >40% of
the rectifier capacity can be achieved using software
simulated activities (sleep mode)
Using High efficient rectifiers. (Efficiency>96%)
Typical characteristics curve for rectifier
Cooling Wastage??
Typically 30% of power consumed for cooling at a site
Cooling the whole environment is not needed
It should be optimized only for equipment space
Should give dust free environment to the equipment
Equipment reliability should maintain
Indoor to Outdoor Cabinet Shifting
Cooling space can be optimized using outdoor cabinets
Sealed environment provides dust free interface
Equipment and power separation creates more reliability
to the system

Benefits of using DC/EC Air Cons.
Note: EC- Electronically commutated.
Energy saving:
Unique external fan control function available for energy saving as well
asemergency working mode
Low noise:
The noise level of the unit is reduced according to the heat load, silently
operating inmost time
Corrosion protection:
Powder coated sheet metal endures harsh environment
Easy maintenance:
IP55 design for flushing
