This paper investigates the possibility of using hybrid Photovoltaic–Wind renewable systems as primary sources of energy to supply mobile telephone Base Transceiver Stations in the rural regions of.
What types of power systems are used in communications infrastructure equipment?
Communications infrastructure equipment employs a variety of power system components. Power factor corrected (PFC) AC/DC power supplies with load sharing and redundancy (N+1) at the front-end feed dense, high efficiency DC/DC modules and point-of-load converters on the back-end.
What is a 3G base station converter?
In a 3G Base Station application, two converters are used to provide the +27V distribution bus voltage during normal conditions and power outages.
What is a multi-output power supply design?
Multiple output designs may also employ a complex regulation scheme which senses multiple outputs to control the feedback loop. Voice-over-Internet-Protocol (VoIP), Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), and Third-generation (3G) base stations all necessitate varying degrees of complexity in power supply design.
A preferred power supply architecture for DSL applications is illustrated in Fig. 2. A push-pull converter is used to convert the 48V input voltage to +/-12V and to provide electrical isolation. Synchronous buck converters powered off of the +12V rail generate various low-voltage outputs.
