Abstract : This novel proposes a hybrid power generation system to solve telecommunication industry issues, such as increased operational expenditures and carbon emissions from grid and diesel generator dependence. This hybrid system uses a wind energy conversion system as its main power source for base transceiver stations, along with a secondary battery backup. This particular setup utilizes a permanent magnet synchronous generator with a diode bridge rectifier which is known for its dependability and affordability. To extract the maximum power from the wind energy conversion system even at varying wind speeds and ensure realistic implementation, maximum power point tracking operation using the perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm is employed with the proportional-integral controller. Its reliable performance against disturbances from both the source and load fluctuations, and its ease of design and implementation, make this control system noteworthy. The MATLAB/Simulink environment is used to run extensive simulations to evaluate the proposed scheme for powering telecom towers through a PMSG-based system.
