Hybrid energy plants for Cell Phone Towers

1. Delivering Reliable, Clean and Intelligent Energy
Tower Power delivers managed hybrid energy solutions for telco towers, utilizing
innovative IoT software for energy management and security
towerpower.co | TowerPower Inc.

2. Reliable, Affordable Energy for Cell Towers
• Off-grid and bad-grid sites
• Existing gensets are dirty, unreliable, and expensive
• Energy cost is the largest operating cost
99.95%
Uptime Requirement
15,000 Liters Diesel
Per Tower Per Year
Problem
$25,000 Energy costs
Per Tower Per Year
Electricity is 50%
of network
operator’s Opex.
At the tower, 65%
of expense is
electricity for the
BTS (base
transmitter
station).

4. Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS)
Business Model
● EaaS: Revenue created per tower for energy usage, security, and energy
asset management.
● Three financial models supported
● Power Purchase Agreement Model
● A Monthly Flat Fee model
● An Energy Saving Agreement Model

5. Technology
EMS and RMS Functionality
● Local EMS is intelligently scheduling local resources to reduce run-time
of energy equipment and air condition units
● Cloud based machine learning capabilities incorporate site’s
performance history & weather to improve power flow behavior to further
optimize energy usage
● Intelligent parts management and maintenance/replacement scheduling
based on history reduces work flow and down times
● Remote energy monitoring and integrated security surveillance via video
and device sensors reduces theft incidents and fuel pilferage
● Notification/alerts for all significant site activity allow fast response
times via remote or local intervention

9. TowerPower digital twin
● Two objectives:
Prevent unplanned downtime
Increase productivity of the system
● A digital twin is comprised of:
A virtual model of the physical asset
A model of the lifecycle of the asset
Analytics-based models based on
various assets
Actual data coming in from the
real asset
● Software-defined machine at the edge
