Abstract
© 2019 IEEE.Economic aspect of hybrid renewable energy system for Base Transceiver Station (BTS) in Indonesia is analyzed in this paper. This analysis is very useful to examine the feasibility of the hybrid renewable system, compare to existing power supply of utility or diesel generator. Firstly, the design for hybrid renewable energy system for on-grid and off-grid BTS is proposed, to be the basis for economic analysis. Economic analysis is conducted based on Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) and Life Cycle Cost (LCC). It can be shown that the resulted LCOE is still higher than utility charge, but much lower than diesel generator operation. Although hybrid renewable energy system has higher initial cost, but in the longtime span it has lower future cost.
