In a similar vein, Pakistan’s NEPRA proposed the IGCEP 2022–31, which aims to raise the on-grid capacity of renewable energy generation by 22% by 2030 and is presented in Figure 1 b .
Which energy source is used in Pakistan?5.1.6. Wind and Hydro with Battery Storage System (W-HYD-B) Due to its low operating costs, hydel electricity is a commonly used energy source and the primary energy source in most nations, including Pakistan. Only one BTS site named BTS-11 Swat has an optimal configuration of W-HYD-B, which can be seen in Table 10.
Is 5G the future of mobile communication?Currently, mobile communication is now entering into the era of fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks (Alsharif et al., 2019). It is expected that 5G networks are capable of providing 1000 fold network capacity and connecting trillions of devices.
Which fuel is used in BTS locations in Pakistan?Over 80% of the expenses for off-grid and BTS locations are attributed to diesel fuel used in generators. In Pakistan, BTS locations are expanding across the north, south, and central regions. This study focused on 42 selected BTS sites to create HRESs, depicted in Figure
