Additional Insights from Interviews

Building on last week’s interviews, we gathered further insights into the economic feasibility of renewable energy solutions for telecom infrastructure. Experts reinforced that while interest in energy-efficient base stations is high, the transition from research to large-scale implementation requires proven financial benefits and partnerships with telecom providers.

A telecommunications specialist highlighted:

"A escolha do tema da otimização do consumo energético das infraestruturas e equipamentos de suporte às estações de base é muito oportuna, dada a necessidade de reduzir emissões de ‘scope 2’ associadas à produção de energia elétrica por fontes não renováveis." ("The choice of optimizing energy consumption in infrastructure and equipment supporting base stations is very timely, given the need to reduce ‘scope 2’ emissions associated with electricity production from non-renewable sources.")

Another key takeaway was that real-time energy optimization models are gaining traction. Companies are exploring AI-driven tools to predict energy consumption and optimize resource allocation, aligning well with our project’s objectives.

Project Progress: Materials and Implementation Steps

We have now submitted the final list of materials required for our hardware setup, including solar radiation sensors, wind speed sensors, and data processing components. While waiting for the materials to arrive, we are working on refining our software framework to ensure smooth integration once the hardware is ready.

A telecom engineer with extensive industry experience stated:

"Dados os impactos positivos tanto no ambiente quanto no retorno financeiro, esta solução tem uma dupla vantagem." ("Given the positive impacts on both the environment and financial returns, this solution has a dual advantage.")

Next Steps

• - Continue refining our energy optimization models based on industry feedback.
• - Begin developing the web-based platform for visualization and analysis.
• - Prepare for the initial integration of sensor data once the materials arrive.

Additionally, each interview was conducted by members of our team, who analyzed the feedback and extracted key insights for our project. Moving forward, we will continue to document these discussions while maintaining confidentiality regarding interviewees’ identities and company affiliations.
