Abstract In this study, the feasibility of the fuel cells application to the power supply system of GSM cell sites is evaluated. The following conclusions can then be found : (1)If one mobile cells company installs 16 sets of 200 kw fuel cell and 7320 sets of 2.1 kw fuel cell at 5 MSCs and 2440 cell sites, it may have the overall benefit of 160,030,000 NTD after cost benefit analysis for the design point of the 9 years life cycle of fuel cells. (2)If the above benefit is employed furthermore to provide the suggestion proposal of the discount price of the electrical power for the 9 years life cycle of fuel cells, the surplus power generated by fuel cells in this study can be sold at 0.29 NTD per kwhr. It is 12% of the national average electrical price. It presents obviously the significantly competitive power in the market of the electrical power. The national average electrical price is 25.2 NTD at the present time. (3)If the reasonable electrical price is assumed at 90% of the above national average electrical price, the total benefit of the suggestion proposal of the discount price of the electrical power for the 9 years life cycle of fuel cells will reach 3,055,234,107 NTD. It has been over 30 hundred millions. It is a very considerable benefit. Therefore, the economic effects of the fuel cell electrical power system of telecommunication site equipments of mobile cells are essentially positive in this study. The fuel cell may certainly be employed to work as a feasible, clean, and separated supply system of the electrical power. It also is one of the most effective and new technologies to reduce the greenhouse gases.
