In practice, S1 links are expensive, and usually operators do not deploy enough capacity to support the maximum cell capacity offered by the air interface.
If we are wise and lucky, we will rapidly improve the efficiency of our built environment, deploy renewable capacity and convert to an all-electric infrastructure that runs on it.
Apart from dynamic association of RNs and eNBs, dynamic backhauling also allows the operator to activate and deactivate RNs in a certain area as needed in order to deploy extra capacity needed to satisfy peaks in users' demand, but at the same time save energy when it is not needed by simply powering off unnecessary RNs. Figure 4 illustrates the deactivation procedure.
Since 1980s, when the first commercial wind turbine was deployed, their capacity, efficiency and visual design have all improved a lot.
So if you want to have nuclear as a real contributor say in 2050 you better start now in terms of thinking about getting substantial deployments because we still have the order of a 100 gigawatts of deployed nuclear capacity.
Furthermore, these networks create economies of scale advantages for mainline services by deploying larger capacity vessels for the network's trunk route.
Some of the equipment at these sites has been there since the first rollout wave, whereas others would have been deployed for capacity or coverage upgrades at a later stage.
India's long-term demand for thermal coal stems from a massive coal-fired build out (Ultra Mega Power Plants, UMPP) that will deploy larger (capacities > 4,000 MW) and much more efficient (> 43% vs. 29% for subcritical) super/ultra-supercritical plants to reduce feed and emissions.
About 21,000 MW or 15 percent of worldwide deployed PV capacity consists of solar farms larger than 4 MW.
Total deployed wind capacity would have certainly been lower, and bankruptcies, shuttered projects, and laid-off employees far higher without the program.
