Abstract Aiming to improve energy reliability in base stations (on- and off-grid), this paper focuses on the benefits of a feasible solution that applies a multiple-output singleton type-1 Mamdani fuzzy system to monitor and manage existing energy sources. It also shows how useful the reliability function is for quantifying energy reliability in base stations under the stochastic availability of the existing sources of energy. In this sense, it pays attention to a macro base station that can be feed by a power utility, wind source, solar source, and diesel generator. Numerical results show that using the chosen fuzzy system results in a simple and effective technique for switching among the available sources of energy.
