On the other hand, considering the energy use, the concept of a green base station system is proposed, which uses renewable energy or hybrid power to provide energy for the base station system, allowing energy flow between base stations and smart grid, , , .
Scheme 1: The classic scheme in which the base stations are only powered by grid electricity. Scheme 2: The PV modules are connected in series to obtain higher voltage and are connected to the AC bus of the base station through an inverter with MPPT function. ESS is connected to the 48 V DC bus through bidirectional DC/DC converter.
Therefore, 5G macro and micro base stations use intelligent photovoltaic storage systems to form a source-load-storage integrated microgrid, which is an effective solution to the energy consumption problem of 5G base stations and promotes energy transformation.
When the base station operator does not invest in the deployment of photovoltaics, the cost comes from the investment in backup energy storage, operation and maintenance, and load power consumption. Energy storage does not participate in grid interaction, and there is no peak-shaving or valley-filling effect.
Optimization of PV and ESS was carried out for three schemes: Table 1. Case parameters. Scheme 1: The classic scheme in which the base stations are only powered by grid electricity. Scheme 2: The PV modules are connected in series to obtain higher voltage and are connected to the AC bus of the base station through an inverter with MPPT function.
