There are two types of 5G base stations: macro-base station and micro-base station. A micro-base station covers small space and consumes little energy. On the contrary, a macro-base station consumes more energy and covers wider space than micro-base station. Therefore, macro-base. The base station is the physical foundation for the popularity of 5G networks. 5G base stations distribute densely in cities. According to the characteristics of. The additional cost to the base station operator comes primarily from the cost of reduced energy storage battery life. Energy storage battery life is limited, and.
In this article, we assumed that the 5G base station adopted the mode of combining grid power supply with energy storage power supply.
How to optimize energy storage planning and operation in 5G base stations?
In the optimal configuration of energy storage in 5G base stations, long-term planning and short-term operation of the energy storage are interconnected. Therefore, a two-layer optimization model was established to optimize the comprehensive benefits of energy storage planning and operation.
The inner goal included the sleep mechanism of the base station, and the optimization of the energy storage charging and discharging strategy, for minimizing the daily electricity expenditure of the 5G base station system.
According to the characteristics of high energy consumption and large number of 5G base stations, the large-scale operation of 5G base stations will bring an increase in electricity consumption. In the construction of the base station, there is energy storage equipped as uninterruptible power supplies to ensure the reliability of communication.
Will 5G base stations energy storage become a research hotspot?
As a result, 5G base stations energy storage will become a research hotspot as a new energy storage configuration subject to participate in the frequency regulation ancillary service.
The proportion of traditional frequency regulation units decreases as renewable energy increases, posing new challenges to the frequency stability of the power system. The energy storage of base station has the potential to promote frequency stability as the construction of the 5G base station accelerates.
