China Mobile's outdoor base station distributed power generation
📌

How much electricity does China use per base station?

For China, based on a single base station power's energy consumption of 11.5 KWh (Huawei, ), we estimate that the electricity consumed by its 5G network by will be 6.04 × 10 5 GW for 6 million base stations, the equivalents of 8.4 % of China's national total power generation in , respectively.

📌

What is a distributed collaborative optimization approach for 5G base stations?

In this paper, a distributed collaborative optimization approach is proposed for power distribution and communication networks with 5G base stations. Firstly, the model of 5G base stations considering communication load demand migration and energy storage dynamic backup is established.

📌

What is a 5G base station?

At the same time, a large number of 5G base stations (BSs) are connected to distribution networks , which usually involve high power consumption and are equipped with backup energy storage , , giving it significant demand response potential.

📌

Does China have a 5G network?

Given that China currently has the largest 5G network in the world (∼1.53 million base stations by the end of , Table S1) and that base station number was projected by up to 6–8 million by (CCID Consulting, ), concerns are being expressed regarding 5G mobile networks' environmental effects and sustainability.

📌

How much CO2 will China's 5G network produce?

Under the model predicted 5G base stations, China's 5G network could yield 0.15–0.29 GtCO2 /yr emissions subject to the nation's BDDL from 40 to 80 % by . Both 5G base stations and CO 2 emissions are significantly lower than the previous estimates.

📌

How many 5G base stations will we have by ?

Our modelled 5G base stations by range from about 1.3 to 5.0 million subjects to the two scenarios.
