How much energy does a communication base station use a day?
A small-scale communication base station communication antenna with an average power of 2 kW can consume up to 48 kWh per day. 4,5,6 Therefore, the low-carbon upgrade of communication base stations and systems is at the core of the telecommunications industry’s energy use issues.
How does a base station work?
In this scheme, the base station is powered by solar panels, the electrical grid, and energy storage units to ensure the stability of energy supply. When there is a surplus of energy supply, the excess electricity generated by the solar panels is stored in the energy storage units.
Will communication base stations reduce electricity consumption?
Our findings revealed that the nationwide electricity consumption would reduce to 54,101.60 GWh due to the operation of communication base stations (95% CI: 53,492.10–54,725.35 GWh) (Figure 2 C), marking a reduction of 35.23% compared with the original consumption. We also predicted the reduction of pollutant emissions after the upgrade.
Can solar power improve China's base station infrastructure?
Traditionally powered by coal-dominated grid electricity, these stations contribute significantly to operational costs and air pollution. This study offers a comprehensive roadmap for low-carbon upgrades to China’s base station infrastructure by integrating solar power, energy storage, and intelligent operation strategies.
What is a base station energy optimization?
The optimization covers configurations of base station energy supply equipment (e.g., investment in photovoltaics [PV] and energy storage capacity) and operational locations (e.g., urban vs. rural deployments).
Do communication base station operations increase electricity consumption in China?
Comparing data from , , and , 41 we found that the electricity consumption due to communication base station operations in China increased annually.
