Are 5G base stations a flexible resource for power systems?
The authors declare no conflicts of interest. Abstract 5G base stations (BSs) are potential flexible resources for power systems due to their dynamic adjustable power consumption. However, the ever-increasing energy consumption of 5G BSs place
Are 5G base stations more energy efficient than 4G BSS?
The energy consumption of 5G base stations (BSs) is significantly higher than that of 4G BSs, creating challenges for operators due to increased costs and carbon emissions. Existing solutions address this issue by switching off BSs during specific periods or forming cooperation coalitions where some BSs deactivate while others serve users.
What equipment is used in a 5G base station?
AAU is the most energy-consuming equipment in 5G base stations, accounting for up to 90% of their total energy consumption. Auxiliary equipment includes power supply equipment, monitoring and lighting equipment. The power supply equipment manages the distribution and conversion of electrical energy among equipment within the 5G base station.
What is a 5G base station energy storage device?
During main power failures, the energy storage device provides emergency power for the communication equipment. A set of 5G base station main communication equipment is generally composed of a baseband BBU unit and multiple RF AAU units. Equation 1 serves as the base station load model:
How a 5G base station has changed the performance of a base station?
To meet the communication requirements of large capacity and low delay, the commissioning of new equipment has significantly improved the performance of 5G base stations compared with the previous generation base stations. At the same time, the new equipment has altered the power load characteristics of base stations.
Do 5G BSS save energy?
However, the ever-increasing energy consumption of 5G BSs places great pressure on electricity costs, and existing energy-saving measures do not fully utilise BS wireless resources in accordance with dynamic changes in communication load, resulting in flexible resource waste and seriously limiting electricity cost savings for 5G BSs.
