The 5G communication base station can be regarded as a power consumption system that integrates communication, power, and temperature coupling, which is composed of three major pieces of equipment: the communication system, energy storage system, and temperature control system.
Given the significant increase in electricity consumption in 5G networks, which contradicts the concept of communication operators building green communication networks, the current research focus on 5G base stations is mainly on energy-saving measures and their integration with optimized power grid operation.
This paper considers the peak control of base station energy storage under multi-region conditions, with the 5G communication base station serving as the research object. Future work will extend the analysis to consider the uncertainty of different types of renewable energy sources’ output.
The 5G network is the wireless terminal data; it first sends a signal to the wireless base station side, then sends via the base station to the core network equipment, and is ultimately sent to the destination receiving end.
This model encompasses numerous energy-consuming 5G base stations (gNBs) and their backup energy storage systems (BESSs) in a virtual power plant to provide power support and obtain economic incentives, and develop virtual power plant management functions within the 5G core network to minimize control costs.
In the future, it can be envisioned that the ubiquitously deployed base stations of the 5G wireless mobile communication infrastructure will actively participate in the context of the smart grid as a new type of power demand that can be supplied by the use of distributed renewable generation.
