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.
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.
Model of Base Station Power System The key equipment in 5G base stations are the baseband unit (BBU) and active antenna unit (AAU), both of which are direct current loads. The power of AAU contributes to roughly 80% of the overall communication system power and is highly dependent on the communication volume .
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.
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.
