Does a 5G communication base station control peak energy storage?

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.

What is a 5G communication base station?

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.

Do 5G BS batteries have a spare capacity?

While maintaining the reliability, the backup batteries of 5G BSs have some spare capacity over time due to the traffic-sensitive characteristic of 5G BS electricity load. Therefore, the spare capacity is dispatchable and can be used as flexibility resources for power systems.

Are 5G base stations energy-saving?

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.

What is a 5G virtual power plant?

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.

Can a virtual battery model be used for a base station?

Grounded in the spatiotemporal traits of chemical energy storage and thermal energy storage, a virtual battery model for base stations is established and the scheduling potential of battery clusters in multiple scenarios is explored.
