Current status of energy storage in communication base stations

Why is base station energy storage important?

Therefore, the base station energy storage can be used as FR resources and maintain the stability of the power system. The base station is the physical foundation for the popularity of 5G networks. 5G base stations distribute densely in cities.

How to determine backup energy storage capacity of base stations?

For the determination of the backup energy storage capacity of base stations in different regions, this paper mainly considers three factors: power supply reliability of the grid node where the base station is located (grid node vulnerability), the load level of the grid node and communication load.

Can base station energy storage participate in emergency power supply?

Based on the established energy storage capacity model, this paper establishes a strategy for using base station energy storage to participate in emergency power supply in distribution network fault areas.

What factors affect the energy storage reserve capacity of 5G base stations?

This work explores the factors that affect the energy storage reserve capacity of 5G base stations: communication volume of the base station, power consumption of the base station, backup time of the base station, and the power supply reliability of the distribution network nodes.

Can energy storage flexibly participate in power system frequency regulation?

This paper proposes a control strategy for flexibly participating in power system frequency regulation using the energy storage of 5G base station. Firstly, the potential ability of energy storage in base station is analyzed from the structure and energy flow.

Does a base station energy storage model improve the utilization rate?

Where traffic is high, less base station energy storage capacity is available. Compared with the fixed backup time, the base station energy storage model proposed in this article not only improves the utilization rate of base station energy storage, but also reduces the power loss load and power loss cost in the distribution network fault area.
