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.
The denseness and dispersion of 5G base stations make the distance between base station energy storage and power users closer. When the user's load loses power, the relevant energy storage can be quickly controlled to participate in the power supply of the lost load.
The massive growth of 5G base stations in the current power grid will not only increase power consumption, but also bring considerable energy storage resources. However, there are few studies on the feasibility of 5G base station energy storage participating in the emergency restoration of the power grid.
Since China took the first step of 5G commercialization in 2019, by 2022, the number of 5G base stations built in China will reach 2.31 million. The power consumption of 5G base stations will increase by 3–4 times compared with 4G base stations [1, 2], significantly increasing the energy storage capacity configured in 5G base stations.
The power consumption per unit of traffic (Watt/bit) is greatly decreased, but the power consumption of 5G increases greatly compared to that of 4G. Noticeably, in the 5G era, the maximum power consumption of a 64T64R AAU is 1000–1400 W, and that of a BBU is about 2000 W. Multiple bands in one site will be the typical configuration in the 5G era.
Compared with 4G networks, 5G not only increases power consumption by more than three times, but also doubles the demand for 5G base stations due to the attenuation of coverage. Therefore, for operators, 5G base stations The high power consumption has even become the primary reason for restricting 5G network construction.
