Are 5G base stations a flexible resource for power systems?The authors declare no conflicts of interest. Abstract 5G base stations (BSs) are potential flexible resources for power systems due to their dynamic adjustable power consumption. However, the ever-increasing energy consumption of 5G BSs place.
Is energy consumption a concern for 5G networks?Abstract—The fifth generation of the Radio Access Network (RAN) has brought new services, technologies, and paradigms with the corresponding societal benefits. However, the energy consumption of 5G networks is today a concern.
Does BS load rate affect the power consumption of 5G networks?the power consumption of AAU nearly linearly increases with the growth of BS load rate, while that of the BBU is quite stable at varying load rates. As the power consumption of 5G BSs is significantly higher than that of 4G BSs, we focus on the backup power allocation of 5G networks in this work.
What are the components of a 5G BS?The basic components of a 5G BS, which are illustrated in Figure 1 [ 20 ], mainly include communication equipment and power supply equipment. In addition, power supporting equipment such as air conditioning, lighting and monitoring equipment should also be installed. Diagram of the typical equipment composition of a 5G BS.
