Click Here To Download It For Free! Setting up a 5G base station is expensive, with costs ranging from $100,000 to $200,000 per site. This price includes hardware, installation, site rental, and maintenance. Urban areas often have higher costs due to land prices and infrastructure challenges.
The current 200,000 base stations can save 1.2 billion annually. By the end of this year, 1 million 5G base stations will be built, saving 6 billion in a year. If there are more than 2 million base stations, 12 billion electricity can be saved a year, which is equivalent to China Unicom’s total profit in one year.
The power consumption of a single 5G station is 2.5 to 3.5 times higher than that of a single 4G station. The main factor behind this increase in 5G power consumption is the high power usage of the active antenna unit (AAU). Under a full workload, a single station uses nearly 3700W.
It also provides a way to solve the problem of 5G energy consumption. This paper puts forward a scheme to install photovoltaic energy storage system for 5G base station to reduce the power supply cost of the base station, compares it with the energy consumption cost of 5G base station in different situations, and analyzes the economy of the scheme.
A substantial quantity of power is used by 5G BS. Radio transmitters and processors are a couple of base station components whose power consumption can be optimized with the use of PSO. PSO can assist in lowering the consumption of energy while preserving network performance by modifying parameters like transmission power and duty cycles.
Selected 5G base stations in China are being powered off every day from 21:00 to next day 9:00 to reduce energy consumption and lower electricity bills. 5G base stations are truly large consumers of energy such that electricity bills have become one of the biggest costs for 5G network operators.
