Is 5G base station energy storage a reliable power supply?

Paper mentioned that under the premise of ensuring the reliability of its power supply, 5G base station energy storage has the feasibility of participating in the power supply of other electrical loads on the same feeder after a failure occurs in the relevant substation power supply area.

Why are 5G base stations important?

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.

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.

How many 5G base stations are there in China?

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.

Why do base stations have a small backup energy storage time?

Base stations' backup energy storage time is often related to the reliability of power supply between power grids. For areas with high power supply reliability, the backup energy storage time of base stations can be set smaller.

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.
