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.
Although the absolute value of the power consumption of 5G base stations is increasing, their energy efficiency ratio is much lower than that of 4G stations. In other words, with the same power consumption, the network capacity of 5G will be as dozens of times larger than 4G, so the power consumption per bit is sharply reduced.
The explosive growth of mobile data traffic has resulted in a significant increase in the energy consumption of 5G base stations (BSs).
However, this technological leap comes with a substantial increase in energy consumption. Compared to its predecessor, the fourth-generation (4G) network, the energy consumption of the 5G network is approximately three times higher .
This article focuses on the optimized operation of communication base stations, especially the effective utilization of energy storage batteries. . With the rapid development of 5G base station construction, significant energy storage is installed to ensure stable communication. Recognizing this, Mobile Network Operators are actively prioritizing EE for both network maintenance and environmental stewardship in future cellular networks. Currently, base station energy storage batteries are often idle and do not participate in power supply, resulting in resource waste and battery life. . Energy storage systems allow base stations to store energy during periods of low demand and release it during high-demand periods. Surplus energy generated during sunny periods can also be stored, avoiding waste. Energy storage systems (ESS) have emerged as a cornerstone solution, not only. . As global 5G deployments surge to 1.
