How to power 4G, 5G cellular base stations with photovoltaics, hydrogen
Researchers from Kuwait''s Kuwait University have proposed operating 4G and 5G cellular base stations (BSs) with local hybrid plants of solar PV and hydrogen.
View DetailsThis paper proposes an energy-saving operation model of 5 G base station that incorporates communication caching and linearization techniques. On one hand, the model characterizes the electrical consumption characteristics within the 5 G base station, focusing on each electrical component.
(1) Incorporation of Communication Caching Technology: The model includes communication caching technology, which fully leverages the delay-tolerant characteristics of communication flows, further enabling energy saving in 5 G base stations.
The objective function is to maximize the average energy efficiency of the 5 G base station, while ensuring that the traffic demand of the user group is met.
Firstly, in terms of energy equipment, the electrical component characteristics of the 5 G base station's constituent units are modeled, including air conditioning loads, power supply systems, and energy storage systems.
