The photovoltaic storage system is introduced into the ultra-dense heterogeneous network of 5G base stations composed of macro and micro base stations to form the micro network structure of 5G base stations .
Because it is estimated that in 5G, the base station's density is expected to exceed 40–50 BSs/ Km 2 . The energy consumption of the 5G network is driving attention and many world-leading network operators have launched alerts about the increased power consumption of the 5G mobile infrastructure .
Therefore, 5G macro and micro base stations use intelligent photovoltaic storage systems to form a source-load-storage integrated microgrid, which is an effective solution to the energy consumption problem of 5G base stations and promotes energy transformation.
Does a 5G base station microgrid photovoltaic storage system improve utilization rate?
Access to the 5G base station microgrid photovoltaic storage system based on the energy sharing strategy has a significant effect on improving the utilization rate of the photovoltaics and improving the local digestion of photovoltaic power.

The increasing total energy consumption of information and communication technology (ICT) poses the challenge of developing sustainable solutions in the area of distributed computing. Current communication network technologies, such as wireless cellular networks, are required for applications and. . Comparison of power consumption between 4G and 5G base stations The power consumption of 4G base stations is affected by multiple factors such as equipment type, load rate, and environmental conditions. Core energy consumption comes from the main equipment (RRU/BBU), air conditioning, and power supply systems (switching power supplies and batteries). Since traffic load in mobile networks significantly varies during a working or weekend day, it is important to quantify the influence of these variations on the base station power consumption.

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 .
