In the optimal configuration of energy storage in 5G base stations, long-term planning and short-term operation of the energy storage are interconnected. Therefore, a two-layer optimization model was established to optimize the comprehensive benefits of energy storage planning and operation.
Reference revealed that the 5G base station energy storage could participate in demand response, and obtain certain benefits when it meets the basic power backup requirements.
The inner goal included the sleep mechanism of the base station, and the optimization of the energy storage charging and discharging strategy, for minimizing the daily electricity expenditure of the 5G base station system.
The optimization configuration method for the 5G base station energy storage proposed in this article, that considered the sleep mechanism, has certain engineering application prospects and practical value; however, the factors considered are not comprehensive enough.
2) The optimized configuration results of the three types of energy storage batteries showed that since the current tiered-use of lithium batteries for communication base station backup power was not sufficiently mature, a brand- new lithium battery with a longer cycle life and lighter weight was more suitable for the 5G base station.
A multi-base station cooperative system composed of 5G acer stations was considered as the research object, and the outer goal was to maximize the net profit over the complete life cycle of the energy storage. Furthermore, the power and capacity of the energy storage configuration were optimized.
