(A) The low-carbon base station consists of a power converter, power grid, photovoltaic, energy storage battery, and base station. The low-carbon base station system maintains communication with the control cloud platform and the micro base station.
Therefore, low-carbon upgrades to communication base stations can effectively improve the economics of local energy use while reducing local environmental pollution and gaining public health benefits. For this research, we recommend further in-depth exploration in three areas for the future.
Our findings revealed that the nationwide electricity consumption would reduce to 54,101.60 GWh due to the operation of communication base stations (95% CI: 53,492.10–54,725.35 GWh) (Figure 2 C), marking a reduction of 35.23% compared with the original consumption. We also predicted the reduction of pollutant emissions after the upgrade.
In this scheme, the base station is powered by solar panels, the electrical grid, and energy storage units to ensure the stability of energy supply. When there is a surplus of energy supply, the excess electricity generated by the solar panels is stored in the energy storage units.
A small-scale communication base station communication antenna with an average power of 2 kW can consume up to 48 kWh per day. 4,5,6 Therefore, the low-carbon upgrade of communication base stations and systems is at the core of the telecommunications industry’s energy use issues.
The results of this study indicate that low-carbon upgrades of base stations can not only significantly reduce the operational costs and carbon emissions of communication systems but also reduce pollution and bring considerable public health benefits. However, this transformation still needs to overcome multidimensional challenges.
