Innovation in energy storage systems for communication base stations

What is a distributed collaborative optimization approach for 5G base stations?

In this paper, a distributed collaborative optimization approach is proposed for power distribution and communication networks with 5G base stations. Firstly, the model of 5G base stations considering communication load demand migration and energy storage dynamic backup is established.

What is a 5G base station?

At the same time, a large number of 5G base stations (BSs) are connected to distribution networks, which usually involve high power consumption and are equipped with backup energy storage,, giving it significant demand response potential.

What is a collaborative optimal operation model of 5G base stations?

Afterward, a collaborative optimal operation model of power distribution and communication networks is designed to fully explore the operation flexibility of 5G base stations, and then an improved distributed algorithm based on the ADMM is developed to achieve the collaborative optimization equilibrium.

Does increased BS energy storage capacity reduce the total system operation cost?

In addition, the proposed method has better convergence than the conventional algorithm. The increased BS energy storage capacity can reduce the total system operation cost. However, for CO, with the increased energy storage capacity, its total cost shows a gentle V-shaped trend, so CO needs to find a compromised optimal energy storage capacity.
