Can a bi-level optimization model maximize the benefits of base station energy storage?

To maximize overall benefits for the investors and operators of base station energy storage, we proposed a bi-level optimization model for the operation of the energy storage, and the planning of 5G base stations considering the sleep mechanism.

What is the sleep mechanism of a base station?

The sleep mechanism of a base station refers to the intelligent shutdown of major power consumption devices, such as the AAU of the base station, when there is no load or the load is low, such that the energy consumption is greatly reduced.

Why does a base station have a low power load?

Therefore, when the electricity price was at its peak, the base station system had a low power load and would discharge to the grid in part of the time. Conversely, when the electricity price was at its low, the base station system had a high power load.

Does a 5G base station use energy storage power supply?

In this article, we assumed that the 5G base station adopted the mode of combining grid power supply with energy storage power supply.

How do I select a base station with no load?

2) Select the periods where various base stations experience no load. Based on the typical daily communication load curve of the base station, the communication loads of the base station in each time period are compared separately, and the time periods where the base station experiences the no load state in 24 hours are selected.

What is the traditional configuration method of a base station battery?

The traditional configuration method of a base station battery comprehensively considers the importance of the 5G base station, reliability of mains, geographical location, long-term development, battery life, and other factors .
