In the foreseeable future, 5G networks will be deployed rapidly around the world, in cope with the ever-increasing bandwidth demand in mobile network, emerging low-latency mobile services and potential billions of connections to IoT devices at the network edge .
the power consumption of AAU nearly linearly increases with the growth of BS load rate, while that of the BBU is quite stable at varying load rates. As the power consumption of 5G BSs is significantly higher than that of 4G BSs, we focus on the backup power allocation of 5G networks in this work.
Especially for the cloud radio access network (C-RAN) scenario with many baseband units (BBUs) pooled together, it is natural and convenient to supply backup power for those BSs all together. The scenario of 5G HetNet consisting of macro and small cells, in which the backup power is supplied by battery groups.
With shorter signal range compared to that of 4G, the deployment of 5G network is expected to be highly dense. It is estimated that, by 2026 and in China only, over 14 million new and upgraded 5G BSs will be built, with 4.8 million macro BSs and another 9.5 million small ones . Ⓒ2020 IEEE.

The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
