The operational constraints of 5G communication base stations studied in this paper mainly include the energy consumption characteristics of the base stations themselves, the communication characteristics, and the operational constraints of their internal energy storage batteries.
Overall, 5G communication base stations’ energy consumption comprises static and dynamic power consumption . Among them, static power consumption pertains to the reduction in energy required in 5G communication base stations that remains constant regardless of service load or output transmission power.
The fundamental parameters of the base stations are listed in Table 1. The energy storage battery for each base station has a rated capacity of 18 kWh, a maximum charge/discharge power of 3 kW, a SOC range from 10% to 90%, and an efficiency of 0.85.
Figure 1 illustrates the equipment composition of a typical 5G communication base station, which mainly consists of 2 aspects: a communication unit and a power supply unit.
To effectively utilize 5G communication base stations’ low-carbon enabling potential in ADN operation, the impact of their information domain attributes (e.g., communication quality of service) on 5G communication base station operation must be considered in depth.
This paper develops a method to consider the multi-objective cooperative optimization operation of 5G communication base stations and Active Distribution Network (ADN) and constructs a description model for the operational flexibility of 5G communication base stations.
