Limited space and far few PV modules are required in 5G systems. Thus, RE is a desirable power supply for such communication networks. The RE sources to power individual SCBSs may face geographical issues.
As a result, the operational cost of the system will rise, which is a significant concern of the mobile operators nowadays. It is expected that the 5G UDN network will increase the total network energy consumption by up to 150%–170% in 2026 ( Lorincz et al., 2019 ).
Technical challenges of microgeneration (microgrid) enabled 5G mobile networks Microgeneration (microgrid) is one of the alternatives to resolve the issues of conventional power backup sources. To make the microgrid resilient, it must be accurately designed.
The energy consumption profile of the base station depends on the load-dependent part and a load-independent part. The load-dependent energy is due to the dynamic traffic that base station serves.
Whereas, in future wireless systems such as UDN, the issue of insufficient space for PV arrays in cities and residential areas will be no longer have a high impact because the power consumption of 5G BS is smaller than that of their predecessor 4G BSs. Limited space and far few PV modules are required in 5G systems.
Such a resilient microgrid power supply system for the mobile network may have a hierarchical structure of energy management controller, one top level, or may be called as the central controller and the other lower level.
