Distributed PV generation offers flexible access and low-cost advantages. Integrating distributed PV with base stations can not only reduce the energy demand of the base station on the power grid and decrease carbon emissions, but also effectively reduce the fluctuation of PV through inherent load and energy storage of the energy storage system.
Base station operators deploy a large number of distributed photovoltaics to solve the problems of high energy consumption and high electricity costs of 5G base stations.
Photovoltaic power generation is used as a distributed power source, and the backup power storage and photovoltaic power form a photovoltaic storage system. The photovoltaic storage microgrid structure of the grid-connected 5G base station is shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 1. Microgrid control architecture of a 5G base station.
The deployment of distributed photovoltaics in the base station can effectively promote the construction of a zero-carbon network by the base station operators. Table 3. Comparison of the 5G base station micro-network operation results in different scenarios.
When the base station operator does not invest in the deployment of photovoltaics, the cost comes from the investment in backup energy storage, operation and maintenance, and load power consumption. Energy storage does not participate in grid interaction, and there is no peak-shaving or valley-filling effect.
Access to the 5G base station microgrid photovoltaic storage system based on the energy sharing strategy has a significant effect on improving the utilization rate of the photovoltaics and improving the local digestion of photovoltaic power. The case study presented in this paper was considered the base stations belonging to the same operator.
