During main power failures, the energy storage device provides emergency power for the communication equipment. A set of 5G base station main communication equipment is generally composed of a baseband BBU unit and multiple RF AAU units. Equation 1 serves as the base station load model:
The power supply equipment manages the distribution and conversion of electrical energy among equipment within the 5G base station. During main power failures, the energy storage device provides emergency power for the communication equipment.
AAU is the most energy-consuming equipment in 5G base stations, accounting for up to 90% of their total energy consumption. Auxiliary equipment includes power supply equipment, monitoring and lighting equipment. The power supply equipment manages the distribution and conversion of electrical energy among equipment within the 5G base station.
The research on 5G base station load forecasting technology can provide base station operators with a reasonable arrangement of energy supply guidance, and realize the energy saving and emission reduction of 5G base stations.
