From the above comparative analysis results, 5G base station operators invest in photovoltaic storage systems and flexibly dispatching the remaining space of the backup energy storage can bring benefits to both the operators and power grids.
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.
On the other hand, considering the energy use, the concept of a green base station system is proposed, which uses renewable energy or hybrid power to provide energy for the base station system, allowing energy flow between base stations and smart grid , , , .
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.
