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.
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.
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.
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.
