The denseness and dispersion of 5G base stations make the distance between base station energy storage and power users closer. When the user's load loses power, the relevant energy storage can be quickly controlled to participate in the power supply of the lost load.
For 5G base station energy storage participation in distribution network power restoration, this paper intends to compare four aspects. 1) Comparison between the fixed base station backup time and the methods in this paper.
This work explores the factors that affect the energy storage reserve capacity of 5G base stations: communication volume of the base station, power consumption of the base station, backup time of the base station, and the power supply reliability of the distribution network nodes.
Since China took the first step of 5G commercialization in 2019, by 2022, the number of 5G base stations built in China will reach 2.31 million. The power consumption of 5G base stations will increase by 3–4 times compared with 4G base stations [1, 2], significantly increasing the energy storage capacity configured in 5G base stations.
In this regard, the author's next step is to introduce a capacity factor to quantify the usage of base stations in different areas. China's 5G development will still advance rapidly in the future, while the deployment density of 5G base stations will further increase with the rapid development of society.
Finally, a two-stage robust optimization model is introduced to minimize system operating costs to solve the volatility of 5G base station communications and wind-solar output, thereby establishing an emergency power supply recovery model for base station energy storage and wind-solar output.
