Improved Model of Base Station Power System for
Individual 5G base stations require 3–4 times more power than fourth-generation mobile communication technology (4G) base
To meet the communication requirements of large capacity and low delay, the commissioning of new equipment has significantly improved the performance of 5G base stations compared with the previous generation base stations. At the same time, the new equipment has altered the power load characteristics of base stations.
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:
However, the widespread deployment of 5G base stations has led to increased energy consumption. Individual 5G base stations require 3–4 times more power than fourth-generation mobile communication technology (4G) base stations, and their deployment density is 4–5 times that of 4G base stations [3, 4].
The load of a 5G base station primarily consists of communication equipment and auxiliary components. The communication equipment mainly includes Active Antenna Unit (AAU) and Base Band Unit (BBU). AAU is a combination of radio frequency unit and antenna array of 5G base station.
