Powering 5G Infrastructure with Power Modules
Reliable and efficient DC/DC converters are essential for powering various components within base stations. The RPA150E series
The industry is also using real-time adjustment to optimize power usage and monitoring renewables by integrating energy monitoring capability into base stations. A typical Indian cellular base station running on diesel can cost up to US$14,510 per year while a solar-powered base station with battery backup costs only US$8215 per year.
A typical Indian cellular base station running on diesel can cost up to US$14,510 per year while a solar-powered base station with battery backup costs only US$8215 per year. It is expected that while the cost of diesel fuel will exceed US$20,000 in 2020, the prices of solar technology will continue to fall to less than US$5500 per year.
The base station uses radio signals to connect devices to network as a part of traditional cellular telephone network and solar powering unit is used to power it. The PV powering unit uses solar panels to generate electricity for base stations in areas with no access to grid or areas connected to unreliable grids.
Maximum consumption of base station is 2.0 kW and the power generated from the solar panels is 4.19 kW. The high-capacity rechargeable batteries can store between 14 and 16 hours' worth of power when energy from sun is not available.
