3 FAQs about 75kW Modular Energy Storage Cabinet Project Solution for 5G Macro Base Stations

Why do we need a 5G base station?

The limited penetration capability of millimeter waves necessitates the deployment of significantly more 5G base stations (the next generation Node B, gNB) than their 4G counterparts to ensure network coverage . Notably, the power consumption of a gNB is very high, up to 3–4 times of the power consumption of a 4G base stations (BSs).

How a 5G network can support a power system?

The 5G network and power system are coupled energetically by power feeders. Based on gNB-sleep actions and mode switching of their BESSs, 5G network can provide power support to the power system when the grid frequency deviation reaches the threshold.

What is a joint control framework containing 5G network and power system?

(1) A joint control framework containing 5G network and power system is designed to incorporate gNB systems,including gNBs and their BESSs, located in different areas into the existing secondary frequency control procedure during their TL non-peak hours. The 5G network and power system are coupled energetically by power feeders.
