Small Cells, Big Impact: Designing Power Soutions for 5G
The need to increase the number of base stations to provide wider and more dense coverage has led to the creation of small cells. Small cells are a new part of the 5G platform that increase
An improved base station power system model is proposed in this paper, which takes into consideration the behavior of converters. And through this, a multi-faceted assessment criterion that considers both economic and ecological factors is established.
The optimization of PV and ESS setup according to local conditions has a direct impact on the economic and ecological benefits of the base station power system. An improved base station power system model is proposed in this paper, which takes into consideration the behavior of converters.
The most common method is to use multistage conversion: Table 1. Base station types. first the AC/DC or isolated PoE converter generating the intermediate bus voltage of 12 V or 5 V, and then a point-of-load converter to step down once more to the necessary voltage level.
The influence of converter behavior in base station power supply systems is considered from economic and ecological perspectives in this paper, and an optimal capacity planning of PV and ESS is established. Comparative analyses were conducted for three different PV access schemes and two different climate conditions.
