Technical FAQs 4

What is a 5G base station energy storage device?

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:

What equipment is used in a 5G base station?

AAU is the most energy-consuming equipment in 5G base stations, accounting for up to 90% of their total energy consumption. Auxiliary equipment includes power supply equipment, monitoring and lighting equipment. The power supply equipment manages the distribution and conversion of electrical energy among equipment within the 5G base station.

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).

What is a 5G power supply?

The power supply equipment manages the distribution and conversion of electrical energy among equipment within the 5G base station. During main power failures, the energy storage device provides emergency power for the communication equipment.
