5G base stations (BSs), which are the essential parts of the 5G network, are important user-side flexible resources in demand response (DR) for electric power system. However, a 5G BS has little and difference dispatchable potential, how to make massive 5G BSs participate in DR conveniently is an urgent problem to be solved.
[...] Cellular base stations (BSs) are equipped with backup batteries to obtain the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and maintain the power supply reliability. While maintaining the reliability, the backup batteries of 5G BSs have some spare capacity over time due to the traffic-sensitive characteristic of 5G BS electricity load.
Often referred to as the brain center, this includes: Baseband Unit (BBU): Handles baseband signal processing. Remote Radio Unit (RRU): Converts signals to radio frequencies for transmission. Active Antenna Unit (AAU): Integrates RRU and antenna for 5G-era efficiency. 2. Power Supply System
While maintaining the reliability, the backup batteries of 5G BSs have some spare capacity over time due to the traffic-sensitive characteristic of 5G BS electricity load. Therefore, the spare capacity is dispatchable and can be used as
