4 FAQs about Low-altitude 5G communication base station flow battery

Why do cellular base stations have backup batteries?

[...] 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.

What is a 5G base station?

The base station is the physical foundation for the popularity of 5G networks. 5G base stations distribute densely in cities. According to the characteristics of high energy consumption and large number of 5G base stations, the large-scale operation of 5G base stations will bring an increase in electricity consumption.

Does a 5G base station promote frequency stability?

The proportion of traditional frequency regulation units decreases as renewable energy increases, posing new challenges to the frequency stability of the power system. The energy storage of base station has the potential to promote frequency stability as the construction of the 5G base station accelerates.

Can auxiliary frequency regulation reduce frequency deviation of 5G base station?

Therefore, the strategy proposed in this paper can reduce frequency deviation of power system and auxiliary frequency regulation to maintain stable operation of power system. Taking the energy storage of 5G base station as the flexible FR resources, the control strategy of energy storage of 5G base station participating in FR is proposed.
