SOLAR POWER PLANTS FOR COMMUNICATION BASE STATIONS
Construction of 5G base stations for wind power communication Can EMC communicate with a 5G network?However, the communication operator builds the BS to complement the 5G
This study presents an overview of sustainable and green cellular base stations (BSs), which account for most of the energy consumed in cellular networks. We review the architecture of the BS and the power consumption model, and then summarize the trends in green cellular network research over the past decade.
The potential of using renewable energy was explored in [ 115 ], which found that solar power is the most suitable alternative power source for off-grid telecommunications systems and for grid areas that frequently experience power failure. A feasibility study conducted on a solar PV system in grid-connected BS sites was presented in [ 116 ].
Figure 10 reveals that many cellular network operators in the world have still not shifted toward green cellular BS. Most of these operators are located in developing countries with limited electricity supply and unreliable electric grids. The financial issues in these countries must be investigated further. 4.5.
Therefore, the use of solar-powered BSs is a cost-effective option for cellular network operators. In June 2016, the LG Uplus operator tested a solar-powered LTE BS with an energy storage system (batteries) that could operate between 24 h and 48 h even on cloudy days.
