The charging and discharging actions of energy storage meet the requirements of various 5G base stations for microgrid power backup. During the low electricity price period, the 5G base station microgrid purchases electricity from the grid to meet the power demand of the base station.
However, the widespread deployment of 5G base stations has led to increased energy consumption. Individual 5G base stations require 3–4 times more power than fourth-generation mobile communication technology (4G) base stations, and their deployment density is 4–5 times that of 4G base stations [3, 4].

For energy efficiency in 5G cellular networks, researchers have been studying at the sleeping strategy of base stations. In this regard, this study models a 5G BS as an (M^ { }/G/1) feedback retrial queue with a sleeping strategy to reduce average power consumption and conserve power in 5G mobile networks.
In this article, we assumed that the 5G base station adopted the mode of combining grid power supply with energy storage power supply.
In summary, currently, there is abundant research on energy storage optimization configuration. However, most of the research on the energy storage configuration of 5G base stations does not consider the factors of participation of energy storage in demand response, and the optimization models are rarely implemented.
The inner goal included the sleep mechanism of the base station, and the optimization of the energy storage charging and discharging strategy, for minimizing the daily electricity expenditure of the 5G base station system.

Therefore, the battery used for the power backup has a large idle space.

Introduction
A significant number of 5G base stations (gNBs) and their backup energy storage systems (BESSs) are redundantly configured, possessing surplus capacity during non-peak traffic hours. Moreover, traffic lo.
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).
On the one hand, 5G network operators are highly motivated to cooperate with the power system in energy matters, given that the numerous gNBs with their high energy consumption result in significant electricity bills that can be troublesome for the operators, .
In 5G-RAN, the gNB systems within designated areas are combined into gNBs-clusters by aggregators. All gNBs-clusters are powered by the power system plane through power feeders, so switching the modes of a certain number of gNBs (sleep/active) and BESSs (charge/idle/discharge) can alter the power injection of the power system.
The 5G network plane consists of three layers: 5G-CN, 5G-TN, and 5G-RAN. The servers in 5G-CN operate as a centralized controller while 5G-TN is responsible for the bi-directional transmission of information. In 5G-RAN, the gNB systems within designated areas are combined into gNBs-clusters by aggregators.
The 5G network and power system are coupled energetically by power feeders. Based on gNB-sleep actions and mode switching of their BESSs, 5G network can provide power support to the power system when the grid frequency deviation reaches the threshold.
In, the BESSs for gNBs are introduced into a multi-energy flow system as a demand response, and on the intra-day time scale, the operational cost of the multi-energy system is optimized by leveraging the demand response of multiple energy storage systems, including the BESSs for gNBs. 1.3. Research gap and contributions
China Tower is a world-leading tower provider that builds, maintains, and operates site support infrastructure such as telecommunication towers, high-speed rail, subway systems, and large indoor distributed systems. As of June 2019, China Tower boasted a combined 1.954 million sites. In Hangzhou, the 5G Power solution deployed by China Tower and Huawei supports one cabinet for one site and boasts smart features like intelligent peak shaving, intelligent voltage boosting, and intelligent energy storage. China Tower and Huawei conducted joint pilot verification in 2018 and found that the 5G Power solution could support effective 5G site deployment without changing the grid, power distribution or cabinets. This in turn could cut retrofitting costs for a single site by more than.
However, Li says 5G base stations are carrying five times the traffic as when equipped with only 4G, pushing up power consumption. The carrier is seeking subsidies from the Chinese government to help with the increased energy usage.
China Mobile has tried using lower cost deployments of MIMO antennas, specifically 32T32R and sometimes 8T8R rather than 64T64R, according to MTN. However, Li says 5G base stations are carrying five times the traffic as when equipped with only 4G, pushing up power consumption.
Although the absolute value of the power consumption of 5G base stations is increasing, their energy efficiency ratio is much lower than that of 4G stations. In other words, with the same power consumption, the network capacity of 5G will be as dozens of times larger than 4G, so the power consumption per bit is sharply reduced.
The power consumption of a single 5G station is 2.5 to 3.5 times higher than that of a single 4G station. The main factor behind this increase in 5G power consumption is the high power usage of the active antenna unit (AAU). Under a full workload, a single station uses nearly 3700W.
Edge compute facilities needed to support local processing and new internet of things (IoT) services will also add to overall network power usage. Exact estimates differ by source, but MTN says the industry consensus is that 5G will double to triple energy consumption for mobile operators, once networks scale.
The main factor behind this increase in 5G power consumption is the high power usage of the active antenna unit (AAU). Under a full workload, a single station uses nearly 3700W. This necessitates a number of updates to existing networks, such as more powerful supplies and increased performance output from supporting facilities.
The increasing energy consumption is a legacy of the fast improvement of ICT (Information and Communication Technology). It is also contrary to the current energy conservation and emission reduction con.
Aiming at minimizing the base station (BS) energy consumption under low and medium load scenarios, the 3GPP recently completed a Release 18 study on energy saving techniques for 5G NR BSs . A broad range of techniques was evaluated in terms of the obtained network energy saving (NES) gain and their impact to the user-perceived throughput (UPT).
