Meanwhile, communication base stations often configure battery energy storage as a backup power source to maintain the normal operation of communication equipment [3, 4]. Given the rapid proliferation of 5G base stations in recent years, the significance of communication energy storage has grown exponentially [5, 6].
The construction of new power energy storage equipment undoubtedly increases the economic strain on the power system [1, 2]. Meanwhile, communication base stations often configure battery energy storage as a backup power source to maintain the normal operation of communication equipment [3, 4].
The charging and discharging capacity of the battery pack in the base station energy storage system can be described as Equation (10): and are the current charging power and discharging power of the battery, respectively, and is an operating cycle.
The battery pack in the energy storage section has the capacity to absorb energy as a load, thereby increasing the power consumption of the grid during the trough period. It can also release energy to reduce the overall power consumption of the base station, thus balancing the high load of the grid during the peak period.
VRLA batteries use absorbed glass mat (AGM) technology for spill-proof operation, while lithium- ion variants offer higher energy density. They maintain voltage stability through rectifiers and DC plants, enabling base stations to function for 4-48 hours during blackouts. .
