Why should a 5G base station have a backup battery?

The backup battery of a 5G base station must ensure continuous power supply to it, in the case of a power failure. As the number of 5G base stations, and their power consumption increase significantly compared with that of 4G base stations, the demand for backup batteries increases simultaneously.

Are lithium batteries suitable for a 5G base station?

2) The optimized configuration results of the three types of energy storage batteries showed that since the current tiered-use of lithium batteries for communication base station backup power was not sufficiently mature, a brand- new lithium battery with a longer cycle life and lighter weight was more suitable for the 5G base station.

Can energy storage be reduced in a 5G base station?

Reference proposed a refined configuration scheme for energy storage in a 5G base station, that is, in areas with good electricity supply, where the backup battery configuration could be reduced.

What is the inner goal of a 5G base station?

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.

Can lithium battery technology improve 5G battery life?

For users to enjoy the full potential of 5G technology, longer battery life and better energy storage is essential. So this is what the industry is aiming for. Currently, researchers are looking to lithium battery technology to boost battery life and optimize 5G equipment for user expectations.

How will 5G impact the battery industry?

As 5G continues to expand across the globe, increasing the energy density and extending the lifetime of batteries will be vital. So market competition for problem-solving battery solutions promises to be fierce and drive innovation to meet user expectations. Interested in becoming an IEEE member?
