Powering 5G Base Stations with Wind and Solar Energy Storage:
This article explores the integration of wind and solar energy storage systems with 5G base stations, offering cost-effective and eco-friendly alternatives to traditional power sources.
To properly examine an energy-optimised network, it is very crucial to select the most suitable EE metric for 5G networks. EE is the ratio of transmitted bits for every joule of energy expended. Therefore, while measuring it, different perspectives need to be considered such as from the network or user's point of view.
Notably, China, Korea, and the US are vigorously engaged in this field, specifically related to the 5G network. This review paper identifies the possible potential solutions for reducing the energy consumption of the networks and discusses the challenges so that more accurate and valid measures could be designed for future research.
The use of such technology is motivated by the prospect of higher data rates and improved performance over the existing networks [2, 3]. 5G cellular network operates on a millimetre wave spectrum i.e., between 28GHz-60GHz along with LTE.
Cellular base stations powered by renewable energy sources such as solar power have emerged as one of the promising solutions to these issues. This article presents an overview of the stateof- the-art in the design and deployment of solar powered cellular base stations.
