(PDF) The business model of 5G base station
Based on the analysis of the feasibility and incremental cost of 5G communication base station energy storage participating in demand
Setting up a 5G base station is expensive, with costs ranging from $100,000 to $200,000 per site. This price includes hardware, installation, site rental, and maintenance. Urban areas often have higher costs due to land prices and infrastructure challenges.
Ye G. Research on reducing energy consumption cost of 5G Base Station based on photovoltaic energy storage system. In: 2021 IEEE International Conference on Computer Science, Electronic Information Engineering and Intelligent Control Technology (CEI), Fuzhou, China, 2021. p. 480-484.
However, due to the utilization of massive antennas and higher frequency bands, the energy consumption of 5G base stations (BSs) is much higher than that of 4G BSs, which incurs huge operation costs and significantly increases carbon emissions under traditional power supply mode .
The annual electricity buying cost of large-scale 5G BSs in Case 1 is 4339.20 (10 3 CNY), accounting for 96.60% of operation cost. Compared with Case 1, the annual operation cost of 5G BSs in Case 2 is reduced by 11.55%. The reason is that 5G BSs are configured with battery energy storage systems to store low-cost electricity.
