Overall, 5G communication base stations’ energy consumption comprises static and dynamic power consumption . Among them, static power consumption pertains to the reduction in energy required in 5G communication base stations that remains constant regardless of service load or output transmission power.
In recent years, many models for base station power con-sumption have been proposed in the literature. The work in proposed a widely used power consumption model, which explicitly shows the linear relationship between the power transmitted by the BS and its consumed power.
To address the issue of power-intensive base stations, proposed a combined approach involving base station sleep and spectrum allocation. This approach aims to discover the most efficient operating state and spectrum allocation for SBS to minimize power consumption and network disturbance.
In this paper, a distributed collaborative optimization approach is proposed for power distribution and communication networks with 5G base stations. Firstly, the model of 5G base stations considering communication load demand migration and energy storage dynamic backup is established.
Afterward, a collaborative optimal operation model of power distribution and communication networks is designed to fully explore the operation flexibility of 5G base stations, and then an improved distributed algorithm based on the ADMM is developed to achieve the collaborative optimization equilibrium.
Analogous to traditional distribution networks, the operation of distribution systems incorporating 5G communication base stations must adhere to active and reactive power flow constraints.
