Why do cellular base stations have backup batteries?Abstract: Cellular base stations (BSs) are equipped with backup batteries to obtain the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and maintain the power supply reliability. While maintaining the reliability, the backup batteries of 5G BSs have some spare capacity over time due to the traffic-sensitive characteristic of 5G BS electricity load.
Why do we need a 5G base station?The limited penetration capability of millimeter waves necessitates the deployment of significantly more 5G base stations (the next generation Node B, gNB) than their 4G counterparts to ensure network coverage . Notably, the power consumption of a gNB is very high, up to 3–4 times of the power consumption of a 4G base stations (BSs).
Can backup batteries reduce 5G BS electricity bills?Case studies show that the proposed methodology can effectively evaluate the dispatchable capacity and that dispatching the backup batteries can reduce 5G BS electricity bills while satisfying the reliability requirement.

Do 5G BS batteries have a spare capacity?While maintaining the reliability, the backup batteries of 5G BSs have some spare capacity over time due to the traffic-sensitive characteristic of 5G BS electricity load. Therefore, the spare capacity is dispatchable and can be used as flexibility resources for power systems.
