Green Base Station Using Robust Solar System and High Performance Lithium ion battery for Next Generation Wireless Network (5G) and against Mega Disaster

To secure wireless communication services, we are researching and developing disaster-resistant and environmentally friendly green base stations. One effective disaster countermeasure in carriers is to make backup time long for base stations during a power outage. Therefore, we have developed a photovoltaics (PV) system for green base stations to prolong the backup. In this paper, we propose a power control method that realizes long-term autonomous operation by PV and lithium-ion batteries (LiB) and regeneration operation by only PV for when commercial power is lost during a power outage and describe the results obtained at field test station.
