5G macro base station power supply design strategy and
“In terms of primary power supply, we see a very obvious trend of requiring high efficiency and high power density. Now the efficiency of power supply should reach 97%, or
The development of 5G networks brings new challenges for powering base stations. MPS has developed a powerful new power supply solution for 5G telecom applications that ensures stable and efficient power delivery, accurate current sensing, and highly efficient power factor correction to maintain a stable output voltage amid large load variations.
During main power failures, the energy storage device provides emergency power for the communication equipment. A set of 5G base station main communication equipment is generally composed of a baseband BBU unit and multiple RF AAU units. Equation 1 serves as the base station load model:
AAU is the most energy-consuming equipment in 5G base stations, accounting for up to 90% of their total energy consumption. Auxiliary equipment includes power supply equipment, monitoring and lighting equipment. The power supply equipment manages the distribution and conversion of electrical energy among equipment within the 5G base station.
In the 5G technology framework, the 5G base station comprises macro and micro variants. The micro base station serves indoor blind spots with minimal power consumption. The macro base station exhibits greater potential for demand response. This section primarily analyzes the current mainstream commercial 5G macro base stations.
