Reducing Running Cost of Radio Base Station with Electrical Batteries

Abstract

Abstract Ericsson, a leading global telecom equipment manufacturer, is addressing the increasing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of Radio Base Stations (RBS) by developing a dynamic battery management system. This research leverages historical electricity price data and advanced optimization algorithms, such as Dijkstra's, to minimize energy consumption and costs. By strategically utilizing batteries as a continuous energy storage solution, the system reduces reliance on the grid during peak pricing periods, enhancing both cost-effectiveness and environmental sustainability. This approach contributes to the industry's goal of building more efficient telecommunication networks.
