Are green cellular base stations sustainable?

This study presents an overview of sustainable and green cellular base stations (BSs), which account for most of the energy consumed in cellular networks. We review the architecture of the BS and the power consumption model, and then summarize the trends in green cellular network research over the past decade.

How do cellular network operators shift to green practices?

Cellular network operators attempt to shift toward green practices using two main approaches. The first approach uses energy-efficient hardware to reduce the energy consumption of BSs at the equipment level and adopts economic power sources to feed these stations.

Can DG power a GSM cellular network in Greece?

Kaldellis et al. [ 134] designed a solar-powered system with DG as a backup power source for a GSM cellular network in Greece. The proposed system can effectively address the lack of energy in remote BSs in Greece given its high reliability and low maintenance requirements in considering the tilt angle of optimum PV panels.

Are solar PV systems feasible in grid-connected BS sites?

A feasibility study conducted on a solar PV system in grid-connected BS sites was presented in [ 116 ]. To achieve the most economically feasible configuration, BSs in Bangladesh must have 2.5 kW PV and sixteen batteries in two parallel strings, as well as two 4 kW DGs with an energy cost of $ 1.657/kWh.
