This work studies the optimization of battery resource configurations to cope with the duration uncertainty of base station interruption. . With the relentless global expansion of 5G networks and the increasing demand for data, communication base stations face unprecedented challenges in ensuring uninterrupted power supply and managing operational costs. We mainly consider the demand transfer and sleep mechanism of the base station and establish a two-stage stochastic programming model to minimize battery. . A base station (or BTS, Base Transceiver Station) typically includes: Base station energy storage refers to batteries and supporting hardware that power the BTS when grid power is unavailable or to smooth out intermittent renewable sources like solar. They're sort of like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut—expensive to maintain and environmentally. . In this article, we explore the application of BMS in telecom base backup batteries, examining its critical role, key features, challenges, and future trends in the industry.
