The operation of cellular network infrastructure incurs significant electrical energy consumption. From the perspective of cellular network operators, reducing this consumption is not only a matter of showing environmental responsibility, but also of substantially reducing their operational expenditure. We discuss how dynamic operation of cellular base stations, in which redundant base stations are switched off during periods of low traffic such as at night, can provide significant energy savings. We quantitatively estimate these potential savings through a first-order analysis based on real cellular traffic traces and information regarding base station locations in a part of Manchester, United Kingdom. We also discuss a number of open issues pertinent to implementing such energy-efficient dynamic base station operation schemes, such as various approaches to ensure coverage, and interoperator coordination.

Risk-Based Virtual Energy Storage System Service Strategy for Prosumers

Eunsung Oh

Summary: This paper presents a risk-based virtual ESS (VESS) service strategy, which reduces the cost barrier of using an energy storage system by installing a larger capacity ESS through logically referring to a physical ESS by multiple users. The VESS service considers both economic benefits and risk values, and optimally solves the problem using the gradient descent method in an iterative manner.
