Abstract

The Information and Communication Technology sector consumes approximately 3% of the world’s electrical energy due to the exploding demand for internet service. The most energy-intensive part of cellular communications is the base station, which there are about four million of them deployed globally. As Fifth Generation (5G) wireless networks are introduced, the number of base stations will be growing in parallel with the data traffic which in turn will increase the energy consumption of  the base station to cater for the growing capacity. The high-power consumption and dynamic traffic demand overburden the base station and consequently reduce energy efficiency. In this paper, an energy-efficient hybrid power supply system for a 5G macro base station is proposed. It is analysed that with the solar energy working in conjunction with the conventional supply from the grid, the reduction of poor power quality is observed as the fluctuation of the demand is greatly decreased. The proposed model showed a reduction in the average grid power by 14.9%. Furthermore, the power supply showed peak power shaving of 5kW; thus, reducing the reliance on the grid as well as increased the energy-efficient of this hybrid power supply system.

Abstract

Bangladesh’s economic development is largely dependent on the power sector, which promotes sustainability and growth. The country’s future energy security, however, is seriously threatened by the natural gas reserves running out by 2028. As a result, the current energy mix has to be modified right away to ensure Bangladesh’s sustained economic growth. This research paper offers a thorough analysis of Bangladesh’s power sector’s current state. With a focus on important metrics like installed capacity, electricity generation, and distribution infrastructure, the study seeks to provide insights into the sector’s opportunities, challenges, and strengths. The research highlighting the importance of energy security and forecasting the projected energy demand in Bangladesh. The study also looks at current projects and advancements that have shaped Bangladesh’s power industry. This research also provides an ideal energy option that supports Bangladesh's sustainable growth. This analysis offers significant insights into the dynamics of the power industry in Bangladesh, elucidating it is present trajectory, the challenges it encounters, and the potential avenues for achieving a more sustainable and resilient energy future.
