Abstract

In this paper, we investigate energy management strategies for a small cell base station powered by local renewable energy, local storage, and the smart grid to simultaneously minimize electricity expenditures of the mobile network operators and enhance the life span of the storage device. Simulation results in different cases show that important cost reductions can be achieved by properly using the battery.

The research leading to these results has received funding from the French Agence Nationale de la Recherche in the framework of the SOGREEN project (ANR-14-CE29-0025-01).
