Ericsson | The 5G site of the future Site energy management and optimization

Ericsson | The 5G site of the future How to become more energy efficient 5G services have now been launched and are providing faster connectivity and new capabilities to enterprises and users worldwide. The shift that 5G promises must be sustainable from an energy and business perspective. It will be achieved by solutions allowing service providers to effectively and intelligently manage the energy consumed at their sites – and, increasingly, the renewable energy generated there. The telecommunication sector can do more to reduce its environmental impact and has a significant role in addressing...

3 Ericsson | The 5G site of the future The Ericsson Network Manager gives connectivity service providers total visibility and control of their core, transport, radio, and hybrid power management, including renewables. It is a fully integrated system that provides a clear picture of the network's capabilities, capacity and performance, as well as its individual sites—while seamlessly managing the energy supply via the same familiar interface. True network resilience against spikes in energy prices is created by basic peak energy control and peak load shifting. With these approaches to dynamically...

Ericsson | The 5G site of the future Energy-efficient hardware A major share of the total energy reduction will be achieved with efficient, convection cooling equipment. Ericsson’s Zero-Footprint hardware and ERS enclosure sites will take up less space compared to inhouse sheltered sites. The equipment will be housed in energy-optimized cabinets or rail mounted instead of traditional shelters or equipment rooms. Heat exchangers, liquid cooling or air-based convection cooling built into the equipment will remove the need for energy-intensive air conditioning units, streamlining and simplifying...

5 Ericsson | The 5G site of the future 5 Ericsson | The 5G site of the future Intelligent energy management optimizes supply and demand this mobile site. Smart use of batteries in cell sites Li-ion batteries installed at smart connected sites can be charged when electricity prices are at their lowest or when renewable energy production is at its highest. When compared to traditional lead acid batteries, li-ion batteries have a 10% higher charging efficiency and a 20 times longer life cycle, and when using connected batteries, it's possible for providers to monitor battery health and charge levels...

Ericsson | The 5G site of the future Ericsson’s energy generation and hybrid management offering The Ericsson Smart Connected Site solution offers an intelligent and unified way to digitalize the site, enabling remote control and monitoring of all site equipment. Visualizations on network, site and cabinet levels can be provided to customers and are accessible from the NOC or field devices. The Smart Connected Site combines various measurements and alarms from passive infrastructure with the active (radio, baseband and transport) data into a unified management tool: the Ericsson Network Manager...

Ericsson | The 5G site of the future Intelligent – Smart Connected Site The combination of RAN and site-collected data enables unprecedented opportunities through industry-leading automation techniques. Real-time control of assets, intelligent actionable insights, smart energy management and predictive data control significantly improve efficiency and reduce costs. Machine learning applications and automation software use input from on-site sensors in energy saving and control features like peak energy control, battery health and policy management. Additionally, predictive control features can...

8 Ericsson | The 5G site of the future Precision — climate control Smart locking system Smart connected batteries Smart distribution: DC up conversion/AC inverter secure access to Ericsson Network Manager Interface for sensors and surveillance equipment With the Smart Connected Site solution, data is collected across the site to give the service provider a unified overview of its current performance. When this information is gathered in the Ericsson Network Manager, together with feeds from on-site cameras and environmental sensors, the service provider gets complete insights into the situation...

9 Ericsson | The 5G site of the future 9 Ericsson | The 5G site of the future AI, policy-based energy management and smart connected sites give the service provider full control remotely via a single platform. Once site energy management is established, the next step is to aggregate several sites in a cluster. The Site Energy Orchestration solution uses AI to calculate the cluster's capabilities and depending on the level of deregulation in the specific market, select which energy ancillary services to address and decide how to combine them with other OPEX reduction features. The Site Energy...
