Impact Assessment of an Intensive Base Demand Side Management Program for Telecommunication Load with Energy Storage Device in a Test Grid System Based on Bangladesh Perspective

Abstract

Power consumption by telecommunication industrial loads is increasing day by day as the user of this technology is on the rise. Telecommunication base station towers are consuming twice or more energy than in the past for the implementation of high-capacity devices to serve more users. As a result, there is an extra power requirement for the telecommunication loads which can cause an inadequate power supply and lead to the implementation of additional infrastructure in the power industry. Powering these resources will demand more energy production and introduce various types of new problems in the grid network. The impact analysis of the effect of this extra demand in a regular network system has great interest. Also, most of the base stations are equipped with a backup battery as an essential need in third-world country grids and contribute a portion of the load demand of a power distribution system. All telecommunication industrial towers are considered under industrial load and have a special industrial tariff imposed by the power supply authority. This paper utilizes the optimal power flow method to calculate a proposed schedule base demand-side management system adopted to shift the pattern of charging batteries along with temperature control loads in the telecommunication towers and outlines an analytical study on a test power grid network. To determine the best electricity flow, generation, and locational marginal prices for each hour, an algorithm is created. Following careful evaluation of the appliance status, the constraint and condition are then applied to the load curve. This study indicates there is energy-saving and both supplier and consumer sides can minimize the operation cost.This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium provided the original work is properly cited.
