Introduction The construction of 5G base stations represents a pivotal step in the evolution of telecommunications infrastructure, ushering in a new era of connectivity and innovation.

This work explores the factors that affect the energy storage reserve capacity of 5G base stations: communication volume of the base station, power consumption of the base station, backup time of the base station, and the power supply reliability of the distribution network nodes.
The denseness and dispersion of 5G base stations make the distance between base station energy storage and power users closer. When the user's load loses power, the relevant energy storage can be quickly controlled to participate in the power supply of the lost load.
The massive growth of 5G base stations in the current power grid will not only increase power consumption, but also bring considerable energy storage resources. However, there are few studies on the feasibility of 5G base station energy storage participating in the emergency restoration of the power grid.
Baseband Unit (BBU): Handles baseband signal processing. Remote Radio Unit (RRU): Converts signals to radio frequencies for transmission. Active Antenna Unit (AAU): Integrates RRU and antenna for 5G-era efficiency. 2. Power Supply System This acts as the “blood supply” of the base station, ensuring uninterrupted power. It includes:
In this regard, the author's next step is to introduce a capacity factor to quantify the usage of base stations in different areas. China's 5G development will still advance rapidly in the future, while the deployment density of 5G base stations will further increase with the rapid development of society.
Comprehensive vulnerability of system nodes. In this paper, we assume that the minimum backup time T0 of the 5G base station is 2 h, which is entered into equation (10) to obtain the backup time of the base station at each node (rounding the result), as shown in Fig. 15.
