Retrofit Plan for Existing Base Stations

Highjoule 2025-11-27

For existing communication base stations (especially tower equipment rooms/outdoor cabinet sites), achieve zero-investment upgrades to backup power capacity and energy savings through “photovoltaic + energy storage” solutions.

  1. Addressing pain points
    • Lead-acid batteries offer limited backup time (only 2–3 hours)
    • High battery replacement costs (approx. ¥4,000 per site annually)
    • Lack of environmental monitoring leads to shortened battery life due to air conditioning failures
    • Inadequate for planned outages (>3 hours)
  1. Solutions Classification

(1)DC Energy Storage Solutions

  • Features:Direct connection to the 48V busbar, no modification to the original power supply system required.
  • Advantages:
  • Simple retrofitting, low cost
  • Pure DC-DC conversion, high efficiency (>96%)
  • Reserved PV interface for future expansion
  • Supports peak shaving and valley filling (charging during off-peak hours, discharging during peak/spike hours)

(2)AC Energy Storage Solutions

  • Core Equipment: Power Conversion System (PCS)
  • Model: EPCS15 / EPCS30 (15kW / 30kW)
  • Supports wide voltage input range of 150–750V, compatible with 280Ah large-capacity battery cells
  • Built-in lightweight Energy Management System (EMS) supporting microgrid, self-generation and self-consumption modes, and more
    • Applicable scenarios:Sites requiring simultaneous coverage of AC loads (e.g., air conditioning)
    • Advantages:Greater energy storage capacity, higher peak-to-off-peak arbitrage profits

Retrofit Plan for Existing Base Stations

  1. Battery Selection (Existing Stations)
  • Semi-solid lithium battery (280Ah)
  • Energy density ≥165Wh/kg
  • Cycle life up to 26,000 cycles (0.5C, 100% DOD)
  • High safety (solid-liquid hybrid electrolyte, low fire/explosion risk)
    • Standard Lithium Battery (100Ah/200Ah)
  • Modular design, scalable up to 50kWh in parallel
  1. Business Model Highlights
    • Zero Investment for Operators: Battery investment, operation & maintenance, and disposal costs are covered by the partner
    • Electricity Cost Sharing: Enjoy approximately 3% discount on electricity rates
    • Extended Backup Power Duration: Increased from 2–3 hours to up to 7 hours
    • Data Access: Free provision of environmental and electricity consumption data interfaces

Safety Assurance System (Energy Storage Products)

  • Multi-level battery cell safety monitoring
  • High-efficiency thermal insulation + pressure relief valve + compartmentalized design
  • Intelligent fire suppression (perfluorohexane targeted extinguishing)
  • Liquid cooling thermal management (precise temperature differential control)
  • End-to-end fire detection monitoring

Typical Application Scenario Solutions

Scenario 1: Grid Power + Backup Power Storage

  • Components: Mains power + Battery + FSU monitoring
  • Function: Supplies power during mains operation; provides short-term backup power during mains outages
  • Applications: Urban base stations, areas with stable power grids

Scenario 2: Grid Power + Energy Storage + Diesel Generator

  • Components: Mains power + Battery + Diesel generator + FSU
  • Logic: Mains power → Battery → Diesel generator (three-tier protection)
  • Application: Remote areas with mains power but occasional outages

Scenario 3: PV + Grid Power + Energy Storage + Diesel Generator (Full Hybrid)

  • Energy Priority: PV > Grid Power > Battery > Diesel Generator
  • Components: Rectifier Power Supply + PV Power Cabinet + Battery + Diesel Generator + FSU
  • Suitable For: Areas without stable grid power and with ample sunlight (e.g., plateaus, islands)

Retrofit Plan for Existing Base Stations

Scenario 4: Photovoltaic + Energy Storage + Diesel Generator (Off-Grid Type)

  • No grid connection; fully reliant on renewable energy + diesel generator backup
  • Priority: Solar > Battery > Diesel generator (DC)
  • Applicable for: Fully off-grid communication sites
