1. Worldwide achieve energy digitalization.
With the appearance of 5G, the number of sites increased sharply, and Operations and Maintenance(O&M) turned more complex. The rising operating expenses (OPEX) will consume operators' profits. Energy digitalization is essential to simplifying O&M and decreasing site O&M costs. Due to digital sensing, control, and processing technologies, it is approximated that 90% of sites globally will possess digitalized energy by 2025, making it likely for operators to build simplified, green, and autonomous driving networks.
2. Increasing the Adoption of Green Energy
Adopting green energy encourages energy saving and emission reduction for the industry's sustainable development.
To cope with climate change and accomplish the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, many global operators have accepted strategies for saving fuel, lower maintenance, zero diesel generators across the whole network, lower carbon emissions, and sustainable development.
Considering this, the investment in green energy has constantly been increasing. In addition, new technologies such as PV, wind energy, hydrogen fuel cells, and lithium batteries are maturing. Although such technologies require a relatively high initial investment, they are gradually becoming favored by operators for their benefits, like environmental friendliness, low carbon emissions, maintenance-free, and low electricity costs.
3. A 5G rollout will engulf various industries with telecom energy
Various enterprise-level scenarios need flexible power supply solutions.
5G will bring base station devices to different enterprise-level applications, such as ports, mining areas, electric power, transportation, colleges, hospitals, and communities. In addition, various application scenarios require more flexible and diversified telecom energy solutions, which drive telecom energy toward being digital, modular, and flexible.
4. AI Collaboration
NE and AI collaborated modeling accomplishes optimal TCO for energy networks.
The rise in 5G sites and power consumption causes high O&M and energy costs, hindering the rapid popularization of 5G. AI collaboration technology will be critical to solving this problem. Using AI collaboration technology in telecom energy incorporates AI algorithm modeling to maximize site resource configuration for sliced networks and better energy efficiency and AI analysis to implement autonomous driving networks.
5. Full-Stack Simplified
In the coming days, connections will be ubiquitous, more and more spectrums will be brought into use, and sites will be more densely built. In the 5G era, energy systems from sites to bearer networks and core networks will become increasingly large and complex, needing simplified deployment and TCO control.
In the coming days, simplified end-to-end and full-lifecycle energy network technologies will be widely applied, such as one cabinet for one site, one blade power for one site, and autonomous driving networks. This will improve site deployment and capacity expansion efficiency, simplify energy O&M, and achieve more simplified energy networks.
