4 FAQs about Power generation of flow battery base stations in French telecommunications base stations

Why does Orange France use base station batteries?

Since 2016, the French telecommunications operator Orange France uses its base stations batteries installed for backup to adjust the power consumption and perform load curtailments through the so-called Block Exchange Notification of demand response mechanism (NEBEF) (RTE, 2020 ).

How do prosumers work in the French energy system?

In the French energy system, i.e., in the first European country to open all its national market structures to all consumers, prosumers can act in daily balance, as a reserve for periods of greater demand such as winter, or as an immediate reserve to use when necessary (RTE, 2020 ).

Why are batteries used in telecommunications networks?

Batteries are classically used as backup in case of power outages in telecommunications networks to keep the services always active. Recently, network operators use the batteries as a demand response lever, so as to reduce the energy costs and to generate revenues in the energy market.

Can a telecommunications operator optimize the use of a battery?

In this work, we study how the telecommunications operator can optimize the use of a battery over a given horizon to reduce energy costs and to perform load curtailments efficiently, as long as the safety usage rules are respected.
