35、ical site used to guarantee the coverage of a certain area providing the user accessibility to a radio mobile service. The base station site can be classified in different ways depending on the location: urban or rural and on the technologies present in the site: global system for mobile communicati

36、on (GSM), universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS), etc. A shared site is considered only as a single entity without allocating energy consumption to each operator/service present at the site. The base station site under investigation shall include all the equipment necessary for the full f

37、unctionality of a radio site. Figure 1 Elements of a base station site example Figure 1 shows an example of the equipment present in a base station site and includes telecom equipment and site facility equipment such as rectifiers, power backup, air conditioning and other site housekeeping equipment

38、. The radio base station site as described above includes no local electricity generation. In some cases telecom sites may include local electricity generation: Electrical energy generated at the site by diesel or other types of generators. Locally produced electricity from renewable sources (solar,

39、 wind, etc.). In order to operate the site, electricity has to be provided. The energy needed to operate a telecom site is typically provided in the form of electricity by a utility organization. A site can also be equipped with own electricity generation as shown in Figure 2. 4 Rec. ITU-T L.1350 (1

40、0/2016) Figure 2 Electricity generation for a telecom site The base station site typically includes: base station equipment, backhaul equipment, cooling equipment such as air conditioning units, a rectifier system and renewable energy solutions such as solar, wind energy systems, etc. The metrics de

41、veloped in this Recommendation consider a base station site that normally includes the following types of equipment: Telecommunication equipment. Site equipment (e.g., air conditioners, rectifiers, batteries, safety and monitoring equipment). This equipment can exist as separate items of equipment o

42、r can be integrated into one or more physical units depending on the solution and base station site type, e.g., an indoor or an outdoor site. Power and energy efficiency metrics and measurements for individual site elements of base stations are described in several ITU-T Recommendations, such as ITU

43、-T L.1310 for radio base stations and ITU-T L.1320 for power and cooling equipment. This Recommendation instead describes metrics for base station site energy efficiency in operational states. 7 Energy efficiency metrics for base station sites Energy efficiency has become an important issue for base

44、 station sites, where specific performance metrics, requirements and technologies to improve energy efficiency must be taken into consideration. For site infrastructure, a simple metric used to verify the efficiency of base station site facilities is considered sufficient and has the advantage of be

45、ing relatively simple to calculate as well as allowing remote measurements to be carried out. Renewable energy usage is considered an important factor to reduce the effect of climate change. Consumption of more energy from renewable sources including local or dedicated grid power and the use of fuel

46、s with lower carbon contents are ways to reduce carbon emissions. Electricity from renewable energy sources shall be included in the total energy consumption on site. The site energy efficiency (SEE) metric described in this Recommendation helps mobile network operators (MNOs) to assess important su

47、stainability aspects on cell sites as well as helping them to compare results and determine opportunities to increase energy efficiency or reduce power consumption. Rec. ITU-T L.1350 (10/2016) 5 The total energy consumption of the base station site will include the grid electricity as well as local

48、energy sources such as diesel generators or solar systems. 7.1 Base station site energy efficiency assessment Clause 7.1.1 defines the metric proposed for a base station site energy efficiency assessment. Figure 3 shows a base station site diagram illustrating the energy measurement points considere

49、d in this Recommendation. Figure 3 An example of a radio base station site with energy flow and measurement points Figure 3 does not take into account the fact that the power system is always a separate entity with respect to the telecom equipment, nor does it take into account the following configurations: the AC/DC conversion may be integrated into the telecom part and the air cooling unit may be not present, e.g., for a pole mounted base station site. The battery may be present if power backup
