MoRTEC (Monitoring Real Time Electricity Consumption)

所提出的解决方案-包括一种工具和一种服务-解决了环境可持续性问题，以及如何以这种方式改造无线网络基础设施，以便：\* 实现净零和相关的可持续性目标\* 通过提高电网对干扰的弹性来使电网运营受益，并\* 为无线基础设施提供商提供额外的收入机会。这些目标可以通过在基站使用智能计量设备以及电池等电力存储设备来实现。基站站点的这一新增设备将提供实时电力消耗、数据监测和分析。当价格较低时，系统将在电池中存储能量，并且在基站消耗大部分功率的高峰业务需求时间利用该存储的能量。这降低了无线基础设施运营商和提供商的能源成本。如果电力消耗激增，该系统还将把存储的能量输出到电网，从而充当虚拟发电厂，以保持电网的弹性。该系统还为无线基础设施业主提供了额外的收入机会。该项目开发的解决方案是一种软件工具，将用于为无线运营商和基础设施提供商（例如，铁塔公司、中立主机和移动的网络运营商）提供实施能源监测和存储系统的最佳选址建议。选择基于网络流量需求、位置、环境条件以及与能源监测和存储系统的供应和运营相关的成本等因素。该项目的创新是由下一代移动的网络贸易协会对6 G系统的未来需求和相关的净零需求以及更智能的小区站点需求驱动的

The proposed solution - which comprises a tool and a service - addresses environmental sustainability and how wireless network infrastructure can be transformed in such a way so as to:\*achieve Net Zero and relevant sustainability targets\*benefit power grid operations by improving its resilience to disturbances, and\*offer additional revenue opportunities to wireless infrastructure providersThese goals can be realised through the use of smart-metering equipment at base stations, accompanied by electricity storage equipment, such as batteries. This additional equipment at the base station sites will provide real-time electricity consumption, data monitoring and analysis. The system will store energy in the batteries when prices are low and make use of this stored energy at peak traffic demand times when base stations consume most power. This reduces energy costs for the wireless infrastructure operators and providers. The system will also export stored energy back to the grid, if there is a surge in electricity consumption, thereby acting as a virtual power plant to maintain grid resilience. This system also offers additional revenue opportunities for the wireless infrastructure owners.The solution developed in this project is a software tool that will be used to advise wireless operators and infrastructure providers (e.g. Tower companies, neutral hosts and mobile network operators) the optimal site selection for implementing the energy monitoring and storage system. The selection is based on factors including network traffic demand, location, environmental conditions and the costs associated with supply and operation of the energy monitoring and storage system.The innovation in this project is driven from future requirements looking towards 6G systems and associated net zero requirements and more intelligent cell site requirements coming from the Next Generation Mobile Networks trade association
