Application Scenarios

Base stations are spread across urban and rural areas; power outages lead to network paralysis, and 5G base station density has significantly increased.

Unit Selection Recommendations

Selection Factors Recommendations

Power Range 10-100 kW

Automation Unattended automatic start-stop, remote monitoring

Noise Urban areas ≤70 dB(A), silent type

Protection Outdoor type, rainproof, dustproof, theft-proof

Fuel Mainly diesel, can pilot methanol/natural gas

New: Integration of energy saving and new energy

Photovoltaic + energy storage + diesel solutions to reduce diesel generator run time and lower operational costs

Pilot fuel cells in communication base stations to solve high noise and emission issues

Installation Key Points

Use silent boxes for urban base stations; add anti-theft bases and monitoring for remote base stations

Fuel tank capacity should support 8-12 hours of full load operation

Interface with operation environment monitoring to enable remote start-stop and status alerts

Possible Problems

Problem Cause Solution

Cannot start automatically Controller failure Dual-controller redundancy, remote inspection

Fuel theft Unattended operation Anti-theft fuel tank cover + level alarm + monitoring

Battery discharge Long-term inactivity Solar float charging, replace with lithium battery

Low temperature start difficulty Extreme cold Engine block heater, low-grade diesel

High maintenance cost Large number of base stations, high staffing cost Use remote start testing, maintenance on demand, promote hybrid solutions
