Base station equipment wind power supply structure

How do base stations use energy?

Since base stations are major consumers of cellular networks energy with significant contribution to operational expenditures, powering base stations sites using the energy of wind, sun, fuel cells or a combination gain mobile operators’ attention.

How do we reduce wind load in base station antennas?

To reduce wind load in base station antenna designs, the key is to delay flow separation and reduce wake. This equation can be simplified, as only the third term on each side is related to pressure drag. Furthermore, force is related to pressure: How do we reduce wind load for base station antennas?

Are Andrew's base station antennas aerodynamic?

Andrew’s re-designed base station antennas are crafted to be exceptionally aerodynamic, minimizing the overall wind load imposed on a cellular tower or similar structures. Wind load is the force generated by wind on the exterior surfaces of an object.

Which wind direction should be considered in a base station antenna?

In aerospace and automotive industries, only unidirectional wind in the frontal direction is of concern. In the world of base station antennas, wind direction is unpredictable. Therefore, we must consider 360 degrees of wind load. Wind force on an object is complex, with drag force being the key component.

How does wind direction affect base station antennas?

In the world of base station antennas, wind direction is unpredictable. Therefore, we must consider 360 degrees of wind load. Wind force on an object is complex, with drag force being the key component. Drag can be pressure drag, friction drag and/or vortex drag. Pressure drag is usually the most dominant force.

What are the components of wind force?

Wind force on an object is complex, with drag force being the key component. Drag can be pressure drag, friction drag and/or vortex drag. Pressure drag is usually the most dominant force. Pressure drag is created when the air pressure against the leading side of the object is higher than the trailing side.
