Abstract
The number of telecommunication base stations is increasing all over the world due to an ever increasing communication demand. As a result, energy savings play an important role in our future and sustainable network architecture. In a typical base station, electronics cooling normally accounts for 25-50% of the total energy consumption, traditionally provided by air conditioning systems. The service life of air conditioning systems can be considerably reduced by applying energy-efficient free cooling systems to the cooling setup. For an indoor temperature set point of 25 °C, free cooling can cover 16-93% of the total cooling demand depending on the location of the base stations. When adjusting to a higher indoor temperature set point, the savings will increase accordingly.
