SUMMARY:Talk by a member of LINCS Scientific Committee "On the Use of Small
 Solar Panels and Small Batteries to Reduce the RAN Carbon Footprint"
DESCRIPTION:The limited power requirements of new generations of base
 stations make the use of renewable energy sources\, solar in particular\,
 extremely attractive for mobile network operators. Exploiting solar energy
 implies a reduction of the network operation cost as well as of the carbon
 footprint of radio access networks. However\, previous research works
 indicate that the area of the solar panels that are necessary to power a
 standard macro base station (BS) is large\, making the solar panel
 deployment problematic\, especially within urban areas. In this paper we
 use a modeling approach based on Markov reward processes to investigate the
 possibility of combining a connection to the power grid with small area
 solar panels and small batteries to run a macro base station. By so doing\,
 it is possible to exploit a significant fraction of renewable energy to run
 a radio access network\, while also reducing the cost incurred by the
 network operator to power its base stations. We assume that energy is drawn
 from the power grid only when needed to keep the BS operational\, or during
 the night\, which corresponds to the period with lowest electricity price.
 The proposed energy management policies have advantages in terms of both
 cost and carbon footprint. Our results show that solar panels of the order
 of 1-2 kW peak\, i.e.\, with a surface of about 5-10 square meters\,
 combined with limited capacity energy storage (of the order of 1-5 kWh\,
 corresponding to about 1-2 car batteries) and a smart energy management
 policy\, can lead to an effective exploitation of renewable
 energy.\nBio&nbsp\; &nbsp\;\nMarco Ajmone Marsan is full professor at the
