What are the 5 basic distributed base station architectures?

This application note provides an illustrated overview of the five basic Distributed Base Station architectures in use today: legacy, split design, “hoteling” approach, zero-footprint, and capacity transfer system. The advantages and disadvantages of each approach are outlined.

What is distribution substation design?

Distribution substation design is a combination of reliability and quality of the power supply, safety, economics, maintainability, simplicity of operation, and functionality. Safety of life and preservation of property are the two most important factors in the design of the substation.

What is distributed generation & how does it work?

Recently, distributed generation has started to play a larger role in the distribution system supply. These are small-scale power generation technologies (typically in the range of 3–10,000 kW) used to provide an alternative to or an enhancement of the traditional electric power system.

How are distribution substations connected to a sub-transmission system?

Distribution substations are connected to a sub-transmission system via at least one supply line, which is often called a primary feeder . However, it is typical for a distribution substation to be supplied by two or more supply lines to increase reliability of the power supply in case one supply line is disconnected.

Which systems will become increasingly integrated?

The various systems described here will become increasingly integrated. These include the FDIR and Volt/VAR systems. As the FDIR system reconfigures the distribution system, the Volt/VAR system can then optimize the newly configured feeders.

What is a passive is-integrated base station?

In particular, integrating passive IS into the base station (BS) is a novel solution to enhance the wireless network throughput and coverage, both cost-effectively and energy-efficiently. In this article, we provide an overview of IS-integrated BSs for wireless networks.
