摘要

隨著政府推行環境（environmental）、社會（social）和治理（governance）的ESG政策，電信業者採用綠色無線接取網路（radio access network，RAN）的發展逐漸成為未來趨勢。因本地微電網通常位於基站現場，以作為直接的電力供應來源，故在RAN架構集中化及節能5G設備漸趨成熟下，開發以再生能源為主要電力來源的RAN變得更加可行。在本文中，我們分析總結出可供電信運營商參考之淨零策略，並提出一個RAN及微電網的整合概念架構，用以融合RAN端之智能控制器（RAN intelligent controller，RIC）及電網端之能源管理系統（energy management system，EMS），使基站、電網兩端之行為可透過智慧技術相互控制，並依電信業者之營運策略進行優化。

With governments increasingly implementing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) policies, developing environmentally friendly Radio Access Networks (RANs) has emerged as a significant future trend in the telecommunications industry. Given that local microgrids are often situated at base station sites and serve as direct power sources, adopting RANs powered primarily by renewable energy sources becomes increasingly viable as RAN architecture becomes more centralized and energy-efficient 5G equipment matures. In this paper, we present an analysis of a net-zero strategy that can serve as a reference for telecommunications operators. Additionally, we introduce a conceptual framework for integrating RANs and microgrids. This framework aims to seamlessly merge RAN intelligent controllers (RIC) on the RAN side with energy management systems (EMS) on the grid side. Through this integration, the behavior of both base stations and the grid can be mutually controlled using advanced technology, all while optimizing operations in alignment with the telecommunications operator's strategic objectives.
