Military communication facilities deploy lithium-based energy storage for secure, reliable operations in challenging environments. By 2025, adoption of lithium battery solutions for communication base stations is expected to accelerate, driven by the need for. . These batteries store energy, support load balancing, and enhance the resilience of communication infrastructure. Understanding how these systems operate is essential for stakeholders aiming to optimize network performance and sustainability. Users can use the energy storage system to discharge during load peak periods and charge from the grid during low load periods, reducing peak load demand and saving electricity. . This work studies the optimization of battery resource configurations to cope with the duration uncertainty of base station interruption. We mainly consider the demand transfer and sleep mechanism of the base station and establish a two-stage stochastic programming model to minimize battery. . Base station energy cabinet: floor-standing, used in communication base stations, smart cities, smart transportation, power systems, edge sites and other scenarios to provide stable power supply and backup and optical wiring. Firstly, the potential ability of energy storage in base station is analyzed from the structure and energy flow.
