Abstract: In this study, an analysis of the current status and available outages of the mobile communication base station power supply system was performed. . The results showed that the use of supercapacitors as a primary energy source reduced the delay time in load supply by 10 times, the response time in emergency situations decreased by 20–30%, and the overall efficiency of the base station increased by 1–1. The effects of these outages on the power supply system have been studied and it has been shown that batteries may not be an ideal solution as. . Does a supercapacitor pack need a management system? Therefore, the supercapacitor pack will require a management system to effectively monitor, control, and protect the cells along all performance boundaries.
