Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Base Station Equipment Power = 1200
- Number of Active Sectors = 3
- Power Amplifier Power per Carrier = 450
- Number of Carriers per Sector = 2
- Number of PA Stages per Sector = 1
- Cooling Power Factor = 0.25
- Site Auxiliary Power (lighting, security, backhaul) = 300
Expected Result:
- Total Electrical Power Consumption = 5100
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Total Electrical Power Consumption = 5100 W.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.
Formula / Method
total electrical power consumption = (base station equipment power * number of active sectors) + (power amplifier power per carrier * number of carriers per sector * number of pa stages per sector) + (cooling power factor * base station equipment power) + lighting, security, backhaulFormula family: formula_telecom_cell_site_power_consumption_estimator
