Method and system for aggregating power outage data and utilization

A computer program product tangibly embodied in a computer-readable storage device and comprising a set of instructions that when executed by a processor perform a method for an operational mode of a base station when a power interrupt or power loss is detected, the method comprising:

• communicating with an API tool to receive a plurality of data sets using an open API format about metrics of various operating distributed power sources;
• monitoring power usage at a cell site and to generate a series of data sets about the power usage at the cell site;
• correlating the plurality of data sets of the various operated distributed power sources with the series of data sets of power usage at the cell site;
• forecasting a frequency and a duration of a power outage at the cell site based on metrics of correlated data of the data sets of the various operated distributed power sources and the series of data sets about power usage at the cell site;
• and
• configuring a backup power supply with a capacity at the cell site based on the metrics derived from the correlated data wherein the capacity backup power supply is determined in accordance with the frequency and the duration of the power outage at the cell site.

A method executed by a network power management system having a processor, memory, and input/output interfaces, wherein the processor is configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to manage backup battery life, the method comprising:

• implementing the operational mode of a radio receiver of a cell or base station by an automated workflow in response to aggregated data of a network;
• communicating with an API tool to receive a plurality of data sets using an open API format about metrics of various operating distributed power sources;
• monitoring power usage at a cell site and to generate a series of data sets about the power usage at the cell site;
• correlating the plurality of data sets of the various operated distributed power sources with the series of data sets of power usage at the cell site;
• forecasting a frequency and a duration of a power outage at the cell site based on metrics of correlated data of the data sets of the various operated distributed power sources and the series of data sets about power usage at the cell site;
• and
• configuring a backup power supply with a capacity at the cell site based on the metrics derived from the correlated data wherein the capacity backup power supply is determined in accordance the frequency and the duration of the power outage at the cell site.
• activating the automated workflow in response to aggregated power data indicative of a power loss to a network, cell site, and base station to crop input power to at least a radio receiver of the cell site and base station;
