1. A method of a base station scheduling device of controlling power supply units of a base station, the method comprising:
acquiring information indicating a value of voltage input to at least one of the power supply units of the base station;
determining, from the value, if the voltage input to the at least one of the power supply units is sufficient;
in response to determining that the voltage input to the at least one of the power supply units is not sufficient:
determining power demand of the base station; and
deactivating the at least one power supply unit if remaining power supply units are capable of supplying the demanded power.
