Standardisation for Smart Devices
This report highlights the most relevant standards in areas such as measurement of energy consumption of smart devices, and communication protocols for smart devices.
Interoperability
The objective of this study is to gain a better understanding on the issue of (a lack of) device interoperability and the resultant impact of this on Intelligent Efficiency and Demand Flexibility.
Energy Efficiency Metrics for Data Centres
This study explores the existing metrics for data centre efficiency, and identifies which metric(s) might be suited for use by policy makers.
Are We Getting the Best Out of Smart Home Technologies? The Role of Usability
This joint report with the Users TCP investigates ‘usability’ issues associated with energy smart digital devices.
Data Centre and Server ‘Idle Coefficients’
This report presents information on novel data centre KPIs: the Server Idle coefficient and the Data Centre Idle Coefficient.
Small Network Equipment: Considerations for Energy Efficiency Policy
This report provides an overview of small network equipment (e.g. routers and modems), investigates options for policies and estimates the potential for energy savings.
Retrofitting Connectivity for Energy Benefits
This report examines the retrofit solutions on the market today to identify those that could be leveraged to achieve energy benefits in otherwise unconnected residential products.
Harnessing IoT for Energy Benefits
This report examines the landscape of residential IoT products and the functions within those products that can be leveraged to yield energy benefits.
Total Energy Model V2.0 for Connected Devices
This report describes updates to the Total Energy Model that was developed by EDNA to estimate the ‘total energy use’ of connected devices, globally.
Roadmap for Consumer Devices to Participate in Demand Flexibility
The purpose of this report is to provide technical assistance and policy guidance to support national or regional government organisations, utilities, and/or energy regulatory bodies in
Energy Applications within IoT and Digitalisation Strategies
The purpose of this report is to provide guiding principles to policy makers for developing and implementing national/regional digitalisation and IoT strategies that emphasise energy
Policy Guidance for Smart, Energy-Saving Consumer Devices
This report provides considerations for policy makers to encourage ‘smart’ consumer devices which save energy and provide demand flexibility. It includes key findings for the prioritisation of consumer devices and policy recommendations.
Test Procedures for Measuring Network Standby Power
This paper examines elements of existing test procedures that address network standby in some way. This includes horizontal test procedures that cover standby and network standby for a wide range of products, as well as product-specific procedures where network functionality is a common or essential feature of the product
Global Forecast of Energy Use for Wireless Charging
In this report, we have built on the modeling methodology published in a recent white paper by Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and Suzanne Foster Porter of Kannah Consulting
Bridging the Network Standby Gap between Mobile and Mains-Powered Products
An integrated, energy-optimal design approach, in which disparate engineering teams collaborate iteratively toward energy optimization goals (including low network standby energy use), is currently the
Getting to Zero: An Evaluation of Zero Network Standby Power
This report examines the feasibility and economics of achieving network zero in three different products: mini-split HVAC systems, smart speakers, and connected light bulbs. We investigate the range of network standby
Total Energy Model for Connected Devices
The objective of this study is to develop a quantitative model of the “total energy use” of connected devices, globally. This report (and model) aims to quantify the total additional energy that results from devices becoming connected to a communications network
Intelligent Efficiency for Data Centres and Wide Area Networks
This report discusses the energy consumption of data centres (DC) and the wide area network (WAN) which connects computers and other devices together on the internet. These are complex
Energy Harvesting Technologies for IoT Edge Devices
This report discusses the elements of an energy harvesting system, and the possible energy sources and quantities of energy which can be harvested from light, thermal energy, radio frequency
Network Standby Power Basics (revised April 2018)
This report incorporates and organizes our collective understanding of the network standby function, identifies the primary factors that influence its power draw, develops a framework for understanding these factors, and estimates power ranges associated with different network standby function implementations.
