Task 9 – Intelligent Efficiency for Data Centres & Wide Area Networks
This task will investigate the introduction of “intelligent efficiency” measures for data centres (DCs) and wide area networks (WANs). The objective is to investigate the estimated energy consumption of DCs and WANs and
Task 8 – Total Energy Model for Connected Devices
This task involves developing a quantitative model of the “total energy cost” of connected devices, globally. The objective of the report (and model) is to quantify the total additional energy that results from devices becoming connected
Task 7 – Policy Case for Connected Devices
This task involves preparation of a global business case to support the implementation of policies for connected devices. The objective is to provide interested governments with an initial set of information that allows them to commence development of policies for connected devices
Task 6 – Energy Harvesting
The Internet of Things (IoT) includes many networked devices which consume energy. Specifically decentralized edge devices, like actuators and sensors often utilise batteries as their energy source. The EDNA report Energy Efficiency of the Internet of Things shows the substantial increase in
Task 5 – Network Standby Power Basics
This EDNA report examines the power used for “network standby”. In the context of this report, network standby refers to functionality that allows a product to maintain a network connection and await a network “trigger” in order to be awoken when needed
Task 3 – Intelligent Efficiency (Policy Opportunities)
The deployment of network-connected, next-generation sensors, controls, and communication technologies provides great opportunities to utilize collected data in real-time, in order to optimize the operation of buildings and other
Task 28 – Data Centres Workstream Activity #1 – Scope, Trends and Data Availability
This is the first activity of EDNA’s workstream on the energy efficiency of data centres. It’s objectives are to: Assess the various definitions and classifications of data centres and energy efficiency metrics. Propose a definition of scope
Task 27 – Connection with Standardisation
EDNA’s work in connected devices intersects considerably with standards in many areas. The objective of this task is to outline the “lie of the land” for standards and standardisation efforts (e.g. committees, working groups and their
Task 26 – Interoperability
The interoperability of connected devices can hamper the effectiveness of the digitalisation of the energy system. The objective of this task is to study the issue of (a lack of) device interoperability and the resultant impact
Task 25 – Emerging Battery Technologies
This task builds on previous EDNA tasks involving batteries: Network Zero Devices and Energy Harvesting Technologies. Today’s Li-ion batteries have a series of severe limitations, such as slow charging, limited life and safety issues. In
Task 24 – Mobile Devices
Mobile device energy usage is likely to increase, particularly with onset of 5G (+ future iterations) and in some cases mobile devices are likely to replace mains powered products. Hence the objective of this task are
Task 23 – Metrics for Data Centre Efficiency
This task aims to: Explore existing metrics for data centre efficiency. Identify which existing metric(s) would be most suited for use by policy makers, i.e. which metric(s) would be most suited to base policies on. Conduct
Task 22 – Plug and Play Devices
The objective of this task is to investigate the extent to which energy efficiency and demand flexibility services are not being realised because a proportion of smart, energy devices are not user-friendly with respect to setup
Task 21 – Demystifying Communications Protocols
This report focusses on application layer protocols, particularly those used in household equipment for demand flexibility.
Task 20 – Small Network Equipment
Small network equipment (SNE) of the kind used in homes and small offices (e.g. routers and modems) are significant consumers of energy. These are subject to voluntary agreements in the US, as well as Energy Star.
Task 2 – Energy Efficiency of the Internet of Things
This Task is a first step to tackle the widespread field of energy efficiency in IoT. It aims to enhance the market and technology knowledge, to prioritize the topics to address, to develop high-level recommendations on policies
Task 19 – Retrofitting Connectivity for Energy Benefits
The purpose of this topic is to examine the potential to make “dumb” devices into “smart” devices. In other words, to retrofit connectivity to in-situ consumer devices which currently are not network connected, so that they may become available to participate in intelligent efficiency and demand
Task 18 – Harnessing IoT for Energy Benefits
There are many IoT devices on (and entering) the market that embody consumer benefits related to lifestyle, security, convenience, health, etc. It is hypothesised that some of these products do not consider that there may also be energy savings available as a result of their connectivity
Task 17 – Extension of Total Energy Model
In 2018 EDNA developed a Total Energy Model (TEM) for connected devices, including an associated report. The objective was to develop a quantitative model of the ‘total energy use’ of connected devices, globally. The model considers a number of product categories and combines information
