EDNA’s work in this area is strongly focused on network standby energy. Network standby energy is the energy used by a connected device when not performing its primary function, but maintaining a network connection. By 2030 it is estimated that 300 TWh per annum could be wasted by network standby energy globally, which is the same as the current Global Network 2030 electricity consumption of the UK.
EDNA’s Total Energy Model models the energy consumption of connected devices (network standby power).
