Huge energy-savings by WBG semiconductors
This is one of the latest articles published by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) related to wide bandgap technology, and its potential promising applications for SiC and GaN Semiconductors.
Visual Perception under Energy-Efficient Light Sources – – Detection of the Stroboscopic Effect under Low Levels of SVM
Temporal light modulation (TLM, known colloquially as “flicker”) of light sources has visual, neurobiological, and performance and cognition effects on viewers.
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
PECTA Pre-scoping study – New power electronic materials and devices and its impact on the energy efficiency – Assessment Study for 4E Annex preparation
In the beginning of 2017, a new Annex to the IEA 4E TCP (Technology Collaboration Program of Energy Efficient End-Use Equipment) has been planned. The Power Electronic Conversion Technology Annex (PECTA) is designed as a platform to assess the efficiency benefit of using the emerging WBG technology. This report is part of the PECTA preparation […]
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
Policy Guidelines for Motor Driven Units – Part 2
This Policy Guideline proposes policy options for the inter-national alignment of technical standards and minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) for pump, fan and compressor Motor Driven
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.
