IMPACT OF STAND-BY ENERGY LOSSES IN ELECTRONIC DEVICES ON SMART NETWORK PERFORMANCE

Abstract

Limited energy resources and environmental concerns due to ever increasing energy onsumption, more and more emphasis is being put on energy savings. Smart etworks are promoted worldwide as a powerful tool used to improve the energy efficiency hrough consumption management, as well as to enable the distributed ower generation, primarily based on renewable energy sources, to be optimally xplored. To make it possible for the smart networks to function, a large number of lectronic devices is needed to operate or to be in their stand-by mode. The consumption f these devices is added to the consumption of many other electronic devices lready in use in households and offices, thus giving rise to the overall power onsumption and threatening to counteract the primary function of smart networks. his paper addresses the consumption of particular electronic devices, with an emphasis laced on their thermal losses when in stand-by mode and their total share in he overall power consumption in certain countries. The thermal losses of electronic evices in their stand-by mode are usually neglected, but it seems theoretically ossible that a massive increase in their number can impact net performance f the future smart networks considerably so that above an optimum level of energy avings achieved by their penetration, total consumption begins to increase. Based n the current stand-by energy losses from the existing electronic devices, we propose hat the future penetration of smart networks be optimized taking also into account osses from their own electronic devices, required to operate in stand-by ode.
