Abstract :
In this modern era, saving energy ought to become a major concern and responsibility of everyone on this global warming world. All should consume energy as wisely as possible. Nonetheless, an enormous deal of energy (around 5-10% of total household energy consumption) is still being wasted nearly everywhere with and without consumers´ awareness over the standby power drawn by various appliances when they appear to be switched off via remote control units and yet stay in the sleep/standby mode possibly almost 24 hours a day. In this work, we redesign the system such that the appliances do not consume energy at all when switched onto the sleep mode. Unlike the existing system in which some amount of energy is still consumed by the sleeping appliance while waiting for a weak wake-up signal command from the remote control unit, instead the proposed system has the remote control unit emit strong energy to wake up the system from a completely shut down state. Essentially, this system reflects the more efficient standby energy management strategy since users typically utilize the remote unit to emit the strong energy in order to wake up appliances only a few times a day while the zero power consumption saving advantage during the prolonged standby period is apparently more dominant. When widely adopted, this innovation can smartly help reduce household energy consumption throughout the world.
