The information network is widely spreading throughout society, and its functions and performance are improving remarkably. New services and businesses using this network are also emerging. It is expected that the expansion of the network scale and improvement of services will continue to progress steadily. We are therefore anxious about the large increase of energy consumption that will accompany network expansion. The "Investigating R&D Committee on Information Apparatus Energy System Trends in Homes and Offices" was set up to investigate (1) trends in home and office information network system technologies, (2) information apparatus energy system trends in the home or office, (3) HEMS and BEMS trends, (4) energy-saving technologies, energy creation technologies, and energy accumulation technologies trends in the home or office.
The trends in the high-speed broadband technology for home networks, such as ADSL, FTTH, PLC and so on, are covered in Chapter 1. The trends in energy creation and energy accumulation are described by Chapter 2. Technology trend regarding energy harvesting is also described. Trends in HEMS and the low power consumption electric power supply circuits and devices are covered in Chapter 3. Trends in smart grid and smart house are shown in Chapter 4. |
