This paper presents a method for minimizing standby power consumption in wireless power transfer (WPT) system via magnetic resonance coupling (MRC) that operates at 6.78 MHz. The proposed circuit controls the required capacitance according to operational condition in order to reduce standby power consumption. Based on an impedance characteristic of the class-E power amplifier, operational principles of the proposed circuit are analyzed. Moreover, to verify the effectiveness of the proposed class-E power amplifier, an 8 W prototype for WPT system is implemented. The measured input power of the proposed class-E power amplifier at standby condition is reduced from 5.81 W to 3.53 W.

Standby power, so called an electric vampire, is a power which is consumed by appliances and office equipments connected to power sources while the devices are not performing. Sensor luminaires consist of PIR(Pyroelectric Infrared Ray) sensor, illuminance sensor(CdS), and light source. The sensor luminaires are one of the devices that consume a huge amount of standby power; it stands by for an average sum of 23 hours a day and performs only when moving subjects are detected under it, which barely takes up an hour per day. The purpose of this study is to provide basic materials to the selection of standby power items and to enable to explore a way to decrease the standby power by measuring and analyzing the power consumption of sensor luminaires. According to the results, the average standby power of LED sensor luminaires is 1.1W which is significantly higher than other products, and decrease in the standby power consumption of SMPS is important through the measurement.

In this paper, we designed the off-line PWM(Pulse width modulation) control IC for flyback type power converter to reduce the standby power consumption. In normal state, this off-line PWM IC generates the output pulse with $40\sim60kHz$ frequency and duty ratio of $20\sim88%$. When SMPS operates in standby mode, this IC generates the output pulse with 33kHz frequency and duty ratio of 1 %. SPICE simulation was performed to verify the standby power consumption of the power converter with designed of-line PWM IC. Power converter with designed off-line PWM IC consumes less than 0.3W when it operates in standby mode condition.

본 논문에서는 사용하지 않는 전기제품에서 불필요하게 소비되는 대기전력을 절감하기 위한 장치를 개발하였다. 도플러 센서를 사용하여 사람이 콘센트 주변에 존재 유무에 따라 콘센트의 전원공급과 차단을 자동으로 수행하는 장치이다. 도플러 센서는 동축 케이블 트랩을 사용하여 송신 안테나를 설계하였으며 10GHz 대역의 RF신호를 방사하여 대상 물체로부터 반사된 파장이 변화된 반사파 신호를 수신부로 수신하여 물체를 감지하여 사람의 접근을 인지하도록 하였다. 대기전력을 자동으로 차단 및 복구하여 불필요한 전력소모를 방지하여 에너지를 절약하고 누설전류에 의한 대형 화재의 위험성을 방지할 수 있는 대기전력 자동 차단 및 복구 장치를 개발하였다.

This study presents an input-powered high-efficiency interface circuit for energy harvesting systems, and introduces a zero standby power design to reduce power consumption significantly while removing the external power supply. This interface circuit is composed of two stages. The first stage voltage doubler uses a positive feedback control loop to improve considerably the conversion speed and efficiency, and boost the output voltage. The second stage active diode adopts a common-grid operational amplifier (op-amp) to remove the influence of offset voltage in the traditional comparator, which eliminates leakage current and broadens bandwidth with low power consumption. The system supplies itself with the harvested energy, which enables it to enter the zero standby mode near the zero crossing points of the input current. Thereafter, high system efficiency and stability are achieved, which saves power consumption. The validity and feasibility of this design is verified by the simulation results based on the 65 nm CMOS process. The minimum input voltage is down to 0.3 V, the maximum voltage efficiency is 99.6% with a DC output current of 75.6 μA, the maximum power efficiency is 98.2% with a DC output current of 40.4 μA, and the maximum output power is 60.48 μW. The power loss of the entire interface circuit is only 18.65 μW, among which, the op-amp consumes only 2.65 μW.

We have developed a new energy-consuming monitoring system that has made it possible to measure the energy consumption of a gas scrubber, one of semiconductor processing equipments, and installed this system to the gas scrubber under operating at a manufacture site. Using this system, we have measured consumptions of electric power and processing gas consumed at standby to operating mode. In case of the gas scrubber, processing gas flows continuously into it at standby and operating mode. Therefore, if the electric power has been supplied, the processing gas can flows into the device for 24 hours. Moreover, at operating of gas scrubber, the amount of electricity consumption is 5 kWh. At Standby of gas scrubber, it spends 3kwh. It is certain that the energy consumption is greater at operating mode than at standby mode. The carbon emission rates from 24 hour gas scrubber operation are 236 $kgCO_2$/day of $N_2$, 57 $kgCO_2$/day of electric power and 0.001 $kgCO_2$/day of cooling water. Most of carbon is emitted from $N_2$ gas and electric power consumption.

The lowest power mode (passive-standby mode) was proposed for reducing the power consumption of set-top boxes in a standby state when not receiving content. However, low-power set-top boxes equipped with the lowest power mode have been rarely commercialized because of their low-quality user experience. In the lowest power mode, they deactivates almost all of operational modules and processes, and thus require dozens of seconds for activation latency (that is, the latency for activating all modules of the set-top boxes in a standby state). They are not even updated in a standby state because they deactivate their network interfaces in a standby state. This paper proposes an adaptive standby mode scheduling method for improving the user experience of such boxes. Set-top boxes using the proposed method can analyze the activation pattern and find the frequently used time period (that is, when the set-top boxes are frequently activated). They prepare for their activation during this frequently used time period, thereby reducing the activation latency and enabling their update in a standby state.

전력부족현상으로 대기전력에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 대부분의 전자기기는 본래의 기능을 사용하지 않는 대기상태로 존재하며, 대기상태 중에서도 많은 전력을 소비한다. 이러한 대기상태로 인한 전력소비를 방지하기 위해 많은 나라에서 스마트 플러그에 관한 연구가 진행되었다. 그러나 이러한 스마트 플러그의 경우, 기능의 특성상 고가의 경우가 많으며, 사용자의 수동제어 또는 동작감지 센서 및 사용자 패턴에 의해 대기전력을 차단하게 된다. 이러한 기능은 동작감지 센서의 오작동, 사용자 패턴의 다양화에 따라 장점을 가지지 못한다. 본 연구에서는 사용자 스마트폰의 블루투스 기능과 연동하는 멀티플러그 타입의 스마트 플러그를 개발하였다. 사용자의 스마트폰을 이용하여 사용자 위치판단을 하고, 사용자 위치에 따라 능동적으로 스마트 플러그에서 각 전자기기의 대기전력을 차단함으로 전자기기들의 대기전력으로부터 소비되는 전력을 줄일 수 있음을 확인하였다.
