Recently, some policies for reducing standby power, which has quite an effect on electricity consumption, have been employed all over the world. This study surveys the present condition of standby power for major electric home appliances during three years and analyzes the result of technical development reducing standby power. It presents how the industry paid attention to applying the technique of reducing standby power to electric appliances and how it affects the product's energy efficiency. We survey the standby power's change for six items, which were selected from the major electric appliances available on the market. It analyzes the difference of standby power consumption between appliances with a standby power reducing technique and those without during the latest three years. The amount of the average standby power is also compared. The comparison data confirms that the industry's effort and application of reducing standby power contribution has contributed to increasing an appliance's energy efficiency. This study restricted the analyzed items to six appliances, which has been a low volunteered involvement in the standby power reducing program. It is important for reducing standby power consumption of appliances because it contributes to saving electric energy at home and abroad. The development of the standby power reducing technique is needed for more appliances. Along with the development of the standby power reducing technique in the industrial field, it also necessary for consumers to enlarge their understanding of standby power reduction for economic, social, and environmental values.

Recently, with the development of IoT technology and the increase of energy consumption, interest in energy saving and energy efficiency improvement is rapidly increasing. In particular, in the case of a device connected to a power plug with the power shutoff, a problem with standby power has been raised. Thus technology development through a low power method such as Zigbee is in progress. However, Zigbee, which is generally used, has a problem that a separate gateway is required because it is not an IP-based technology, and there is a problem that it is not suitable for a traditional computer network to which a variety of devices are connected. Therefore, in this paper, we designed and implemented a standby power saving system using MQTT, an IoT standard protocol, in Z-Wave environment. In order to evaluate the implemented standby power saving system, the same environment as the existing Zigbee-based standby power saving system was compared and evaluated.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate and analyze the function of a Smart Plug before and after it is applied on the electrical appliances by controlling standby power usage. The research measures and analyzes the amount of electrical energy used while activating the Smart Plug with two types of appliances in a university facilities. The smart plugs were applied into a Group 1 appliances (Multi-function device, computer, laptop, Air con) which completely hinder the standby power, and a Group 2 appliances (Refrigerator, cold and hot water dispenser) which does not completely hinder the standby powers due to the characteristics of the function. First, the total standby power saving of all electrical appliances (Group 1 and Group 2) using the Smart plug was measured as 4.59%. Second, the energy saving of the Group 1 products was analyzed as 26.43%. Third, the standby power saving of the air conditioners from mid October to early December was measured as 31.06%, during the seasons when air conditioning was not actively in use. The research indicates that all specified appliances did have better energy efficiency with the Smart plug regardless of the amount of energy usage.

This paper presents a development of the ELB (Electronic Leakage Breaker) based on a reduction of standby power dissipation as with maintaining conventional performance. In order to minimize the standby power consumption of the conventional circuit, we analyze the cause of 0.3W dissipation of the circuit. By employing the TR-triggered circuit to secure the standby power of 0.10W after testing and evaluation while CRD inserted circuit showed the performance of 0.17W levels. Implementing SMPS IC and TNR device circuit was designed and showed of its power to less than 0.06W. Developed ELB is expected much standby power savings in large power distributor or heavy users.

The purpose of this study was to assess power loss in the computer and office automation equipment and identified a way to save power consumptions through field measurement. In this study, the meaning of standby power was to consume power while waiting for the use of any electronic equipment. This standby consumption was about 11% of total power consumption even though we did not seriously realize it. Therefore, it was very important to measure accurate power consumption at the standby status of electronic equipment. In addition, it also helped to reduce potential risks of electricity associated disasters. This study proposed the way to reduce power losses through automatic turn off switches for power outlets and switches. Finally, this study can evaluate power consumption patterns that can reduce power consumptions and potential risks of power related disasters. This also can achieve the goals of sustainability that can reduce environmental impacts by lowering energy consumptions and greenhouse gas emissions.

최근 IoT 기술의 발전과 함께 전력 절감에 대한 관심이 증가하면서 소형화되고 있는 스마트 디바이스들의 전력 절감에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히 IoT 기반 스마트 디바이스들의 다양화와 개인 보급률의 증가로 인해 사용하지 않는 동안에도 발생하는 대기전력에 대한 이슈도 증가하고 있다. 그러나 실질적으로 대기전력을 절감하기 위해서는 물리적으로 콘센트를 뽑거나, 전원을 Off 해야 한다는 단점이 있으며, 기존 IP 기반이 아닌 Zigbee를 활용하기 때문에 인터넷 네트워크를 기반으로 하는 IoT 표준 프로토콜로 변경할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존 Zigbee 기술에 IoT 표준 프로토콜인 CoAP을 적용한 대기전력 절감 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다. 기존 시스템과 평가 결과 평균 약 8.4Wh의 대기전력이 절감된 것을 확인하였다.

This paper considers a power saving technique of set-top box (STB) that turns the signal into content which is then displayed on the television (TV) screen. A traditional power saving scheme, Auto Power Down (APD), was devised to reduce the power consumption of STB. APD checks whether the user is watching TV over a period of time and enforces STB into stand-by mode when the check result reveals the user is not watching TV. This paper proposes an enhanced power saving scheme that transits STB operation mode to 'stand-by' immediately when STB recognizes the change of TV's external input signal. The proposed scheme does not require the monitoring time to check the users' watching TV, and transits to standby mode faster than the conventional APD, which results in better performance in power saving. The simulation result shows that the proposed scheme achieves 2 to 11% improvement in power consumption compared with the conventional APD.

In this paper, we propose a sensor-based LED lighting system that can significantly reduce standby powers. The proposed LED lighting system has the more advanced power circuit and control mechanism compared to existing one. The whole power circuit consists of two subcircuits. One is designed to apply electric powers to controller, PIR(Pyroelectric Infrared Ray) sensor and CdS, and the other one is designed to apply electric powers to LED module. Such a power circuit configuration makes the standby powers reduction of LED lighting system possible. From the experimental results, we confirmed that the standby powers saving performance of the developed power circuit is superior to that of the conventional one.
