The APEC Standby Power Conference - Moving Towards 1 Watt and Beyond was held from 19-21 October 2010 at the Shinagawa Prince Hotel, Tokyo, Japan. The conference brought together close to 50 experts on standby power representing 12 APEC countries. The conference covered a wide range of standby related topics, ranging from technologies and components to high level policy and implementation issues.
The purpose of the conference was to bring together both industry and government policy makers to gain an understanding of the possibilities for reducing consumption in standby power.
Conference participants learnt of new technologies that are available now to reduce standby power and advanced and innovative designs for power management and improved user interaction that have already reached the market. Advanced designs that could reduce the energy consumption of many "information based" devices during periods of low utilisation have been used for many years in mobile devices and there is a need to encourage their wide spread adoption into mains powered (tethered) products, as this could result in large energy reductions in all modes. Many countries outlined their efforts to reduce standby power. There has been extensive international cooperation in the area of measurements and test procedures, forming a solid foundation for good policy.
Networks were acknowledged as an area of growing interest and importance and as such was a topic discussed at length. Increasingly products are connected to networks, so attention needs to be paid to network protocols and product design to ensure that networks are configured to minimise product energy consumption through advanced power management rather than increase overall energy use in all modes.
A total of 22 presentations were made over the first two days and each of these presentations are available for download below. The conference concluded with an intensive half day workshop that reviewed all of the technical issues covered by the previous presentations. This helped to set some longer term aspiration policy goals and targets for the group. The workshop also helped to identify areas where more research is needed to achieve a low standby power future.
The outcomes of the workshops have been written up in two reports: Policy Alignment Options, and Technology Report. These are now available for download along with the complete conference proceedings in a single volume (includes all presentations).
