An introduction to Phantom/Standby Power

What is Phantom/Standby Power ?

Almost every electronic devices consumes Phantom power.

e.g. TV, Home Entertainment System, Computers, Mobile Chargers.

Causes:

• 5 – 10% of residential electricity in most countries• 1% of global CO2 emissions

Power drawn by a device when not in use or standby while plugged in.

Standby Power of each product is tiny--just a few watts--but most houses and offices have more than

15 products with standby

Mobile Charger

Consumers are aware of the issue of connected devices continuing to eat power even

when batteries are fully charged. But few realize that this also applies to a small but

measurable extent even when the device is removed while the charger is still left plugged

into the mains.

1.Chargers are always kept

connected to the power socket.

2.Damages Battery and Phone Life.

3.Wastage of Power

CURRENT SCENARIO

Proposed SYSTEM

Spara smart charger has an inbuilt energy management

system that is customized for cellular phones.

PROPOSED SYSTEM

The smart charger determines whether the connected phone is fully charged or whether it is

still charging by using smart sensing technique.

If the phone is fully charged it shuts down the power supplied to it, thereby eliminating all possible

power losses.

If the phone is unplugged from the charger, it

automatically cuts off the power thus eliminating

phantom power wastage.

A

Energy conservation.

Fully automated operation.

No need to turn OFF the charger

manually.

Go Green, without disturbing

the current routine of mobile

users.

Can save up to 97% of phantom power

losses

ADVANTAGES

Increase in life of mobile battery

FEATURES•Individual current/wattage monitoring and sms acknowledgment.

•Scheduling via sms.

•Remote turn on/off facility.

•Generates reports based on power usage pattern.

•Auto cut off when device goes in standby

•Individual manual switches are also provided

•New modules can be added to the strip

•Auto cut off after shut down(Spara)

Data Devices

Assuming that the printer is in stand by mode for the remaining , say, 20 hours. Going by simple calculations : 20hrs x 20 watts = 400 watt hours/day

Printers, Fax Machines and Other Data

Devices are some of the major energy

drainers in offices and homes.

Data Devices remain ON for a majority of the time while they

are used only for a small part of the

day.

Studies have shown that

cumulative use of a Printer is 2 hours in a normal office.

CURRENT SCENARIO

Printer Status Units of Power Consumed

Run-time 1000-2000 watts/Hour

Stand by 20-40 watts/Hour

Printer Turns ON [~ 30 Sec]

Print Command is Given

Turns OFF thus Saving Power.

Prints the Data and waits for 1 min to

check if further prints are there.

• We use the JIT Theory [Just-in-Time] for Data Devices by ensuring they are ON only when required.

• A LAN card has been integrated into the SPARA module , which detects for any print commands issued and turns ON the printer.

• In the case of USB printer, a USB interface card is used which detects for a print command to turn ON the printer.

• The printer can be scheduled so that it remains ON during peak hours and can switch to Spara mode at other times.

• Spara printer module is designed to be used both USB and NETWORK printers.

PROPOSED SYSTEM

A

ADVANTAGES

Data Devices are not kept ON unnecessarily during Weekends and

After Hours thus increasing their life

span.

Just in Time Usage thus saving huge

amount of power.

Home Entertainment Systems

CURRENT SCENARIO

•In majority of cases all Home Entertainment Devices are Connected to a common power strip

•Turning on the television = Turning on all other connected devices like the set-up box , DVD

Player , Speakers etc.

If the Stand by mode is greater than 1 minute , the

unused appliances are turned off automatically (power

saving mode).

PROPOSED SYSTEM

To turn on the desired appliance simply press the

required button on the universal remote for 5

seconds.

Runtime Losses and Standby Power The Biggest Culprit

For example when employees go for lunch, they usually do not turn off their

computers which results in power loss of up to 100 Watts/Hr/computer.

Similarly a majority of employees do not switch OFF their system once the

computer is shut down resulting in Standby Losses up to 10

Watts/Hr/Computer.

Runtime Losses:Takes place due to

negligence of employees.

Standby Power Losses:Occurs when devices are left ON at

the end of the day.

Calculations shows that about 30% of electricity is wasted per year per

computer due to Runtime and Standby Power Losses.

accordingly.

These power losses occur in transformer windings and circuits.

Normally at no load, stabilizer

consumes more than 10 watts power called

standby or no load power.
