According to MIT Science and Technology Innovation Network, even if electronics and electrical equipment are not used, as long as they are plugged in sockets, they will waste a lot of energy. Some people dubbed this method of power consumption as a "vampire." For example, even if the home theater is in standby mode, the amount of power consumed by a home theater is equivalent to the amount of power consumed by a single refrigerator.
There are already many new devices that help solve this problem. US ThinkEco recently invented a small device called the Modlet, which is smart enough to continuously monitor the energy consumption of any device on the socket. ThinkEco executives believe that Modlet can reduce the overall energy efficiency of the family by 6% to 10%.
Just through the desktop computer or mobile device interface, the user can turn off the Modlet connected electrical equipment, and can set the switching time for the electrical equipment. It is reported that the Modlet can realize wireless control. Through a USB dongle, the Modlet can communicate wirelessly with the user's computer. The entire process does not require the smart meter to provide data. According to another report, ThinkEco plans to conduct online sales and physical sales to Modlets in October this year. A single Modlet sells for $45 and a USB connector costs $50. By using the Modlet, home users can easily turn on and off the electrical equipment, thereby automating home equipment.
In fact, similar simple devices have appeared on the market. For example, Belkin's economizer consists of a terminal block and a single plug. By manually turning off or setting a timer, it prevents the device from consuming power when not in use. General Electric (GE) has introduced a more sophisticated energy management system, including a device called Nucleus that acts as a hub for home energy management systems. Nucleus is a 12-inch computer that can be connected wirelessly to home smart meters or to other compatible devices. The information that Nucleus provides to users is the same as that received by utility companies.
If using Modlet sockets, the information in Nucleus can also be obtained by using desktop computers or mobile devices. But unlike the Modlet, Nucleus can also use the existing energy management features of "smart" appliances. Some brands of dishwashers, dryers, etc. have this feature. At present, General Electric's technology is still in the testing phase. In some U.S. states, utility companies provide Nucleus for consumers as part of the government's "Demand Response" program. The project allows utility companies to selectively reduce the power consumption of consumer electrical equipment, especially when the grid is heavily loaded.
Although the target markets of General Electric Company and ThinkEco have considerable overlap, now ThinkEco is more inclined to adopt a consumer-oriented strategy. According to ThinkCco co-founder Mei Chai Tian, ​​the largest market for ThinkEco products may be office buildings. "In the office, no one can think about energy use. Turning off the lights is not my job, even if I should do it," Mei Shibata said.
Mei Chai Tian said that for devices such as vending machines, it is usually possible to choose to power off at night. If you use a Modlet, you can save electricity, and the cost of purchasing a Modlet can be recovered within two months. How much electricity and electricity cost the vending machine consumes in the end is the key to determining whether a merchant uses a Modlet. In homes and offices, Modlets used to connect electrical equipment typically have a payback period of 9 months. Research shows that the use of energy management systems can effectively reduce user consumption.
General Electric's energy engineer Mike Baye said: "Many people don't understand energy consumption at all. This is what we are starting to realize. GE's current tests show that users have a deeper understanding of this. In the past, users did not pay attention. Users will become better consumers and decision makers because they have been given the right to understand this area.†(Liu Yang)
