Reducing Standby Power to 1W in Korea

Standby power = Vampire Power

Korea imports 97% of the total energy consumed in the country. Last year alone,Korea spent $US 49.6 billion on energy imports. Therefore, it is vital to makeimprovements in energy saving and energy efficiency. The more serious problem liesin wasting expensive energy while not performing the main functions. Standby poweris an example of wasted energy, the energy is consumed when the appliances are notin operation. Standby power is the power consumed while the appliance awaitsinstruction such as the signal ‘standing by’ from the remote controller, timer ormonitor displays. For such reasons, standby power is also called ‘Vampire Power’.

The amount of standby power consumption is much greater than we imagine. Atthis very moment, more than 300 million electronic devices are in operationconsuming on average 3.66W standby power per device. Every year, 306kWh ofstandby power is consumed per household ($US 33, 11% of total household energyconsumption), an amount equivalent to the monthly electricity consumption of ahousehold, resulting in a national total of $US 476 million being wasted withoutactually delivering useful service. It will be too late to realize the seriousness of thisproblem when a power plant generating 850 thousand KW is in operation to generateworthless standby power.

Standby power consuming products

Products that have power switches consume certain amounts of standby power.Particularly, products such as consumer electronics, office equipment and whitegoods, where the ‘standing by’ time exceeds the operation time, have high standbypower consumption.

Consider the total of actual operation time of a microwave oven in a householdcompared to the hours during which it is consuming power for digital displays andindicator lights, and then one will gain a better understanding of standby power. It isestimated that in the case of VCR in operation on the average of 20 minutes everyday, the standby power takes 80% of its total energy consumption. TVs, VCRs, audioequipment, DVD players, set top boxes, computers, printers, washing machines, dishwashers, and external power supplies (DC power supply, AC adapter, cellular phonebattery charger, battery charger) also spend far more time a waiting instructions toperform rather than performing their main functions.

Current status on standby energy consumption

Standby energy consumption in Korean households

The figure below showsthe range of standbypower consumption incommon householdappliances. The figuresuggests that standbypower below 1W(including 0W) accountsfor 31% and standbypower within the rangeof 1-3W is most common(33%). Standby powerof more than 10Waccounts for 5% andhousehold appliances such as audio, external modem and others with high standbypower fall into the high standby power household appliance group. The averagestandby power of equipment covered in this survey is 3.66W and the average totalstandby power demand for an individual household is 57.0W.

Table below shows the average standby power of the major equipment measured ina sample household. The standby power of the audio equipment is the highest. TheDVD player, VCR and TV also show high standby power, 12.2W 5.5W and 4.3Wrespectively. The high standby power of audio can be attributed to power installation.Information and communication devices are found to have high standby power.Computers systemss equipped with printers, external modems, and speakers are foundto consume, on average, 16.8W of standby power.

Total national standby power consumption

If the Korea Electric Power Corporation’s 15.03 million household customers(2002.01) consume, on average, 306kWh of standby power annually, the nationalannual standby power consumption can be estimated to be 4.6TWh. Such householdstandby power consumption accounts for 1.67% of the 274TWh of total nationalpower consumption per annum. This household standby power would require 856MW of instantaneous powerto supply it, equivalent to the power generated from asteam power plant. In other words it could be said that the entire output of an 856MWsteam power plant is wasted as standby power by in household appliances notperforming their primary functions while connected to the external power supplies.

The table below summarizes the scale of national household standby powerconsumption. In this table, the minimum value represents the measured values of thesample in this survey. Estimated values represent the sum of the minimum value and20% of the minimum value.

As stated above, Korea’s 2003 household standby power consumption is estimatedto be 11% of total household power consumption. 80% of the standby power in thissurvey is generated by equipment while it is off-line. Standby power of equipmentthat is off-line is showing a decreasing trend due to the efforts of government, industryand consumer groups. Recently, a major local household appliance manufacturerdeclared that it will lower the standby power of all manufactured products to 1W.However, the standby power consumption pattern is changing rapidly due to recentdevelopments in ubiquitous technology, intelligent home and household networkingsystems. Standby power is securing a place as an essential element in the powerrequirements of all ‘intelligent’ and smart equipment.

Standby power consumption status in other countries

The table below is created by adding the results of this survey analysis to thestandby power status of various countries, compiled by Alan Meier. Korea’s averagehousehold standby power is shown to be smaller than that of other OECD countries.However, Korea’s annual household standby power is relatively higher than that ofFrance’s standby power survey results over 178 households in 1999 (Spidler, 2000)and UK’s survey results over 32 households (Vowles et al. 2001) in 2000.

Globally, policy measures to cope with standby power have been established by theUnited States’ ENERGY STAR Program, EU Code of Conduct and GEEA (Group forEnergy Efficient Appliances). Especially, Australia’s efforts to incorporate standbypower issues into their environment policy mix, by linking standby power to TCOemissions, draw special attention. Australia has highly developed primary and serviceindustries. However almost all manufactured goods are imported from overseas.Australia is keen to minimise power consumption of these manufactured goods andthrough various programs, special attention is given to the standby power reductionefforts. Australia holds annual conferences on standby power issues and to persuadebusiness establishments to reduce standby power consumption. Businesses’production/sales documents, import/export documents and household survey resultsare being accumulated in a database and a special task force is organized to monitorthe trends of the standby power.

Standby power in the era of home network system

Due to the special characteristics of home network systems, where the IP set topbox, xDSL modem, home gateway, PC and TV can all be connected to the externalcommunication system in standby mode, an increase of standby power consumption isexpected. By 2020 standby power consumption is projected to be 1/4 of the totalhousehold energy consumption, and the main cause of such a increase can beattributed to the home network system. (Switzerland, ICT workshop documents).

According to a presentation given by Aebischer (Swiss Federal Institute ofTechnology Zurich) at the ICT workshop, the increase of standby power consumptiondue to network systems operation (standby on) is expected to exceed the increasewhen it is in standby/off (as shown in figure). These results indicate that suchincrease is due to rapid increase in supply of communication appliances tohouseholds. It is apparent that the future market will be dominated byelectric/electronic devices with network functions, rather than those devices withoutnetwork functions.

In Korea, 61% of the total households (10 million households) have plans toconstruct digital homes. Establishment of energy saving measures to address homenetwork system, a potential power sucking hippopotamus, is an urgent issue.Specifically, assistance should be given to develop home network system relatedenergy saving technology, and the drafting of standby power reduction standardsshould be expedited.

Reducing Standby Power to 1W in Korea

Declaration of Standby Power 1W

At the 26th Energy Saving Promotion Rally (2004.11.12), the Prime Ministerrevealed the government’s strong will to reduce standby power by stating that,“thegovernment will offer full assistances in developing, procuring and disseminatingstandby power saving technologies so that by year 2010, the standby power of allelectronic products shall be reduced to below 1W.”

Korea became the third country in the world making an official declaration onStandby Power 1 W policy after USA (2001) and Australia (2002). Korea ranks firstin terms of the time it takes to achieve the goals stated in the Standby Power 1Wpolicy (USA: does not specify the time limit, Australia: by 2012, Korea: by 2010)

The purpose of the Standby Power 1W program is to reduce standby power demandwithout having consumers physically unplug appliances from power outlets. In otherwords, come up with new electronic appliances where consumers do not have tounplug them individually. The main objective of the Standby Power 1W program isto reduce standby power below 1W by 2010.

New standby power, active standby

Even when the power is switched off, 20~40W energy is consumed. A new form ofstandby power called ‘Active Standby’ is becoming a reality that we have to face. Theemergence of active standby power started with the introduction of set top boxes. It isa power mode where the consumer switches off the power (the consumer thinks thepower is switched off completely) but the internal circuit still consumes standbypower to wait for external cord/cordless signals.

So far, we have estimated that standby power normally takes up to 3~4W and at themaximum up to 10W. However, studies have shown that a set top box alone canwaste 20~40W of standby power and it is urgent to address this issue.

Status on the development of Standby Power1W technology

About 10 semiconductor power supply companies in the world are able to supplylow power consuming semiconductors to the electronics industry. The newtechnology, with a slight increase of $US 1~3 dollars in the production unit cost, isable to reduce 75~90% of standby power being wasted. When the new technology isapplied to the products, the standby power consumption is reduced to 0.03W~1W andit saves the trouble of unplugging every single appliance in operation to save energy.

The types of standby power

Standby power can be further classified into no-load mode, off mode, passivestandby mode, active standby mode, and sleep mode. With the current level oftechnology, 1W objective can be achieved at no-load mode, off mode, and passivestandby mode. However, at the moment the 1W target is not achievable in activestandby mode and in sleep mode. Therefore, supporting development of standbypower reduction technolog and strengthening standards in standby power reductionprograms shall assist achieving the 1W target in all modes.

External power supplies & Set top boxes

External power supplies and set top boxes are the main targets of the StandbyPower 1W program. The IEA advocates applying global standby power standards onexternal power supplies and set top boxes to cut standby power in these devices tobelow 1W.

External Power Supplies

■■ DC power supply, AC adapter, cellular phone battery charger etc

■■ Over 100 million external power supplies are estimated to bein operation in Korea alone each of which consumes 2~4W ofstandby power. Globally, 1 billion new power supplies areintroduced to the market annually

■■ There is a need to remove linear (2~4W) adapters from themarket and adopt high energy efficient SMPS (0.3~0.5W)adapters

The IEA suggested the standards for standby power below0.5W and proposed the global standards based on theENERGY STAR program from the USA (≤0.5 watts wherenameplate output power is less than 10 watts and ≤0.75watts where nameplate output power is 10 watts or greater)The ENERGY STAR Program and the EU Code of Conductagreed on specification that address both the standby powerand operational efficiency (active mode) of external powersuppliesFrom 2006, the state of California (and Australia in 2007) isplanning to apply MEPS by banning the production and salesof those products that do not satisfy its standards, which areconsistent with the current ENERGY STAR efficiencycriteria

Set top boxes

■■ Consumes 20~40W standby power (Active Standby)

■■ Current deployment number is 2~3 million, however due to the revolution indigital broadcasting and home networking system, it is estimated 15 millionhouseholds will own a set top box or set top box integrated digital TV. Thereforeurgent measures are needed to deal with such dramaticstandby power increases

IEA Active 8W, recommends Standby 1W standardsEU Code of Conduct drafted standards to limitstandby power consumption to 7~9W atactive standby mode

Objectives of Standby Power 1W policy foreach phase

There is a need to establish a quantified objective in order to achieve the annualstandby power reduction objective by 2010 and 2020, as shown in table below. Inorder to achieve the reduction objective, the standby power status of newly introducedequipment in the market, and equipment sold for household, use is monitored everytwo years and necessary adjustments are made to proceed to the next phase.

Influenced by the rapid developments in the field of digital equipment and homenetwork systems, the steady increase of standby power consuming equipment isexpected. Therefore, the number of 1W target products needs to be expanded by atleast more than 1 every year.

Reducing Standby Power to 1W in Korea

Forecasting model for reduction of electricityconsumption

Predictions on holdings of electronic appliances per household

The number of electronic appliances responsible for causing standby powerconsumption is predicted and shown in the table below. Starting from 15.6 units perhousehold in the 2003 standby power survey, it is estimated that there has beenannual increase of 0.75 units (5% annual increase) in the number of standby powerconsuming appliances in the average household. It is predicted that the portion ofnetwork household appliances will increase dramatically.

Since the standby power consumption of network household appliances exceedsthe standby power consumption of off-line household appliances, it is appropriate toconsider them separately.

According to the 2003 standby power survey, each household held 15.6 units ofstandby power generating appliances. However, that number is expected to increaseto 19 units in 2010, and 35 units in 2020. The number of network appliances perhousehold is expected to be 2 in 2010, and 10 in 2020.

Prediction on the number of standby power generating appliances per household

1. The base number of network households is the sum of the number of modem and set box in 2003

2. The growth rate of network household appliances is estimated to be 18% (annual) and the decrease inthe number of off line household can be seen as replacement by the network household appliances.

Estimating the holding number of 1W products per household

The number of 1W products, if the standby power 1W policy is implemented, perhousehold is forecast. According to the 2003 standby power survey, the portion ofstandby power achieving 1W is reported to be 22% (excluding 2% with 0 standbypower). If the Standby Power 1W policy is successfully implemented, the portion ofproducts with standby power below 1W is expected to increase to 30% in 2007, 40%in 2010, and 80% in 2020 as shown in the table below.

There is a necessity to establish these estimates as the Standby Power 1W targets.

Estimating the average standby power of appliances hold byhousehold

Based on the above mentioned portion of 1W products held by households, theaverage standby power of appliances held by household is forecast as shown in thetable below. According to the standby power survey in 2003, the average standbypower of below 1W products is estimated to be 0.8W, and the average standby powerof others is estimated to be 4.5W

With the successful implementation of the 1W policy, the standby power ofappliances is forecast to decrease continuously to 3.02W in 2010, 1.54W in 2020.

Calculation of potential energy reduction

■■ Total standby power at the base year

Set 2003 as the base year (the year the standby power survey was conducted)

Estimation was based on the appropriate standby power generation capacity (57W)

■■ Matters to be considered when calculating annual increase rate of standby power

Apply historical annual increase rate, if available

Australia’s standby power increased by 8% annually from 1994 to 2000Similar data not available in the case of Korea (survey was conducted once in 2003)

Estimation method by analyzing historic data on dissemination rate ofhousehold appliances and other forecasting documents

According to Korea Electric Power Corporation the number of appliancesincreased 3% annually (16.1 types, 25 units in 2000, 17.5 types, 26.6 units in 2002)

Attention should be given to dissemination rate of home network appliancesand the corresponding standby power

Digital set top box’s annual growth rate in Asia is expected to be 31% (IMS, 2002)

Ministry of Information and Communication announced its plan to transform10 million households(61%) into digital homes(2003)

Home gateway and digital network appliance’s annual growth rate is estimatedto be 63%, 18% respectively (Gartner, 2002)

Based on the documents mentioned above, the Korea Electro-technologyResearch Institute estimated that the standby power of home networkappliances will be 3 times more than the ordinary household appliances, if the1W policy is not implemented (according to the institute’s 2003 report, thexDSL modem’s standby power is estimated to be 6W, and the standby powerof the set top box is much greater, therefore, it is valid to estimate the networkappliance’s standby power to be 10W)

Estimating the effects of standby powerreduction for each household

The graph below shows the change in standby power consumption for the period2005~2020 when the Standby Power 1W policy is implemented. The effect of the1W policy will be seen starting from 2007 and the effect increases as time goes by.

2012 is estimated to be a critical year where the standby power of households isexpected to decrease, and by year 2020, the standby power is estimated to be smallerthan the base year 2003. This means that the standby power generation remains at asteady level despite an increase in the number of household appliances (almostdouble). The standby power of individual appliances is estimated to decrease to 50%of their initial level.

Korea’s 1-watt Plan

According to the IEA, on the average, 10% of a total household (OECD) powerconsumption is being wasted in the form of standby power. In 1999, IEA hasproposed to reduce the standby power of all electronic products below 1W, the socalled 1-watt Plan.

The proclamation of President Bush’s ‘Executive Order 13221’ (2001.12.31) tolimit the standby power of electronic products purchased by the US governmentbelow 1W, has been the driving force in changing the electronic industries’ attitudestowards standby power. President Bush pointed out that ‘5 billion watts of electricityis being vaporized as standby power every year in the US alone’ and ‘5 power plantsin the US are in full operation just to power those power vampires.’

In 2002, the Australian government (AGO) announced a national strategy to achievethe 1W standby power target by implementing a mandatory standby policy by 2012.This measure is a first step to expand the standby power policy of USA that limited itsboundary to the government sector. Strictly speaking, the Australian attempt can beviewed as a first complete and comprehensive 1W policy.

In 2004, Korea became the third country in the world to announce its commitment toreduce the standby power of all electronic products below 1W. Korea is a leadingmanufacturer of LCD monitors, digital TVs, DVD players, set top boxes, mobile phone,microwave ovens, air conditioners and digital home networking systems. Korea isattracting attentions from all around the world in terms of its standby power activitiesand this just proves Korea’s prominent position in the global electronics market.
