Low-loss technology support for the energy internet
Fiber optic communication technology provides an efficient solution to build an energy-saving network system for data centers by significantly reducing network energy loss. The Henry Royce Institute in collaboration with the Institute of Physics and the Institute for Manufacturing have convened the academic and industrial materials research communities to explore opportunities for materials to support the UK's net-zero by 2050 target. Our Nation's electric system is evolving rapidly: an increasing variety of new energy resources is being integrated throughout the system while new sensing, computing, and control technologies promise to facilitate more efficient, flexible system operation. Low power communication protocols such as 6LoWPAN have been widely used on applications that require less energy consumption for short-range wireless communication, for example, Internet of Thing (IoT) devices. As the amount of these devices escalates, it becomes increasingly important to consider.
