GreenTouch Approach in Standards Gilbert Buty (Alcatel Lucent GreenTouch) gilbert.buty@alcatel-lucent.com IEA/4E/SEAD Workshop on network standby and ICT energy efficiency Paris Sept 2013
GreenTouch in a nutshell Slow-down in technology improvements Network energy efficiency only increasing at 10-15% per year ICT also has significant enabling effect to reduced global carbon emissions through increased and more intelligent use of communication and networking technologies 2
GreenTouch in a nutshell Bell Labs Initiated Global Research Consortium representing industry, government and academic organizations New Innovation Model for sustainability Launched in May 2010 Focus on energy efficiency, sustainability and growth Holistic and ambitious: Goal of 1000x 55 member organizations with 350+ leading scientists Recognized by the World Economic Forum as an industry-led best practice toward sustainability Moving from fundamental research into the pre-competitive area through standardization Leading Green ICT: cooperation with other organizations such as GeSI, ITU-T, GreenGrid, Carbon Trust, ITRS Deliver by 2015 Architectures, Specifications and Solutions and Demonstrate Key Technologies to Increase Network Energy Efficiency by a Factor 1000 Compared to 2010 3
Traffic Data : Introduction To provide information to GreenTouch Members for them to assess the energy saved by using the GreenTouch technologies: Analysis global internet traffic volumes for 1994 to the present, Based on wide range of historical data. Project internet traffic to 2020 for several regions, market segments and application categories: Regression analysis, Two types of regions, Mature Market : North America + Western Europe + Japan» Growth of number of internet video users <= 10% over the 2010-15 period Emerging Market : RoW Fixed and Mobile. 4
TRAFFIC VOLUME (PB/mo) TRAFFIC VOLUME (PB/mo) Data Traffic Evolution (Mature vs Emerging Markets) 100,000 Mature Market - Consumer Internet - Total Emerging Market - Consumer Internet - Total 100,000 80,000 80,000 60,000 40,000 20,000 low medium high 60,000 40,000 20,000 low medium high 0 2005 2010 2015 2020 YEAR 0 2005 2010 2015 2020 YEAR Traffic is still growing, Emerging Market traffic is projected to cross the Mature Market around 2017. 5
Data Traffic Evolution (Fixed vs Mobile Networks) the internet traffic over fixed networks still dominates: Today the total volume of fixed IP traffic is ~25 times larger than the volume of mobile IP traffic 6
Evolution of Power Consumption in Networks Video: 70% of Internet Traffic In 2014 Network Consumption represents ~75% of the energy bill of an operator Between 7 to 20% of its OPEX Smartphones: 2.5 billion devices by 2015 32x increase per km2 Mobile Internet : ~ 70% of mobile traffic by 2014 Source: METI, Japan 7
GreenTouch and Standardization Services, Policies and Standards (SPS) WG created one year ago and co-chaired by CMCC and Alcatel Lucent: To host projects not directly addressing technical developments (e.g. assessment methodologies, eco-rating), To extract GreenTouch key results from the GreenTouch projects and promote them in SDOs and Forums. 8
