- Energy Usage Research on Computer Power Supplies
Although there are many articles and published papers on energy consumption related to computer equipment, it’s almost impossible to find detailed specifications of this equipment. Here, you will find both: actual measurements (not averages or estimates) and also the specifications of the devices, which can help with comparison and identification.
Please note: More devices are added monthly, so please make sure to keep tuning in.
Parameters
- List of Research Articles:
– Mini PCs, SFF, ITX, Micro Computers
– Desktop Towers or CPUs (Slim, Full, Gaming, OEM, Mini PC, iMac, etc.)
– Server Computers (Dell PowerEdge, SuperMicro, Blade, etc.)
– Laptops, Netbooks, Chromebooks, Surface Pro, Macbook, etc.
– LCD and CRT monitors, TVs and other types of display
– Networking Equipment: Switches, Routers, Firewalls, Access Points, Modems, etc.
– Power Supplies: Measured by themselves
– Other: IoT, External Hard Drives, Printers, Cable Boxes, Gaming Consoles, Phones, Cellphones charging, UPS battery Backups, etc.
- Power Meters Used
– P3 P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity Usage Monitor
– PN2000 Plug-in Kilowatt Electricity Usage Monitor
– Seasonic Power Angel SSM-1508RA (No longer used)
* All of the meters above were confirmed to be within 1 W of each other
