Abstract | Advancement in wireless technologies is a double-edged sword in terms of its impact on energy usage and the environment. Wireless communications and networking applications such as cloud computing, web applications, global information systems, and the Internet have fueled a major increase in electric power consumption, while wireless devices, such as MP3 players, personal computers, and smart phones have created a huge problem in electronic garbage disposal. On the other hand, wireless communications and networking can enhance the production of clean energy by increasing the penetration of renewable energy generation in power grids, and help protect the environment by monitoring and possibly mitigating the generation of pollutants. In this talk, we discuss challenges and opportunities in wireless communications and networking research in energy and environment and some related projects at the University of Hong Kong Initiative on Clean Energy and Environment. |
