80% of mobile network power consumption originates in the RAN, of which RUs account for 50%. Cutting down RU power demand can significantly move the needle towards addressing the pressing need to improve network #EnergyEfficiency and sustainability overall. Fortunately, the #OpenRAN community is already on the case and the introduction of 5G provides excellent opportunities to realize power savings. Our white paper explains the importance of conserving power in 5G RAN and, with reference to specific and relevant aspects of #ORAN architecture, standards and control mechanisms, delves into the means by which power consumption can be reduced.

The 1st version of the UrbanTwin tool is out.🍾  The “minimum viable product” of the #UrbanTwin tool was presented on July 2nd in Lucerne (CH). Described in a joint paper of #EPFL (DESL, IPESE and CSQI laboratories) and the Lausanne utility (Services Industriels de Lausanne - #SIL), this involves a decision-support framework for #sustainable_planning of the #urban energy system. Aligned with the UrbanTwin model architecture, the framework consists of a central database, multiple individual models that share the same boundary conditions, and a core multi-objective optimization tool.  The framework's utility is showcased in the city of Lausanne for the deployment of heat pumps (#HP) and rooftop PV. As a decision-support tool, it does not provide one fixed solution, but it gives utilities the freedom to explore different scenarios and trade-offs between CAPEX and OPEX costs. The paper is accessible through this link: https://lnkd.in/d7uCB3kS Stay tuned. An updated version of the tool is already under development!

Why #smartbuildings need a #digitaltwin to realize their full operating potential. The Building Twin bridges the gap between the building’s architecture, the placement of the devices and sensors throughout the building, and the data they produce. #Digitalization enables smart buildings to understand their surroundings and interact with their users. The key here is data. Lots of data. https://lnkd.in/estCVgem

Chelsea’s virtual #microgrid could serve as a model for deploying #distributeenergyresources from the community up, changing the architecture of the aging #grid, say developers of the project, which broke ground early this month. It’s expected to provide #energyjustice, environmental and #resilience benefits. John Walkey Sari Kayyali GreenRoots, Inc. https://lnkd.in/gMx_fcWG

📝 New notes in my post: how to develop a digital twin ecosystem that enhances the overall effectiveness of each technology component. The integration of each system amplifies its strengths and how a dynamic architecture enables intelligent distributed models to function optimally. In my opinion, the evolution of implementing digital twins lies in the ability to connect different digital twins through standars and interoperable mechanisms. For instance, in a city, this can streamline urban planning, enhance public safety, and optimize resource management by allowing various municipal systems to interact seamlessly. https://lnkd.in/dXa2s_SH #digitaltwins #ecosystem #digitalarchitecture
