utility grids to electronic systems to how many steps
I need to take to accomplish three tasks in different
parts of the house...guess how I learned about all
this stuff? Figure 1 shows the exact moment I found
out, ironically from a client paying me for work in
this very area!
Now that we are all up-to-speed on this U.S. govC

ernment-sponsored,
annual initiative, the question
remains " What can you or we (PELS) do to take
advantage of it? " For organizations like IEEE and
Power Electronics Society (PELS), it seems we
should be going far above and beyond the typical
steps like turning off extra lights and replacing inefficient
light bulbs, shutting down computers, unplugging
idle electronics, and more. Certainly, we can
help promote at the very least, but we are also
uniquely positioned to take it to the next level by
combining with existing initiatives such as Empower
a Billion Lives. Lots of organizations and companies
will preach about what it means by more energy efficient
or " green " or renewable, but IEEE PELS has a
higher calling to actually demonstrate these philosophies
in real-time and bring more stakeholders to the
table by showing tangible progress. This can be in the
form of replacing incandescent light bulbs or in the
form of showing a change in quality of life brought to
entire communities through these guiding philosophies
or perhaps even something like a student
STE(A)M (Science, Technology, Engineering, (Art,) &
Math) competition.
In the IEEE Future Networks Initiative (FNI), there
is an Energy Efficiency Working Group (EEWG) of the
International Network Generations Roadmap (INGR)
that has taken an original charter of documenting critical
aspects/enablers/linkages/solutions impacting
energy utilization in the 5G network and expanded it
to concepts, models, and tools that enable one to perform
truly global analyses all through the " universal
currency " of energy. This System of Systems (SoS), as
we refer to it, provides a framework for stakeholders
of any sort (i.e.-technical, business, regulatory, etc.)
to create a Power Value Chain (PVC) of any black
boxes in a network and translate their requirements
into universal metrics, which can therefore be analyzed
and optimized for energy efficiency (Figure 2).
We use metrics like Power Cost Factor (PCF) and 5G
Derate Factor (5GDF) to help quantify black boxes
and PVC analyses. This is a framework that can be
applied to any type of PVC (e.g.- connections of loads
and sources via a distribution network) even outside
of network energy analysis.
I intend to celebrate this year by promoting this
work via a tutorial at this year's Virtual IEEE Energy
Conversion Congress & Expo, 10-14 October,
among other highlights in social media, etc. Perhaps
something as simple as teaching your kids the
