Normally-Off Computing

Edited by Takashi Nakada, Hiroshi Nakamura ...

Series series Computer Science (R0)
As a step toward ultimate low-power computing, this book introduces normally-off computing, which involves inactive components of computer systems being aggressively powered off with the help of new non-volatile memories (NVMs). Because the energy consumption of modern information devices strongly depends on both hardware and software, co-design and co-optimization of hardware and software are ... Read more

Germany’s Energiewende to Renewables

by Craig Morris, Arne Jungjohann ...

Series series Social Sciences (R0)
This book outlines how Germans convinced their politicians to pass laws allowing citizens to make their own energy, even when it hurt utility companies to do so. It traces the origins of the Energiewende movement in Germany from the Power Rebels of Schönau to German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s shutdown of eight nuclear power plants following the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident. The authors explore ... Read more

The Energy Return on Investment

by Pedro A. Prieto, Charles A. S. Hall ...

Series series Energy (R0)
The Energy Return on Energy Invested (EROI or EROEI) is the amount of energy acquired from a particular energy source divided by the energy expended, or invested, in obtaining that energy. EROI is an essential and seemingly simple measure of the usable energy or “energy profit” from the exploitation of an energy source, but it is not so easy to determine all of the energy expenditures that should ...
