- Energy consumption -
My old computer was running 24/7 all year around. The table show calculated power consumption with old computer.
Energy consumption - calculation =================================================== OLD Computers power consumption ....... 158W 19" TFT-Monitor ....................... 48W =================================================== Total 206W Power consumption equals 0,206KW * 24h * 365days = 1804,60 KWh |
New calculation
Since the wx-server project is moved inside a LINKSYS WRT54GL router running DD-WRT firmware and 'Digitemp' software. My computer does not need to run 24/7 365days/year any more. This means loots of energy saving!
Energy Consumption - New calculation =================================================== NEW Computers power consumption ....... 28W 19" TFT-Monitor ....................... 48W =================================================== Total 76W Power consumption equals 0,076KW * 4h * 365days = 111 KWh NEW LINKSYS WX-Sulotion ............... 6W =================================================== Total 6W Power consumption equals 0,006KW * 24h * 365days = 52,5 KWh Total Power consumption = 163,5 KWh |
- Old Cost -
My old computer was running 24h / day all year around, Total cost = 1804,60 x 1,32 Skr** - equals 2382 Skr** each year. ($US 294)**
- New Cost -
My new computer is now running only 4h / day all year around and my new LINKSYS WX-sulotion is running 24h / day al year around. Total cost = 163,5 x 1,32 Skr** - equals 215,80 Skr** each year. ($US 26,6)**
**Note 8,10 Skr (Swedish krona) equals 1 $US (Today 28.11.2008)
