ISC Distinguished Lecture Series: “ENERGY Sustainability for Net ZERO Radio Communications”
Energy is at the centre of all our activities, and especially now, electricity stands at the basis of human survival. Nevertheless, the resources are limited and on certain occasions, we need to rely on the opportunity to have specific energy availability and energy on demand, so that sensors, emergency communications, and ICT, in general, continue to operate even if the energy grid is not there.
In this lecture, Professor Nuno Borges Carvalho discusses the electricity generation problem and how to cope with the huge demand for ICT (Information Communication Technologies) technologies. He addresses new paradigms for radio communications, and alternatives to make energy available when needed and where needed. It is expected that Net Zero Radio alternatives will be available on the market in the future.
