Influence of embodied energy in the energy efficiency of optical transport networks
Abstract
An energy model including both operational and embodied energy is proposed to evaluate the performance evolution of optical transport networks in a multi-period study up to 15 years. Significant improvements in energy efficiency per GHz and energy reductions can be achieved for flexi-grid OFDM-based networks with respect to fixed-grid WDM ones.
