Abstract: | 5G enables engineers to invent new devices and solve societal problems in a wide variety of fields. These devices increase the already growing worldwide data flow. To compensate for this demand for fast networking, data centers have to be improved. By combining existing studies and technology predictions a reasoned system dynamics model is designed to prepare the needed electricity infrastructure and use the existing power grid, efficiently. It is filled with data from various studies and estimates future Co2 emissions. This raises awareness of the correlation between internet usage and climate pollution. |
