Methodology for Quantitative Assessment of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction of Solar-Powered Wi-Fi

In this paper, a modeling framework to quantify the reduction of potential greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions when using solar-powered Wi-Fi as an internet access point is developed and tested. This framework includes newly developed MATLAB code and the use of the ATOLL tool for energy consumption and n...
