Recently, energy consumption for heating costs, which is 35% of smart farm energy costs, has increased, requiring energy consumption efficiency, and the importance of new and renewable energy is increasing due to concerns about the realization of electricity bills. Renewable energy belongs to hydropower, wind, and solar power, of which solar energy is a power generation technology that converts it into electrical energy, and this technology has less impact on the environment and is simple to maintain. In this study, based on the greenhouse heat storage tank and heat pump data, the factors that affect the heat storage tank are selected and a heat storage tank supply temperature prediction model is developed. It is predicted using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), which is effective for time series data analysis and prediction, and XGBoost model, which is superior to other ensemble learning techniques. By predicting the temperature of the heat pump heat storage tank, energy consumption may be optimized and system operation may be optimized. In addition, we intend to link it to the smart farm energy integrated operation system, such as reducing heating and cooling costs and improving the energy independence of farmers due to the use of solar power. By managing the supply of waste heat energy through the platform and deriving the maximum heating load and energy values required for crop growth by season and time, an optimal energy management plan is derived based on this.

This paper reconsiders established power conservation models for ubiquitous sensor networks that use relay nodes instead of direct communication and proposes novel network power consumption model with consideration of the channel level and radio chip level simultaneously. We estimate the effect of minimum hop-count policy in terms of network power consumption through simulation of various situations for low power RF module CC2420. It is observed that maximum RF power and minimum hop-count results in lower energy consumption relatively. Also, in total network energy consumption, which is included re-transmission, minimum hop count policy presents decrease by 33.1% of energy consumption in compare with the conventional model.

센서 네트워크는 제한된 에너지를 가지는 작은 노드들로 구성이 된다. 제한된 자원을 가지는 센서 네트워크에서 저 전력에 대한 연구는 핵심 분야로써, 다양한 연구가 진행 중이다. 센서 네트워크에서 에너지 효율을 높이는 방법들이 많이 연구되고 있다. 센서 네트워크에서 가장 큰 에너지 손실을 가져오는 부분은 통신 부분이며, 질의 기반 센서 네트워크에서는 질의를 배포하게 될 때 에너지 소비의 주요 요소들이 발생하게 된다. 따라서, 본 논문은 베이스스테이션으로 다중 질의를 요청할 때 질의 합성을 통해 전달되는 질의 수를 최소화하여 질의의 배포에 따른 에너지 소비 요소를 줄이는데 그 목적이 있다. 질의는 조건절에서 특정 속성에 대해서 판별하는데, 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 속성에 따라 질의를 합성하여 원본 질의의 개수보다 적게 하는 것이다. 제안 알고리즘을 통해 합성된 질의가 센서 노드에게 전해지는 과정에서 데이터의 송수신 횟수 및 overhead를 줄일 수 있으며, 또한 센서 노드는 합성된 질의로 센싱 횟수를 줄 일 수 있어 에너지 효율을 높일 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법과 일반적인 방법을 비교하기 위해 에너지 소모 절감 예를 살펴봤다.

The cloud computing paradigm introduced pay-per-use models in which IT services can be created and scaled on-demand. However, service providers are still concerned about the constraints imposed by their physical infrastructures. In order to keep the required QoS and achieve the goal of upholding the SLA, virtualized resources must be efficiently consolidated to maximize system throughput while keeping energy consumption at a minimum. Using ANN, we propose a predictive SLA-aware approach for consolidating virtualized resources in a cloud environment. To maintain the QoS and to establish an optimal trade-off between performance and energy efficiency, the server's utilization threshold dynamically adapts to the physical machine's resource consumption. Furthermore, resource-intensive VMs are prevented from getting underprovisioned by assigning them to hosts that are both capable and reputable. To verify the performance of our proposed approach, we compare it with non-optimized conventional approaches as well as with other previously proposed techniques in a heterogeneous cloud environment setup.

Even though global warming and humid climate have resulted in an increase of use of dehumidifiers, they are not becoming more common because of high energy consumption. Furthermore, conventional dehumidifier technology finally reaches the limit to increase energy efficiency of water collection. As an alternative, nature-inspired technology may lead to a major breakthrough in the dehumidification performance. In order to improve the efficiency of dehumidifiers, we first analyze the energy consumption of commercial dehumidifiers and then study bioinspired water collection methods adopted by Namib beetles and grass.

This study presents a sustainable design method to optimize the embodied energy and $CO_2$ emission complying with the design code for reinforced concrete column. The sustainable design method effectively achieves the minimization of the environmental load and energy consumption whereas the conventional design method has been mostly focused on the cost saving. Failure of reinforced concrete column exhibits compressive or tensile failure mode against an external force such as flexure and compression; thus, optimization analyses are conducted for both failure modes. For the given sections and reinforcement ratios, the optimized sections are determined by optimizing cost, embodied energy, and $CO_2$ emission and various aspects of the sections are thoroughly investigated. The optimization analysis results show that 25% embodied energy and 55% $CO_2$ emission can be approximately reduced by 10% increase in cost. In particular, the embodied energy and $CO_2$ emission were more effectively reduced in the tensile failure mode rather than in the compressive failure mode. Consequently, it was proved that the sustainable design method effectively implements the concept of sustainable development in the design of reinforced concrete structure by optimizing embodied energy consumption and $CO_2$ emission.

In this paper, we addressed the node positioning method for minimizing the sensing energy consumption in wireless sensor networks with adjustable sensing ranges. It is necessary for minimizing the sensing energy consumption to minimize the overlapped sensing area by neighboring nodes. To find a optimal node position, we derived a optimal equations by using the overlapped areas, each node's radiuses and expended angles of opposite neighboring nodes. Based on it, we devised a new node positioning method, called as ASRC(Adjustable Sensing Ranges Control). Unlike existing condition based model, our proposed method was derived from mathematical formula, and we confirmed its validity of sensing energy consumption through simulations.

수많은 센서들로 이루어진 센서 네트워크에서는 노드의 제한된 에너지로 인해, 에너지 효율적 사용이 중요한 이슈이다. 따라서 에너지 효율적인 라우팅을 위하여 많은 알고리즘이 연구되고 있다. 이들 알고리즘들 중 클러스터링 기법은 센서 노드가 싱크와 직접 통신하는 방법이 아닌 클러스터 헤드로 선출된 노드와 통신하여 클러스터 헤드가 센싱된 정보를 모아 싱크에 보냄으로써 에너지 소비를 줄이게 된다. 이 기법은 클러스터 헤드 선정이 무엇보다도 중요한 이슈이다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 잔존 에너지의 양과 노드의 상대적 위치에 따라 클러스터 헤드를 선출함으로써 에너지 효율을 최적화 시킬 수 있는 기법을 제안한다.

This study presents a sustainable design method that optimizes the embodied energy of concrete beam based on the concept of sustainable development that effectively utilizes natural resource and energy within the range that our succeeding generation can afford to utilize. In order to get the flexural strength carrying the ultimate load, concrete beam sections are designed by optimization that consists of the embodied energy as a objective function and the requirements of design code as constrained conditions. The sustainable design can be used to minimize the embodied energy consumed in material production, construction, operation, demolition of the infrastructure. As a result of comparison of the cost and the embodied energy optimizations based on practical beam sections, it is shown that 20% embodied energy saving and 35% $CO_2$ emission saving are achieved by sacrificing 10% cost increase. The sustainable design method provides a new effective methodology that manages the strength design concept based on cost minimization together with economic feasibility and sustainability. In addition, the method is expected to be applied to more various structural design practices.
