In this paper, we propose a new power-saving mechanism (PSM) for Long-Term Evolution (LTE) systems by considering a round-trip delay between a user equipment (UE) and its correspondence node. The proposed PSM changes the order of the operational procedures of the legacy LTE PSM by taking the traffic arrival pattern suffering the round-trip delay into account. After modeling the round-trip delay, we numerically analyze the proposed PSM with respect to energy consumption and buffering delay. Then, we characterize these performances by employing a simple energy-delay tradeoff (EDT) curve according to the operational parameters. The resulting EDT curve clearly shows that the proposed PSM outperforms the legacy LTE PSM in terms of both the energy consumption and buffering delay.

The grinding efficiencies of silica powder in a small scale stirred ball mill were investigated by energy consumption estimate. Comparing with a non-treated silica powder and a heating treated silica powder, it was found that a silica powder cooled in room temperature after heating treatment at 600∼900$^{\circ}C$ consumed lower grinding energy than non-treated silica powder, and a silica powder quenched after heating treatment consumed lower grinding energies about 52∼62%, in case of dry grinding. Additionally, if heating treated silica powder grind in wet method, energy consumption will be decreased about 40% than in dry grinding, and the dependency of the particle size to the grinding efficiency, quenching significantly improved it.

매년 증가되는 전력소비량에 대응하여 스마트그리드 기술을 기반으로 수용가 측의 에너지관리 중요성이 부각되고 있으며, 홈 에너지관리시스템(HEMS, Home Energy Management System)은 전기요금 절감과 효율적인 전력소비의 중요한 체계로써 기대되고 있다. 일반적으로, 가정에서 높은 전력소비를 가진 가전제품은 계절성 부하로 전기온수기, 냉/난방기를 일컫는다. 즉, 계절성 부하에 적절한 에너지관리, '최적부하 스케줄링'은 전기요금 절감과 직결되는 것을 의미한다. 본 논문은 Modified Branch-and-Bound 기법을 사용하여 사용자의 편의성을 고려한 전기온수기(EWH, Electric Water Heater)의 스케줄링을 실시하겠다. 여기서 사용자의 편의성이란, 외부의 온도변화 또는 습관에 따라 그 부하를 사용하는 것을 의미한다. 온수사용량, 수온 설정온도 변화의 편의성 제약조건을 고려하여 온수기를 효과적으로 운영하는 스케줄링을 실시한다. 이러한 편의성 내에서 온수기를 운영하며, 작동모드는 3가지(정지, 일반/급속가열) 모드가 존재하며, 다양한 요금제도에서의 스케줄링 결과를 절감된 전기요금으로 비교하겠다.

PMV, $CO_2$ and the energy consumption performance were numerically investigated in a large space with air-conditioning systems of four type. The numerical results showed that thermal comforts in the occupied zone are nearly similar in three systems except 3-way wall type system air-conditioner with ventilation system installed 2.2m height from the bottom. In case of 3-way wall type system air-conditioner the energy consumption for cooling loads was reduced about 25.5% compared to other air-conditioning systems. From the viewpoint of IAQ, it was turned out that system air-conditioner with ventilation system became worse about 20% compared to central air-conditioning systems for cooling load. The PMV, $CO_2$ concentration and energy consumption of all systems for heating loads were similar in a large space considered.

Since increase in energy consumption and environmental issues started to grab global attention, various countries have had their own supporting policy to promote supply of renewable energy which is a stable and eco-friendly energy source. This study analyses Korean Renewable Portfolio Standard by comparative analysis of current policies in major countries in respect of design components of a pragmatic industrial policy system, such as political leadership, policy coordination and consultative committee discussion, and policy enforcement with responsibility and transparency. This is to identify problems and to present political suggestions for successful management of the standard based on a fundamental concept of the pragmatism industrial policy. It is predicted that the strategic cooperation between a market and a government leads to industry development as the relationships of two parties are regarded not as antagonistic but as complementary.

Many researches had been gone about method to track moving object using wireless sensor network. We examined tradeoffs that exist between quantity of energy and correctness of tracking, and we confirmed that can get more energy sayings through improved motion prediction method. The consumed energy in the tracking is used by sensor node for sensing the object, and tracking correctness is a differ once of actual object position from calculated value by sensing. Some tracking methods and controlling parameters causes a variation of tracking correctness and energy consuming, we can get best energy effectiveness by motion prediction algorithm. Furthermore, we get better tracking quality and energy effectiveness through using a motion prediction algorithm that consider acceleration. By the simulation, we know that if we use an accurate motion prediction algorithm, node activation range that is used for target's predicted position should be restricted to sensing range of sensor is better.

Since data centers are places that provide IT services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, data center power consumption is expected to increase to approximately 10% by 2030, and the introduction of high-density IT equipment will gradually increase. In order to ensure the stable operation of IT equipment, various types of research are required to conserve energy in cooling and improve energy management. This study proposes the following process for energy saving in data centers. We conducted CFD modeling of the data center, proposed an artificial intelligence-based thermal environment prediction model, compared actual measured data, the predicted model, and the CFD results, and finally evaluated the data center's thermal management performance. It can be seen that the predicted values of RCI, RTI, and PUE are also similar according to the normalization used in the normalization method. Therefore, it is judged that the algorithm proposed in this study can be applied and provided as a thermal environment prediction model applied to data centers.

A series of experiments were carried out in winter to investigate the indoor thermal environment in greenhouses with different kinds of heating systems, and characterize the energy consumption, heat transport and thermal energy efficiency of each system. By the Quantitative calculation of heat losses which transmit through the covers of greenhouse, the fundamental data of energy-saving of the particular heating system were obtained. And from the analysis of air temperature differences between indoor and outside, it was possible to select more effective energy-saving and comfortable heating system in greenhouses. The electric heater was more stable in thermal environment and cheaper in cost, since it could be used during the surplus time of electric power from 10：00 p.M. to 8：00 A.M. But the low air temperature in greenhouses besides these times resulted in a chilling problem of the crops. The heating system by hot air had the advantage to show nearly uniform temperature difference by the height above the ground. But the system had the disadvantage to require more energy consumption than the electric heating system.

Railroad is considered as an eco-friendly transportation mode because it emits lower greenhouse gases and air pollutants and consumes less energy compared to trucking. To promote rail freight, many countries have implemented various policies, while South Korea has implemented few substantial policies. This study aims to compare and analyze rail freight policies of various countries in order to suggest policy implications to South Korea. We analyze relevant policies of 9 countries; these are classified into 5 categories, and we provide policy implications for facilitating rail freight infrastructure and equipments, grants for the transportation cost using freight rail, and road freight restriction policy.

대표적인 에너지원인 석유는 매장량 및 매장지역이 한정되어 있으며, 환경오염, 연료공급 등의 문제를 안고 있다. 에너지의 대부분을 수입하고 있는 우리나라는 경제성장 및 소득수준 향상으로 에너지 소비량이 증가하면서, 국제유가 상승은 국가 경제에도 큰 악영향을 미치고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 화석연료인 석유를 대체하기 위하여 최근 차세대 대체에너지에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 청정연료인 디메틸에테르(Dimethyl Ether : DME)의 사용방안에 대한 기술개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 정부(지식경제부)에서는 DME 보급을 위한 기본계획에서 3단계의 보급계획에 따라 2013년까지 DME를 상용화하겠다는 목표를 발표한바 있다. 그래서 2007년부터 2009년까지 2년간 정부 주관 하에 한국가스공사 등이 1단계 DME 보급을 위한 실증연구를 수행하였다. 1단계 실증연구를 통해 DME-LPG 혼합연료에 대한 품질 및 안전기준을 마련하였으며, DME를 일반 가정 및 상업용으로 시범보급 할 수 있는 특례고시가 2009년 11월에 제정되었다. 현재 제정된 DME-LPG 시범보급 특례고시에 따라 2009년 12월부터 2011년 11월까지 2년간 2단계 시범보급 연구가 진행되고 있다. 2단계 시범보급연구에서는 한국가스공사외 3개 기관이 함께 참여하여 연구를 수행하고 있다. 시범보급에서는 DME-LPG 혼합연료를 일반 가정 및 상업용으로 직접 소비자에게 시범적으로 보급하는 만큼, DME-LPG 혼합연료가 LPG 연료에 비해서 연소효율이 어느 정도 수준인지를 비교하는 것이 매우 중요한 사항이므로 본 실험에서는 가정 및 상업용으로 사용되는 연소기기를 대상으로 LPG 및 DME-LPG 혼합연료에 대해 연소효율을 측정하는 실험을 수행하였다.
