A by-pass path in wireless sensor networks is the alternative path which be able to forward data when a routing path is being broken. One reason of depleting energy is occurred by the path. The method for solving prior to addressed the problem is proposed. However, this method may deplete radio resource. The best path has advantage that network lifetime of sensor nodes is prolonged; on the contrary, in order to maintain the best path it have to share their information between the entire nodes. In this paper, we propose the best path searching algorithm in the distributed three dimensional sensor networks. Through the neighboring informations sharing in the proposed method, the proposed algorithm can decide the best k-path as well as the extension of network lifetime.

as the smartphone industry developed, the smartphone's internal hardware devices have become high-end devices and it requires more power consumption than the previous one. therefore a battery of high capacity needed, but there is a limit in order to equip a large battery on account of smartphone minimization. The Linux Kernel provides the DVFS Mechanism to compensate for these limitations by software techniques. DVFS is dynamically adjust the frequency of the CPU to reduce the power consumption of the CPU. ondemand governor, the default policy in DVFS, apply the maximum frequency of the CPU whenever exceeding the up_threshold. so it result in a waste of CPU resources. by paying attention to this point, this paper propose the mechanism that maintain a high CPU utilization in proportion to the current frequency of the cpu to prevent the waste of CPU resources and conserve energy.

In the general transmission power control model that is used for wearable sensor systems, if RSSI value gets out of the Target RSSI Margin, then the sink node finds new transmission power by using TPC(Transmission Power Control) Algorithm. At this time, the sink node sends the control packet to the sensor node for delivering the newly calculated transmission power. However, when the wireless network channel condition is poor, even it is consuming a lot of control packets, the sink node could not find an appropriate transmission power so it only waste of energy. Therefore, we proposed a new control packet transmission decision method that the sink node changes the transmission power when the wireless network channel condition is stabilized. It makes waste of energy decline. In this paper, we apply control packet transmission decision method to Binary TPC algorithms and analyze the results to evaluate the proposed method. We propose three methods that judge the state of wireless network channel. We experiment that methods and analysis the results.

Since a general household fan has only one left/right turning stage, the rotation angle cannot be adjusted leading to cases whether the wind reaches to an unnecessary area or vice versa. In this paper, we propose a method to efficiently control the turning section to selectively send wind to a necessary space while reducing energy waste. The minimum rotation angle was obtained by experimentally measured the stationary wind direction angle of the fan, and the optimal number of turning stages was selected by appropriately dividing the space where the wind reaches. Through this, it was confirmed that if the fan has a minimum rotation angle of 45°, a turning section of 3 stages and its rotation angle is increased by twice the stationary wind direction angle at each stage, the wind is distributed efficiently. Therefore, it is considered that the selective turning stage control proposed in this paper can minimize energy waste without significant change of the fan structure.

In contrast with battery-based wireless sensor networks (WSNs), solar-powered WSNs can operate for a longtime assuming that there is no hardware fault. Meanwhile, a mobile sink can save the energy consumption of WSN, but its ineffective movement may incur so much energy waste of not only itself but also an entire network. To solve this problem, many approaches, in which a mobile sink visits only on clustering-head nodes, have been proposed. But, the clustering scheme also has its own problems such as energy imbalance and data instability. In this study, therefore, a cluster-based energy-aware data-sharing scheme (CE-DSS) is proposed to effectively support a mobile sink in a solar-powered WSN. By utilizing the redundant energy efficiently, CE-DSS shares the gathered data among cluster-heads, while minimizing the unexpected black-out time. The simulation results show that CE-DSS increases the data reliability as well as conserves the energy of the mobile sink.

세계가 점차적으로 "전화(電化)"됨에 따라 전기 에너지의 효과적인 분배와 사용이 급격히 중요하게 되었다. 일반 도체를 통한 전류의 흐름은 도체의 저항에 의해 줄열을 발생시켜 전기 에너지의 손실을 일으키고 결국은 에너지와 경제적 자원의 낭비를 초래하게 된다. 초전도체의 저항은 직류 전류에서는 0, 교류 전류에서는 거의 0이기 때문에 초전도체를 이용하면 전력 소자 및 기기의 부피와 무게를 현저히 줄일 수 있는 반면에 모든 전기 시스템의 효율을 향상시킬 수 있고, 에너지 사용의 절감에 따라 환경 문제에 도움을 줄 수 있다. 사고 전류 제한기의 설계에 있어서, 권선형태에 따른 솔레노이드 마그네트와 팬케이크 마그네트를 설계, 제작하여 자장 특성 및 한류 특성을 비교 하였다. 2세대 고온 초전도 선재로 불리는 YBCO 박막형 초전도 선재를 이용하여 동작 전류 증대를 위한 다병렬 솔레노이드 마그네트와 다병렬 팬케이크 마그네트를 제작하였다. 이를 이용하여 440 V/ 630 A급 초전도 사고 전류 제한기와 2 kA 급 대전류 통전 사고 전류 제한 모듈을 설계, 제작하여 단락 특성 시험을 수행하였다. 한편, 자장 응용 기기에 적용 가능한 더블 팬케이크 마그네트를 제 2 세대 초전도선재를 이용하여 설계, 시작하였다. 2세대 선재는 1세대 선재에 비하여 20 T 이상의 외부 자장에 대한 특성이 우수하여 고자장 마그네트 시스템에 더욱 적합하다. 이에 초전도 마그네트 보호를 위한 상전도 영역 전파 실험을 수행하여 CC 선재의 안정도를 측정하였다. 또한 영구전류모드 운전과 플럭스 펌프를 통한 전류 충전에 대한 연구도 병행하였다.

In general, wireless MAC uses the ACK for reliability. Meanwhile, in wireless sensor network, data is delivered periodically and redundantly. In these situations, every ACK transmission causes the reliability flexible applications to waste some energy. IEEE 802.15.4 developed for energy efficiency has the option of using ACK or not, but there are no researches exploiting this peculiarity. In this paper, we proposed the selective unacknowledged transmission satisfying some requirements (e.g., end-to-end delivery) by removing the ACK when frames are delivered well and using the ACK when frames are delivered poorly. Also, we performed several evaluations exploiting the NS2 simulator.

It is very important for the sensor network to save battery capacity. Switching active mode to sleep mode is used for S-MAC protocol and expiring timer before end of the active part is used for T-MAC in order to extend battery life span. We proposed IS-MAC (Improved Sensor MAC) which gives more energy efficiency than S-MAC and T-MAC To improve energy efficiency in sensor network, we used the threshold value in buffer to transmit data packet and proposed the method to reduce the number of control packets which cause extra battery consumption. Based on the analytical results, we found that the proposed IS-MAC protocol shows better performance than conventional MAC protocols.

Due to the advantages of a conveniet, inexpensive installation, flexibility, and scalability, Wireless AMR systems are recently preferred over wired AMR systems. However, a multi-hop supported AMR network, which generally covers large areas, may create energy wastage problem, energy unbalance, and high interference hazard due to a large amount of concurrent-intensive metering data in the network. Therefore in this paper we propose a novel data gathering method which can solve abovementioned problems as well as conserve energy, by reducing the traffic in the network. In addition, the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme shows superior performance to the conventional data transmission method.

Liquefied natural gas undergoes a process of vaporization to be supplied as city gas, which generates about 800 kJ/kg of cold energy. Currently, all of this cold energy is being dumped into the sea, resulting in a very serious energy waste from the point of view of energy recycling. In this study, a seawater desalination process that can utilize the wasted cold energy was proposed, and this process was optimized to analyze the specific power consumption and economic feasibility. As a result, the specific energy consumption of the proposed process was calculated as -5.2kWh/m³, and the production cost of the pure water was 0.148 USD/m³, confirming that it is superior to any other process developed so far.
