Increase in oil prices and building energy consumption has been a great burden for Korea which has significant energy dependence on foreign energy sources. In this context, reduction of building energy consumption, which comprises 40% of total energy consumption, is a very important issue. This research therefore empirically analyzed a hospital "P" that implemented ICT-based energy consumption and cost reduction initiative. The hospital first replaced existing water absorber for heating/cooling air and boiler for heating water with water heat storage heat pump system. This was accompanied by subscribing to different electricity price plans to maximize cost reduction. Secondly, the hospital additionally applied ICT-based optimized control algorithm that considers surrounding factors (external temperature, changes in energy demand). The analysis of these mechanisms indicate that the ICT-based energy consumption and cost reduction initiative for hospitals can reduce energy consumption by 53.6% with replacement of low-efficiency equipment and additionally by 18.2% with optimized control algorithm. The mechanisms will provide energy consumption reduction opportunities for other hospitals and buildings with high energy consumption.

The energy savings and $CO_2$ emission reductions obtainable from the situation that the Smart Grid system (SGs) is assumed to be applied in Korea up to 2030 is quantitatively analyzed with many reported data. For calculation, SGs is divided into five sectors such as Smart Transmission and Distribution (ST&D), Smart Consumer (SC), Smart Electricity Service (SES), Smart Renewable Energy (SRE) and Smart Transportation (ST). Total annual energy savings in 2030 is estimated to be approximately 103,121 GWh and this is 13.1% of total electricity consumption outlook. Based on this value, total amount of reducible $CO_2$ emissions is calculated to 55.38 million $tCO_2$, which is 17.6% of total nation's GHG reduction target. Although the contribution of energy saving due to SGs to total electricity consumption increases as years go by, that of $CO_2$ emission reduction gradually decreases. This might be because that coal fired based power generation is planned to be sharply increased and the rate of $CO_2$ emission reduction scheduled by nation is very fast. The contributable portion of five each sector to total $CO_2$ emission reductions in 2030 is estimated to be 44.37% for SC, 29.16% for SRE, 20.12% for SES, 5.11% for ST&D, and 1.24% for ST.

In this paper, we have presented a basic idea of a power shut-off client based on NFC (near field communication). For the first step of the system design, we have shown the conceptual diagrams of the hardware configuration and the software logic flow. This system can be applied to the integrated power control in home, office, school, factory, and apartment. The standby power shut-off system will bring saving in electrical energy and cost.

This paper dealt with the economic analysis on the application of shipboard LED (Light Emitting Diode) luminaires to replace incandescent and fluorescent lamps, which account for over 80 % of light source on a training or naval vessel. The rates of savings achieved in the power consumption, initial investment, maintenance cost, and fuel cost were analyzed. The break-even points and the $CO_2$ emissions were also calculated. For the training vessel, the initial investment was increased by 3.8 times, while the maintenance cost over five years was reduced by 51 %. When 40 %, 50 %, and 60 % of luminaires were turned on, the calculated break-even points were 11 months, 9 months, and 7 months, respectively. On the other hand, the initial investment was increased by 3.5 times while the maintenance cost over five years was saved by 55 % for the naval vessel. The break-even points were calculated as 15 months, 12 months, and 10 months, respectively. Moreover, the $CO_2$ emissions of the training and the naval vessels were reduced by 69 % and 65 %, respectively. From the results, it was revealed that the maintenance cost can be reduced by more than 50 %, and that the power consumption, fuel cost, and $CO_2$ emissions can be reduced by more than 60 % if LED luminaires are used on two types of vessels.

Recently, the circuits of fluorescent light-switches are separated for window-light, middle-lights, or corridor-light, etc in most offices and classrooms in this country. Although it is clean and shiny - more than standard intensity of illumination, it is common that fluorescent lights on the side of window are lighted. In this case, we can use a fluorescent light with a sensor, which is turned on and off automatically according to the amount of sunlight. I think that this plan can save energy, reduce the budget, and increase the effect of education. and so I studied on this plan.

Energy cost has been increasing rapidly to comply with environmental regulations worldwide and the manufacturing industry who consumes more than half of the total energy needs to improve their cost competitiveness considering environmental costs. Machine tools are essential elements in manufacturing industry and efforts have been made recently to increase their energy efficiency mainly by German and Japanese machine tool builders. In this paper, trends in energy saving technology are described on the hardware and software sides of peripheral equipment of machine tools. In addition, the power consumption of a machining center is measured and analyzed to develop a software-based standby strategy for energy saving with peripheral equipment of machine tools.

마이크로파 도플러 센서는 자신이 발송한 마이크로파가 반사되는 것을 직접 수신하여 주파수를 비교하기 때문에 PIR 센서의 문제점을 완전히 극복한다. 마이크로파 도플러 센서는 대부분의 주위 환경에 둔감하여 주변 온도, 먼지의 적층 여부, 때나 주변 잡음에 대하여 잘 동작한다. 본 연구에서 개발된 전기절약 시스템은 마이크로웨이브 센서로 사람 및 사물의 미세한 움직임을 실시간으로 감지하여 AC전원으로 구동되는 전등을 자동으로 On/Off 함으로써 전력소비를 최소한으로 줄여주는 전기절약형 감지센서이다. 마이크로웨이브 센서는 빛, 먼지, 대기 온도와 같은 자연적인 요소에 영향을 거의 받지 않으므로 현재 고려중인 PIR 센서보다는 오작동이 크게 낮아 좀 더 효율성이 있을 것이다. 본 시스템을 설치하고 실시한 예에서와 같이 약 60% 이상의 에너지 절감 효과가 나타났으며, 이는 공사비 대비 경제성을 계산해 봤을 때, 설치비 회수 기간은 약 1-1.5년이었다. 본 연구 결과로 개발된 마이크로파 도플러 센서는 향후 전기에너지 절감에 충분한 기여를 할 것으로 확신한다.

최근에 녹색 IT의 일환으로 IT 장비에서 소비하는 에너지 크기를 감소시킴으로써 발생하는 탄소발생률을 줄이고, 장비 운용 비용을 낮추는 연구가 각광을 받고 있다. 그에 따라 본 논문에서는 차세대 통신망의 강력한 후보로 예상되는 광 버스트 스위칭 망에서 에너지 절감 기법 중 하나인 저 전력대기 방식을 사용할 때 발생하는 에너지 소비량에 대한 수식 모델을 제안한다. 제안된 수식 모델에서는 입력되는 트래픽 패턴을 고려하여 가져갈 수 있는 상태천이확률을 구하고 이에 따른 에너지 소비량을 예측해 볼 수 있다.

Set-top Box which receives broadcasting signal and delivers it to display device such as TV usually doesn't have low-power mode, standby power mode. On the other side, most consumer electronics support standby power mode. The main reasons come from technical barriers and operational stability. Set-top box normally consumes 80~90% power of active mode even though turning off. This is much higher compared to other consumer electronics which consume less than 1W in standby power mode. However, most developed countries including Korea are enforcing the regulations which enhance energy efficiency of set-top box. This paper describes design and development of low-power set-top box. Key technologies are SoC supporting low-power mode, system hardware and software operating in separated power mode, and middleware managing the power with broadcasting system. Finally, we show energy saving expectation through development and proliferation.
