  • Demands for housing has diversified recently due to low birth rate and the growth of aging population. Also, a share of idle houses and obsolete houses over 20 years old is gradually rising. Therefore, there is a need for a sustainable, environment-friendly improvement policy that is in line with a new housing paradigm and avoids full-scale new construction, such as a customized housing renovation plan considering local economic circumstances. Therefore, afforestation system applicable to buildings are assessed positively, but lack objective performance evaluation. Through one-year, long-term monitoring of replicated obsolete buildings that have poor insulation performance, this study calculated monthly average power consumption and analyzed power charges by applying pricing plans before and after the revision of progressive tax in order to examine economic effects expected by applying the afforestation system. In the obsolete buildings, the study showed that monthly average power consumption was reduced by 16.6kWh with 5.2% average reduction rate. Highest reduction was made in July at 11.3%. Aggregate monthly power consumption charges were relatively high in winter before and after the revision of progressive tax. Power charges reduction effect was highest in March when monthly power consumption was reduced to 300kWh level by applying the afforestation system.

  • While most of researches on the performance of high temperature grain dryer have dealt mainly with improving dryer capacity and drying speed during the last twenty years, energy efficiency, in fact, has not been emphasized. Current fuel supplies and energy cost have shifted the emphasis to reducing the energy consumption for grain drying while maintaining dryer capacity and grain quality. Since the energy input for drying is relatively large, the recovery and reuse of at least part of the exhaust energy can significantly reduce the total energy consumption in existing drying systems. Unilization of exhaust heat in grain dryer either through direct recycling or by a thermal coupling in heat exchanger have been subject of a number of investigators. However, very seldom research in Korea has been done in this area. Three drying tests(non-recycling, 0.22 recycle ratio, and 0.76 recycle ratio)were performed to investigate the thermal efficiency and heat loss factors of continuous flow type dryer, and to analyze the effect of recycle ratio (weight of exhaust air recycled/total weight of input air) on the energy requriements for rough rice drying. The test results showed that when the exhaust air was not recycled, the energy lost from furnace was 15.3 percent of input fuel energy, and latent and sensible heat of exhaust air were 61.4 percent and 11.2 percent respectively. The heat which was required in raising grain temperature and stored in dryer was relatively small. As the recycle ratio of exhaust air was increased, the drying rate was suddenly decreased, and thermal efficiency of the kerosene burner was also decreased. Drying test with 0.76 recycle ratio resulted in 12.4% increase in fuel consumption, and 38.4% increase in electric power consumption as compared to the non-recycled drying test. Drying test of 0.22 recycle ratio resulted in 6.8% saving in total energy consumption, 8.0% reduction in fuel consumption, and 2.5% increase in electric power consumption as compared to the non-recycled drying test.

  • 온실가스 감축을 위한 단기 정책으로는 기존의 고효율 에너지 기기의 보급을 촉진하고 에너지 효율을 개선하는 에너지 효율개선, 에너지 절약사업에 투자를 활성화하는 것 등이 포함된다. 장기적으로는 기술개발이 핵심정책이다. 에너지수요의 저감을 위해서는 에너지 효율이 향상된 기기와 공정이 개발되어야 한다. 에너지 공급측면에서 온실가스 감축정책은 태양광, 풍력, 지열, 바이오매스 등과 같은 신재생에너지와 원자력과 같은 온실가스를 거의 배출하지 않는 저배출 에너지원의 공급을 확대하여 화석연료를 대체하는 것이다. 에너지 소비측면에서 온실가스 감축대책은 에너지 효율향상 정책과 맥을 같이 한다. 산업과 건물부문에서 에너지 다소비사업장, 건물 등에 대한 자발적 협약을 강화하고, 에너지 절약시설에 대한 투자를 강화하는 정책을 시행해야 할 것이다.

  • The reduction of recovery time for delay, in the train movements, is generally realized through train operations in the shortest running time and it leads to maximum energy consumption. At the region of this shortest running time, the amount of energy consumption is sharply reduced according to the running time. So the effect for the energy savings can be largely obtained by furnishing a little spare time on train operations. In this paper, it has been modelized the delay and it's enlargement phenomena and formualted the relief patterns in order to restore the delay by restraint and relief of precedent traints. Also it has been proved the number of relief trains for minimum energy consumption exists and then represented one example of relief patterns.

  • 최근의 내장형 프로세서를 설계하는데 있어서는 성능 못지 않게 에너지 효율성이 중요하게 고려되어야 한다. 내장형 프로세서에서 소모되는 에너지의 상당 부분은 캐쉬 메모리에서 소모되는 것으로 알려지고 있다. 특히 1차 명령어 캐쉬는 거의 매 사이클마다 접근이 이루어지므로 상당히 많은 양의 동적 에너지를 소모하게 된다. 그러므로, 내장형 프로세서를 설계하는데 있어서 1차 명령어 캐쉬의 에너지 효율성을 높이는 기법은 프로세서의 총 에너지 소모를 줄여주는 결과로 이어질 것으로 기대된다. 본 논문에서는 내장형 프로세서에 적합한 저전력 1차 명령어 캐쉬를 설계하는 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안하는 기법은 명령어 캐쉬를 여러 개의 작은 서브 캐쉬들로 분할하는 기법을 통해 명령어 접근 시 활성화되는 캐쉬의 크기를 줄임으로써 1차 명령어 캐쉬에서 소모되는 동적 에너지를 감소시켜 준다. 또한, 하나의 서브 캐쉬 크기를 페이지 크기와 동일하게 함으로써 캐쉬 내에서 태그가 차지하는 칩 공간을 없애고, 태그 비교에 소모되는 에너지도 없애는 효과를 얻는다. 제안하는 1차 명령어 캐쉬는 물리적인 접근 시간 감소를 통해 캐쉬 분할로 인한 성능 저하를 최대한 줄이고, 에너지 감소 효과는 최대로 얻고자 한다. 모의 실험 결과, 제안하는 구조는 기존의 1차 명령어 캐쉬 구조와 비교하여 명령어 접근에 소모되는 동적 에너지를 평균 $37%{\sim}60%$ 감소시키는 결과를 보인다.

  • The earlier studies have analyzed theoretical links between nuclear energy and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions concerning territorial (or production-based) emissions. Here using the latest available dataset, this study explores the impacts of nuclear energy on production-based and consumption-based CO2 emission in the era of globalization for the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. The Driscoll-Kraay regression method reveals that nuclear energy is beneficial for the reduction of production-based CO2 emissions. However, it is revealed that nuclear energy does not reduce consumption-based CO2 emissions that are traded internationally and hence not comprised in conventional production-based emissions (territory) inventories. Globalization tends to reduce both production-based and demand-based carbon emissions. Finally, Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) is validated for both kinds of CO2 emissions. The findings may deliver practical policy implications related to nuclear energy and CO2 emissions for selected countries.

  • With the massive demand and growth of cloud computing, virtualization plays an important role in providing services to end-users efficiently. However, with the increase in services over Cloud Computing, it is becoming more challenging to manage and run multiple Virtual Machines (VMs) in Cloud Computing because of excessive power consumption. It is thus important to overcome these challenges by adopting an efficient technique to manage and monitor the status of VMs in a cloud environment. Reduction of power/energy consumption can be done by managing VMs more effectively in the datacenters of the cloud environment by switching between the active and inactive states of a VM. As a result, energy consumption reduces carbon emissions, leading to green cloud computing. The proposed Efficient Dynamic VM Scheduling approach minimizes Service Level Agreement (SLA) violations and manages VM migration by lowering the energy consumption effectively along with the balanced load. In the proposed work, VM Scheduling for Efficient Dynamically Migrated VM (VMS-EDMVM) approach first detects the over-utilized host using the Modified Weighted Linear Regression (MWLR) algorithm and along with the dynamic utilization model for an underutilized host. Maximum Power Reduction and Reduced Time (MPRRT) approach has been developed for the VM selection followed by a two-phase Best-Fit CPU, BW (BFCB) VM Scheduling mechanism which is simulated in CloudSim based on the adaptive utilization threshold base. The proposed work achieved a Power consumption of 108.45 kWh, and the total SLA violation was 0.1%. The VM migration count was reduced to 2,202 times, revealing better performance as compared to other methods mentioned in this paper.

  • Purpose: As the energy consumed by buildings increases, there is a growing need for studies and technology development to address this issue. One of the solutions to excessive energy use by buildings is the light-shelf, which is a natural lighting system enabling efficient reduction in light energy, and research in this area has been intensive. However, most of the studies about the light-shelf are limited to the light environment, and thus the application of their findings to an actual environment in the form of a design may be problematic. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is to provide fundamental data for light-shelf design by carrying out a light-shelf performance evaluation on the basis of the light environment and the heating and cooling environment. Method: In the present study, a testbed was established to conduct a light-shelf performance evaluation by measuring the electric power consumption of lighting and heating and cooling devices depending on the existence of a light-shelf and its angle. Result: The findings of the present study are as follows: 1) With respect to the uniformity of the indoor light environment amenity, the optimum angle of a light-shelf was found to be $30^{\circ}$ for the summer solstice and the winter solstice. 2) With respect to the reduction of electric power consumption by indoor lighting devices, the optimum light-shelf angle at the summer solstice is $30^{\circ}$, at which time electric power consumption may be reduced by 10.2% in comparison with when no light-shelf is applied. However, at the winter solstice, a light-shelf may increase the energy consumption for lighting in comparison with when no light-shelf is applied, and this should be taken into account in the design of a light-shelf. 3) In terms of reducing the electric power consumption of heating and cooling devices, the optimum angle of a light-shelf was found to be $30^{\circ}$ for the summer solstice, while a light-shelf is inappropriate for the winter solstice since a light-shelf creates shade and thus increases the heating energy consumption. 4) To summarize the findings above, the optimum angle of a light-shelf is $30^{\circ}$ for the summer solstice, but the installation of a light-shelf may in some circumstances increase the energy consumed by lighting devices as well as by heating and cooling devices. Therefore, more studies and technology development may need to be performed to solve the problem of increased energy consumption at the winter solstice.
