In this paper, we investigate a group building based power consumption scheduling to minimize the electricity cost. We consider the demand shift to reduce the peak load and suggest the compensation function reflecting the relationship between the change of the building demand and the occupants' comfort. Using that, the electricity cost minimization problem satisfied the convexity is formulated, and the optimal power consumption scheduling algorithm is proposed based on the iterative method. Extensive simulations show that the proposed algorithm achieves the group management gain compared to the individual building operation by increasing the degree of freedom for the operation.

This study proposes a solution to the voltage drop in electric vehicle chargers, due to the parasitic resistance and inductance of power cables when the chargers are separated by large distances. A method using multi-level electric vehicle chargers that can output power in stages, without installing an additional energy supply source such as a reactive power compensator or an energy storage system, is proposed. The voltage drop over the power cables, to optimize the charging scheduling, is derived. The obtained voltage drop equation is used to formulate the constraints of the optimization process. To validate the effectiveness of the obtained results, an optimal charging scheduling is performed for each period in a case study based on the assumed charging demands of three connected chargers. From the calculations, the proposed method was found to generate an annual profit of $20,800 for a $12,500 increase in installation costs.

We investigate rate scheduling and power allocation problem for a delay constrained CDMA systems. Specifically, we determine an energy efficient scheduling policy, while each user maintains the short term (n time slots) average throughput. More importantly, it is shown that the optimal transmission strategy for the uplink is same as that of the downlink, called uplink and downlink duality. We then examine the performance of the optimum transmission strategy for the uplink and the downlink for various system environments.

센서네트워크의 전력문제를 해결할 수 있는 에너지 수집형 무선 센서네트워크 (EH-WSN)에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. EH-WSN에서는 에너지 수집과 소비의 균형을 맞추기 위한 on-off 듀티싸이클링에 관한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 그러나 환경감시를 위한 EH-WSN에서 센싱된 데이터의 긴급성과 에너지 수집율은 네트워크의 성능을 결정하는 중요한 요소가 된다. 따라서 단순히 전력의 균형 상태를 유지하는 것 이외에 센싱된 데이터의 중요도 및 에너지 수집율에 따라 듀티싸이클 주기를 조절할 필요성이 대두된다. 본 논문에서는 환경감시를 위한 EH-WSN에서 기존의 전력만을 고려한 on-off 듀티싸이클링의 문제점을 분석하고, 센싱값의 변화율 및 크기값에 의한 센싱 데이터의 우선순위 및 에너지 수집율 등을 고려하여 적응적으로 on-off 주기를 결정하는 듀티싸이클 스케줄링 기법을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 듀티싸이클 스케줄링의 성능을 분석하였다.

In this research, we consider a smart grid network of electricity with multiple consumers connected to a monopolistic provider. Each consumer can be informed the real time price changes through the smart meter and updates his consumption schedule to minimize the energy consumption expenditures by which the required power demand should be satisfied under the given real time pricing scheme. This real-time decision making problem has been recently studied through game-theoretic approach. The present paper contributes to the existing literature by incorporating storage appliance into the set of available household appliances which has somewhat distinctive functions compared to other types of appliances and would be regarded to play a significant role in energy consumption scheduling for the future smart grid. We propose a game-theoretic algorithm which could draw the optimal energy consumption scheduling for each household appliances including storage. Results on simulation data showed that the storage contributed to increase the efficiency of energy consumption pattern in the viewpoint of not only individual consumer but also whole system.

제시된 스케줄링 기법은 병렬처리 기법을 활용하여 실시간 작업들의 데드라인 제약과 결함 포용 제약을 만족하면서 멀티코어 프로세서의 에너지 소모 효율성을 향상시켰다. 최소 에너지 소모량 스케줄을 찾는 것은 NP-hard 문제이므로, 제시된 기법은 다항식의 시간 내에 최소 에너지 소모량에 근접하는 스케줄을 찾는다. 제시된 기법은 연관된 최신 기법과 비교하여 높은 병렬처리 속도는 물론 낮은 병렬처리 속도에서도 에너지 소모량이 현격하게 낮았으며, 에너지 소모량을 최대 86% 줄였다.

Increasing peak load is one of the major concerns about operation of urban railroad systems. Since ESSs (Energy Storage Systems) have a great potential for shaving the peak load, there has been a growing interest in the use of ESS for peak load reduction. Also, ESS can be optimally scheduled to minimize the electricity purchasing cost under a given ToU (Time-of-Use) tariff by taking advantage of electricity price difference between peak and off-peak time. This paper presents a Mixed Integer Programming (MIP)-based ESS scheduling method to minimize the electricity purchasing cost under a ToU tariff for an urban railroad system.

The modern transportation and mobility sector is expected to encounter high penetration of Electric Vehicles (EVs) because EVs contribute to reducing the harmful emissions from fossil fuel-powered vehicles. With the prospective growth of EVs, sufficient and convenient facilities for fast charging are crucial toward satisfying the EVs' quick charging demand during their trip. Therefore, the Fast Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (FECS) will be a similar role to gas stations. In this paper, we study a charging scheduling problem for the FECS with solar photovoltaic (PV) and an Energy Storage System (ESS). We formulate an optimization problem that minimizes the operational costs of FECS. There are two cost and one revenue terms that are buying cost from main grid power, ESS degradation cost, and revenue from the charging fee of the EVs. Simulation results show that the proposed scheduling algorithm reduces the daily operational cost by effectively using solar PV and ESS.

The objective of this study is to solve the operation scheduling problem of plural battery energy storage systems (BESS), and to find useful intonation from its result. Unlike conventional energy storage system, BESS has on hardware characteristics such as high efficiency, fast-acting response and operational loss. Considering rate constraints of thermal unit power as well as hardware characteristics of BESS, the operation scheduling has an intricated problem. In order to solve this optimization problem, we use successive approximations dynamic programming. In two types of operation, the proposed algorithm is applied to test system. one is daily optimal operation, the other weekly optimal operation.
