Nowadays, energy saving has become a hot topic and information and communication technology has become a major power consumer. In long term evolution advanced (LTE-A) networks, heterogeneous deployments of low-power nodes and conventional macrocells provide some new features, such as coverage extension, throughput enhancement, and load balancing. However, a large-scale deployment of low-power nodes brings substantial energy consumption and interference problems. In this paper, we propose a novel switching strategy (NS), which adaptively switches on or off some low-power nodes based on the instantaneous load of the system. It is compatible with the microcells' load balancing feature and can be easily implemented on the basis of existing LTE-A specifications. Moreover, we develop an analytical model for analyzing the performance of system energy consumption, block rate, throughput, and energy efficiency. The performance of NS is evaluated by comparison with existing strategies. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that NS not only has a low block rate, but also achieves a high energy efficiency.

To efficiently reduce on-grid energy consumption, the admission control algorithm in the hybrid energy powered cellular network (HybE-Net) with base stations (BSs) powered by on-grid energy and solar energy is studied. In HybE-Net, the fluctuation of solar energy harvesting and energy consumption may result in the imbalance of solar energy utilization among BSs, i.e., some BSs may be surplus in solar energy, while others may maintain operation with on-grid energy supply. Obviously, it makes solar energy not completely useable, and on-grid energy cannot be reduced at capacity. Thus, how to control user admission to improve solar energy utilization and to reduce on-grid energy consumption is a great challenge. Motivated by this, we first model the energy flow behavior by using stochastic queue model, and dynamic energy characteristics are analyzed mathematically. Then, fuzzy logic based admission control algorithm is proposed, which comprehensively considers admission judgment parameters, e.g., transmission rate, bandwidth, energy state of BSs. Moreover, the index of solar energy utilization balancing is proposed to improve the balance of energy utilization among different BSs in the proposed algorithm. Finally, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm performs excellently in improving solar energy utilization and reducing on-grid energy consumption of the HybE-Net.

More than 76% of the detached houses in Korea are over 20 years old. These old detached houses have poor energy efficiency. According to the 2017 Housing Census (Statistics Korea), more than 50% of low-income families live in detached houses. Therefore, the improvement of energy efficiency in old detached houses is needed from the viewpoint of energy welfare. The general method of building energy modelling for the verification of energy efficiency is based on the construction year data of "Building Design Criteria for Energy Saving" due to the cost and time involved in collecting the thermal performance data of buildings. There is poor accuracy with the deterioration of long-term aging of building materials. Also, the selection of alternatives for energy performance improvement is based on the items to be applied, not a performance improvement goal. It is difficult to calculate energy performance that reflects variations in various parameters with dynamic energy simulations. In this study, the influence of long-term aging is used to accurately predict the energy performance of old detached houses. The building energy modelling method is called ENERGY#, which is a static analysis method based on ISO13790. Energy performance is evaluated by a combination of input variables including building orientation, insulation of walls and roof, thermal performance of windows and window/wall ratio, and infiltration rate. Finally, this study provides a way to determine alternatives that meet energy performance improvement goals.

To start with, finding a sustainable method to produce sweet water and electricity by using renewable energies is one of the most important issues at this time. So, experimental and theoretical analysis of the performance of a closed solar powered still, which is jointed to photovoltaic cells and vacuum pump and equipped by nano plate, as the principle stage of zero discharge desalination process is investigated in this project. Major goal of this work is to reuse the concentrated brine of the Mobin petrochemical complex in order to produce potable, sweet water from effluent saline wastewater and generating electricity in the same time by using solar energy instead of discharging them to the environment. It is observed the increase in brackish water temperature increases the average daily production of solar desalination still considerably. Therefore, the nano plate and vacuum pump are added to augment the evaporation rate. The insolation rate, evaporation rate, the average brackish temperature, ambient temperature, density are investigated during a year 2013. In addition to obtain the capacity of solar powered still, the highest and lowest amount of water and electricity generation are reported during a twelvemonth (2013). Results indicate the average daily production is increased 16%, which represents 7.78 kW.h energy saving comparing with traditional solar still.

Nowadays, adsorption chillers have been receiving considerable attention, as they are energy saving and environmentally benign systems. A fin tube type heat exchanger in which adsorption/desorption takes place is required with more compact size. The adsorption chiller is expected to have high energy efficiency in utilizing the waste heat exhausted from a process. The objectives of this paper are to scrutinize the effect of design parameters on the adsorption performance, especially the fin pitch of the fin tube, and to develop an optimal design fin tube heat exchanger in a silica gel/water adsorption chiller. From the numerical results, the fin pitch of 2.5 mm shows the highest adsorption rate, compared to other fin pitches, such as 5 mm, 7.5 mm and 10mm. Also, the adsorption rate is affected by the cooling water and hot water temperature.

The purpose of this study is to determine the optimum slat angle of the venetian blind which was applied at an outer skin of a curtain-wall system. The evaluation of the blind slat angle was performed in terms of the comfortable visual environment and decreased energy consumption. The office building prototype was considered for the analysis and simulation variables include application of blind, blind slat angle and dimming control of lighting. The annual energy consumption and incidence rate of discomfort glare were analyzed using EnergyPlus which is developed by the U. S. Department of Energy for the detailed building energy simulation. As a result, it turns out that when the blind (reflectance: 0.5) was installed, the annual energy consumption was greater than that of the base model. However, when the dimming control was applied, the maximum energy saving of 16.3% could be achieved at a slat angle of $0^{\circ}$. In addition, in case of the base model, the incidence rate of discomfort glare was 84%, while the case of the blind with the slat angle of $0^{\circ}$ showed that the incidence rate of discomfort glare was 42.4%. Consequently, the results showed that the slat angle of $55^{\circ}$ with dimming control was the optimum strategy for the comfortable visual environment and decreased energy consumption.

제3자재원조달 계약의 과정이 1단계 신호발생 게임과 2단계 주인-대리인 게임 등 2단계 게임 모형을 통해 분석된다. 2단계 게임의 해는 역진귀납법을 통해 구해진다. 2단계 게임에서, 에너지절약기업의 최적 노력수준, 에너지 사용자의 최적 보상 체계, 그리고 두 경기자의 보수는 각각의 부분게임에서 도출된다. 이렇게 해서 도출된 각각의 부분게임의 최적해는 서로 비교된다. 그 결과 우리는 만약 에너지절약기업의 수입을 감소하는 비율로 증가시키는 누진적인 판매세와 같은 에너지절약기업의 수입에 대한 제약이 존재한다면, 최적 분배 비율은 선형 보상 체계에서 'I'보다 작은 수준에서 유일하게 결정된다는 것을 알게 되었다. 즉 유일한 균형이 존재한다는 것이다. 부분게임 각각의 경우에 대한 자기충족적인 유일한 균형은 분리균형인 바, 이 균형에서 에너지사용자는 높은 기술수준을 보유하고 있는 에너지절약기업(H형 ESCO)의 에너지진단 제안은 받아들이되, 낮은 기술수준을 보유한 에너지절약기업(L형 ESCO)의 진단제안은 거절한다. L형 ESCO는 제3자 재원조달 시장에서 수익을 창출할 수 없게 된다. 반면, H형 ESCO는 L형과 H형의 진단수수료의 차이만큼 수익을 얻게 된다. 따라서 H형 ESCO의 균형에서의 수익은 자신의 기술수준뿐만 아니라 L형보다 더 빠르게 진보된 기술수준을 통해서 증가하게 된다. 에너지사용자는 어떠한 추가비용을 지출하지도 않으면서 기존 자신의 에너지시스템에서 ESCO가 3자재원조달 임무를 하도록 허용함으로써 일정분의 수익을 얻게 된다.

생물학적 하수처리공정에서 안정적인 방류수질 확보와 처리 비용을 적게 하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 하지만 유입수 유량 및 성분 농도의 변화와 미생물의 비선형적인 동특성, 기타 환경 요인에 의해서 최적의 운전 제어를 하기가 쉽지 않기 때문에, 기존의 하수처리장에서는 필요한 양 이상의 폭기 및 화학물질을 과량 주입하는 방법 등을 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 포기조에서 미생물에 필요한 용존산 소농도를 유지함과 동시에 과폭기로 인한 전력 비용을 감소할 수 있는 최적 제어 방법을 제안하였다. 최적 제어를 위하여 실시간 미생물 호흡률 측정기(Oxygen uptake rate, OUR)을 이용하여 측정하였고, 실시간 호흡률 측정값을 바탕으로 현재 미생물에 필요한 최적 DO 농도를 제안하였으며, 이에 따라 공기송풍기가 자동제어될 수 있도록 구성하였다. 최적 제어 방법을 통하여 하수처리장 포기조의 공기 송풍량에 소요되는 전력비용을 절감할 수 있었다.
