An energy-efficient multi-hop scheme based on cooperative MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) technique is proposed for wireless sensor networks, taking into consideration the modulation constellation size, transmission distance, and extra training overhead requirement. The scheme saves energy by selecting the hop length. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme, a detailed analysis of the energy and delay efficiencies in the proposed scheme compared with the equidistance scheme is presented. Results from numerical experiments indicate that by use of the proposed scheme significant savings in terms of total energy cousumption can be achieved.

Air lubrication techniques for frictional drag reduction on ships have been proposed by numerous researchers since the 19th century. However, these techniques have not been widely adopted as questions persist about their drag reduction performance beyond the laboratory, as well as energy and economic cost-benefit. This paper draws on data from the literature to consider the suitability of air lubrication for large ocean going and U.S. Great Lakes ships, by establishing the basic energy economic calculations and presenting results for a hypothetical air lubricated ship. All the assumptions made in the course of the analysis are clearly stated so that they can be refined when considering application of air lubrication to a specific ship. The analysis suggests that, if successfully implemented, both air layer and partial cavity drag reduction could lead to net energy savings of 10 to 20%, with corresponding reductions in emissions.

This paper discusses thermal and ventilation performance which might be caused by the adoption of one of specific building facade techniques, Double Skin System(DSS). One building with a prototypical DSS was selected and systematically investigated through field monitoring and computer simulation techniques. A network model of ventilation was successfully made using COMIS to evaluate ventilation performance of the system which can hardly be done by field measurements. Various operating conditions of air conditioning on/off and window opening were implemented in this type of building. Through the appropriate operation of the DSS in summer, simulation-based and experimental results implicate that it can lead to cooling energy savings.

LEDs are becoming the most suitable candidate replacing traditional fluorescent street-light lamps because of its energy efficiency and high brightness. Furthermore, most countries are urging to pursue energy savings in conjunction with IT and sensor network. In order to conserve energy of LED lamp and ensure the safety of pedestrian, we propose a new smart control method for LED light system based on USN using compound sensors, such as illuminance, motion, temperature and humidity sensor. An elaborate simulation shows that the proposed system with a smart control based switching can reduce the energy by 40%, compared to the previous street-light system with a fixed time based switching.

최근 유가의 고공행진 때문에 한국은 해외 에너지 자원개발뿐만 아니라 에너지 소비를 줄이기 위한 국가적 정책으로 기존 설비의 에너지 효율을 증가시키는 방안을 모색하는 것이 필요한 시점이다. 따라서 본 연구는 이런 국가적 사안에 부합하고자 인천생산기지 고압 LNG 배관망에 대하여 수정유량방정식을 사용한 Newton Method로 접근하였고, 유창조절밸브(FCV)에 의해 지배적인 영향을 받는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 고압펌프는 유량조절밸브 50%의 개도율에서 최고효율을 보여 주었고, 고압배관망 내에서 배관저항곡선은 LNG 헤드가 1,500m 이상이 되어야만 토출이 가능한 것을 보였다. 고압펌프의 운전점으로부터 운전비용을 산출하였고, 최고 효율시 운전비용과 비교하여 운전비용을 절감할 수 있는 금액을 산출하였다. 특히 일간 시간대별 운전비용 절감액뿐만 아니라 연간 일별 운전비용 절감액을 산출하였으며, 그 결과 고압배관망은 연간 138백만원을 절감할 수 있다. 이것은 연간 고압펌프 1기당 9,823천원을 절감할 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 결론적으로 본 연구는 복잡한 고압 LNG 배관망에서 고압펌프의 운전특성과 운전비용 절감효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 이것은 미시적으로 생산기지의 효율적 미래운영에 대한 기여와 더불어 거시적으로 국가 에너지 경쟁력 제고에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

제조 공장은 기후 변화에 따른 에너지 사용 절감 문제에 직면해 있다. 에너지 소비 절감은 생산 비용 절감 및 효율 개선과 같이 가장 중요한 문제 중 하나로 볼 수 있다. 제조 산업 군 중에서도 식품 에너지 소비 규모 증가는 식생활 수준 향상 및 인구 증가와 더불어 점차 높아지고 있다. 식품가공공장의 에너지 절감을 위해서는 에너지 다소비 공정에서의 에너지 소비 특성을 파악하고 분석하는 것이 중요하다. 이에 앞서 기존 에너지 소비량을 모니터링하고 분석하여 절감 방안을 도출하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 육가공류를 생산하는 중소기업 규모 식품가공공장을 사례 연구로 하여 batch식 가열 공정의 주기·단계 수준에서의 에너지 소비 구조를 파악하고 분석하고자 하였다. 이를 통해 개별 공정 작업 조건에서 얻을 수 있는 현실적이고 정량적인 목표를 수립하고자 하였다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 중소기업 식품 공장 공통 핵심 공정에 대한 확산 보급형 에너지 절감 FEMS 기술 개발의 기초 자료로 활용될 것이다.

Capturing the carbon dioxide emitted from coal-fired power plants will be necessary if targeted reduction in carbon emissions is to be achieved. Modelling and simulation are the base for optimal operation and control in thermal power plant and also play an important role in energy savings. This study aims to analyze the performance of supercritical coal fired power plant through steady and dynamic simulation using a commercial software gCCS. A whole power plant has been modeled and validated with design data of 500 MWe power plant, base and part load operations of the plant were also evaluated, consequently it had been proven that the simulated result had a good agreement with actual operating data. In addition, the effect of co-firng on the plant efficiency and flue gases were investigated using gCCS simulator.

Many countries have been interested in sustainable development of buildings for environmental preservation. Thus it is significant to assess building envelopes in terms of $CO_2$ emissions owing to Kyoto Protocol. In this paper, a Double Skin Facade(DSF) installed in a general office building was assessed by $CO_2$ emissions(one of the performance-based assessment). To predict $CO_2$ emissions caused by the building energy consumption, the dynamic simulation program(Energy Plus) and $CO_2$ emission factor was used. Because DSF has various airflow regimes, pre-simulation runs were conducted to decide proximate optimal airflow regimes depending on seasonal variation. It is shown that the DSF can achieve 17.1-36.5% of annual energy savings.

This study is to develop an ammonia based chemical heat pump(STELF) for a freezing and refrigeration system coupled to gas, fuel and/or waste from industrial processes as heat sources. Recently it has been continually taking a growing interest in chemical heat pumps without electric power and having higher COP's than those of existing compression type refrigeration systems using freon. By introducing STELF technology, efficient heat recovery utilizing enormous amount of waste heat in energy consuming large scale industries or building for their own refrigeration purposes is possible. Moreover, air-conditioning systems coupled to city gas for small scale industries or building can be realized. Therefore, STELF technology can contribute much for overall energy savings and efficient energy management.

Liquid pressure amplifiers have been proposed as an energy saving technology for vapor compression refrigeration systems configured with direct-expansion evaporators. The technology utilizes a refrigerant pump in the high pressure liquid line as a means of maintaining a suitable pressure differential across the expansion valve while lowering condensing pressure to achieve the reduction of compressor energy consumption. Applications have been proposed on systems ranging from small unitary air-conditioning to large supermarket and commercial refrigeration systems. This paper clarifies the role of such a device in a vapor compression refrigeration system. Limitations are presented and discussed. Finally, results of detailed analyses are presented to quantify the energy consumption both with and without a liquid pressure amplifier in a unitary air conditioning system. The estimated energy savings associated with the installation of a liquid pressure amplifier are minimal.
