SThis paper proposes a new dispatch scheduling algorithm in interconnected regional system operations. The dispatch scheduling formulated as mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problem can efficiently be computed by generalized Benders decomposition (GBD) algorithm. GBD guarantees adequate computation speed and solution convergency since it decomposes a primal problem into a master problem and subproblems for simplicity. In addition, the inter-temporal optimal power flow (OPF) subproblem of the dispatch scheduling problem is comprised of various variables and constraints considering time-continuity and it makes the inter-temporal OPF complex due to increased dimensions of the optimization problem. In this paper, regional decomposition technique based on auxiliary problem principle (APP) algorithm is introduced to obtain efficient inter-temporal OPF solution through the parallel implementation. In addition, it can find the most economic dispatch schedule incorporating power transaction without private information open. Therefore, it can be expanded as an efficient dispatch scheduling model for interconnected system operation.

Exploiting the energy-delay tradeoff for energy saving is critical for developing green wireless communication systems. In this paper, we investigate the delay-constrained energy-efficient packet transmission. We aim to minimize the energy consumption of multiple randomly arrived packets in an additive white Gaussian noise channel subject to individual packet delay constraints, by taking into account the practical on-off circuit power consumption at the transmitter. First, we consider the offline case, by assuming that the full packet arrival information is known a priori at the transmitter, and formulate the energy minimization problem as a non-convex optimization problem. By exploiting the specific problem structure, we propose an efficient scheduling algorithm to obtain the globally optimal solution. It is shown that the optimal solution consists of two types of scheduling intervals, namely "selected-off" and "always-on" intervals, which correspond to bits-per-joule energy efficiency maximization and "lazy scheduling" rate allocation, respectively. Next, we consider the practical online case where only causal packet arrival information is available. Inspired by the optimal offline solution, we propose a new online scheme. It is shown by simulations that the proposed online scheme has a comparable performance with the optimal offline one and outperforms the design without considering on-off circuit power as well as the other heuristically designed online schemes.

In 3rd-generation mobile communication systems providing packet service, optimal scheduling algorithms we needed to increase service efficiency. In this paper, three scheduling algorithms (SP, EDF, and RPQ) which have been studied in the field of computer networks are applied with transmit power constraint to an interference-limited CDMA system, proving to be efficient.

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.

배터리로 동작하는 휴대용 임베디드 시스템에서 에너지 소모는 중요한 설계 파라미터이며, 동적 전력 관리는 잘 알려진 저전력 설계 기법중의 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 실시간 시스템에서 에너지를 고려한 태스크 스케줄링 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안한 스케줄링 알고리듬은 시스템에 여유 시간이 존재할 경우 장치 중첩도가 높은 태스크가 우선적으로 수행되도록 스케줄링 하여 장치의 전력 상태 전환 횟수를 줄여준다. 전력 상태 전환 횟수가 줄어들 경우 상태 전환에 따른 전력 소모가 감소하고, 동적 전력 관리의 기회를 더욱 얻을 수 있다. 실험 결과 EDF 알고리듬으로 동작 하는 시스템에서 동적 전력 관리를 한 경우와 비교하였을 때 에너지 소모가 약 23% 감소하였다.

본 논문에서는 멀티코어 프로세서 상에서 실시간 작업들의 데드라인들을 만족하면서 전력 소모량의 확률적 기대값을 최소화하는 문제를 해결하는 스케쥴링 기법을 제시하였다. 제시된 기법에서는 주어진 작업들의 불확실한 계산량을 과거의 계산량 분포에 기반하여 확률적 계산량으로 변환하고, 한정된 개수의 이산적 클락 주파수 값들을 이용하여 변환된 확률적 계산량의 전력 소모 기대 값을 최소화한다. 또한 시스템의 부하량이 적을 때에는 누수 전력을 고려하여 전체 코어들 중에서 일부의 코어들만을 사용하고 나머지 코어들의 전원을 소등시켜서 전력 소모량을 줄인다. 성능평가 실험에서 제시된 기법이 기존 방법의 전력 소모량을 최대 69%까지 감소시킴을 확인하였다.

This paper presents the power scheduling of a multi-microgrid (MMG) system using an optimization technique called particle swarm optimization (PSO). The PSO technique has been shown to be most effective at solving the various problems of the economic dispatch (ED) in a power system. In addition, a new MMG system configuration is proposed in this paper, through which the optimal power flow is achieved. Both optimization and power trading methods within an MMG are studied. The results of implementing PSO in an MMG system for optimal power flow and cost minimization are obtained and compared with another attractive and efficient optimization technique called the genetic algorithm (GA). The comparison between these two effective methods provides very competitive results, and their operating costs also appear to be comparable. Finally, in this study, power scheduling and a power trading method are obtained using the MATLAB program.

무선 센서 네트워크를 구성하는 센서 노드는 배터리 기반의 제한된 전원과 낮은 연산 능력의 초경량 마이크로프로세서, 그리고 제한된 크기의 메모리 자원 등과 같은 하드웨어 사양을 가지고 있다. 이와 같은 제약 사항에도 불구하고 무선 센서 노드는 센싱 데이터의 실시간 처리 및 데이터 송수신 작업을 동시에 병행할 수 있어야 한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 배터리 작동식의 무선 센서 노드를 위한 에너지 효율적인 실시간 태스크 스케줄링 기법을 제안하였다. 제안한 에너지 효율적인 실시간 스케줄링 가법은 태스크의 실제 실행시간이 최악 실행시간보다 작을 경우에 발생되는 태스크의 실행 여유시간을 이용하여, 마이크로프로세서의 동작 주파수를 조절하고 무선 센서 노드의 전력 소비를 줄인다. 제안한 기법의 동작을 시험한 결과, 효율적인 전력 소비를 제공함과 동시에 실시간 태스크의 마감시한이 보장됨을 확인하였다.

We investigate multi user joint rate scheduling and power allocation problem for a delay sensitive CDMA systems. First, we characterize the existing two user joint rate scheduling and power allocation. We then extend the problem to the case of the multi user systems. In general, there is no simple optimum solution for the multi user scheduling problem. To that end, we propose a sub optimum solution, termed 'virtual user approach'. We show the performance of the virtual user approach to verify the benefit of complexity.

Power line communication (PLC) is one of the major communication technologies in smart grid since it combines good communication capability with easy and simple deployment. As a power network can be modeled as a graph, we propose a vertex coloring based slot reuse scheduling in the time division multiple access (TDMA) period for PLCs. Our objective is to minimize the number of assigned time slots, while satisfying the quality of service (QoS) requirement of each station. Since the scheduling problem is NP-hard, we propose an efficient heuristic scheduling, which consists of repeated vertex coloring and slot reuse improvement algorithms. The simulation results confirm that the proposed algorithm significantly reduces the total number of time slots.
