In this paper, we proposed a smart multiple-tap system which a remote user with smartphone can control multiple-taps in order to reduce standby-power consumption more conveniently when plugged-in electric appliances are turned-off. Recently, several researches of smart multiple-tap using IoT technology has reported. However, in these researches, an additional device like as a server computer is necessary, or multiple-taps could be only remotely controlled by smartphone and not directly controlled by on/off switch. The proposed smart multiple-tap system does not need any additional device only if it has a WiFi router, and it can be used for user as well as remote control using smartphone application and physically direct control using contact switches like existing multiple-taps. Our approach is to develop a smart multiple-tap device capable of WiFi communication can each serve as a server or a client, and can be operated by the hybrid switch combining the on/off contact switch and the relay switch. We implemented the prototype of the proposed system composed of the smart multiple-tap device and the smartphone application, and the test of the prototype validates the proposed system.

The issue of hotel energy use is growing more significant as the hotel industry expands. It is important to take into account the electrical installation and space-specific features in a room unit in order to comprehend the energy consumption of a hotel guestroom. In light of this, this study aimed to analyze standby power for enhancing the energy efficiency of a hotel guestroom during check-out status. This study was conducted in three steps: (i) data collection; (ii) analysis of energy consumption patterns; and (iii) analysis of energy efficiency improvement plan. The main findings of this study can be summarized as follows. First, 32.24% of energy was used in fan coil unit) during check-out status. Second, a hotel guestroom had a 4.30% energy saving potential, based on energy consumption patterns during check-out status. This study can contribute to support hotel management to operate guestrooms differently by helping them identify patterns in energy use and realize potential savings.

In this paper, Green Mode Power IC is designed to reduce the standby power. The proposed and designed IC works for the Switch Mode Power Supply(SMPS) and has the function of PWM. To reduce the unnecessary electric power, burst mode and skip mode section are introduced and controlled by external power MOSFET to diminish the standby power. The proposed IC is designed and simulated by KEC 30V-High Voltage 0.5um CMOS Process. The structure of proposed IC is composed of voltage regulator circuit, voltage reference circuit, UVLO(Under Voltage Lock out) circuit, Ibias circuit, green circuit, PWM circuit, OSC circuit, protection circuit, control circuit, and level & driver circuit. Measuring the current consumption of each block from the simulation results, 1.2942 mA of the summing consumption current from each block is calculated and ot proved that it is within the our design target of 1.3 mA. The current consumption of the proposed IC in this paper is less than a half of conventional ICs, and power consumption is reduced to the extent of 1W in standby mode. From the above results, we know that efficiency of proposed IC is superior to the previous IC.

Due to increased integration density and reduced threshold voltages, leakage current reduction becomes important in the semiconductor IC design for low power consumption. In a combinational logic circuit, the leakage current in the standby state depends on the values of the input. In this research, we developed a new input vector control method to minimize the leakage power. A new efficient algorithm is developed to find the minimal leakage vector. It can reduce the leakage current by 15.7% from the average leakage current and by 6.7% from the results of simulated evolution method during standby or idle states for a set of benchmark circuits. The minimal leakage input vector, with idle input signal, can also reduce the leakage current by 6.8% from the average leakage current and by 3.2% from the results of simulated evolution method for sequential circuits.

Amusement park's indispensable facilities are dependent on electrical energy. So it is very important to ensure electrical power against fire, power failure, disaster and accident. To find out present problems, investigation was carried out for emergency and standby power systems at amusement park all over the country. We research the related regulations for Electrical facilities of internal standards and NEC. As a result, we could know that there is discrepancy between the electrical regulation and the actual condition.

This paper presents a fully synthesizable low power interconnect bus for millimeter-scale wireless sensor nodes. A segmented ring bus topology minimizes the required chip real estate with low input/output pad count for ultra-small form factors. By avoiding the conventional open drain-based solution, the bus can be fully synthesizable. Low power is achieved by obviating a need for local oscillators in member nodes. Also, aggressive power gating allows low-power standby mode with only 53 gates powered on. An integrated wakeup scheme is compatible with a power management unit that has nW standby mode. A 3-module system including the bus is fabricated in a 180 nm process. The entire system consumes 8 nW in standby mode, and the bus achieves 17.5 pJ/bit/chip.

Purpose: This study analyzes the operating characteristics of a lithium ion capacitor that can be used as a standby power supply in an emergency, and determines whether the standby power supply is abnormal even by measuring the voltage using a linear proportionality characteristic during charging and discharging. The aim is to provide an experimental basis that can be done. Method: As a method for this study, first, analyze the operation principle and characteristics of the existing backup power supply and lithium ion capacitor, and then measure the voltage of the lithium ion capacitor according to the configuration and system block diagram of the induction lamp used in the experiment. We proceed with the test of the measured value of discharge power for each voltage band to check the amount of power held by the battery and the operation test experiment using induction lamps. Results: Just by checking the charging voltage using the linear proportional characteristics of lithium ion capacitors, it provides a basis for accurately inferring the effective operating time of induction lamp lamps. Conclusion: In the event of a disaster, the lithium ion capacitor is used as a spare power supply for emergency induction lamps to prevent complete discharge of emergency induction lamps, to prevent the problem of performing normal operation of the standby power supply, and to use only a simple voltage measurement to reserve power. It was intended to suggest many uses for evacuation equipment application in the future by making it possible to check whether the device is abnormal.

This paper considers a power saving technique of set-top box (STB) that turns the signal into content which is then displayed on the television (TV) screen. A traditional power saving scheme, Auto Power Down (APD), was devised to reduce the power consumption of STB. APD checks whether the user is watching TV over a period of time and enforces STB into stand-by mode when the check result reveals the user is not watching TV. This paper proposes an enhanced power saving scheme that transits STB operation mode to 'stand-by' immediately when STB recognizes the change of TV's external input signal. The proposed scheme does not require the monitoring time to check the users' watching TV, and transits to standby mode faster than the conventional APD, which results in better performance in power saving. The simulation result shows that the proposed scheme achieves 2 to 11% improvement in power consumption compared with the conventional APD.
