In recent years, energy prices have soared, which of course have increased costs for railway operators. Simultaneously, the energy market has considerably changed that in most developed countries, it is deregulated, giving railway operators an opportunity to define new ways of using energy. Efficient operation of the railway system is considered as an essential way to energy saving while an efficient management of power level helps to lower the reference subscribed power, giving access to better energy rates. It is studied on the relation between time and force for the energy efficient driving of train in railway when the train is braking according to several slips.

This paper describes an energy efficient train control. In these days, the researchers develop the energy efficient railway technologies, such as energy storage system, energy efficient driving. Mass rapid transit (MRT) railways, which are an important means of public transportation in urban areas, have operational characteristics that include short headways, frequent departures and arrivals. Therefore, when multiple trains are operating in the same power supply system, it is important to synchronize the energy tractions and regenerations. This paper define the group of trains for energy saving according to a power supply. We analyze the current synchronized driving situations and estimate the effect.

Efficient energy consumption in WSN is one of the key design issues for improving network stability period. In this paper, we propose a new Heterogeneity-aware Energy-efficient Clustering (HEC) technique which considers two types of heterogeneity - network lifetime and of sensor nodes. Selection of cluster head nodes is done based on the three network lifetime phases: only advanced nodes are allowed to become cluster heads in the initial phase; in the second active phase all nodes are allowed to participate in cluster head selection process with equal probability, and in the last dying out phase, clustering is relaxed by allowing direct transmission. Simulation-based performance analysis of the proposed technique as compared to other relevant techniques shows that HEC achieves longer stable region, improved throughput, and better energy dissipation owing to judicious consumption of additional energy of advanced nodes. On an average, the improvement observed for stability period over LEACH, SEP, FAIR and HEC- with SEP protocols is around 65%, 30%, 15% and 17% respectively. Further, the scalability of proposed technique is tested by varying the field size and number of sensing nodes. The results obtained are found to be quite optimistic. The impact of energy heterogeneity has also been assessed and it is found to improve the stability period though only upto a certain extent.

Localized topology control is attractive for obtaining reduced network graphs with desirable features such as sparser connectivity and reduced transmit powers. In this paper, we focus on studying how to prolong network lifetime in the context of localized topology control for wireless multi-hop networks. For this purpose, we propose an energy efficient localized topology control algorithm. In our algorithm, each node is required to maintain its one-hop neighborhood topology. In order to achieve long network lifetime, we introduce a new metric for characterizing the energy criticality status of each link in the network. Each node independently builds a local energy-efficient spanning tree for finding a reduced neighbor set while maximally avoiding using energy-critical links in its neighborhood for the local spanning tree construction. We present the detailed design description of our algorithm. The computational complexity of the proposed algorithm is deduced to be O(mlog n), where m and n represent the number of links and nodes in a node's one-hop neighborhood, respectively. Simulation results show that our algorithm significantly outperforms existing work in terms of network lifetime.

The top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) method is an effective approach for the growth of high-quality SiC single crystals. In this method, the temperature gradient in the melt is the key factor determining the crystal growth rate and crystal quality. In this study, the effects of the aperture at the top of the hot-zone on the growth of the SiC single crystal obtained using the TSSG method were evaluated using multiphysics simulations. The temperature distribution and C concentration profile in the Si melt were taken into consideration. The simulation results showed that the adjustment of the aperture at the top of the hot-zone and the temperature gradient in the melt could be finely controlled. The surface morphology, crystal quality, and polytype stability of the grown SiC crystals were investigated using optical microscopy, high-resolution X-ray diffraction, and micro-Raman spectroscopy, respectively. The simulation and experimental results suggested that a small temperature gradient at the crystal-melt interface is suitable for growing high-quality SiC single crystals via the TSSG method.

이동 애드혹 네트워크(MANET)는 무선네트워크에서 노드들이 제한적인 에너지를 가지고 있기 때문에 보다 효율적인 노드의 관리가 요구 된다. 이러한 MANET에서는 정적인 네트워크에 비해 토폴로지가 자주 변하므로 이동성을 고려한 에너지 효율적인 라우팅 프로토콜이 요구된다. 기존에 제안 된 CACH(Context-aware Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy)[1]는 하이브리드 라우팅 방식을 분산 클러스터링 기반으로 구성하여 네트워크 수명을 연장하고 지연시간을 감소하였다. 하지만 노드의 밀도증가를 효율적으로 알고리즘에 적용하지 못한 문제점이 있다. 이를 보완하기 위해 본 논문에서는, CACHE(Context-aware Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy and Energy efficient)를 제안한다. CACHE는 노드 밀도 변경에 대해 적응적으로 알고리즘을 적용할 수 있도록 클러스터 구성을 수정하여, CACH가 갖는 노드 밀도 문제를 개선하였다.

무선망에서 소모 전력, 전송률, 통신 반경 등 서비스 요구 사항에 따라 상호 다른 망의 발전이 진행되어 왔다. 최근 차세대 무선망 환경에서는 초고속, 초저지연, 저전력 등 서비스 요구 사항이 보다 다양해지고 높은 수준으로 설정되고 있으며, 이를 만족하기 위한 방안으로 이기종간 효과적인 연동에 대한 연구에 관심이 높아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이기종 무선망 환경에서 망간 연동을 통해 데이터 서비스가 이루어지는 상황에서 에너지 효율성을 반영하는 스케쥴링 기법을 제안한다. 특히 이기종 무선망 환경에서 사용자 형평성을 고려하면서 데이터 수율을 개선하는 비례균등 스케쥴링 방식을 기반으로 에너지 효율에 관한 요소를 반영하는 문제를 고려하고 에너지 효율을 개선함과 동시에 사용자 형평성, 데이터 수율을 모두 감안하는 에너지 효율적인 비례균등 스케쥴링 방식을 제안한다. 또한 모의실험을 통해 제안된 방식으로 비례균등 달성도를 유지하면서 에너지 효율이 개선됨을 보인다.

In resource constrained sensor networks, usage of efficient routing protocols can have significant impact on energy dissipation. To save energy, we propose an energy efficient routing protocol. In our approach, which integrates clustering and routing in sensor networks, we perform network coding during data routing in order to achieve additional power savings in the cluster head nodes. Efficacy of the proposed method in terms of the throughput and end-to-end delay is demonstrated through simulation results. Significant network lifetime is also achieved as compared with other techniques.

In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient scheduling scheme for real-time periodic tasks on a heterogeneous Grid computing system. The Grid system consists of heterogeneous processors providing the DVFS mechanism with a finite set of discrete clock frequencies. In order to save energy consumption, the proposed scheduling scheme assigns each real-time task to a processor with the least energy increment. Also the scheme activates a part of all available processors with unused processors powered off. Evaluation shows that the proposed scheme saves up to 70% energy consumption of the previous method.
