Owing to limited energy in wireless devices power saving is very critical to prolong the lifetime of the networks. In this regard, we designed a cross-layer optimization mechanism based on power control in which source node broadcasts a Route Request Packet (RREQ) containing information such as node id, image size, end to end bit error rate (BER) and residual battery energy to its neighbor nodes to initiate a multimedia session. Each intermediate node appends its remaining battery energy, link gain, node id and average noise power to the RREQ packet. Upon receiving the RREQ packets, the sink node finds node disjoint paths and calculates the optimal power vectors for each disjoint path using cross layer optimization algorithm. Sink based cross-layer maximal minimal residual energy (MMRE) algorithm finds the number of image packets that can be sent on each path and sends the Route Reply Packet (RREP) to the source on each disjoint path which contains the information such as optimal power vector, remaining battery energy vector and number of packets that can be sent on the path by the source. Simulation results indicate that considerable energy saving can be accomplished with the proposed cross layer power control algorithm.

Nowadays, the thermal environments of classrooms are usually adjusted by the ceiling type air-conditioning system with a temperature sensor installed on inlet of an air-conditioner. However, it is not clear that the conventional temperature sensor position is proper to satisfy both thermal comport and energy saving in summer especially. Therefore, this study is aimed at finding out the best position of the temperature sensor on the purpose of the comfort thermal environment and energy saving. The different 5 positions for the temperature sensor are supposed in this paper to analyze thermal environment by CFD. From the analysis through the CFD simulations, the best position of the temperature sensor satisfying for both comfort thermal environment and energy saving is obtained.

OLED 디스플레이는 빠른 응답속도, 전력 효율성 등 여러 장점 때문에 점차 사용이 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 뛰어난 전력 효율성에도 불구하고 메신저, 게임 등의 사용자와의 상호작용 기반의 어플리케이션 사용의 증가로 OLED에 의한 전력 소모 비중이 여전히 크게 나타나고 있다. OLED에서는 출력하는 영상에 따라 소모 전력이 크게 달라지기 때문에 저전력 색 변환 기법이 대표적인 전력 절감 기법이다. 기존의 저전력 색 변환 기법들은 색 변환 시 인간 시각 시스템의 만족에 대한 엄밀한 연구가 없으며, 시각 만족도와 소모 전력을 동시에 최적으로 고려하는 연구가 부재했다. 본 연구에서는 기존 기법들의 문제점을 보완한 새로운 저전력 색변환 기법을 제안한다. 실험 결과를 통해서 제안 기법이 기존 기법보다 시각 만족도 측면에서 더 인간 시각 시스템을 만족하며 또 전력절감 측면에서도 색 변환거리에 따라 기존 기법보다 평균 13.4% 및 22.4% 향상된 전력 절감이 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

The hydraulic hybrid vehicle(HHV) is an application of hydrostatic transmission technology to improve vehicle fuel economy and emissions. A relatively lower energy density of hydraulic accumulator and complicated coordinating operations between two power sources require a special energy management strategy to maximize the fuel saving potential. This paper presents a new type of configuration for parallel HHV to minimize the disadvantages of the hydraulic accumulator, as well as a methodology for developing an energy management strategy tailored specially for PHHV. Based on an analysis of the optimal energy distribution between two power sources over a representative urban driving cycle with a Dynamic Programming(DP) algorithm, a fuzzy-based optimal torque management strategy is designed and developed to control the torque distribution. Simulation results demonstrates that the optimal torque management strategy maximizes the advantages of this hybrid type of configuration, and the high power density characteristics of hydraulic technology effectively improve the robustness of the energy management strategy and fuel economy of the PHHV.

기존 서버 클러스터에서는 고성능을 보장하기 위해, 실시간 요청 수량에 관계없이 모든 서버를 항상 On 한다. 그 방법에서는 QoS를 보장하지만 일부 서버들이 Idle할 때 서버 전력을 낭비하게 된다. 서버들이 소모하는 에너지를 절약하기 위해, 서버가 필요하지 않을 경우 해당 서버의 전력을 Off 하게 하는 서버 전력 제어 방법이 제안되었다. 서버 전력 제어 방법은 서버의 Power가 실제로 어느 시점에 Off 되느냐에 따라 정적인 방법과 동적인 방법이 있다. 정적인 방법에서는 특정 서버가 Off 하기로 결정된 다음 일정 시간 지연 후 그 서버가 Off 된다. 동적인 방법에서는 그 서버에서 수행중인 모든 서비스가 종료된 다음에 해당 서버가 Off 된다. 이는 가변 시간 지연 후 서버가 Off 되는 방법에 해당된다. 정적 종료방식은 단점이 있다. 반복 실험을 통해 수작업으로 최적의 시간 지연을 알아내기 위해서는 많은 시간이 소요된다. 본 논문에서는 정적 종료 방식의 단점을 극복하는 동적 종료 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 방식은 최적의 지연 시간으로 자동적으로 접근하므로 좋은 전력 절약을 하면서 QoS를 보장하는 것을 가능하게 해준다. 30대의 PC 클러스터를 이용하여 실험이 수행되었다. 실험결과는 제안하는 동적 종료 방법이 기존의 정적 종료 방법과 비교할 때 에너지 절감측면에서는 비슷하지만 QoS 측면에서 우수함을 보여준다.

In order to achieve stable and efficient use of energy at iron and steel works, a model for the prediction of supply and demand of electric power system is developed on the basis of the information on operation and particular patterns of electric power consumption. The optimal amount of electric power to be purchased and the optimal fuel allocation for the in-house electric power plants are also obtained by a mixed-integer linear programming(MILP) and a nonlinear programming (NLP) solutions, respectively. The validity and the effectiveness of the proposed model are investigated by several illustrative examples. The simulation results show the satisfactory energy saving by the optimal solution obtained through this research.

This paper deals with determination of motions of a humanoid robot using genetic algorithm. A humanoid robot has some problems of the structural instability basically. So, we have to consider the stable walking gait in gait planning. Besides, it is important to make the smoothly optimal gait for saving the electric power. A mobile robot has battery to move autonomously. But a humanoid robot needs more electric power in order to drive many joints. So, if movements of walking joint don't maintain optimally, it is hard to sustain the battery power during the working period. Also, if a gait trajectory doesn't have optimal state, the expected lift span of joints tends to be decreased. Also, if a gait trajectory doesn't have optimal state, the expected lift span of joints tends to be decreased. To solve these problems, the genetic algorithm is employed to guarantee the optimal gait trajectory. The fitness functions in a genetic algorithm are introduced to find out optimal trajectory, which enables the robot to have the less reduced jerk of joints and get smooth movement. With these all process accomplished by PC-based program, the optimal solution could be obtained from the simulation. In addition, we discuss the design consideration fur the joint motion and distributed computation of tile humanoid, ISHURO, and suggest its result such as structure of the network and a disturbance observer.
