Korea's energy consumption has been constantly increasing. Final energy consumption was increased by anannual average of 2.9% compared to 2010. The consumption of all energy sources except for its oil was increased during the same time. While electric demand has increased coal consumption increased rapidly. Therefore, calorfic value and carbon emission factor development can improve the quality of Korea's greenhouse gas inventory. Calorific value is the amount of heat generated while burning coal. Caloric value is one of the most important factors in the development of carbon emission factors. Calorific value is used as the basis for the analysis of the various energy statistics. This study has calculated the sub-bituminous coal's calorfic value by the data received from domestic coal-fired power plants. Calorofic value's trend analysis period is the year of 2011~2015. Through analyzing the carbon content it was calculated the carbon emission factor. The sub-bituminous coal's uncertainty analysis was performed using a Monte Carlo simulation.

There are many researches to develop robots that improve its mobility to adapt in various uneven environments. In the paper, a hybrid wheeled and legged mobile robot is designed and a obstacle avoidance algorithm is proposed based on low power walking using LRF(Laser Range Finder). In order to stabilize the robot's motion and reduce energy consumption, we implement a low-power walking algorithm through comparison of the current value of each motors and correction of posture balance. A low-power obstacle avoidance algorithm is proposed by using LRF sensor. We improve walking stability by distributing power consumption and reduce energy consumption by selecting a shortest navigation path of the robot. The proposed methods are verified through walking and navigation experiments with the developed hybrid robot.

A mobile Ad Hoc network is a dynamic mobile wireless network that can be formed without the need for any pre-existing wired or wireless infrastructure. A mobile ad hoc node has limited battery capacity. Hence, Ad Hoc routing protocol ought to be energy conservative. Previous energy aware routing has limit in fairness among nodes and network wide power consumption. In this research, we propose a new routing protocol called Clustering Based Energy-Aware Routing(CBEAR) which can improve the problems. Simulation results show that the routing protocol improves fairness and network wide power consumption as well as life time of nodes.

Energy harvesting is a concept introduced in 1954 by Bell Labs in the US while conducting research on solar cells that convert sunlight into energy. Such energy harvesting technology is a technology that collects wasted or unused energy in daily life and recycles it as electric power. In particular In the case of a photovoltaic power generation system, energy harvesting can be applied by storing electricity generated by using a battery to reduce power consumption generated by the inverter in the form of loss of power generation in cloudy weather compared to sunny days. Therefore, in this paper, energy harvesting technology is applied in the low sunlight section such as sunrise, sunset, and cloudy weather to improve the amount of power generation by recovering the power that is below the minimum operating voltage of the inverter and dissipated. Accordingly, the research contents were verified through the development of systems and algorithms according to the amount of solar power generation and the development of systems and algorithms using low power generated in sunset, sunrise, and other environments.

This paper presents a technique to development load control and management system in order to limits a maximum load demand and saves electric energy consumption. The computer programming proper load forecasting algorithm associated with programmable logic control and digital power meter through inform of multidrop network RS 485 over the twisted pair, over all are contained in this system. The digital power meter can measure a load data such as V, I, pf, P, Q, kWh, kVarh, etc., to be collected in statistics data convey to data base system on microcomputer and then analyzed a moving linear regression of load to forecast load demand Eventually, the result by forecasting are used for compost of load management and shedding for demand monitoring, Cycling on/off load control, Timer control, and Direct control. In this case can effectively reduce the electric energy consumption cost for 10% ...

Through the rapid development of latest hardware technology, high performance as well as miniaturized size is the essentials of embedded system to meet various requirements from the society. It raises possibilities of genuine realization of IoT environment whose size and battery must be considered. However, the limitation of battery persistency and capacity restricts the long battery life time for guaranteeing real-time system. To maximize battery life time, low power technology which lowers the power consumption should be highly required. Previous researches mostly highlighted improving one single type of memory to increase ones efficiency. In this paper, reversely, considering multiple memories to optimize whole memory system is the following step for the efficient low power embedded system. Regarding to that fact, this paper suggests the study of volatile memory, whose capacity is relatively smaller but much low-powered, and non-volatile memory, which do not consume any standby power to keep data, to maximize the efficiency of the system. By executing function in specific memories, non-volatile and volatile memory, the quantitative analysis of power consumption is progressed. In spite of the opportunity cost of all of theses extra works to locate function in volatile memory, higher efficiencies of both power and energy are clearly identified compared to operating single non-volatile memory.

Energy costs for operating and cooling computing resources in Cloud infrastructure have increased significantly up to the point where they would surpass the hardware purchasing costs. Thus, reducing the energy consumption can save a significant amount of management cost. One of major approach is removing hardware over-provisioning. In this paper, we propose a technique that facilitates power saving through reducing resource over provisioning based on virtualization technology. To this end, we use dynamic workload shaping to reschedule and redistribute job requests considering overall power consumption. In this paper, we present our approach to shape workloads dynamically and distribute them on virtual machines and physical machines through virtualization technology. We generated synthetic workload data and evaluated it in simulating and real implementation. Our simulated results demonstrate our approach outperforms to when not using no workload shaping methodology.

Phase Change Memory(PCM) with low power consumption and high integration attracts attention as a next generation nonvolatile memory replacing DRAM. However, there is a problem that PCM has long latency and high energy consumption due to the writing operation. The PCM & DRAM hybrid memory structure is a fruitful structure that can overcome the disadvantages of such PCM. However, the page replacement algorithm is important, because these structures use two memory of different characteristics. The purpose of this document is to effectively manage pages that can be referenced in memory, taking into account the characteristics of DRAM and PCM. In order to manage these pages, this paper proposes an page replacement algorithm based on frequently accessed and recently paged. According to our simulation, the proposed algorithm for the DRAM&PCM hybrid can reduce the energy-delay product by around 10%, compared with Clock-DWF and CLOCK-HM.
