This paper proposes a system for reducing the standby power consumption in using the consumer electronic devices such as a television, a home theater, a set-top box, or a DVD player. The system is consisted of a flyback converter, monitoring circuits, a relay and a micro-processor. The proposed system can reduce the standby power consumption by disconnecting the AC input and the consumer devices can be turned on with a remote control. The proposed standby power system consumes the low power to receive the infrared signal from the remote controller. Furthermore, a electronic double layer capacitor is used to store the energy with high efficiency. The proposed power system can operate the 플라이백 converter to charge the electronic double layer capacitor and connect the AC input to the consumer electronic devices. The proposed power circuit can reduce the standby power consumption in AV devices without increasing the cost. The prototype is implemented to verify the system with the commercialized products.

The reduction of energy consumption at the base station (BS) has become more important recently. In this paper, we consider the adaptive muting of the antennas based on the predicted future traffic load to reduce the energy consumption where the number of active antennas is adaptively adjusted according to the predicted future traffic load. Given that traffic load is sequential data, three different RNN structures, namely long-short term memory (LSTM), gated recurrent unit (GRU), and bidirectional LSTM (Bi-LSTM) are considered for the future traffic load prediction. Through the performance evaluation based on the actual traffic load collected from the Afghanistan telecom company, we confirm that the traffic load can be estimated accurately and the overall power consumption can also be reduced significantly using the antenna musing.

본 논문에서는 열전에너지 하베스팅에 의해 구동되는 센서 회로를 저전력으로 동작시킬 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서 사용되는 열전소자를 이용하면 에너지 하베스팅 회로에서 8uA의 전류를 얻을 수 있다. 그러나 구동하려고 하는 센서의 전류 소비는 이보다 훨씬 크기 때문에, 본 논문에서는 하드웨어 방법으로 power gating scheme을 이용한 저전력 구동과 소프트웨어적으로 active/sleep control scheme을 이용한 저전력 구동 방법을 센서 회로에 적용하여 센서 회로의 전류 소비를 감소시킬 수 있음을 보였다. 먼저 하드웨어 power gating scheme을 사용할 때에는 파워 게이트의 Toff/Ton의 비를 22보다 더 크게 하면, 센서 회로의 전류 소비가 8uA 이하로 줄어드는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 소프트웨어 기반의 active/sleep control scheme에 의한 저전력 구동에서는 Tslp/Tact의 비를 3 이상으로 설정해주면 전류 소비를 8uA 이하로 줄일 수 있음을 확인하였다. 본 논문에서의 결과는 열전에너지 하베스팅에 의해서 구동되는 다양한 센서 회로 설계 및 구현에 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study is to show the existence of optimal operation conditions for minimum fuel consumption of the gas turbine based combined cycle cogeneration power plant. Optimal operational condition means the optimal distribution of the power generated by each gas turbine and the heat generated by each HRSG. Total fuel consumption is calculated by the sum of the fuels for gas turbines and supplementary boiler. Fuel consumption is calculated by numerical methods of energy equations which contain the power generated from gas and steam turbines, the heat generated by HRSG and the heat extracted from high pressure steam turbine.

The purpose of this study was to assess power loss in the computer and office automation equipment and identified a way to save power consumptions through field measurement. In this study, the meaning of standby power was to consume power while waiting for the use of any electronic equipment. This standby consumption was about 11% of total power consumption even though we did not seriously realize it. Therefore, it was very important to measure accurate power consumption at the standby status of electronic equipment. In addition, it also helped to reduce potential risks of electricity associated disasters. This study proposed the way to reduce power losses through automatic turn off switches for power outlets and switches. Finally, this study can evaluate power consumption patterns that can reduce power consumptions and potential risks of power related disasters. This also can achieve the goals of sustainability that can reduce environmental impacts by lowering energy consumptions and greenhouse gas emissions.

Recently, Increase of energy consumption is continued accordingly because economy is constant growth. so we need long term of energy supply stability and develop new energy source. The effort of environmental improvement is necessary and our country has to educe conservatory gas in these situation, our energy policy is summarized that minimizes energy consumption and uses kinds of energy source. This paper studied some effort of stability that distributed generation put in electric system through line fault, sudden load change. And then this paper calculated penetrated level of distributed generation in system transient stability.

본 논문은 IEEE 802.15.4의 MAC 계층에서 노드간 거리와 환경에 따라 적절한 전송전력 값을 설정하여 무선 모뎀의 에너지 소비를 최적화하는 방법에 대하여 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 적절한 전송전력을 결정할 때 이진검색 기법으로 빠르게 최적의 전송전력을 찾을 수 있고, 다수의 메시지 전송에 따르는 오버헤드를 최소화할 수 있다. 결정된 전송전력은 데이터 패킷을 전송할 때 사용되고, 데이터-수신확인 패킷의 교환과정에서 전파환경에 따라 변경된 네트워크 품질에 따라 동적으로 수정된다. 시뮬레이션 실험결과 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 IEEE 802.15.4 표준에 비해 에너지 소비량은 30% 감소하고, 단위 에너지양에 의한 데이터 전송량은 2.5배 증가하는 결과를 보였다.

A high speed address recovery technique for AC plasma display panel(PDP) is proposed. Replacing GND switch by clamping diode. the recovery speed can be increased by saving GND hold-time and switching loss due to GND switch also becomes also be reduced. The proposed method is able to perform load-adaptive operation by controlling the voltage level of energy recovery capacitor, which prevents increasing inefficient power consumption caused by circuit loss during recovery operation. Test results with 50' HD single-scan PDP(resolution = 1366$\times$768) show that less than 3sons of recovery time is successfully accomplished and about$54\%$ of the maximum power consumption can be reduced, tracing minimum power consumption curves.

This letter describes an efficient technique for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of an energy harvesting device. It is based on controlling the device voltage at the point of maximum power. Using a microcontroller with a power saving technique, the MPPT algorithm maintains the maximum power with low power consumption. An experiment shows that the algorithm maximizes the energy transfer power using an energy management IC fabricated in a 0.18-${\mu}m$ process. Compared to direct energy transfer to a battery, the proposed technique is more efficient for low-energy harvesting under variable conditions.
