The Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), is constructed out of teeny-tiny sensor nodes that are very low-cost, have a low impact on the environment in terms of the amount of power they consume, and are able to successfully transmit data to the base station. The primary challenges that are presented by WSN are those that are posed by the distance between nodes, the amount of energy that is consumed, and the delay in time. The sensor node's source of power supply is a battery, and this particular battery is not capable of being recharged. In this scenario, the amount of energy that is consumed rises in direct proportion to the distance that separates the nodes. Here, we present a Hybrid Firefly Glow-Worm Swarm Optimization (HF-GSO) guided routing strategy for preserving WSNs' low power footprint. An efficient fitness function based on firefly optimization is used to select the Cluster Head (CH) in this procedure. It aids in minimising power consumption and the occurrence of dead sensor nodes. After a cluster head (CH) has been chosen, the Glow-Worm Swarm Optimization (GSO) algorithm is used to figure out the best path for sending data to the sink node. Power consumption, throughput, packet delivery ratio, and network lifetime are just some of the metrics measured and compared between the proposed method and methods that are conceptually similar to those already in use. Simulation results showed that the proposed method significantly reduced energy consumption compared to the state-of-the-art methods, while simultaneously increasing the number of functioning sensor nodes by 2.4%. Proposed method produces superior outcomes compared to alternative optimization-based methods.

하이브리드 애드 혹 네트워크는 통합 네트워크로서 홈 네트워크, 텔레매틱스, 센서 네트워크 등에서 다양한 종류의 서비스를 제공할 수 있다. 특히 애드 혹 네트워크의 각 노드는 이웃 노드들에 데이터를 전송해야 하므로, 전체 에너지의 사용량을 줄이면서, 균형적으로 에너지를 사용하게 해야 한다. 균형적으로 에너지를 사용하지 않으면 부하가 걸린 노드에서 빠른 시간 내에 노드 전송 실패가 나타날 수 있으며, 이는 네트워크 분할 및 네트워크의 기능제공 시간이 단축되는 것을 의미한다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 에너지의 효율성을 고려한 라우팅 알고리즘에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 제안한 알고리즘에서는 예측모델을 이용해 각 노드의 에너지의 잔량을 예측하므로, 라우팅 경로의 설정시 에너지 정보를 얻기 위한 많은 부하를 감소시킬 수 있으며, 전체 노드에 걸쳐 에너지의 사용을 균형적으로 사용하게 할 수 있다. 이에 따라 에너지의 손실의 감소 및 네트워크의 가용시간을 연장할 수 있다

최신의 멀티코어 프로세서를 설계할 때에는 성능과 함께 전력 효율성이 반드시 고려되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 싱글 코어 프로세서의 명령어 캐쉬에서 소비되는 전력을 줄이기 위해 사용되는 대표적 기법중 하나인 필터 캐쉬 구조를 멀티 코어 프로세서에 적용하기 위한 새로운 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 명령어 캐쉬는 프로세서 전체에서 소비되는 전력의 상당 부분을 차지하고 있기 때문에, 변형 필터 캐쉬 구조를 이용한 저전력 명령어 캐쉬 설계는 멀티 코어 프로세서의 전력 소비를 줄이는데 있어서 중요한 역할을 담당할 수 있다. 제안하는 변형 필터 캐쉬 구조는 멀티코어 프로세서에서 필터 캐쉬에 대한 희생 캐쉬를 추가함으로써 1차 명령어 캐쉬에 대한 접근 횟수를 감소시키는 방법을 이용하여 명령어 캐쉬에서 소비되는 총전력을 줄일 수 있다. 제안하는 명령어 캐쉬 구조의 효율성을 분석하기 위한 모의 실험 도구로 SimpleScalar시뮬레이터와 CACTI를 사용한다. 모의실험 결과, 제안하는 기술은 멀티코어 프로세서의 명령어 캐쉬에서 소비되는 전력을 기존의 필터 캐쉬 구조와 비교하여 최대 3.4% 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인할 수 있다. 더욱이 제안하는 구조는 기존의 필터 캐쉬 구조에 비해 보다 우수한 성능을 보여준다.

Purpose: Drying characteristics of sawdust was studied under batch mode using lab scale microwave dryer. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of material load and microwave output power on drying characteristics of sawdust. Methods: Material load and microwave output power were varied from 23 to 186 g and 530 to 370 W respectively. Different kinetic models were tested to fit the drying rates of sawdust. Similarly, the activation energy was calculated by employing the Arrhenius equation. Results: The drying efficiency increased considerably, whereas the specific energy consumption significantly decreased with increase in material load and microwave output power. The cumulative energy efficiency increased by 9%, and the specific energy consumption decreased by 8% when the material load was increased from 23 to 186 g. The effective diffusivity increased with decrease in material load and increase in microwave output power. The previously published model gave the best fit for data points with $R^2$ and RMSE values of 0.999 and 0.01, respectively. Conclusions: The data obtained from this study could be used as a basis for modeling of large scale industrial microwave dryers for the pellet production.

The reliability and performance of WiFi need optimization because of the rising number of WiFi users day by day. A highlighted point is saving power while transmitting and receiving packets using WiFi devices. Wake-on-Wlan (WoW) is also implemented to improve energy consumption, but it also needs betterment. This paper will introduce universal ideas to transmit and receive packets using low-power technology like Bluetooth or BLE (Bluetooth low energy). While looking for power-saving ways in this research, WiFi connection and maintenance also take care using lesser power-consuming technology. Identifying different use-cases where low power technology can help save energy and maintain 802.11 connection is part of the research. In addition, the proposed method discuss energy saving with unicast and broadcast/multicast data. Calculation of power-saving and comparison with standalone WiFi usage clearly shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper describes evaluation results of the wind power penetration limit (WPPL) and the wind energy penetration (WEP) in the Mongolian central power system (MCPS). A wind power plant (WPP) in a power system possesses an output power limit because the power system must maintain a balance between the generation and consumption of electricity at all times in order to achieve an adequate level of quality. The instantaneous penetration limit (IPL) of wind generation at a load is determined as the minimum of the three technical constraints: the minimum output, the ramp rate capability, and the spinning reserve of the conventional generating units. In this paper, a WPPL is defined as the maximum IPL divided by the peak load. A maximal variation rate (VR) of wind power is a major factor in determining the IPL, WPPL, and WEP. This paper analyzes the effects of the maximal VR of wind power on the WPPL, WEP, and capacity factor (CF) in the MCPS. The results indicate that a small VR can facilitate a large amount of wind energy while maintaining a high CF with increased wind power penetration.

Considering the tradeoff between energy consumption and outage behavior in buffer-aided relay selection, a novel energy-efficient buffer-aided optimal relay selection scheme with power adaptation and Inter-Relay Interference (IRI) cancellation is proposed. In the proposed scheme, energy consumption minimization is the objective with the consideration of relay buffer state, outage probability and relay power control, in order to eliminate IRI. The proposed scheme selects a pair of optimal relays from multiple candidate relays, denoted as optimal receive relay and optimal transmit relay respectively. Source-relay and relay-destination communications can be performed within a time-slot, which performs as Full-Duplex (FD) relaying. Markov chain model is applied to analyze the evolution of relay buffer states. System steady state outage probability and achievable diversity order are derived respectively. In addition, packet transmission delay and power reduction performance are investigated with a specific analysis. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme outperforms other relay selection schemes in terms of outage behavior with power adaptation and IRI cancellation in the same relay number and buffer size scenario. Compared with Buffer State relay selection method, the proposed scheme reduces transmission delay significantly with the same amount of relays. Average transmit power reduction can be implemented to relays with the increasing of relay number and buffer size, which realizes the tradeoff between energy-efficiency, outage behavior and delay performance in green cooperative communications.

무선 센서 네트워크의 수명 및 성능은 각 센서 노드들의 에너지 효율과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 본 논문에서는 센서 노드의 에너지 효율을 높이기 위해 센서 노드의 동작 상태를 정상, 절전, 및 비활성 모드로 나눈다. 정상 모드로 동작하는 센서 노드는 정상 주기로 센싱 및 데이터 전송을 하지만, 절전 모드에서는 그 주기를 늘임으로써 에너지 소비를 줄인다. 센싱 및 데이터 전송을 하지 않는 비활성 모드에서는 에너지 소비가 최소화된다. 또한, 제안 알고리즘은 센싱 데이터가 이전의 값과 동일할 경우 전송을 하지 않음으로써 불필요한 에너지 소비를 줄일 수 있다. 제안 알고리즘은 Tiny OS 기반의 ZigbeX 플랫폼에 구현되었으며, NS-2를 사용하여 그 성능을 분석하였다. 성능 분석결과 제안 알고리즘이 전체 센서 노드의 에너지 소비 및 그 표준편차를 효율적으로 줄임으로써 무선 센서 네트워크의 수명을 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.
