Paris Agreement signed in January 2015 is a new rule that will replace the existing Kyoto Protocol. The new agreement needs new demands and challenges to minimize carbon emissions. Especially, even though agricultural sector occupies only 1.8% in the national energy consumption, the portion of the energy being occupied in agricultural production costs very high. Although renewable energy and energy-saving facilities is being developed and disseminated for replacing fossil fuel energy and saving energy, the installation-rate is not enough high. Thus, this paper developed Korean-style smart farm system, and carried out the experiment to show the performance of energy savings through analyzing proper environment in domestic situation.

This study was undertaken to develop a traffic signal timing method for interconnected and semi-protected-left-turn intersections(the intersections which have left-turn signal but not exclusive left-turn lanes) on four-lane streets for energy saving and to computerize the method for the practical use. For this study, a probability model which could estimate the utilized time of the shared left-turn lane by through traffic during green period was developed based on field studies. The two left-turn treatments, leading and lagging left-turns, were tested for the intersections, and it can be concluded that the leading left-turn was more efficient for the normal urban streets on which through traffic is major traffic. Adopting the leading left-turn macro-models to estimate vehicular average delay and proportions of vehicles stopped at the intersections were developed. Using the two models as well as the idling fuel consumpution rate and the excess fuel consumption per stop-go speed change, a traffic signal timing method for the intersections for energy saving was developed and computerized. The method can be used for more than four-lane streets and for other measures of effectiveness such as minimum delay, minimum stop rates, etc.

Medical data sampled through medical sensor nodes can provide services properly only when the data are not lost even during the fault of a home health gateway. The loss of medical data can be minimized if a sensor node, in which it is expected that there are the most saving spaces, is selected after medical sensor nodes tentatively conduct local save or communicate with each other during a fault when data cannot received. Furthermore, efficient saving techniques are necessary since the cycle for sampling information is different according to the type of medical data and a space for distributed saving is different for each apparatus. So, this research suggests an efficient distributed archiving protocol (DAP) for medical data sensor nodes, each of which has a diverse sampling cycle. In order to confirm the usefulness of DAP, DAP between sensor node and gateway was designed and materialized. An experiment was conducted using the materialized program and earned a high level of recovery rate (99.3%) and of accuracy rate, which confirms that sensor nodes can play their role during a temporary fault.

In this paper, we introduce the performance evaluation of data archive system for saving correlation result of Daejeon correlator with high-data rate. Daejeon correlator supports various correlation modes, but the speed of correlation result is affected by correlator according to the integration time in each mode. Maximum data rate of Daejeon correlator is 1.4GB/s in case of C1 mode with 25.6ms integration time. In this research, the performance evaluation of the proposed data archive system is conducted for saving correlation results connected with 4 10GbE optical cable with VCS (VLBI Correlation Subsystem), which is the core system of Daejeon correlator. For the experiments, the data archive system for 2 benders was selected and benchmark test was performed. In this paper, the developed data generation program of VCS correlation result file for benchmark test and evaluation results are described.

Energy is essential factor of production for a firm to produce goods and services. If so, what is the condition of maintaining profit of a firm when energy price is going up? In conclusion, the condition is that the rate of productivity improvement should be greater than the rate of energy price increase. To put this concretely, when the elasticity of energy price as to the productivity improvement is greater than the weight of the energy cost on to the total revenue of the firm, the firm can escape the negative effect of energy price increase. This is that, saying that once more, the firm have to reduce the energy cost or promote energy efficiency to maintain appropriate or sufficient profit when energy price is going up fast. Therefore, in this study we will analyze the effect of the oil price increase on the energy saving investment and that of energy saving investment on the energy efficiency in the field of Korean manufacturing industry. In doing so, this study could show that the effect of energy price increase on the energy efficiency of the firm and the factor of that mechanism.

This paper analyses the energy saving basic power models in core IP networks, and proposes the adaptive buffer and burst scheme which is a possible energy saving method, and its implementation algorithm in core IP networks. Especially this paper describes the adaptive buffer and burst scheme dynamically varying the buffering interval B according to the input traffic volume of ingress router, and explains the operation principle of proposed scheme. This method is to adjust the buffering interval B according to input traffic volume of ingress router, that is increasing the interval B when input traffic volume is low, and decreasing the interval B when input traffic volume is high between some given interval regions. This method can gets the high energy saving effect as decreasing the transition number of idle/active in networks when input traffic volume is low, and decreasing the transition number of idle/active by the continuous of burst packets in transit router when input traffic volume is high. This paper shows the increasing of asleep rate for the energy saving of core IP networks and confirms the energy saving of core IP networks by the computer simulation. We confirmed that proposed method can be save the energy of IP networks by properly trade off network performances.
