It has been realized that the results of circuit level simulation of neural networks, used for optimization problems, arc much different from those of algorism level simulation. In other words, the outputs converges asymptotically as time elapes, however, the input convergence depends on the value of parasitic conductance connected between input node and ground. Also, this conductance affects system performance. This paper discusses the influence of input conductance on the convergece of the continuous Hopfield neural networks. The convergence has been analyzed for the input and output nodes of neurons. Also, the characteristics of equilibrium points has been analyzed depending on different values of the input conductance.

This paper proposes a transmission algorithm that optimizes transmission power and sub-channel allocation to maximize energy efficiency considering characteristics of the channel impedance of power lines in power line communication systems. Since the received power at the receiver is influenced by the characteristics of the power line channel, it is necessary to consider channel characteristics when developing a transmission strategy in a power line communication systems. In addition, the energy efficiency should be optimized while meeting the practical constraints, such as the maximum transmission power limit of the transmitter and minimum quality of service for each user. In the computer simulation, we confirm that the energy efficiency of the proposed algorithm is improved compared to baseline schemes.

In this paper, we validate simulation results for the design optimization of a Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) intended for use in Medium Voltage Direct Current systems (MVDC). With the increasing integration of renewable energy and grid connections, researchers are focusing on medium-voltage systems for balancing energy in new and renewable energy networks, rather than traditional transmission or distribution networks. Specifically, for DC distribution networks dealing with fault currents that must be rapidly blocked, current-limiting systems like superconducting current limiters offer distinct advantages over the operation of DC circuit breakers. The development of such superconducting current limiters requires finite element analysis (FEM) and an extensive design process before prototype production and evaluation. To expedite this design process, the design outcomes are assimilated using a Reduced Order Model (ROM). This approach enables the verification of results akin to finite element analysis, facilitating the optimization of design simulations for production and mass production within existing engineering frameworks.

This paper presents a numerical model of the optimal operation pattern of the CHP system built for duel-purpose of power generation and district heat production. The model can be differently formulated in accordance with the view of planner: society, electric utility or district-heating company. Here, the operation pattern of the system components and the effect of heat price are of major interest in the study. From the case study, it was found that the optimal use of auxiliary heating equipment is very important to achieve the minimum societal cost. And, the multi-step heat pricing scheme is desirable to induce the voluntary behavior of both companies towards the societal optimal pattern.

The global decrease in traditional energy resources has prompted increasing energy demand, necessitating efforts to replace and optimize energy sources. This study focuses on enhancing energy efficiency in manufacturing plants, known for their high energy consumption. Through simulations and analyses, the study proposes a temperature-based control system for HVAC (Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning) operations, utilizing machine learning algorithms to predict and optimize factory temperatures. The results indicate that this approach, particularly the prediction-based free cooling algorithm, can achieve over 10% energy savings compared to existing systems. This paper presents that implementing an efficient HVAC control system can significantly reduce overall factory energy consumption, with plans to apply it to real factories in the future.

This paper proposes an energy optimization technique for latency and quality constrained video applications. It consists of two key techniques: frame-skipping technique and buffering technique. While buffering increases the slack time utilization at the OS level. frame skipping Increases the slack time itself at the application level, and both enhance the effectiveness of the dynamic voltage scaling technique. We use an H.263 encoder application as a test vehicle to which the proposed technique is applied. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed technique achieves noticeable energy reduction satisfying the given latency and video quality constraints.
