The energy consumed by buildings among the total national energy consumption is more than 10% of the total. For this reason, Korea has adopted the zero energy building policy since 2025, and research on the energy saving technology of buildings has been demanded. Analysis of buildings' energy consumption patterns shows that lighting, heating and cooling energy account for more than 60% of total energy consumption, which is directly related to solar power acquisition and window opening and closing operation. In this paper, we have developed a low - power IoT sensor module for window system to transfer acquired information to building energy management system. This module transmits the external environment and window opening / closing status information to the building energy management system in real time, and constructs the network to actively take energy saving measures. The power used in the module is designed as an independent power source using solar power among the harvest energy. The topology of the power supply is a Buck converter, which is charged at 4V to the lithium ion battery through MPPT control, and the efficiency is about 85.87%. Communication is configured to be able to transmit in real time by applying WiFi. In order to reduce the power consumption of the module, we analyzed the hardware and software aspects and implemented a low power IoT sensor module.

In this paper a method of design and Implementation of RFID based control system for reducing standby power consumption at the power outlet is described. The system is composed of a RF controlled power outlet having relay and an active RFID tag communicating with the RF reader module controlling the relay. When the tag carried by human approaches to the RF reader the reader recognizes the tag and switch off the relay based on the RSSI level measurement. A low power packet prediction algorithm has been used to decrease the DC power consumption at both the tag and the RF reader. The result of experiment shows that successful operation of the relay control has been obtained while low power operation of the tag and the reader is achieved using above algorithm. Also setting the distance between the reader and the tag by controlling transmission power of the tag and adjusting the duty cycle of the packet waiting time when the reader is in idle state allows us to reduce DC power consumption at both the reader and the tag.

Because of the continuous growth of energy consumption, and also tile tendency to site power lines and pipelines along the same routes, the close proximity of high voltage structures and metallic pipelines has become more and more frequent. Recently, the results of assessment about a system integrity are needed in korea also when a gas pipeline is running parallel with high voltage power line in same submarine tunnel, Therefore, we analyze the system integrity(AC corrosion of pipe, melting of pipeline coating, safety of insulation flange, especially cathodic protection system which are rectifier and CI(cathodic Isolator)) resulting from the influence of high voltage power system.

The typical distribution systems have the power flow from distribution substations (sources) to customers (load) only as one direction. However, in the case where new energy power sources are connected to distribution systems, the output variations of new energy sources to distribution systems, which is so called reverse power flow, may cause the bi-directional power flow. So, the reverse power flow has severe impacts on typical power system, for example power quality problems, protection coordination problems, and so on. Therefore, this paper proposes the algorithm for Multi-functional protection devices in distribution systems in the case where new energy sources are interconnected. The proposed algorithm is verified to show the effectiveness by simulating and experimenting the prototype systems.

In the server cluster environment, one of the ways saving energy is to control server's power according to traffic conditions. This is to determine the ON/OFF state of servers according to energy usage of data center and each server. To do this, we need a way to estimate each server's energy. In this paper, we use a software-based power consumption estimation model because it is more efficient than the hardware model using power meter in terms of energy and cost. The traditional software-based power consumption estimation model has a drawback in that it doesn't know well the computing status of servers because it uses only the idle status field of CPU. Therefore it doesn't estimate consumption power effectively. In this paper, we present a CPU field based power consumption estimation model to estimate more accurate than the two traditional models (CPU/Disk/Memory utilization based power consumption estimation model and CPU idle utilization based power consumption estimation model) by using the various status fields of CPU to get the CPU status of servers and the overall status of system. We performed experiments using 2 PCs and compared the power consumption estimated by the power consumption model (software) with that measured by the power meter (hardware). The experimental results show that the traditional model has about 8-15% average error rate but our proposed model has about 2% average error rate.

DVS(dynamic voltage sealing)은 이동형 프로세서에서 에너지 효율을 높이기 위한 필수 요소로 자리 잡고있다. DVS를 효과적으로 사용하기 위해선 대상 태스크의 특성과 하드웨어 특성에 맞는 DVS 알고리즘이 필요하다. 상품화 수준의 않은 운영체계들이 일정한 인터벌(interval)을 바탕으로 시스템 사용 상황을 분석하여 목표 성능을 결정하는 방식을 사용하고 있다. 이러한 방식은 태스크의 특성이 갑자기 변하여 성능을 요구할 경우 인터벌만큼의 시간이 진행된 후에야 반응 한다는 단점이 있다. 또한, 태스크 별 특성이 아닌 시스템 전체의 특성을 따르므로 이질적인 성격의 태스크들이 동시에 실행 되는 환경에는 적합하지 않다. 최근의 모바일 프로세서들은 수 마이크로초 수준의 성능 전환 시간을 제공하고 있으며 이 속도는 계속 줄어들고 있다. 프로세서의 고성능화로 인해 I/O 작업의 경우 프로세서 성능에 따른 실행 시간의 차이가 존재 하지 않는다. 이러한 두 가지 특성을 바탕으로 우리는 TIB(timer interrupt based) 알고리즘을 제안한다. TIB 알고리즘은 일정한 길이의 인터벌 대신 타임 슬라이스(time slice)를 성능 결정의 단위로 삼는다. 성능의 결정은 태스크 별로 이루어지며 각 태스크가 사용했던 이전 타임 슬라이스가 타이머 인터룹트(timer interrupt)에 의해 끝났다면 최대의 성능을 그 외의 경우는 최저의 성능으로 실행하게 된다. 이러한 접근 방식을 통해 I/O 작업이나 이벤트를 기다리는 태스크에 대해 최저 성능을 제공함으로써 실행 시간의 적은 손해를 대가로 많은 에너지 절감을 이룰 수 있다. 또한, 태스크의 속성이 변한 경우 타임 슬라이스 길이 만큼의 지체만을 허용하게 된다. 이러한 TIB 인터벌에 기반한 알고리즘에 비해 개별 태스크의 특성에 따른 성능 조절과 태스크의 변화에 따른 빠른 반응을 자랑으로 한다. 본 논문에선 TIB 알고리즘을 리눅스 커널에 구현하여 성능을 평가하였고 그 결과 리눅스에서 사용되는 기존 인터벌 기반의 알고리즘들에 비해 좋은 전력 절감 효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

With the increase in power consumption due to the surge in the demand for power, it is necessary to improve the quality or design of the power (supply) for the purpose of reducing the energy consumption and so reduce the power loss. The switchboard is a mechanical device that receives electricity from the electricity generation facilities of KEPCO and divides it into the facilities required for each building. Switchboards generally consist of enclosures, switches, power conductors, and control components. This study deals with energized power conductors, which constitute the main element in the switchboard. Through the measurement of the effective ac resistance, it was confirmed that the vertical array structure of the conventional type plate conductor is inefficient. If the effective AC resistance increases significantly, the sectional area of the conductor becomes relatively large due to the skin effect. In this study, we studied the energy and material savings that could be obtained using the asterisk (*) array structure, which minimizes the effective ac resistance by reducing the skin effect. The core technology principle of this study is the energy saving switchgear based on conductor resistance reduction technology utilizing the asterisk array structure. The present invention involves a plate-shaped conductor arrangement structure capable of canceling out the magnetic field generated on each of the plate conductors (rst or abc) of the AC power supply in the power distribution panel by mutual action. The effect of this structure is to reduce the amount of inductive reactance due to the increase in the cross-sectional area and reduction of the effective AC resistance.
