A wireless sensor node is typically battery operated and energy constrained. Therefore it is critical to design efficient power management technique and scheduling technique. In this paper, we propose an OS-level power management technique for energy saving of wireless sensor node, it is called EA-SENTAS (Energy-Aware Sensor Node TAsk Scheduling). It can decrease the energy consumption of a wireless sensor node to use task scheduling technique that shut down components or use low power mode of each component when not needed. Simulation results show that EA-SENTAS saves energy up to 56 percent to compare with conventional duty cycle.

This paper proposes a novel superframe formation algorithm for wireless systems with time-slotted superframe structure. The design objective of the proposed algorithm is to provide high performance, stability, error tolerance, as well as power-saving features. The paper presents a comprehensive performance analysis of the Proposed superframe formation algorithm with different types of traffic applied. During analysis several performance metrics are investigated. The error tolerance to beacon loss and the behavior of CBR flows are also studied. We show that the proposed algorithm inherits the advantages of the previously used algorithms, while providing additional features.

In this study, energy saving performance of outdoor temperature reset control strategy for central cooling system is researched by experiments. Outdoor temperature reset control is the control method to change indoor air set temperature according to outdoor air temperature change. The range of indoor air set temperature is represented by the comfort temperature range of indoor air temperature offered from ASHRAE and indoor air set temperature is programmed between $22^{\circ}C$ and $27^{\circ}C$ by outdoor air temperature $20^{\circ}C{\sim}32^{\circ}C$ in summer. As a result of applying outdoor temperature reset control to central cooling system, the suggested control method shows better performances of energy savings than the conventional method which indoor temperature maintains constantly.

In order to substitute incandescent lamps, a power supply device for 7W class LED lamps which are environmentally friendly and energy saving is designed LED lamps consist of a multitude of chip LED connected in parallel and series. 11ms it is necessary to supply LED lamps with DC voltage and current. However, when LED lamps are in use, they are connected directly to AC 220V. This is why we need to have AC/DC, DC/DC power converters including a control system of voltage and current. For this, a transformerless and simple LED lamp driver is designed 조ich can control the current and output voltage for LED string of LED lamp.

In this paper, we propose a multi-hop cooperative transmission protocol over Rayleigh fading channels. In the proposed protocol, the multi-hop cooperative transmission is used to improve the system performance. Due to broadcast nature, we do not limit the receiving node to be only the next node, but the destination and all the nodes between the transmitting node and the destination. The proposed protocol can hence save the average transmit power, compared with multi-hop direct transmission protocol due to the skipped transmissions from some intermediate nodes or chosen relays. The proposed scheme is implemented and evaluated in mobile ad-hoc wireless networks.

A new magnetic ballast was designed and developed to get high luminous efficiency. The core material of new magnetic ballast was G-9 and its shape of core is modified. The diameter of the coil was upgraded to 0.5[mm], and a new power-saving circuit was designed for the semiconductor ignition starter. The experimental results of the ballast showed reduction of the electric loss in the magnetic ballast about 1.7Watt (0.5[%]). The luminous efficiency was increased by 6.2 lm/Watt (7.6[%]) and the ballast efficiency factor(BEF) of 1.09(7.6[%]). The prototype was tested through national standard testing procedure. A high efficient energy-using equipment (the second grade in the efficiency of energy consumption) was certified. The saving power of 1.7[W] was shown by lighting appratus for fluorescent lamps. The result will be used for the high efficient magnetic ballast technology.nology.

One of the weaknesses of ad hoc network is that a route used between a source and a destination is to break during communication. To solve this problem, one approach consists of selecting routes whose nodes have the most stable link cost. In this paper proposes a new method for improving the low power distributed MAC. The method is rule-based on the context awareness of the each nodes energy in clustering. The proposed networks scheme could get better improve the awareness for data to achieve and performance on their clustering establishment and messages transmission.

에너지절약에 대한 중요성과 관심으로 효율을 높이고 인버터 구동에 대한 서지내구성이 강화된 전동기용 절연소재의 개발에 관심이 커지고 있다. 최근 나노기술의 발달로 전동기용 에나멜 절연재에 나노입자를 강화하여 성능과 효율의 향상이 크게 개선되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 졸겔 제조법으로 PAI-MCS-A계 나노 하이브리드형 에나멜을 제조하여 기존 수지와의 전기적 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 강화입자로 선택한 나노 MCS 의 조성을 최대 30wt% 범위에서 메트릭스 수지와의 상안정성이 확인되었다. 특히 내아크성, 트래킹 시험에서 우수한 내구성이 나타났으며 이는 전동기용 에나멜 및 전력용 절연코팅용으로 사용이 기대된다. 전기적 절연, 섬락, 누설전류 등에 영향을 미치는 K, Na 값이 기존 다른 연구보고와 유사한 값을 가지고 있는 것을 확인하였다.

화석연료를 개발함에 따라 인류는 과거보다 풍요한 물질문명을 누리게 되었으나 그 부작용으로 지구 온난화라는 현실적 재난에 직면해 있다. 점점 뜨거워지는 지구를 식히기 위해 세계적으로 당장 시급한 대책은 화석연료의 생산, 수송 및 소비에 있어서 효율을 높이고, 에너지를 절약함으로써 온실가스를 감축하는 것이다. 하지만 궁극적으로는 신재생 에너지와 같이 온실가스를 배출하지 않는 지속 가능한 에너지원을 사용함으로써 청정한 미래형 산업 시스템이 이루어야 한다. 에너지의 해외의존도가 97%에 육박하고 있는 우리나라의 입장에서 세계적으로 연평균 전력발전량의 약 20%를 담당하고있는 수력, 풍력, 조력 발전은 에너지 자급에 의한 수급 안정성 확보 측면에서 중요한 의미를 가진다. 특히, 화력 및 원자력과 비교할 때 환경에 대한 영향이 거의 없는 청정한 에너지로서 개발이 유망한 에너지이다. 대규모 수력발전은 대형 댐의 건설로 인한 환경.생태적 문제점이 있을 수 있으나, 풍력과 조력발전은 상대적으로 환경에 미치는 영향이 작은 편이다. 본 보고서에서는 최근 연구되고 있는 신재생 에너지 중 전기활성 고분자(EAP)를 이용하여 조력이나 유력, 풍력을 이용하여 청정 에너지를 생산할 수 있는 방법에 대하여 논하고자 한다.
