현재 무선 환경통신에서 점차 고갈되어가는 주파수를 효율적으로 사용하기 위해서 새로운 접근 방법이 개발되었다. Cognitive Radio는 디바이스가 동작하는 환경의 정보에 근거하여 자신의 송수신 방법을 바꿀 수 있는 장비를 말한다. 현재 무선 모바일 디바이스를 대상으로 하는 무선통신표준들은 절전모드에 대해서 다루고 있으며, 대부분 전력절감을 위하여 데이터 송신과 수신에 대한 전원을 차단하는 방법을 이용한다. 하지만 Cognitive Radio 환경에서는 모든 디바이스들이 채널을 검색하기 위해서 Quiet Period를 두고 있으며, 기존의 에너지 절감 방법으로는 Cognitive Radio 환경에 응용하기에는 적합하지 않다. 본 논문에서는 Cognitive Radio 환경에서 무선 모바일 디바이스를 위한 에너지 효율적인 MAC 프로토콜을 제안하고, 시뮬레이션을 통하여 일반적으로 사용되는 에너지관리 방법과 제안한 방법을 비교하여 성능이 향상되었음을 확인한다.

A rail heating system can be classified as the method which uses a natural phenomena change in climate condition and the method which uses electric energy. The former uses a the sunshine and wind for frozen rail or snow. On the other hand, and the latter uses the electric energy. In this paper, to set up an effective thaw system in railway facilities using the electric energy, the component for thaw equipments, the installing method, the method for temperature regulation, and the maintenance technique will be analyzed and compared, which results in an introduction of an effective and economic scheme for respective railway systems. Although the portion of thaw system is not quite large in the entire railway facilities, a significant energy saving and cost reduction can be expected if the proper system is employed.

오늘날 ICT 네트워크에서 에너지 소모는 전체 에너지 소모의 10% 내외로 가까운 미래에 에너지가 현저하게 증가 할 것이다. 그러한 이유로 ICT 네트워크에서 에너지를 절약하려는 연구가 상당히 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서 네트워크 레벨에서 네트워크 품질을 보장하면서 에너지 절약이 가능한 방법을 검토한다. 네트워크를 구성하는 노드와 링크는 에너지 프로파일에 따라 에너지가 소모된다고 가정하였다. 특히 IP 네트워크에서, 다양한 에너지 프로파일 모델을 기본으로 하여 네트워크가 소모하는 에너지 모델을 정식화하고, IP 네트워크 품질을 만족하면서 에너지 절약이 가능한 energy-aware QoS 라우팅 방안을 제시하고 검토한다. 본 논문에서 시뮬레이션을 이용하여, 에너지 프로파일에 따라 IP 네트워크가 소모하는 에너지의 차이가 크며, 적절한 에너지 프로파일 모델을 개발한다면 에너지 절약이 가능함을 보여 준다. 또 IP 네트워크의 품질을 유지하면서 에너지 절약이 가능한 energy-aware QoS 라우팅 중 min_used_path(MP) heuristic을 이용한 방법이 네트워크의 노드 및 링크의 감소율이 다른 방법에 비해 우수하고, 에너지 절약 효과가 다른 방법에 비해 우수함을 분명히 한다. 따라서 결론적으로 본 논문에서는 energy-aware QoS 라우팅의 한 방법인 min_used_path(MP) heuristic을 적용하여 네트워크 품질 유지하면서 에너지를 절약 할 수 있음을 확인 하였다.

The research analyzes the arrangement of boiler and hot water header, the method of radiator pipe setting, hot water supply control, hourly heating situation of each room for underfloor radiant heating systems in Korea and suggests an alternative to improve to efficient heating method. One of the best options for install position of hot water distributor is under kitchen sink which is center point of all rooms, according to previous research of the energy saving strategies. When the radiator pipes are arranged to each individual room instead of bedrooms through livingroom and kitchen, it has energy saving effects. For rooms without occupancy according to a time period, hot water supply method should be intermittent heating rather than continuous heating. For this intermittent heating method, individual control of hot water supply is more practical, and it can lead to massive energy savings. The intermittent heating system has time-lag, so it is more effective in energy saving with mild and comfort condition if the spaces are preheated by automatic control equipment prior to required time.

Because sensor nodes have limited resources in wireless sensor networks, data aggregation can efficiently reduce communication overhead and extend the network lifetime. Although many existing methods are particularly useful for data aggregation applications, they incur unbalanced communication cost and waste lots of sensors' energy. In this paper, we propose a privacy-preserving, energy-saving data aggregation scheme (EBPP). Our method can efficiently reduce the communication cost and provide privacy preservation to protect useful information. Meanwhile, the balanced energy of the nodes can extend the network lifetime in our scheme. Through many simulation experiments, we use several performance criteria to evaluate the method. According to the simulation and analysis results, this method can more effectively balance energy dissipation and provide privacy preservation compared to the existing schemes.

This paper describes a one-chip micom controller and phase angle control method for self-starting and energy saving of single-phase induction motor. The proposed method is based on the optimal efficiency control which is running by variable phase angle of main winding current such as to maintain the maximum efficiency characteristics of the motor, in voltage control with TRIAC. Experiments are focused on a capacitor starting single-phase induction motor. The optimal energy saving by variable phase angle control are verified by experimental results. Also, auxiliary winding was controlled by electronic starting switch.

The amount of water resources that can be used tend to be decreased gradually. In contrast, the rapidly increasing water consumption is a problem that need to be addressed. Renovation and equipment replacement to improve energy efficiency and to reduce expenditure for building usage is required. But the excessive initial investment cost and the prolonged of pay back period may be uneconomical choice. Water usage for cleaning the toilet bowl accounts for 27%of the total water usage. Water-saving valve that can select the amount of water for cleaning toilet bowl can be reduced expenditure. After installing water-saving valve, analysed the economic effects. Water-saving valves compared with flush valves, and researched the amount of water usage. Then analyzed for the economic effects. Water-saving valve was used 5.6 ${\ell}$/time for cleaning toilet bowl. In contrast, flush valve was consumed 8.4 ${\ell}$/time. Water-saving valve's water-saving rate was 33.3%. The initial payback period for Water-saving valve was 459.5 days. By a small investment in water saving valve, the economic benefits can be obtained.

This paper presents the real condition and problems of rural communities, shift of social paradigm, and also discussed the results and efforts of existing energy supporting policy by literature review. The aim of this study is to suggest the new supporting policy of energy saving facilities for rural communities, and to show its necessity, framework, promotion method, and connection plan with existing policy. Based on this study, mainly three results can be drawn as follows; first, this new policy is required that not only suggestive reason such as energy crisis and social atmosphere, but also, financial support and welfare service for resident of rural area. Second, the various rural facilities including residence must be planed sustainable energy saving system by this new policy. And the third, this policy should be simultaneously adopted with rural development policy, and must drive forward that is closely connected with a related policy.

An industrial control process multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) coupled system is analyzed in this study as an example of a Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) simulation system. Ordinary control algorithms can complete the steady state of the control system and even reduce the response time to some extent, but the entire system still consumes a large amount of energy after reaching the steady state. So a multivariable decoupled energy-saving control method is proposed, and a novel energy-saving function (economic function, Eco-Function) is specially designed based on the active disturbance rejection control algorithm. Simulations and LOCA simulation system tests show that the Eco-function algorithm can cope with the uncertainty of the multivariable system's internal parameters and external disturbances, and it can save up to 67% of energy consumption in maintaining the parameter steady state.

Ecological society and energy conservative systems has become a subject of world wide attention. To examine the technologies of such systems as resource recycling society, this study is proposed for using rainwater as energy source and water resources in urban area. Useful informations for planning of utilizing rainfall as energy source, water resources, emergency water and controlling flood are discussed with model systems in urban area. It is calculated that the rate of utilizing rainwater, amounts of utilizing rainwater, substitution rate of supply water, amounts of overflow rainwater according to rain storage tank volume. By applying the past weather data, The optimum volume of rain water storage was calculated as 200m$^3$ which mean no benefits according to the increase of storage tank volumes. For optimum planing and control method at the model system, several running method of rainwater storage tank was calculated. The optimum operating method was the using weather data as 3hours weather forecast.
