Interfacing applications for uncertainty reduction in smart energy systems utilizing distributed intelligence

Green Energy Generation in Buildings: Grid-Tied Distributed Generation Systems (DGS) With Energy Storage Applications to Sustain the Smart Grid Transformation

The challenge of electricity distribution’s upgrade to incorporate new technologies is big, and electric utilities are mandated to work diligently on this agenda, thus making investments to ensure that current networks maintain their electricity supply commitments secure and reliable in face of disruptions and adverse environmental conditions from a variety of sources. The paper presents a new ...

Distributed Intelligence for Smart Home Appliances

A main goal for the researchers designing smart health care technology is to develop strategies allowing both, early detection of and avoid problems that could lead to a decreased independence. Medical analysis, smart sensors, intelligent software agents, distributed control, wireless communication and internet resources are research areas implied in home automation delivering intelligent healt...

Dynamic Planning the Expansion of Electric Energy Distribution Systems Considering Distributed Generation Resources in the Presence of Power Demand Uncertainty

In this paper, a new strategy based on a dynamic (time-based) model is proposed for expansion planning of electrical energy distribution systems, taking into account distributed generation resources and advantage of the techno-economic approach. In addition to optimal placement and capacity, the proposed model is able to determine the timing of installation / reinforcement of expansion options....

Hardware leverages for energy reduction in large scale distributed systems

It is analysed that the 1.5 billion computers in the world use about 90000 MW of electric power, which is about 10% of the global consumption. The latest in-depth survey (" Electricity Consumption and Efficiency Trends in the Enlarged European Union " , Institute for Environment and Sustainability, 2007) commissioned by the European Union in 2006 about energy consumption and efficiency of equip...
