Nowadays, the environment protection and the energy crisis prompt more computing centers and data centers to use the green renewable energy in their power supply. To improve the efficiency of the renewable energy utilization and the task implementation, the computational tasks of data center should match the renewable energy supply. This paper considers a multi-objective energy-efficient task s...

This paper presents the current scenario of energy availability in a typical rural telecom system and proposes green energy utilization in rural telecom sector in India. The paper discusses the renewable energy source as the best alternative for rural telecom to supply the required load at any given time. The technical suitability and financial viability of using green energy sources to meet en...

The liberalization of electricity markets in recent years has enhanced competition among powergenerating firms facing uncertain decisions of competitors and thus uncertain prices. At the same time, promoting renewable energy has been a key ingredient in energy policy seeking to de-carbonize the energy mix. Public incentives for companies to invest in renewable technologies range from feed-in ta...

this paper classifies green envelopes as green roofs and green walls according to effective factors, which were derived from literature to compare the green envelopes’ thermal and energy performance in a more effective way. for this purpose, an extensive literature review was carried out by searching keywords in databases and studying related journal papers and articles. the research method for...

In this introductory paper for the Theme Issue on green tribology, we discuss the concept of green tribology and its relation to other areas of tribology as well as other 'green' disciplines, namely, green engineering and green chemistry. We formulate the 12 principles of green tribology: the minimization of (i) friction and (ii) wear, (iii) the reduction or complete elimination of lubrication,...

The Swedish pulp and paper industry has gone through a strategic change in its approach to electricity production and consumption over the past decade. This paper documents this reorientation, which includes increased on-site electricity production, investments and investment plans for wind power, and new partnerships concerning investments in electricity production assets. We also assess the e...

Forecasting of electricity demand has assumed a lot of importance to provide sustainable solutions to the electricity problems. LEAP has been used to forecast electricity demand for the target year 2030, for the state of Maharashtra (India). Holt’s exponential smoothing method has been used to arrive at suitable growth rates. Probable projections have been generated using uniform gross domestic...
