Accurate modeling and forecasting monthly electricity consumption are the keys to optimizing energy management and planning. This paper examines the seasonal characteristics of electricity consumption in Hong Kong—a subtropical city with 7 million people. Using the data from January 1970 to December 2014, two novel nonlinear seasonal models for electricity consumption in the residential and com...

In this paper, an intelligent power management scheme for embedded systems with wireless applications is proposed to reduce the power consumption of the overall system. The proposed method is based on the feedback of the extreme channel state indicator that is designed to detect the extremely bad channel condition. The considerable power reduction is achieved by turning off modules within the e...

The production and use of energy accounts for around 60% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, providing an intrinsic link between cause and effect. Consid‐ ering that the manufacturing industry is responsible for roughly one-third of the global energy demand enforces the need to ensure that the manufacturing sector continually strives to reduce its reliance on energy and thus minimise GHG ...

Maintaining a good irrigation system is a necessity in today’s water scarcity environment. This paper describes a new approach for automated Smart Irrigation (SIR) system in agricultural management. Using various types of sensors in the crop field area, temperature and moisture value of the soil is monitored. Based on the sensed data, SIR will automatically decide about the necessary action for...

Background At Nykøbing Falster Hospital, a mid-size community hospital, sepsis is among the most frequent causes of death. International studies have shown significant reduction in mortality, morbidity and healthcare resource consumption with early screening and treatment of sepsis. The Acute Division wanted to identify possible areas of interventions that could improve the treatment of sepsis ...

SRAM occupies two-third area of VLSI chips, therefore it dominates the total power consumption. To enhance the performance of these chips, SRAM cell should meet the requirement of lesser power consumption. This paper presents a new 8T SRAM cell that is efficient in Dynamic power consumption in Write mode and Leakage power consumption when compared with referred 9T SRAM cell and standard 6T SRAM...

Low power techniques employing dynamically controlled clock rates offer potentially powerful energy saving capabilities. In this paper, we consider the application of this low power technique to FPGAs, where we reduce energy waste in clock distributions. We show that current FPGA clock managers are inadequate for use in dynamically controlled systems. We provide an architectural block, the dyna...

abstract:background and objectivesenvironmental is one of the most important components of global macro policies, therefore, one of the main prerequisite of many activities in macro level is compatibility with environment. environmental pollution is one of the most significant challenges that is faced by human society in 21st century. agriculture sector compare to the other other sectors of eco...

Nowadays generation capacity in traditional grid depends on fossil fuels and contributes significantly to the increase of pollution emission. In deregulated grids in addition to using demand response programs (DRPs) to reducing the cost of electricity production, peak clipping and improve reliability use of green Plants such as hydro plant, wind plant become widespread. In a smart grid, end use...
