In modern life, we are surrounded by and filled with electromagnetic noise caused by the dominant use of energy in the form of electricity. This situation is brought about by the fact that the noise is not understood theoretically. A new practice of noise reduction was introduced for the construction of Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC). The key concept is a symmetric three-line ci...

Understanding domestic electricity consumption behaviour is very important for planners and operators of electrical networks. Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) are installing monitoring devices at the low-voltage (LV) substation level. However, monitoring devices need to be allocated with consideration. This paper seeks to quantify the relationship between key information from a substation ...

Current reliance on fossil fuels is unsustainable due to pollution and finite supplies. Microbial cell factories serve as promising alternatives renewable energy resources. Microorganisms generate electricity in their metabolism; act as catalysts for converting the chemical energy into electricity. In Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC), electrons provided by microorganisms flow through an electrical ext...

This paper proposes a stochastic dynamic programming framework for the optimal energy management of a smart home with plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) energy storage. This work is motivated by the challenges associated with intermittent renewable energy supplies and the local energy storage opportunity presented by vehicle electrification. This paper seeks to minimize electricity ratepayer cost, ...

Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems account for a significant portion of power consumption in commercial buildings all over the world [1, 4, 5, 6]. Since HVAC systems are designed for centralized cooling supplies, power consumption in each room is inestimable. Therefore, administrators are motivated to apportion the electricity payment for actual users. The even apportionm...

A number of state public utility commissions are using "social costing" methods to consider externalities in electricity resource planning. The most comprehensive and formal method is the use of monetary place-holders in the financial evaluation of new investments and potentially in system dispatch to reflect quantitative estimates of externality values. This approach necessarily must take exis...

Climate solutions – nuclear vs sustainable pathways • Energy efficiency represents an economic bonanza, which will enable a significant share of energy demand to be provided by renewable sources and allowing nuclear power to be phased out. • The biggest single obstacle to improving energy efficiency is that in most countries, utilities are rewarded for selling more energy. We need to reward the...

Flexible combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) systems are effective in integrating wind sources. As an attractive, clean, large-scale energy storage technique, the advanced adiabatic compressed air (AA-CAES) can store generate both electricity also provide cooling during expansion under certain conditions. Although AA-CAES has immense potential multi-energy supply systems, CCHP dispatch ...

due to the increasing cost and environmental impacts of fossil fuel consumption, using the renewable energies in data center has become an important and essential priority. although using renewable energies has less environmental harmful effects, but the high investment needed for their installations as well as their fluctuating power production characteristic, restricts their usage such that m...
