Energy has become a scarce and expensive resource. There is a growing awareness in society that energy saving is a critical issue. This paper surveys algorithmic solutions to reduce energy consumption in computing environments. We focus on the system and device level. More specifically, we study power-down mechanisms as well as dynamic speed scaling techniques in modern microprocessors.

train energy saving problem investigates how to control train's velocity such that the quantity of energy consumption is minimized and some system constraints are satis ed. on the assumption that the train's weights on different links are estimated by fuzzy variables when making the train scheduling strategy, we study the fuzzy train energy saving problem. first, we propose a fuzzy energy ...

in this study, the optimization of energy consumption and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of irrigated lentil production in esfahan province were conducted using data envelopment analysis (dea) method. the used data were collected randomly from 140 lentil producers using a face to face questionnaire method in the cropping season of 2014-2015. based on two dea models of constant returns to...

The basic developing objects of modern society are low carbon and energy saving. We must change the traditional high energy consuming building ways into modern novel energy saving buildings. In this paper, the development of modern building energy saving technology was reviewed and concluded. On this basis, designing ways and methods for energy saving system was proposed from the points of wall...

One of the industries with high potential for energy saving is the petrochemical industry. Ethylene and propylene production plants (olefin plants) – as a part of the petrochemical industry – are very energy intensive. So, any try to improve their energy consumption efficiency could lead to a high amount of energy saving. Iran’s petrochemical industry uses old technologies and components and du...
