Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Computer Science - Miscellaneous, grade: keine, language: English, abstract: According to the estimations the level of carbon emission in the sector of information and communication technologies triples by 2020 . This raised concern regarding the energy efficiency of the ICT devices and systems. Further we will discuss the guidelines and directives along which we can differentiate between technologies and their efficiency-level. These guidelines not only enable the customer of these services to attain a simple and easily manageable view on his consumption as technology user, but it also provides an evaluation system for local governmental and international regulators and projects. Then we examine the problem of energy efficiency in a specific field of the ICT, the server grids, as the demand for the services of this area is one of the fastest growing sections of the ICT sector. Than we rule out two possible ways of solving energy efficiency on the grids, and compare them. Finally in the conclusion we point out the main factors that make these solutions successful, and to which extent they match to our guidelines.

Download or read book Smart and Power Grid Systems Design Challenges and Paradigms written by Kolla Bhanu Prakash and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-03-10 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Smart Grid represents an unprecedented opportunity to move the energy industry into a new era of reliability, availability, and efficiency that will contribute to our economic and environmental health. During the transition period, it will be critical to carry out testing, technology improvements, consumer education, development of standards and regulations, and information sharing between projects to ensure that the benefits we envision from the Smart Grid become a reality. Today, an electricity disruption such as a blackout can have a domino effect—a series of failures that can affect banking, communications, traffic, and security. This is a particular threat in the winter, when homeowners can be left without heat. A smarter grid will add resiliency to our electric power system and make it better prepared to address emergencies such as severe storms, earthquakes, large solar flares, and terrorist attacks. Because of its two-way interactive capacity, the Smart Grid will allow for automatic rerouting when equipment fails or outages occur. This will minimize outages and minimize the effects when they do happen. When a power outage occurs, Smart Grid technologies will detect and isolate the outages, containing them before they become large-scale blackouts. The new technologies will also help ensure that electricity recovery resumes quickly and strategically after an emergency—routing electricity to emergency services first, for example. In addition, the Smart Grid will take greater advantage of customer-owned power generators to produce power when it is not available from utilities. By combining these "distributed generation" resources, a community could keep its health center, police department, traffic lights, phone system, and grocery stores operating during emergencies. In addition, the Smart Grid is a way to address an aging energy infrastructure that needs to be upgraded or replaced. This book shows that Smart Grids can address energy efficiency, to bring increased awareness to consumers about the connection between electricity use and the environment, bring increased national security to our energy system—drawing on greater amounts of home-grown electricity that is more resistant to natural disasters and attack.

Download or read book Next Generation Internet Architecture and Cyber assisted Energy Efficiency in Smart Grids of Buildings written by Jianli Pan and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite their huge differences, the Internet and the power grid share similar delivery patterns in the sense that the Internet delivers information from one place to another and the power grid deliver electric energy from one place to another. They are also facing their own evolution and growth challenges in their respective contexts. For Internet, its primary arena has changed dramatically from its initial academic usage to the commercial world which brought a series of significant research challenges and issues related to the Internet's architectural evolution. The power grid, on the other hand, has a strong need to transform its infrastructure with more intelligence, using networking and computing technologies. Creating a smarter power grid in energy consuming buildings will improve the operation, efficiency, security, and power quality of the grid. Thus, in this dissertation, we not only study the Internet core evolution, we also study a particular edge network application in intelligent buildings in the interdisciplinary context of networking and energy efficiency. In particular, this dissertation covers two inter-correlated parts: PART I: next generation Internet architecture and related research issues such as inter-domain routing, naming and addressing, mobility and multihoming, renumbering, traffic engineering, security, and policy enforcement; PART II: inter-disciplinary topics related to cyber-assisted energy efficiency in intelligent buildings and cyber-assisted sustainability. These two parts correlate with each other and reflect the research problems and complexity of the evolution of the Internet and consumer-side power grid, individually and interactively. For the PART I, we study the evolution of the next generation Internet architecture and try to find new methods to address the key challenges and research issues mentioned above. We address the research challenges with a holistic, open, and evolutional new Internet architecture named MILSA with new design principles matching the new contexts. The major contributions include: (1) designing and elaborating the novel Internet architecture framework based on Identifier (ID) Locator Split principle; (2) providing naming and addressing enhancing designs including secure IDs; (3) transition mechanisms on how the current Internet can be gradually migrated to the new architecture; (4) deployment incentives and strategies evaluation by defining a series of unified quantitative metrics; (5) a novel incrementally deployable multi-granularity multihoming framework supporting multiple types of multihoming, particularly data and user multihoming. For PART II, we focus on the latest trends in inter-disciplinary synergy among three areas: networking and Internet technologies, smart grids, and energy. The major theme is the energy consumer-side smart grid, i.e., various intelligent buildings. We focus on applying the key related networking technologies and findings to intelligent buildings for better intelligence and energy efficiency. The major contributions include: (1) finding energy consumption patterns and issues with the existing buildings and identifying key methods to improve the energy efficiency using networking and computing technologies; (2) developing network architecture for the enterprise/home buildings and creating "energy proportionality" and enable energy optimization for multi-scale organizations; (3) prototyping the proposed idea and carrying out experiments to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed ideas.
