This paper presents different ways to make lighting controls, a review of the various types of luminaires, lighting control modes and equipment used for the management of residential lighting. The goal of the management of lighting will be have a reduction in energy consumption and an increase in the useful life of the luminaries. To analyze the energy consumption of dimmers for lights was used equipment for power measurements; with this data was obtained algorithms behavior of the power consumed in relation to the rates of attenuation, thereby being able to predict the energy savings according attenuation of the luminaries. Finally it was concluded that the savings in paying the electricity bill is directly proportional to the level of attenuation of the luminaries. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

This paper examines the practicability of technology transformation scheme according to seasons and raw material ratio and on the basis of energy consumption status, as well as analyzes the practical coal consumption status before and after technology transformation. By recycling heat bleeding from the primary cyclone separator , the energy-saving technological transformation of MDF production line in Wangqing County Linyuan Wood Industry Co,. LTD is consummated. Of the transformation, it mainly takes place in the drying pipeline and the air admission valve of MDF heating system, which is fueled with coal. The proportion of dry and new material impacts greatly on drying and the average temperature difference of four seasons is 3°C∼8°C, thus the energy loss caused by material change can be lessened by transformation, at the same time, 23.11kg standard coal per stere plate can be saved.

Sensor Network is the basis of Internet of Things. Self-powered wireless sensor network has distinct advantages used in building automation. Energy balance and power balance are considered in battery-free sensor module. Analysis is given on various application places of self-powered sensor. A simple formula was given to evaluate average current in self-powered sensor module. Energy balance of weekend was discussed for lighting system in office building based on energy store super-capacitor. Function of battery free wireless sensor module was described based on ambient energy harvesting principles. The new battery-free wireless sensor module was applied in lighting system of modern building automation for energy saving. The topology applying battery-free sensor module was given and briefly analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Clustering algorithm can prolong the life time of wireless sensor networks, but cost of reconstruction is large. Energy load imbalance for multi-hop transmission is also a problem. Therefore, this paper proposes a simple uneven rotation clustering (SURC) algorithm to reduce cost of reconstruction and solve problem of hotspots. Besides, nodes in cluster work alternately, further saving energy. The experiment shows that the algorithm not only effective saves energy and solves imbalanced load, but significantly extends the survival time of network. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Energy consumption in the residential sector represents a global average of around 30% of the total consumed in the country, so any measures that could help to reduce it, would have significant effects on the entire State. Thus, knowing the characteristics of consumption will provide important measures to reduce it, make more efficient the use of energy, and even set on advising for cheaper habits by focusing spending on slots where the fees may be lower. Residential electricity demand profile is highly correlated with timing of active occupancy. The objective of this study is to determine occupancy profiles in Spanish houses and some of its various regions, according to data from the Time Use Survey 2009–2010, conducted by the National Statistics Institute of Spain. With these data, it was implemented a model to generate artificial data and validate the occupation model achieved. The aim of this is to adopt strategies that could minimize energy consumption in the residential sector. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Clustering method can increase the wireless sensor network scalability and life. Data is transmitted to the base station by multi-hop. These nodes near the base station may be failure early because of excessive energy consumption. That will lead to the network energy consumption unbalanced. This paper proposes a mixed non-uniform clustering (MNUC) algorithm. It draws on the calculation plat routing method of redundant nodes, and creative plane routing and hierarchical routing will combine. We will take distance and energy in, with limited clustering radius to solve the problem of network load imbalance caused by the multi-hop transmission. Finally, data will be transferred through the minimum spanning tree to the base station, further saving energy and extending network lifetime. Simulation results show that the routing protocol effectively balance the energy consumption of cluster head, and significantly prolong the survival time of the network. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

In Thailand, energy conservation has become one of the most challenging issues which are set as the nation agenda. Base on the development of electrical equipment especially, light bulbs, many technologies are proposed to evaluate the economics performance for convenience stores. In this paper, the energy management of lighting system in convenience stores for gas station is studied to enhance the energy efficiency in term of economic with the acceptable standard and regulation of Thailand. According to the existing system, T8 and standard ballast was typically installed in convenience stores for gas station that may be insufficient under energy crisis. The proposed energy management program will be discussed between the typical lighting system controlled by dimmer device and T5 with electronic ballast, which is a recommended technology from Ministry of Energy. In addition, the experimental results from selected gas station are presented in term of the luminance standard and energy conservation of proposed technologies. In the part of technical comparison, the T8 with dimmer device can decrease 38.67% of energy consumption which is better than T5 with electronic ballast. Furthermore, with additional 10% light dimming after midnight, the energy consumption is more reduced almost 10% without customer dissatisfaction. Not only the technical consideration but also the financial analysis is also evaluated in order to understand feasibility in practical implementation. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

We conduct fuzzy control algorithm. In order to reduce lighting enery use,we design an intelligent lighting energy saving control system. The system uses variable reactor to separate the high-pressure side and low-pressure side, and changes the low-pressure side voltage to control the voltage across the high-pressure side in order to realise saving energy and lighting continuous control. We also uses simulations to investigate the system, the results show that the system is reasonable and effective. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
