Efficient power consumption, intelligent power monitoring and interactive control of power consumption in smart homes are the key factors of sustainable development, reduction of power demand peaks and activities related to avoidance of blackout effects. The highlight of the proposed system is its ability to control maximum consuming power of the home appliances (HAs) and keep the total power c...

Economic growth in developing countries has resulted in increasing demand for infrastructure projects like power plants. To meet these development needs, the government of Iran has engaged companies to carry out power plant projects. While many papers have been written on the subject of project risk management, little information exists on the actual use of risk management in practice. The prim...

Dynamic power management can be effective for designing low-power systems. In many systems, requests are clustered into sessions. This paper proposes an adaptive algorithm that can predict session lengths and shut down components between sessions to save power. Compared to other approaches, simulations show that this algorithm can reduce power consumption in hard disks with less impact on perfo...

Effective and efficient power management remains one of the most formidable obstacles that must be overcome before Wireless Sensor Networks can be deployed on a widespread basis. Embedding agents on individual sensors offers one promising approach for intelligent power management. In this paper, initial results of simulations are presented which indicate the potential of this approach for exten...

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...

Demand-response management is an approach that includes the power demand side into the power management process to reshape power demand of consumers to the current availability of power. Data centres are major energy consumers that are highly interesting for demandresponse management. However, in contrast to many other energy consumers, data centres have a highly dynamic flexibility in terms of...
