the exergy analysis is a proper method for performance evaluation of industrial systems. a generic and detailed analysis of the gpcss on the second gas pipeline of iran  is made by the means of exergy. the two main improvement measures of fuel pre-heating and steam injection technologies are presented for the current conventional stations. steady state equations regarding the second law of ther...

Actual home networks have become an heterogeneous environment in terms of technologies used and do not take into account any intelligent energy saving mechanism. In this paper we propose an energy saving strategy by integrating a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) with a high speed, hybrid home network. The main objective is to demonstrate that a WSN can act as a dependable control plane, where low ...

Low-Carbon Technologies (LCTs) play an important role in achieving China’s Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC) targets. According to the result of our scenario analysis, if advanced energy-saving technology, renewable energy, and other measures are promoted and extensively applied, China’s carbon emission will achieve its peaking at around 2027. With proper energy policies, Chin...

A SMART repeater is proposed for driving capacitively-coupled, global-length on-chip interconnects that alters its drive strength dynamically to match the relative bit pattern on the wires and thus the effective capacitive load. This is achieved by partitioning the driver into main and assistant drivers; for a higher effective load capacitance both drivers switch, while for a lower effective ca...

Building environments are significant sources of global energy consumption. To create energy efficient buildings, the first step is to sense and monitor all the energy-consuming appliances in the buildings and record all the energy consumption information. After that, appropriate energy saving policies can be decided and the instructions can be sent to the control devices to apply the energy sa...

As much as half of the energy used in home goes to heating and cooling. So making smart decisions about heating, ventilating, and air conditioning system can have a big effect on utility bills. Saving energy at home also can help to protect the environment. It is at this critical moment that semiconductor suppliers are playing an important role in developing technologies that improve energy eff...

The development and rapid consumer adoption of energy efficiency products and renewable energy systems are key elements of UK and EU carbon reduction strategies to meet the challenge of climate change. Many such technologies are available for domestic use, but despite government incentives to meet carbon reduction targets consumer adoption has been slow. This Open University research with 111 i...

The electricity and potable water production sector in Kuwait depends solely on oil and gas fired generation technologies. Complete reliance on oil and gas has negative impact on the country's economy and environment, and hence, calls for exploration for alternative energy sources. This paper presents results of analysis of including renewable energy technologies within the generation inventory...
