Test methods and data acquisition system specifications are described for measurements of the energy consumption of the control system of a servo-pump continuously variable transmission (CVT). Dynamic measurements of the power consumption of the servopump CVT control system show that the control system draws approximately 18.9 W-hrs of electrical energy over the HWFET cycle and 13.6 W-hrs over ...

Educating on the knowledge of electric energy consumption and conservation has been becoming a focus and rather urgent issue in energy education. Although several researchers have attempted to apply teaching and learning strategies to promote students’ conceptual understanding on the topic, they still have sub-optimal conceptual understanding of what the major factors of energy consumption are....

It is necessary to form an energy system in order to deliver the electrical power to a region that delivering energy to them from the national grid is not possible. At the moment, using the hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) is the suggestion of more articles and scientific books because of environmental problems, nearing to the end of fossil fuels, and challenges including unpredictability...

As multiprocessors scale to unprecedented numbers of cores in order to sustain performance growth, it is vital that the gains in speed not come with increasingly high energy consumption. Recent advances in 3D Integration (3DI) CMOS technology have made possible hybrid photonic networks-on-chip (NoC), which have the potential to result in high performance while consuming much less power than an ...

In a classic example of a smart electrical metering application, the same type of wireless networks can be used to build an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) to continuously monitor the power consumption, control the functionality of the meters, as well as limit the end-user consumption or report about tampering with the meters in real-time. Such capabilities are important for enabling the...
