Small and medium enterprises (SMES) play an important role in Taiwan’s economy. The reduction of energy costs and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are critical to preserving the environment. This paper uses the experimental results from 65 sites, gathered over two years since 2012, to determine how the integration of Internet communication, cloud computing technologies and a cloud energy manageme...

Integrating high shares of renewable resources into the electricity system requires a more flexible demand, especially more load-shifting in residential households. In order to achieve that different technologies, especially smart meters with various feedback functions, are tested on the market. So far little is known about the effects of a combination of different smart home technologies, such...

Energy has become a scarce and expensive resource. There is a growing awareness in society that energy saving is a critical issue. This paper surveys algorithmic solutions to reduce energy consumption in computing environments. We focus on the system and device level. More specifically, we study power-down mechanisms as well as dynamic speed scaling techniques in modern microprocessors.

The increase in energy cost and the need to reduce the global greenhouse gas emission to protect our environment have stimulated the investigation of new innovative techniques for the energy consumption reduction in telecommunication networks. Some studies show that ICT is today responsible for a fraction of the world energy consumption of about 4%, and this percentage is expected to double in ...

This study highlights the energy problem and the possible savings that can be achieved through the use of renewable energy technologies. Also, this study clarifies the background of the study, highlights the potential energy saving that could be achieved through use of renewable energy technologies and describes the objectives, approach and scope of the study. The move towards a decarbonised wo...
