This paper presents an artificial neural network (ANN) approach to electric energy consumption (EEC) forecasting. In order provide the forecasted energy consumption, the ANN interpolates between the EEC and its determinants in a training data set. In this study, two ANN models are presented and implemented on real EEC data. The first model is a univariate model based on past consumption values....

In order to develop a software that aims at helping reducing the electrical energy consumption in the domestic sector of the European Union, it becomes necessary to model the electrical energy consumption of the main home appliances as a function of their features such as energy class, capacity and operating set-ups. This paper focuses on the modeling of electrical energy consumption of the was...

Cloud Computing, the long-held dream of computing as a utility, has the potential to transform a large part of the IT industry, making software even more attractive as a service and shaping the way IT hardware is designed and purchased. Virtualization technology forms a key concept for new cloud computing architectures. The data centers are used to provide cloud services burdening a significant...

the growth of the electrical energy consumption form one side and the bounded available fossil fuel and other limitations from the other side, makes the thermal power plants upgrading as a main demand in the world. decreasing the internal energy consumption, increasing the performance and the output power with the minimum costs are the important targets of the power plants retrofitting. nowaday...

physiologically thermal comfort condition is a limit of temperature and humidity. ,in which thermal control mechanism of human body is in its least activity . thermal comfort conditions not only have impact on sizes of heating and cooling equipment ,but also affects the thickness of insulation, and .energy, consumption of buildings. it is necessary to define thermal comfort condition for differ...

Because of high growth in economy and rapid increase in energy consumption , the government has made efforts to resolve the difficulties of the shortage of energy by restricting the amount of electrical energy consumption for home electrical products and several products consuming energy. Especially, the rules specified how the amount of electrical energy consumption was tested is expected to r...

The philosophy of efficient energy consumption is vitally crucial to profitable production cost in manufacturing industries. This is because the unit production cost is largely determined by the cost of unit energy supply; which is quite higher than the cost of raw materials in Nigeria. It has been established that the Nigerian industrial sector is responsible for 8.7% of the total energy consu...

In this paper, the electrical consumption of Hamedan University is derived of the bills, Then with defining of fuzzy Bus Thermal Coefficient objective function for heating, the amount of available heat selling to university consumer that is produced by Biomass CHP plant is calculated. With the capacity determination of Biomass CHP plant to provide Thermal and electrical energy of university and...
