The aim of this research is to assist the consumer to control the air conditioning load during the peak season. Demand side response model was applied to manage inside room temperature to keep comfortable for the consumer. A simulation study is illustrated the effect of demand side response model application for air conditioning in residential house in Makassar city. In this research there are three...
Nowadays in the electrical energy market the accent is on the renewable energy resources, more exactly on the protection of the environment. Due to the fact that cities are becoming bigger and the number of the population is growing the reduction of the CO2 emission in the world is important for the people's health. In this paper, we analyzed the importance of building clusters, if the buildings have...
To examine the hypothesis that subjects who assign importance to the product selection criteria included in a commercial's message pay more attention to the message than do subjects who do not assign importance, an eye-tracking experiment was conducted. Commercials and websites with “reducing body fat,” “low in calories,” and “beneficial for dieting” messages were shown to 81 college students and...
Security of the smart metering infrastructure, which is a part of the smart grid initiative, intended at transitioning the legacy power grid system into a robust, reliable, adaptable and intelligent energy utility, is an imminent problem that needs to be addressed quickly. Moreover, the increasingly intensifying integration of smart metering infrastructure with other ecosystem applications and the...
Climate change is putting global pressure for energy consumption and production to move towards sustainable solutions based on clean energy sources. Rapid advancements in technology make energy generation and storage solutions available and affordable for consumers and enable them to become relevant actors in the energy process. The actual success of sustainable energy solutions is however not so...
The Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) that can improve interoperability, reduce the cost of using intellectual property (IP) for new projects or electronic design automation (EDA) tools, and make it easier to reuse verification components is provided. Overall, using this standard will lower verification costs and improve design quality throughout the industry. The primary audiences for this...
With the advent of the Internet and the growth in the use of cyberspace by consumers for online healthcare information (OHI), various researchers from different disciplines have been working on the challenges and threats posed by the issue of cyberchondria, which is related to the cyber psychological aspects of uncertainty, anxiety, quality, and credibility. However, there are few research efforts,...
Roller element bearings are a common component and crucial to most rotating machinery; their failure makes up around half of the total machine failures, each with the potential to cause extreme damage, injury and downtime. Fault detection through condition monitoring is of significant importance. This paper demonstrates bearing fault detection using widely accessible consumer audio tools. Audio measurements...
Content centric network (CCN) is a robust and uncomplicated communication paradigm. It introduces built-in features, such as data authenticity, in-networking caching, mobility, flow balance methods, and multi-cast data delivery. Data packet flooding is a hot research issue due to the broadcast nature of the CCN-based wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs). To mitigate this problem, in this paper,...
The existing trend of consumption increase and population growth, combined with reduction of primary energy resources, determined adoption of energy efficiency increase measures to better cope with the existing necessities. The main characteristics of smart cities are starting to be defined such that to be applied to various cities with different population, sizes and level of technology development...
This work analyses consumption obtained from high-power appliances in order to determine it characteristic curve. Due it high consumption, induction cooker, washer and dryer were studied. Meter FLUKE 1735 was used to acquire a samples per second. Acquired data as: voltage, current, voltage and current harmonics. Principal components analysis was used to reduce the size of each load data matrix and...
This paper presents a case study for monitoring the quality of electric energy in an industrial consumer. The measurements were carried in the power supply point and the data processing was achieved using LabVIEW software. It was made an interface to allow reading of files and processing them (creation of data tables and charts). Based on the data obtained from the measurements and using the interface...
The method for high-tech products' consumer base analysis based on the RFM-analysis application involving classification methods is presented. Instead of the standard partition of the customer base into quintiles the analytical method of ABC-analysis is applied. It has been revealed that the distribution of customer segments is nonuniform. The approbation of the method was carried out on the example...
This paper investigates the economic operation of distribution grid with multiple consumers and prosumers using consensus-based distributed control algorithms. Driven by the emerging Smart Grid technologies, a tremendous amount of electricity consumers and prosumers have the potential to actively participate into the retail electricity market. This paper formulates the utility and cost functions of...
Electronic commerce is a relatively new phenomenon in Romania, dating back to the early 2000's. During its short history, however, it has grown rapidly, particularly due to the advantages entailed for businesses, government and consumers alike. Specific disadvantages such as security risks, risks of fraud, piracy, corruption, low internet penetration rates and a culture prone towards traditional commerce...
The Vision of this project is to ensure fair price to the farming community by devising new techniques and by making use of online market. An application, that serves as a platform for movement of agricultural products from the farms directly to the consumers or retailers. This mobile and web application provides privilege for both farmers and consumers or retailers to buy and sell the required farm...
This article describes the basic methods and tasks of short-term optimization of the work of hydroelectric power stations in Siberia, taking into account the characteristics of systems of various types and levels, as well as the functions performed by these systems.
This paper deals with smart grids and social acceptance of them and based on various studies from this field attempts to answer questions such as how the society perceives this new technology, what are the sources of an influence, and what should be done in order to achieve a smooth implementation of smart grids with as few obstacles as possible. Rather new technologies are necessary for implementation...
This guide has been prepared to aid in the effective and uniform application of fuses, relays, and their associated switching equipment located at the point of interconnection between the utility and the consumer electrical systems. Descriptions of the various devices, definitions of terms, and references to other technical technical publications have been included to make the guide useful not only...
Cloud computing means distribute computer resources over the network with facilitate of internet. Cloud computing is very powerful concept and proffer some services to the consumers. There are many advantages of cloud computing for consumers because of this service have on-demand or what you can use pay for that services. Now contemporary year cloud computing has been an up-and-coming computing model...
