Págs 194-222: Deliberación sobre el diseño de estrategias en sistemas automáticos de cosecha: Encuesta Publicada el 15/06/2015 In Asia, decreasing farmer and labor populations due to various factors is a serious problem that leads to increases in labor costs, higher harvesting input energy consumption and less resource utilization. To solve these problems, researchers are engaged in providing long term and low-tech alternatives in terms of mechanization and automation of agriculture by way of efficient, low cost and easy to use solutions. This paper reviews various design strategies in recognition and picking systems, as well as developments in fruit harvesting robots during the past 30 years in several countries. The main objectives of this paper are to gather all information on fruit harvesting robots; focus on the technical developments so far achieved in picking devices; highlight the problems still to be solved; and discuss the future prospects of fruit harvesting robots. ver más...

Source: Journal of Systems and Software Author(s): Henrik Leopold , Fabian Pittke , Jan Mendling Although several approaches for service identification have been defined in research and practice, there is a notable lack of fully automated techniques. In this paper, we address the problem of manual work in the context of service derivation and present an approach for automatically deriving service candidates from business process model repositories. Our approach leverages semantic technology in order to derive ranked lists of useful service candidates. An evaluation of the approach with three large process model collection from practice indicates that the approach can effectively identify useful services with hardly any manual effort. The evaluation further demonstrates that our approach can address varying degrees of service cohesion by applying different aggregation mechanisms. Hence, the presented approach represents a useful artifact for enabling business and IT managers to quickly spot reuse potential in their company. In addition, our approach improves the alignment between business and IT. As the ranked service candidates give a good impression on the relative importance of a business operation, they can provide companies with first clues on where IT support is needed and where it could be reduced. ver más...

Unlike humans, robots often lack diversity in facial expressions and gestures and long-term human robot interaction (HRI) has consequently not been very successful thus far. In this paper, we propose a novel method to generate diverse and more realistic robot facial expressions to help long-term HRI. First, nine basic dynamics for robot facial expressions are determined based on the dynamics of human facial expressions and principles of animation in order to generate natural and diverse expression changes in a facial robot for identical emotions. In the second stage, facial actions are added to express more realistic expressions such as sniffling or wailing loudly corresponding to sadness, laughing aloud or smiling corresponding to happiness, etc. To evaluate the effectiveness of our approach, we compared the facial expressions of the developed robot with and without use of the proposed method. The results of the survey showed that the proposed method can help robots generate more realistic and diverse facial expressions. ver más... Nuevos algoritmos y optimización de equivalencias para la asignación de recursos en la computación en nube Publicada el 20/04/2015 In this paper, we model the optimisation of the resource allocation in cloud computing as a constraint satisfaction problem considering three types of resources (CPU, RAM and bandwidth) and design a ChocoBased algorithm (CB) for VM resource allocation in virtualised cloud data centres. We also propose an Improved First-Fit Decreasing Algorithm (IFFD) and an Improved Best-Fit Decreasing Algorithm (IBFD) and conduct performance evaluation experiments using Choco. The experimental results show that CB has better results, whereas its solution time is longer than IFFD and IBFD in resource allocation. Moreover, to reduce the complexity of solving the problem of CSP-based resource allocation, we propose an equivalence optimisation which can greatly reduce the search space for resource allocation by making tree pruning with resource equivalence. Then, a resource allocation algorithm based on Equivalent Optimisation (EO) is designed. Experimental results also show that compared with CB, EO greatly reduces the time of allocating resource of cloud computing. ver más...

Source: Journal of Systems and Software Author(s): Qihong Yu , Jiguo Li , Yichen Zhang , Wei Wu , Xinyi Huang , Yang Xiang Certificate-based encryption (CBE) is an important class of public key encryption but the existing schemes are secure only under the premise that the decryption key (or private key) and master private key are absolutely secret. In fact, a lot of side channel attacks and cold boot attacks can leak secret information of a cryptographic system. In this case, the security of the cryptographic system is destroyed, so a new model called leakage-resilient (LR) cryptography is introduced to solve this problem. While some traditional public key encryption and identity-based encryption with resilient-leakage schemes have been constructed, as far as we know, there is no leakage-resilient scheme in certificate-based cryptosystems. ver más...

Source: Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, Volume 46 Author(s): Kashem M. Muttaqi , Jamshid Aghaei , Velappa Ganapathy , Ali Esmaeel Nezhad Recent improvements in computer processing power have enabled the development of intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) to be capable of interpreting a substantial quantity of data at high speeds. The distribution industry is one of the largest users of real-time data during the operation of their energy distribution network and as such, has an inherent need for data processing technology. The development of intelligent devices and communication protocols has given rise to the concept of distribution system automation (DSA). In this paper the major features of DSA development are discussed. A method of communication along with the integration of wired and wireless communication solutions with IED and Mote technology is described. Protection scheme automation is investigated, showing that automated response to network fault conditions is possible. Network reconfiguration is another key aspect of DSA research and two distinct calculation techniques are discussed. The current index (CI) and the load balance index (LBI) calculation methods are presented and the benefits of LBI are highlighted. Distributed generation (DG) is addressed in the context of automation with a demand side management (DSM) program proposed to manage load during peak and off-peak periods. The paper discusses switching DG sources, load deferral strategies and direct load control to effect a reduction in load during peak periods. The paper furthers this load management by load filling during off-peak periods. Finally, conclusions on the effectiveness of the proposed method are drawn and recommendations are made for further research. ver más...

To overcome this impairment, different frequency lowering methods (FLMs) were tried from 1930s, however no satisfaction was provided up to now. In this study, for getting higher speech intelligibility, eight combinations of FLMs which were designed originally were tried with simulated sounds onto normal hearing subjects. These improvements were calculated by the difference with standard hearing aid method, amplification. High frequency hearing loss was simulated with the combined suprathreshold effects. An offline study was carried out for each subject for determining the significant methods used in modified rhyme test (MRT) (Subjective measure for intelligibility). Significant methods were determined according to their speech intelligibility index (SII) (Objective measure for intelligibility). All different cases were tried under four noisy environments and a noise free environment. Twelve hearing impaired subjects were simulated by hearing loss simulation (HLS). MRT was developed for Turkish language as a first time. As the results of improvements, total 71 cases were statistically significant for twelve subjects. Eighty-three percent success of FLMs was achieved against amplification for being an alternative method of amplification in noisy environments. For four subjects, all significant methods gave higher improvements than amplification. As conclusion, specific method recommendations for different noisy environments were done for each subject for getting more speech intelligibility. ver más...

Moreover, it elaborates openEHR as a tool for modelling Hospital Information Systems on a regional level based on a national logical infrastructure. OpenEHR is a dual model approach developed for the modelling of Hospital Information Systems enabling semantic interoperability. A holistic solution to this represents the use of dual model based Electronic Healthcare Record systems. Modelling data in the field of obstetrics is a challenge, since different regions demand locally specific information for the process of treatment. Smaller health units in developing countries like Brazil or Malaysia, which until recently handled automatable processes like the storage of sensitive patient data in paper form, start organizational reconstruction processes. This archetype proof-of-concept investigation has tried out some elements of the openEHR methodology in cooperation with a health unit in Colombo, Brazil. Two legal forms provided by the Brazilian Ministry of Health have been analyzed and classified into demographic and clinical data. LinkEHR-Ed editor was used to read, edit and create archetypes. Results show that 33 clinical and demographic concepts, which are necessary to cover data demanded by the Unified National Health System, were identified. Out of the concepts 61% were reused and 39% modified to cover domain requirements. The detailed process of reuse, modification and creation of archetypes is shown. We conclude that, although a major part of demographic and clinical patient data were already represented by existing archetypes, a significant part required major modifications. In this study openEHR proved to be a highly suitable tool in the modelling of complex health data. In combination with LinkEHR-Ed software it offers user-friendly and highly applicable tools, although the complexity built by the vast specifications requires expert networks to define generally excepted clinical models. Finally, this project has pointed out main benefits enclosing high coverage of obstetrics data on the Clinical Knowledge Manager, simple modelling, and wide network and Volver al índice Pág. 5 Mayo - Junio 2015 Boletín de novedades Boletín TIC Salud support using openEHR. Moreover, barriers described are enclosing the allocation of clinical content to respective archetypes, as well as stagnant adaption of changes on the Clinical Knowledge Manager leading to redundant efforts in data contribution that need to be addressed in future works.

Identificación de estrategias computarizadas efectivas para prevenir interacciones entre fármacos en el hospital: Enfoque centrado en el usuario Publicada el 13/04/2015 Publication date: 13 April 2015 Source: International Journal of Medical Informatics Author(s): Olivia Missiakos , Melissa T. Baysari , Richard O. Day Background Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are an important and preventable cause of medication errors in hospitals. Recent developments in technology have seen new strategies emerge for preventing DDIs but these computerized strategies are rarely evaluated and are typically implemented with little input from the individuals using them. Aim To determine the opinions of both experts and users (prescribers) on computerized strategies available to assist in the identification and prevention of DDIs in hospitals. Method Eight drug safety experts and 18 prescribers took part in semi-structured interviews. Participants were asked about their confidence in identifying DDIs and their views on potential computerized strategies to prevent DDIs. Results No prescribers reported complete confidence in identifying dangerous DDIs, with junior prescribers appearing less confident than senior prescribers. Most prescribers believed that computerized alerts would be the most effective strategy for preventing DDIs, while experts were more critical of alerts. Conclusion The lack of confidence displayed by prescribers in their ability to identify DDIs suggests that an appropriate strategy would be one that does not rely on individuals seeking out the information themselves. While a large number of problems related to DDI alert implementation have been reported in the literature (e.g. alert overload), prescribers appeared to be receptive to the idea of being alerted. By ensuring users are aware of the limitations of the system and involving them in DDI strategy design we expect greater use and satisfaction with the adopted strategy. ver más...

It can be a slow and laborious process, which can also cause disruption to the sample being analyzed. At University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign researchers have developed a virtual staining technique that doesn’t require any actual staining while producing similar results. They’re using infrared spectroscopic imaging to analyze the chemical composition of cells directly. By noting the spectral characteristics of light bouncing off the cells, the investigators were able to identify correlations that a computer can use to do quick pathology analysis. The researchers hope that the new method will drastically increase the speed of digital pathology studies, since manual aspects of staining and preparation may be avoided altogether. ver más...

Revadi Background Detection and monitoring of respiratory related illness is an important aspect in pulmonary medicine. Acoustic signals extracted from the human body are considered in detection of respiratory pathology accurately. Objectives The aim of this study is to develop a prototype telemedicine tool to detect respiratory pathology using computerized respiratory sound analysis. Methods Around 120 subjects (40 Normal, 40 continuous lung sounds (20 wheeze and 20 rhonchi) and 40 discontinuous lung sounds (20 fine crackles and 20 coarse crackles) were included in this study. The respiratory sounds were segmented into respiratory cycles using fuzzy inference system and then S-transform was applied to these respiratory cycles. From the S-transform matrix, statistical features were extracted. The extracted features were statistically significant with p <0.05. To classify the respiratory pathology KNN, SVM and ELM classifiers were implemented using the statistical features obtained from of the data. Results The validation showed that the classification rate for training for ELM classifier with RBF kernel was high compared to the SVM and KNN classifiers. The time taken for training the classifier was also less in ELM compared to SVM and KNN classifiers. The overall mean classification rate for ELM classifier was 98.52%. Conclusion The telemedicine software tool was developed using the ELM classifier. The telemedicine tool has performed extraordinary well in detecting the respiratory pathology and it is well validated. ver más...

On the other hand, in this scenario, an optimization of power consumption of the circuit is crucial. A low power architecture for the measurement of bioimpedance was identified in this work. It reduces the consumption in the most critical blocks of the system: the current driver, the signal sensing and the demodulator. The device was prototyped and electrically characterized. The compromise between power consumption reduction and the increase in electrical noise was analysed and an effective signal processing technique was developed, showing that it is possible to achieve a signal to noise ratio good enough to enable applications like respiration monitoring (breathing rate and amplitude) or cardiac output estimation. Preliminary tests on healthy subjects showed a good correlation with spirometer, for breathing monitoring, and with Doppler echocardiography, for cardiac output. Thanks to the good functionality and the reduced current consumption (750 A at 2.8V power supply was obtained with a discrete-components implementation) the module resulted suitable for the integration in wearable devices for remote monitoring of physiological parameters, or other low power applications. ver más...

Linas , Carl Latkin , Andrew Genz , Ryan P. Westergaard , Larry W. Chang , Robert C. Bollinger , Gregory D. Kirk Introduction We assessed patterns of illicit drug use using mobile health (mHealth) methods and subsequent health care indicators among drug users in Baltimore, MD. Methods Participants of the EXposure Assessment in Current Time (EXACT) study were provided a mobile device for assessment of their daily drug use (heroin, cocaine or both), mood and social context for 30 days from November, 2008 through May, 2013. Realtime, self-reported drug use events were summed for individuals by day. Drug use risk was assessed through growth mixture modeling. Latent class regression examined the association of mHealth-defined risk groups with indicators of healthcare access and utilization. Results 109 participants were a median of 48.5 years old, 90% African American, 52% male and 59% HIV-infected. Growth mixture modeling identified three distinct classes: low intensity drug use (25%), moderate intensity drug use (65%) and high intensity drug use (10%). Compared to low intensity drug users, high intensity users were younger, injected greater than once per day, and shared needles. At the subsequent study visit, high intensity drug users were nine times less likely to be medically insured (adjusted OR: 0.10, 95%CI: 0.01-0.88) and at greater risk for failing to attend any outpatient appointments (aOR: 0.13, 95%CI: 0.02-0.85) relative to low intensity drug users. Conclusions Real-time assessment of drug use and novel methods of describing sub-classes of drug users uncovered individuals with higherrisk behavior who were poorly utilizing healthcare services. mHealth holds promise for identifying individuals engaging in high-risk behaviors and delivering real-time interventions to improve care outcomes. ver más...

In viticulture, the adoption of precision agriculture techniques is nowadays increasingly essential to reach required high product quality standards. New reliable tools for mapping crop variability indexes in a vineyard or a single parcel are necessary to deploy site-specific management practices. In this paper, a new method to automatically detect vine rows in gray-scale aerial images is presented. The developed image processing algorithm is constituted by three main steps based on dynamic segmentation, Hough Space Clustering and Total Least Squares techniques. The procedure’s reliability has also been proven in the presence of disturbance elements, like dense inter-row grassing, bushes and trees shadows, by properly detecting vine rows in the vineyard images. Moreover, its adaptive features allow it to obtain optimal results in the presence of uneven image illumination due, for example, to the presence of clouds or steep terrain slopes. The extracted row and inter-row information, besides being the basis for vineyard characterization maps computation, like vine plants vigor maps, could also be used as a reference for other precision viticulture tasks such as, for example, path planning of unmanned ground vehicles.

In order to detect the common defects on peaches using hyperspectral imaging, defects were divided into two different types: artificial defects and non-artificial defects. For artificial defect detection, a two-step multivariate analysis method (Monte CarloUninformative Variable Elimination and successful projections algorithm) was conducted in the spectral domain for the discriminant wavelength (DW) selection, and then minimum noise fraction (MNF) transform was conducted on the images at DWs for image processing and artificial defect detection. For the candidate non-artificial defect detection, a pair of two characteristic wavelengths at 925nm and 726nm was selected by analyzing the full spectra of sound and non-artificial defective regions, and then a band math equation was constructed for differentiating the nonartificial defect regions and stems from the sound and physical damage regions, and the candidate non-artificial defects (including non-artificial defects and stems) could be segmented by using a simple threshold method. In order to distinguish the stem from the segmented candidate non-artificial defect regions, another band math equation was constructed based on another pair of two characteristic wavelengths at 650nm and 675nm for stem identification. ver más...

The ultra-high resolution of UAV images, and the powerful tools provided by the Object Based Image Analysis (OBIA) are the key in achieving this objective. The present research work develops an innovative thresholding OBIA algorithm based on the Otsu’s method, and studies how the results of this algorithm are affected by the different segmentation parameters (scale, shape and compactness). ver más...

Each garlic cultivar gave different semiconductor gas sensor array response patterns, which we analysed using two-dimensional principal component analysis (PCA). The method was able to detect the differences between cultivars using a PCA-optimized set of five sensors without any significant loss of performance compared to the original eight sensors. The performance of the electronic nose system was confirmed using two alternative methods, namely (1) the cluster analysis of the genetic relationships between garlic cultivars using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers, and (2) measuring the concentrations of sulfur-containing compounds in each garlic cultivar by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Four Thai garlic cultivars were consistently characterized and placed in three groups using the AFLP, GC–MS, and electronic nose methods. These results suggest that garlic cultivars can be classified simply and quickly using a low-cost electronic nose system. ver más...

Such travel distances increase the vulnerability of the industry to climatic variability and extreme events. Infrastructure investments in roads, bridges, processors and storage, along with changes in policy, have the potential to substantially reduce costs and increase resilience of the agriculture industries. In this paper, we outline the model, TRAnsport Network Strategic Investment Tool (TRANSIT) which is based on ArcGIS, and utilizes the Origin to Destination Cost Matrix solver within the Network Analyst toolkit. TRANSIT estimates the transport costs for all movements between enterprises, accommodating road conditions, vehicle types, vehicle access restrictions and regulatory requirements. TRANSIT was applied to the northern Australia livestock industry, consisting of 12 million cattle across 10,000 enterprises and 89,000 unique trips between these enterprises. Its ability to estimate the transport benefits from road upgrades, new processing facilities and biosecurity changes are shown using three priority case studies identified by industry and government. ver más...

Considering that agricultural vehicles that use fossil fuels emit significant amounts of atmospheric pollutants, the main objective of this paper is to include techniques to reduce the fuel consumption in the controls system of robotic tractors used in agriculture tasks and thereby reduce the atmospheric emissions from these automated applications. To achieve this goal, the first step is to analyze fuel consumption in real time for each of the applications to be improved and to implement the consumption model of a robotic tractor for each task, considering the mechanical energy variations, the performance losses, the energy used to overcome friction and the energy required by the given task. For calculating the mechanical energy, the model considers the potential energy of the system, which is a function of the mass, elevation and gravity. The terrain elevations are estimated from GeoTIFF images of DEM data, which have a pixel size equal to 1arc second (approximately 30m at the Equator), and an accuracy of integer meters. Regarding the system mass, the possible loss of mass from applying the treatment is considered. For estimating the frictional forces, the rolling resistance coefficient of the terrain surface conditions is used. The consumption model has been validated experimentally using real agricultural vehicles and implements within the RHEA project (FP7-NMP 245986), in which the instantaneous fuel consumption was measured. This fuel reduction method is applied to three different treatments: weed control on herbaceous crops through the spraying of herbicides, weed control on fire-resistant crops with wide furrows through plowing and flame treatment, and pest control on trees through fumigation using insecticides. ver más...

Source: Journal of African Earth Sciences Author(s): Ismail chenini , Adel Zguibi , Lamia Kouzana The available litterature was used in this work to review the methodologies for groundwater vulnerability mapping. The objective of the litterature review is to define the vulnerability concept and to discuss the best way to establish aquifer vulnerability maps and the utilities of these maps for groundwater protection. In this study, we explore the hydrodynamic properties of the Grombalia aquifer system in north Tunisia to evaluate the vulnerability of groundwater. The established vulnerability maps are used for groundwater managing and protection. In Grombalia basin, the groundwater resource is used for agriculture and drinking purposes. The intrinsic vulnerability of the phreatic aquifer of Grombalia is mapped using the standard DRASTIC, a modified DRASTIC and a DRIST models. The adopted methodology for the intrinsic vulnerability mapping is based on the hydrogeological system properties. The vulnerability index calculation was used to establish a map with areas of vulnerability degree. This method is based on the combination of various topographical, lithological and hydrogeological data using Geobased Information System software. These methods consider the attribution of a numeric index to each considered parameter. In the established map, 26% of the aquifer extension is vulnerable according to standard DRASTIC model. The modified DRASTIC method, which considers the vadose zone heterogeneity and the aquifer geometry, showed that 17% of the studied area is occupied by a high vulnerability. ver más...

Gago , C. Douthe , R.E. Coopman , P.P. Gallego , M. Ribas-Carbo , J. Flexas , J. Escalona , H. Medrano Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) present an exciting opportunity to monitor crop fields with high spatial and temporal resolution remote sensing capable of improving water stress management in agriculture. In this study, we reviewed the application of different types of UAVs using different remote sensors and compared their performance with ground-truth plant data. Several reflectance indices, such as NDVI, TCARI/OSAVI and PRInorm obtained from UAVs have shown positive correlations related to water stress indicators such as water potential () and stomatal conductance (g s ). Nevertheless, they have performed differently in diverse crops; thus, their uses and applications are also discussed in this study. Thermal imagery is also a common remote sensing technology used to assess water stress in plants, via thermal indices (calculated using artificial surfaces as references), estimates of the difference between canopy and air temperature, and even canopy conductance estimates derived from leaf energy balance models. These indices have shown a great potential to determine field stress heterogeneity using unmanned aerial platforms. It has also been proposed that chlorophyll fluorescence could be an even better indicator of plant photosynthesis and water use efficiency under water stress. Therefore, developing systems and methodologies to easily retrieve fluorescence from UAVs should be a priority for the near future. After a decade of work with UAVs, recently emerging technologies have developed more user-friendly aerial platforms, such as the multi-copters, which offer industry, science, and society new opportunities. Their use as high-throughput phenotyping platforms for real field conditions and also for water stress management increasing temporal and resolution scales could improve our capacity to determine important crop traits such as yield or stress tolerance for breeding purposes. ver más...

Source: Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, Volume 113 Author(s): Stefanos A. Nikolidakis , Dionisis Kandris , Dimitrios D. Vergados , Christos Douligeris Many agricultural activities can be highly enhanced by using digital technologies. One of these activities is the regulation of the quantity of water in cultivated fields, a process which is directly interwoven with the sustainability and the productivity of crops, since insufficient or excessive irrigation may not only be obstructive, but also destructive. This paper proposes a scheme based on the collaboration of an integrated system for automated irrigation management with an advanced novel routing protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), named ECHERP (Equalized Cluster Head Election Routing Protocol). At its core, the proposed system aims at efficiently managing water supply in cultivated fields in an automated way. The system takes into consideration the historical data and the change on the climate values to calculate the quantity of water that is needed for irrigation. In case that the change on the collected values is above a threshold more frequent data collection is proposed to minimize the necessary quantity of water. On the other hand, in case that the change of the values is below a preset threshold then the time interval to collect data can increase to save sensor energy, leading to a prolonged sensor lifetime. The results show that network lifetime using ECHERP is improved up to 1825min and if a round is 110s the model provides energy efficiency using smaller water quantities. ver más...

Source: Energy Policy, Volume 81 Author(s): Tor Håkon Inderberg Responding to a global trend of installing smart meters Norway has taken a route of full governmental and regulatory coordination. The article maps and analyses the main influences on the developments of Norwegian Advanced Metering policy. Based on 12 interviews and extensive document mapping the Norwegian policy developments are traced from about 1990 to 2014, divided into three phases: Before 2000, between 2000 and 2007, and after 2007. It finds that the main influence and push came from an increasingly united industry sector, fronted by the grid utilities with respective interest organizations. Policy change has been boosted by years of constrained supply, creating incentives for political action. Also developments at the EU level have been important for creating attention for smart meters, while consumer groups have been less influential. The national regulator NVE has adapted its policy process to include external expertise, in particular from the grid companies. The findings confirm that influence into policy processes is a matter of financial and organizational resources and expert knowledge. Of particular policy relevance is the weak organization of private consumer interests into these policy streams, which may be important for further policy development for distributed generation and regulation of private generation activities. ver más...

Source: Renewable Energy, Volume 78 Author(s): Federico Bizzarri , Angelo Brambilla , Lorenzo Caretta , Carlo Guardiani An approach allowing the on-target computation of efficiency and yield of large (hundreds of kW), grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) parks is presented. An efficiency metric is used to trigger alarms and to plan maintenance interventions. An accurate simulation model of the system, that is capable of taking into account all relevant environmental variables, has been used to precisely determine the expected baseline performances. Measured and simulated power together with string current data are constantly updated and monitored and then processed by using a novel figure of merit (FOM), to define aggregate efficiency indices both at the overall park level and at single string level. Aggregate indices on strings narrow down the search for sub-performing elements and allow the determination, possibly in one day, of whether the entire PV system or one of its components is not performing as expected. A workflow based on this approach is introduced along with some case studies attesting its effectiveness. ver más...

Source: Applied Energy, Volume 146 Author(s): Linni Jian , Yanchong Zheng , Xinping Xiao , C.C. Chan Vehicleto-grid (V2G) operation of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) is attracting increasing attention since it can assist to improve the efficiency and reliability of power grid, as well as reduce the operating cost and greenhouse gas emission of electric vehicles. Within the scheme of V2G operation, PEVs are expected to serve as a novel distributed energy storage system (ESS) to help achieve the balance between supply and demand of power grid. One of the key difficulties concerning its practical implementation lies in that the availability of PEVs as ESS for grid remains highly uncertain due to their mobility as transportation tools. To address this issue, a novel event-triggered scheduling scheme for V2G operation based on the scenario of stochastic PEV connection to smart grid is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the mathematical model is formulated. Secondly, the preparation of input data for systematic evaluation is introduced and the case study is conducted. Finally, statistic analysis results demonstrate that our proposed V2G scheduling scheme can dramatically smooth out the fluctuation in power load profiles. Graphical abstract ver más...

Source: Journal of Power Sources, Volume 281 Author(s): Bin Wang , Jun Xu , Binggang Cao , Xuan Zhou This paper proposes a novel topology of multimode hybrid energy storage system (HESS) and its energy management strategy for electric vehicles (EVs). Compared to the conventional HESS, the proposed multimode HESS has more operating modes and thus it could in further enhance the efficiency of the system. The rule-based control strategy and the power-balancing strategy are developed for the energy management strategy to realize mode selection and power distribution. Generally, the DC–DC converter will operate at peak efficiency to convey the energy from the batteries to the UCs. Otherwise, the pure battery mode or the pure ultracapacitors (UCs) mode will be utilized without the DC–DC converter. To extend the battery life, the UCs have the highest priority to recycle the energy and the batteries are isolated from being recharged directly during regenerative braking. Simulations and experiments are established to validate the proposed multimode HESS and its energy management strategy. The results reveal that the energy losses in the DC–DC converter, the total energy consumption and the overall system efficiency of the proposed multimode HESS are improved compared to the conventional HESS. ver más...

Karagiannidis The smart electricity grid enables a two-way flow of power and data between suppliers and consumers in order to facilitate the power flow optimization in terms of economic efficiency, reliability and sustainability. This infrastructure permits the consumers and the microenergy producers to take a more active role in the electricity market and the dynamic energy management (DEM). The most important challenge in a smart grid (SG) is how to take advantage of the users' participation in order to reduce the cost of power. However, effective DEM depends critically on load and renewable production forecasting. This calls for intelligent methods and solutions for the real-time exploitation of the large volumes of data generated by a vast amount of smart meters. Hence, robust data analytics, high performance computing, efficient data network management, and cloud computing techniques are critical towards the optimized operation of SGs. This research aims to highlight the big data issues and challenges faced by the DEM employed in SG networks. It also provides a brief description of the most commonly used data processing methods in the literature, and proposes a promising direction for future research in the field. ver más...

Source: Energy and Buildings Author(s): Amir Kavousian , Ram Rajagopal , Martin Fischer This paper offers a novel method to rank residential appliance energy efficiency utilizing energy efficiency frontiers. The method is validated using a real-world case study of 4231 buildings in Ireland. Our results show that structural factors have the largest impact on energy efficiency, followed by socioeconomic factors and behavioral factors. For example, households with high penetration of efficient lightbulbs and double-glazed windows were on average 4 and 3.5 percent more efficient than others. Households with the head of household having higher education are on average 1.3 percent more efficient than their peers. Finally, households that track their energy savings are on average 0.4 percent more efficient than others. Furthermore, installing heater timers, wall insulation, and living in owned residences were correlated with higher efficiency. Generally, families with kids who have full-time employment and are highly-educated are more efficient compared to families with no kids, or families with retirees or unemployed members. This result has important implications for both targeting and messaging of energy efficiency programs. Some behavioral factors demonstrated significant impact on appliance energy efficiency. For instance, households that expressed interest in making major energy-saving lifestyle changes scored higher efficiency ranks on average. Conversely, households that expressed doubt about their motivation to save energy ranked lower in efficiency. This finding validates the role of educational programs to increase awareness about energy efficiency and its importance. In short, our results show that a data-driven analysis of a population is needed to develop a balanced view of the drivers of energy efficiency, and to devise a targeted approach to improve homes’ energy efficiency. ver más...

The design guidelines were: to minimize the consumption of conventional energy in thermal-lighting conditioning, to use traditional technology, to maximize the thermal comfort, and to reach an extra-cost lower than 10%. The post-occupancy monitoring of the building was performed along one complete year (August 9th 2011–August 18th 2012). Data-loggers were installed in each functional area to sense the indoor temperature and relative humidity at time steps of 10min. A meteorological station was installed near the building. The experimental results showed that during winter the average temperature in the areas of permanent use was 20.3°C (average outdoor temperature: 10.1°C) and the heating energy consumption was around 73.5kWh/m2. During summer the average indoor temperature in the building was 26.9°C, 1.7°C below the outdoor temperature average (28.6°C); cooling systems were turned on when the indoor temperature reached 28°C, at approximately 11:30 AM, when the outdoor air temperature exceeded 30°C. Mechanical cooling consumed around 59% of the daily electricity consumption. The PDD results obtained for winter and summer representative days meet the requirements of ISO Norm 7730. Heating and cooling energy saving was around 63% and 76.5% respectively. The monitoring showed that the thermal behavior and energy performance met the expectations of both designers and users, and it is considered satisfactory and promising for low-energy consumption buildings. ver más...
