The document analyzes the optimal renewable fraction for a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system serving an office building in Indonesia. Simulations were conducted using HOMER software to determine the impact of renewable fraction on PV system size, electricity purchased from and sold to the grid, and net present cost (NPC). The results showed that a renewable fraction of 58% achieved the lowest total NPC, where 58% of electricity is supplied by the PV and 42% is purchased from the grid. Higher renewable fractions increased PV and inverter costs, outweighing revenue from electricity sales. Therefore, a renewable fraction of 58% represents the optimum design for minimizing total NPC and carbon dioxide emissions.
Smart buildings aim to reduce energy consumption and peak demand through advanced controls and monitoring occupancy. Technologies like smart meters, sensors, and automated systems allow more efficient operation based on presence and pricing signals. Case studies show potential for demand response through load shifting and peak shaving. However, measuring efficiency solely based on area or consumption can miss factors like occupation density and operating hours. Advanced metrics accounting for these issues may better indicate actual performance.

Energy Harvesting Alternatives for Powering Critical WSN Based and Autonomous...ijtsrd
Wireless Sensor Network WSN applications in the industry, domestic and commercial sectors are becoming quite interesting and exciting. For instance, since January 2005, major International Oil and Gas companies IOCs operating in Nigeria Niger Delta region have made wireless sensor network the defacto monitoring system for their vast oil and gas pipelines, oil wells and other facilities. This is because wireless technology has vast advantages over their wired counterpart. Despite the interest generated by the varied advantage of wireless sensor nodes in the oil and gas industry and other sectors, the biggest challenge lie in the limited battery energy of these tiny wireless sensor nodes. Battery energy of the wireless sensors are so limited that it will take maximum of one year to deplete and that will require massive replacements of the batteries so that the network will still be functional. This is almost impossible or very costly for a field of thousands or millions of wireless sensor nodes. This paper will examine the possibility of harvesting ambient or environmental energy sources such as RF, solar, piezoelectric, thermal etc to store and power these wireless sensor nodes so that the need for massive battery replacements will be avoided and costs saved.

IRJET- Analysis of Energy - Efficient Measures for Architectural BuildingIRJET Journal
This document analyzes energy efficient measures that can be implemented in commercial buildings in India to reduce energy consumption. It finds that commercial buildings account for 50% of electricity use in India due to widespread air conditioning. Potential measures discussed include installing electronic ballasts for fluorescent lights, implementing air-to-air heat recovery systems, optimizing control sequences for multiple identical chillers, and using variable speed drives for equipment like chillers and pumps. Modeling shows the control sequence optimization and variable speed drives for chillers have payback periods of under 3 years, making them highly cost-effective options.
This document summarizes Hawaii's progress towards achieving its goal of generating 70% of the state's energy from clean, renewable sources by 2030. It outlines that Hawaii has become a leader in clean energy and has seen over $1 billion in economic growth from its clean energy industries in 2011. It also details the state's Renewable Portfolio Standard goals of achieving 10% renewable energy by 2010, 15% by 2015, 25% by 2020, and 40% by 2030 according to a mandate for each electric utility. Charts show that while progress has been made, more work remains to meet the ambitious 2030 goal.
To deliver power more responsibly and more efficiently, energy and utilities organizations are working toward a smarter energy value chain: (1) Transformation of the grid, (2) Empowerment of consumers, (3) Ensuring cleaner energy supply.

The document discusses Israel's transition to smart energy. It introduces the Israeli Smart Energy Consortium, a national association representing government, private sector, and non-profits working to develop smart energy solutions. The consortium aims to achieve economic growth through sustainable energy solutions. Several founding members are listed, along with examples of technologies being developed by members like Siemens, Mobix, Greenlet, and Joulex to implement smart grid, demand response, energy management, and microgrid solutions.
The document discusses challenges in balancing electricity supply and demand in the UK grid as the generation mix shifts to lower carbon sources. It notes that while the system is capable of meeting challenges up to 2020, significant uncertainty exists beyond then as different types of intermittent generation and loads come online in different locations. This will stress networks and balancing operations. A whole systems approach is needed to address risks through tools like increased interconnection, electricity storage, and demand side response. Government must consider actions to ensure a secure, affordable and efficient transition of the electricity system to a low carbon future.
The document provides an overview of smart grids and the technological advancements that convert normal power grids into smart grids. Some key points:
1. Traditional power grids are inefficient and not well-suited for renewable energy sources, but smart grids use information technology to actively monitor and respond to changes in power demand, supply, costs, and emissions across the entire electrical system.
2. Smart grids are achieved by designing green building energy systems that use locally generated electricity from renewable sources and implement a smart energy management network.
3. Key components of green building energy systems include thermal power networks, DC electric power networks linking different renewable energy sources, AC electric power networks to power existing equipment, and a smart energy management network
The document analyzes the potential for renewable energy sources to meet electricity and total energy demand in peninsular Spain by 2050. It finds that renewable sources could generate over 56 times the required electricity and over 10 times the total energy demand, with solar and wind providing most of the potential. A 100% renewable mix is technically feasible with widespread distribution of resources. While challenging, transitioning to renewables could solve climate change by substituting them for fossil fuels.
This document discusses the growing wind power industry and the role of wind technicians. It makes three key points:
1) The size of wind turbines has doubled every 5 years, with turbines larger than 3MW expected to become common. This growth is increasing demand for wind technicians.
2) The European wind industry is expected to employ around 330,000 workers by 2020, up from 155,000 in 2007, as countries work to meet renewable energy and emissions reduction targets.
3) Effective training programs that provide cross-competency education on electrical, mechanical, and safety systems are needed to develop skilled wind technicians who can perform complex maintenance and operations tasks in challenging environments.
