This paper depicts the results of a detailed energy audit, analysis, and implementation of energy efficient operations and maintenance strategies in a large commercial mall in Kuwait. Initially, the cooling towers (CTs) operated only at high speed, and on a typical summer day, nearly one-fourth of the make-up water was used for self-cooling of air. The study based on measured data and analysis, for a period of one year, revealed that the use of variable frequency drive (VFD) could reduce the water wastage for self-cooling of air by as much as 75% and overall water consumption by 18.6% while keeping the cooling system performance at the design level. An optimization model was developed, suitable exclusively for arid climatic conditions. Implementation of various energy efficient operation and maintenance strategies (EEO&MS) with ventilation and air-conditioning (VAC), and lighting systems obtained an overall reduction of 9879 MWh/y, equivalent to a percentage reduction of 11.7% in the annual energy consumption and a 345 kW in peak power demand. The study estimated an economical benefit of 19,958 KD/y for the owners and to the Ministry of Electricity and Water, in addition to a considerable environmental benefit of deduction in CO2 emissions by 6990 t/y.

The developments of domestic and foreign specialists in the field of improving the energy efficiency of mobile diesel compressor stations of the oil and gas industry is studied. The disadvantages of existing mobile diesel compressor stations in terms of their energy efficiency are identified. Theoretical studies of energy efficiency directions and designs of existing mobile diesel compressor stations have been carried out. It has been studied that for efficient operation of a compressor station it is rational to increase the load of compressors and organize the operation of equipment in energy-efficient modes. Ways to improve the energy efficiency of mobile diesel compressor stations with various options are proposed. It has been established that the optimal way to increase energy efficiency is to reduce the gas temperature to lower temperatures, in comparison with the existing gas cooling systems of compressor stations. It is found that with an increase in the degree of pressure, the savings in gas compression for a compressor with a promising scheme for intermediate gas cooling also increase. An indicator diagram of compressor stations with various cooling schemes has been built. The scheme of the existing system of multi-stage gas cooling of mobile diesel compressor stations is investigated. An improved energy-efficient cooling system for compressed gas by using the heat of compression of gases is proposed. The conclusion about the existence of a reserve to reduce the energy costs of compression due to the use of a coolant-cooler with a temperature significantly lower than the ambient temperature is presented. The description of the working processes of mobile diesel compressor stations according to the existing and perspective schemes is made.

Industrial and academic communities have been trying to get more computational power out of their investments. Data centers have recently received huge attention due to its increased business value and achievable scalability on public/private clouds. Infra-structure and applications of modern data center is being virtualized to achieve energy efficient operation on servers. Despite of data center advantages on performance, there is a tradeoff between power and performance especially with cloud data centers. Today, these cloud application-based organizations are facing many energy related challenges. In this paper, through survey it has been analyzed how virtualization and networking related challenges affects energy efficiency of data center with suggested optimization strategies.

This article studies the implementation of some well-known principles of information work of biological systems in the input unit of the neuroprocessor, including spike coding of information used in models of neural networks of the latest generation.<br> The development of modern neural network IT gives rise to a number of urgent tasks at the junction of several scientific disciplines. One of them is to create a hardware platform&nbsp;— a neuroprocessor for energy-efficient operation of neural networks. Recently, the development of nanotechnology of the main units of the neuroprocessor relies on combined memristor super-large logical and storage matrices. The matrix topology is built on the principle of maximum integration of programmable links between nodes. This article describes a method for implementing biomorphic neural functionality based on programmable links of a highly integrated 3D logic matrix.<br> This paper focuses on the problem of achieving energy efficiency of the hardware used to model neural networks. The main part analyzes the known facts of the principles of information transfer and processing in biological systems from the point of view of their implementation in the input unit of the neuroprocessor. The author deals with the scheme of an electronic neuron implemented based on elements of a 3D logical matrix. A pulsed method of encoding input information is presented, which most realistically reflects the principle of operation of a sensory biological neural system. The model of an electronic neuron for selecting ranges of technological parameters in a real 3D logic matrix scheme is analyzed. The implementation of disjunctively normal forms is shown, using the logic function in the input unit of a neuroprocessor as an example. The results of modeling fragments of electric circuits with memristors of a 3D logical matrix in programming mode are presented.<br> The author concludes that biomorphic pulse coding of standard digital signals allows achieving a high degree of energy efficiency of the logic elements of the neuroprocessor by reducing the number of valve operations. Energy efficiency makes it possible to overcome the thermal limitation of the scalable technology of three-dimensional layout of elements in memristor crossbars.

Dynamic Cluster

Dynamic and frequent re-clustering of nodes along with data aggregation is used to achieve energy-efficient operation in wireless sensor networks. But dynamic cluster formation supports data aggregation only when clusters can be formed using any set of nodes that lie in close proximity to each other. Frequent re-clustering makes network management difficult and adversely affects the use of energy efficient TDMA-based scheduling for data collection within the clusters. To circumvent these issues, a centralized Fixed-Cluster Architecture (FCA) has been proposed in this paper. The proposed scheme leads to a simplified network implementation for smart spaces where it makes more sense to aggregate data that belongs to a cluster of sensors located within the confines of a designated area. A comparative study is done with dynamic clusters formed with a distributive Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) and a centralized Harmonic Search Algorithm (HSA). Using uniform cluster size for FCA, the results show that it utilizes the available energy efficiently by providing stability period values that are 56% and 41% more as compared to LEACH and HSA respectively.
