In this tech-savvy society, energy consumed by buildings is rapidly increasing which is a challenge to control, thus it became a global concern. The annual energy consumption by residential and commercial buildings is between 30% and 40% in developed countries. The largest source of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the building sector is from the already existing establishments. The biggest contributor to these types of energy usage is the HVAC (Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system of the facility. In the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.), the average temperature recorded over a year is almost 35°C. Therefore, 70% of the total electricity consumed by the country is due to the air-conditioning system. Lighting systems are another major aspect in the high energy consumption rates in an establishment, a close second to HVAC systems. They are known to consume between 22% and 30% of a building’s energy. This paper describes a few energy efficient technologies through energy auditing (EA) processes, to optimize the energy consumptions, by HVAC and lighting systems. To validate the outcomes obtained through level 1 of EA (walk-through energy analysis), a case study has been carried out in an institutional building located in Dubai, U.A.E. This energy analysis was executed as per the guidelines published by ASHRAE. The recommendations and improvements proposed through the EA analyses are discussed in this paper. From the energy analyses, the efficacy of energy efficient technologies applied to the existing buildings are justified.
在这个科技发达的社会,建筑能耗迅速增加,这是一个难以控制的挑战,因此成为全球关注的问题。在发达国家,住宅和商业建筑的年能耗在30%到40%之间。建筑行业温室气体(ghg)的最大来源是现有设施。这些类型的能源使用的最大贡献者是设施的HVAC(采暖通风和空调)系统。在阿拉伯联合酋长国(uae),一年的平均气温几乎是35摄氏度。因此,全国总耗电量的70%是由于空调系统。照明系统是企业高能耗率的另一个主要方面,仅次于暖通空调系统。众所周知,它们消耗了建筑物22%到30%的能源。本文介绍了通过能源审计(EA)流程来优化暖通空调和照明系统的能源消耗的一些节能技术。为了验证通过一级EA (walk-through energy analysis)获得的结果,在阿联酋迪拜的一座机构建筑中进行了案例研究。该能源分析是根据ASHRAE发布的指南执行的。本文讨论了通过EA分析提出的建议和改进措施。从能源分析来看,节能技术应用于既有建筑的效果是合理的。

Dust accumulation or soiling is a major challenge faced by the solar farm which are in the desert areas where the solar resource is available in plenty. Dust can be classified as any particles on the panels which blocks the sun’s irradiance from reaching the solar cell. Soling is more prominent in solar farm which are placed in non-arid environment (Desert Regions). The performance of the Photovoltaic Systems is greatly affected by dust accumulation or soiling. Current methods used in the markets are costly, labour based, involves periodic battery replacement, more water usage, immense mechanical components and requires cyclic maintenance. This paper presents a low cost, energy efficient, smart dust cleaning technology for PV Panels, which shall mitigate the local climatic challenges in solar farm. The cleaning system is designed, automated using Programmable Logic Controller (ILC 131 ETH) which controls the devices used in the cleaning system and tested successfully. Particularly, the proposed solar cleaning system is expected to enhance the system efficiency of the Solar panels in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries which have climatic conditions of dusty weather conditions.

This paper focuses on studying the energy consumption of the Fluorescent Lights (FL) employed in an educational labrotory and office facility in a university building. The study takes into consideration energy consumption, performance, and thermal air conditioning load of FL. In order to obtain precise results, investigation and experimental testing were carried out for the existing lighting fixtures and compared through the DIALux simulation for lighting performance. The simulation results elucidated that only 25% of the illuminance level required was being provided at an average luminous flux per unit area of 122.44 lux in the laboratory and 294 lux in the office room. With the initial proposed LED comaptible fixtures, 48% of energy reduction with 37 lm/W higher efficacy were achieved. This proposal was later amended with fewer and more efficient LED fixtures which leads to 58% of energy reduction, 63 lm/W higher effcacy and 378 lux more. By extending this investigation to the entire building, the total amount of power saving lead to saving 80,0882 kWh in energy consumption per year.

The penetration of renewable energy into the electricity supply mix necessitates the traditional power grid to become more resilient, reliable and efficient. One way of ensuring this is to require renewable power plants to have similar regulating properties as conventional power plants and to coordinate their grid support services (GSS) as well. Among other requirements, the coordination of GSS will highly depend on the communication between renewable plants and system operators’ control rooms, thereby imposing high responsibility on the under lying communication infrastructure. Despite such a widespread deployment, it is still neither completely known which communication technology solutions are currently in use, nor it is clear which of these technologies best fit to access and control these renewable plants in future. This is because of varying communication requirements for different GSS applications - in terms of data payloads, sampling rates, latency and reliability. Therefore, this paper presents a brief survey on the control and communication architectures for controlling renewable power plants in the future power grid, including the communication network technologies, requirements, and research challenges. To help identifying research problems in the continued studies, this paper attempts to ascertain how the underlying protocols in a communication stack influence timely and reliable communication in the said scenario.

The impact of existing buildings on the environment is increasing. There is the need to realign and focus on achieving true sustainability that considers sustainable upgrade of existing built facilities. Thus a detailed sustainable upgrade (SU) to improve energy efficiency requires critical understanding of all the parameters likely to impact energy savings actions. Sustainable upgrade of existing buildings adopts sustainable technologies (STs) to reduce the impact of high energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The purpose of this paper is to identify the main STs adopted to improve energy performance of existing building. A detailed literature review on the nature and characteristics of SU and the technologies adopted was undertaken as part of the overall methodology. A survey, based on questionnaire with all the STs adopted was administered to professionals in the sustainability industry in Australia. The results from statistical analyses of the survey responses show a total of 21 technologies which are mostly adopted. A factor analysis shows the main components as: lighting and automation, HAVC, envelope, renewable energy, HVAC equipment, and Passive technologies.

This paper demonstrated an optimal hybrid system with diesel generator (DG), photovoltaic (PV), micro-hydro and energy storage system (ESS) for an indigenous village located at the rural area using HOMER Pro software. This paper study the cost of electricity of a standalone hybrid system for an indigenous village by modeling the load profile, solar irradiation, and streamflow of the site. According to the local electric utility company, the maximum demand of the rural resident house is 1.5kW. To meet the maximum demand, a hybrid system with DG, PV, micro-hydro, and ESS is required. However, it is difficult to transport diesel fuel to the village because it is located in the remote area in the forest. Hence, an alternative solution is to allow a certain percentage of capacity shortage to reduce the maximum demand. The COE of the hybrid system with a capacity shortage of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% are RM0.586, RM0.432 RM0.388, RM0.381, RM0.325 and RM0.293 respectively. Elimination of the DG from the hybrid system results in a lower COE, zero emission of carbon dioxide and the transportation of diesel fuel. It is found that the electrification for the village has a cost of electricity lower than the utility electricity cost when the capacity shortage more than 20%.

Energy communities, based on distributed energy production and energy storage, will increasingly gain in importance. Such, like other self-organized communities, will exploit their full potential when well-designed rules foster cooperative behavior among its members. Until now, Smart Grid literature has neglected to integrate the individuals’ preferences for different rule-settings. Without such, integration of energy communities in Smart Grid Architecture is aggravated. We approach this urgency by presenting a bottom-up approach for rule settings among energy communities, i.e. integration of personal preferences for design-requirements. This article presents a framework, the Energy Community Management Framework, which determines the functionality of energy communities based on the individuals’ preferences for energy related rule settings, facilitating the integration of such in the Smart Grid Architecture.

A system architecture is a high level design that enables to represent a (complex) system. As architectures are abstract entities, they must be expressed through their architecture descriptions. These descriptions are documents that arise as the result of activities related to the architecture development. In this work, we propose a practical system architecture definition based on some related concepts as architecture framework, reference model, standards and reference architecture. We also identify the features that an architecture must have as a guide for its development. Then, we analyze the most relevant Smart Grid architectures proposals, looking for whether they include or not a Data Management perspective. Data management is a high-level function that seeks to manage appropriately every aspect associated to data and information assets in an organization. Data is an important asset in smart grid domain. We conclude that there is an important gap between the Smart Grid Data Management requirements and the guides in the reviewed architectures.

After setting expected failure during power grid operation risk assessment, failure isolation contains two steps, one is to identify the switches that should be disconnected, which are called shift switches, the other is to disconnect the shift switches. This paper proposes a method of identifying shift switch of expected failure isolation, where substation topology and complex wiring are considered. First, from the viewpoint of failure isolating effect, failure elements are classified into independent elements and element groups. Second, element group and its composition are obtained according to its structural features. Then, the method of identifying shift switches of failure isolations for all kinds of failure elements is established. Finally, the proposed method is validated by applying it to classical failures of a practical power grid.
