The recent advancements in soldering technologies consume comparatively higher resources and need to be optimized for resource efficient production which is also the motivation for the present work. This paper has an energy consumption reduction perspective by considering a detailed analysis of operation and system component interactions with respect to various use phase regimes of the reflow oven in electronics manufacturing. The methodology derives a detailed analysis and monitoring of all electrical energy intensive components of the oven. The soldering process phase requires a state based modification of electrical energy consumption for non-productive process times. An optimization model enables to define the optimal state within a given waiting time window on energy-minimal operating state trajectories in the oven. Using the modelling framework, a strategic decision making processes that make it possible to exploit the potential for energy consumption minimization of any non-productive times is introduced.","PeriodicalId":142240,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Conference on Technologies for Sustainability (SusTech)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126111151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indonesia is geographically located close to the equator and the islands have an abundance of natural resources. Indonesia has become one of the World's biggest coal and natural gas exporters. However, Indonesia struggles to achieve a good balance between energy security, environmental standards and economic growth. Development of a sustainable energy policy is seen as a key aspect that will allow Indonesia to achieve improved environmental standards. The development of Indonesian energy policy can be traced back to 1981 with the development of KUBE (Kebijakan Umum Bidang Energi) which aimed to achieve energy conservation and diversification. Since then Indonesian energy policy has been regularly updated (in 1987, 1991, 1993 and 2003). In the 2005 update, Indonesia set targets to achieve a 17% contribution from renewable energy in the energy mix by 2025 and reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by 26% in 2020. In 2014, as part of the National Energy Policy (KEN), Indonesia updated their energy policy to reflect the latest energy growth and trends. This study explores the trends in Indonesia's energy and environment issues through a comprehensive review of the published literature on issues such as energy development, air pollution, GHG emissions and sociopolitical aspects of energy, from 1982 to 2016. This information is analysed to help understand how energy supply and use interacts with the environment and what this might mean for future energy policy in Indonesia","PeriodicalId":142240,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Conference on Technologies for Sustainability (SusTech)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132751845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a generic optimization framework and examines a case study where a flat rooftop located in Edmonton, Alberta is investigated for the installation of a photovoltaic array. The objectives of this study are to maximize power generation while minimizing the system cost. This case study represents a proposed generic framework that fulfills this optimization problem. Solar power generation per month is forecasted using historical generation data. Panels can be installed at different tilt angles and varying inter-row spacing in order to achieve the optimal design. Designing an effective layout is important when installing solar panels, as the increased shade coverage or the wide variation from the normal angle of the sun can result in a loss of energy generation. The capital cost and payback period for the investment are also important factors when determining whether or not a photovoltaic system layout (inter-row spacing, tilt angle, etc.) is considered optimal. Analytic hierarchy process is used to weigh the decision factors and determine the optimal layout.","PeriodicalId":142240,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Conference on Technologies for Sustainability (SusTech)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129314447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These services can be dynamically combined and/or purchased, much like in a cloud computing platform, to establish service dependencies between energy producers and consumers. Moreover, OASIS features an open energy market where the underlying electric resources and services are open to access and provisioning by third parties, maximizing the benefits of smart grids. Thus, OASIS can implement the concept of transactive energy. This can ensure a set of redundant and independent providers of electric and cloud services, some of which might be common citizens whose home has a solar or wind system. This latter aspect makes sustainable energy sources first-class elements in the system.

A simulation model is built in this project to investigate the contribution of the modeling of dispatchable energy such as solar energy, wind power, hydro power and energy storage to the balance of the microgrid power system.

To increase the energy efficiency of a solar array, maximum power output is desired. There are three major approaches for maximizing power extraction from a solar array. They are sun tracking, maximum power point (MPP) tracking or a combination of both. The sun-tracking design can increase energy yield up to 50% over the year compared to the fixed-array design. The purpose of this paper is to present a dual-axis sun tracker using solar panels as sensors. The two sensors output voltage difference drives a power transistor that control the sun tracker motor. A similar approach is used to track the sun movement from North to South over the period of a year. To enhance the overall performance of the system, a PID controller was included in the feedback loop. MATLAB software is used to simulate the composite system.

Installation of DG not only alters the load flow in the distribution network but can also affect the fault current during a grid disturbance. The effect of DG integration on a system can be investigated for two different types of DG: Inverter based DG (IBDGs), and Non-Inverter based DG. IBDGs have the lowest contribution to faults due to its overload handling characteristic. On the other hand, Non-Inverter based DG, generally synchronous and induction machines based DG, have higher contribution to fault currents. The contribution of inverter based and non-inverter based DGs to the fault currents depends on multiple aspects such as, control methods implemented under fault condition, penetration factor, fault location and system impedance.

In this paper auto-catalytic metallization is studied as the best candidate to replace the old process. Inductors designs were fabricated and measured. Similar inductors were made by high-resolution inkjet printers using silver nanoparticles. Comparison of these two methods showed lower resistivity of conductors and significant improvement in the quality of inductors fabricated using autocatalytic method. This new method is additive and eliminates the use of hazardous chemicals such as acids and solvents during the fabrication process.
