In a clustering approach, the Cluster Head node loses a significant amount of energy during transmission to base station. So the selection of Cluster Head is very critical. In this work a centralized protocol for Cluster Head selection in MSN is discussed, which is run at the base station, thus reducing the nodes' energy consumption and increasing their life-time. The primary idea is implemented using a fuzzy-logic based selection of Cluster Head from among the nodes of network, which is concluded depending on two parameters, the current energy of the node and the distance of the node from the base station. The simulation results show increasing the network lifetime.","PeriodicalId":340262,"journal":{"name":"ChemRN: Energy Systems (Topic)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127768728","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}

It is found that 79% of the respondents are aware of gas subsidy and still 21% of the respondents are not aware of gas subsidy. The study displays that 55% of the respondent’s expenses for cooking fuel are less than Rs.1000, 38% of the respondent’s expenses for LPG are Rs.1000-1500 and 7% of the respondent’s expenses are above Rs.1500 per month. 78% of the respondent’s opinion is easy in registration of cylinders. 22% of the respondents said they are not satisfied. Out of 180 respondents 54% of the households fitting regulator improper, 35% of the household’s gas leakage problem is due to long duration of tube, 11% of the household’s negligence of gas leakage. The mean monthly family income of the households works out to be Rs.11,700. In order to find out the significant difference in satisfaction of LPG among the sample respondents based on sex, the ‘t’ value was calculated and the calculated ‘t’ value was found to be 0.5351 which is lower than the table value 1.97 which is significant at 0.05 level.

Indeed, traditional methods in economics employ linear unbiased estimators that pay little attention to accuracy, which is the main problem faced by the sector's regulators. This paper reports the application of various supervised machine learning (SML) techniques to smart card data in order to forecast demand, and it compares these outcomes with traditional linear model estimates. We conclude that the forecasts obtained from these algorithms are much more accurate.","PeriodicalId":340262,"journal":{"name":"ChemRN: Energy Systems (Topic)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114673048","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}

Using these battery representations, we conduct a techno-economic analysis of the performance of a 10 MWh lithium-ion battery system testing the effect of a 5-min vs. a 60-min price signal on profits using real time prices from a selected node in the MISO electricity market. Results show that models of lithium-ion batteries where the power limits and efficiency are held constant overestimate profits by 10% compared to those obtained from an enhanced representation that more closely matches the real behavior of the battery. When the battery system is exposed to a 5-min price signal, the energy arbitrage profitability improves by 60% compared to that from hourly price exposure. These results indicate that a more accurate representation of li-ion batteries as well as the market rules that govern the frequency of electricity prices can play a major role on the estimation of the value of battery technologies for power grid applications.","PeriodicalId":340262,"journal":{"name":"ChemRN: Energy Systems (Topic)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122059201","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}

In comparison to small-scale GSHPs, large GSHPs are often coupled with hundreds of borehole heat exchangers (BHE), which are more susceptible to significant ground temperature changes due to the intense thermal interactions between the BHE. In this study, we developed a new model to optimize the operation of large-scale GSHPs to mitigate the underground heat/cold accumulation. The Daxing Airport GSHP system, containing 10497 BHE, making it the largest GSHP system in the world, was selected as the target for performance optimization. Four key parameters were optimized, including the cooling/heating starting sequence, operation continuity, thermal load variability, and partition mode. Our results revealed that extreme cold accumulation mainly exists between the BHE arrays, rather than inside a single array. We recommend that spacing of adjacent BHE arrays should be greater. Meanwhile, an operational sequence of cooling, with intermittent operation and constant thermal load, is also suggested. In comparison, the partition mode only lowers the thermal anomaly inside the BHE array. Our findings imply that for large-scale GSHPs, the distance between BHE arrays is the most critical factor impacting performance, which differs from small-scale GSHPs.","PeriodicalId":340262,"journal":{"name":"ChemRN: Energy Systems (Topic)","volume":"14 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":"128743655","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}

Social enterprises are starting to play a vital role in providing services to this neglected customer group but often face difficulties resulting from rural market imperfections. In this study, we aim to address the following research question: how and to what extent can a mini-grid based social enterprise resolve the technical and organisational challenges associated with providing services in a rural BoP environment? Using Husk Power Systems (HPS) as a case study, our interdisciplinary approach navigates the landscape between social entrepreneurship and socio-technical aspects of mini-grid operations in the rural BoP market. The case study is based on interview evidence with ten HPS employees, three founders and 22 user interviews. We make use of narrative analysis to analyse the interview material. The paper argues that continuous conflicts exist between social and commercial objectives concerning mini-grid operations in the rural BoP markets. As this case study reveals, social enterprises need to manage the socio-technical challenges inherent to mini-grid processes; otherwise, customer affordability and business viability become an unsolvable paradox.","PeriodicalId":340262,"journal":{"name":"ChemRN: Energy Systems (Topic)","volume":"47 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":"131088224","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}
