Subsoiling has been acknowledged worldwide to break compacted hardpan, improve soil permeability and water storage capacity, and promote topsoil deepening and root growth. However, there exist certain factors which limit the wide in-field application of subsoiling machines. Of these factors, the main two are poor subsoiling quality and high energy consumption, especially the undesired tillage depth obtained in the field with cover crops. Based on the analysis of global adoption and benefits of subsoiling technology, and application status of subsoiling machines, this article reviewed the research methods, technical characteristics, and developing trends in five key aspects, including subsoiling shovel design, anti-drag technologies, technologies of tillage depth detection and control, and research on soil mechanical interaction. Combined with the research progress and application requirements of subsoiling machines across the globe, current problems and technical difficulties were analyzed and summarized. Aiming to solve these problems, improve subsoiling quality, and reduce energy consumption, this article proposed future directions for the development of subsoiling machines, including optimizing the soil model in computer simulation, strengthening research on the subsoiling mechanism and comprehensive effect, developing new tillage depth monitoring and control systems, and improving wear-resisting properties of subsoiling shovels.

Increasing in energy consumption, particularly with the ever-increasing growth and development of urban systems, has become a major concern in most countries. In this paper, the authors propose a cost-effective ZigBee-based building energy monitoring and control system (ZBEMCS), which is composed of a gateway, a base station, and sensors. Specifically, a new hardware platform for power sensor nodes is developed to perform both local/remote power parameter measurement and power on/off switching for electric appliances. The experimental results show that the ZBEMCS can easily monitor energy usage with a high level of accuracy. Two typical applications of ZBEMCS such as subentry metering and household metering of building energy are presented. The former includes lighting socket electricity, HVAC electricity, power electricity and special electricity. The latter includes household metering according to the campus’s main function zone and each college or department. Therefore, this system can be used for energy consumption monitoring, long-term energy conservation planning, and the development of automated energy conservation for building applications.

The Coordinator

The continuous advance of the policy about ‘Energy saving and emission reduction’, along with the continuous development of information technology, control technology, which bring profitable conditions for the monitoring and control over the building (here mainly refers to the large building of government, commercial or industrial user). In particular, a interaction and monitoring system is proposed, which is used to monitor the parameters about energy consumption of energy consumption system or equipment inside the building, in addition the information about the running of the energy consumption system or equipment. At the same time, the relevant units of the energy consumption system or equipment is controlled by the interaction and monitoring system. The interaction and monitoring system for energy saving in building consists of the node for energy saving and monitoring, wireless sensor network (hereinafter referred to as WSN), the platform for energy saving and monitoring, making up the three-layer structure of the interaction and monitoring system inside the building. The node for energy saving and monitoring is a wireless sensor actually, which plays the role as collecting data and controlling. Along with the other nodes for energy saving and monitoring, as well as the nodes acting as repeater, router, coordinator, all nodes inside the building compose the WSN. The node acting as the repeater is of great significance for the transmission of data, especially when some nodes for energy saving and monitoring is located in underground building and some other places where the signal of WSN is blocked, as well as the places far away from the neighbor nodes of WSN. The coordinator is located on the platform for energy saving and monitoring, meanwhile the function of gateway is integrated in the node acting as the coordinator. This node converge the data of the WSN, and transfers the data to the server of the platform for energy saving and monitoring.

Issue Reports

Abstract— This year, citizens were complaining that the power companies were overcharging their bills because of the pandemic, but investigations in previous years also showed claims in Peru and internationally. In this work, the Scrum Methodology was used for the development of the mobile application and the Balsamiq tool was used for the design of the prototype. In addition, the Arduino tool was used for the electricity consumption meter. As for the case study, we developed the prototypes of the application with its functions and the methodology of how it is elaborated, at the same time we described the way in which the meter will be implemented with Arduino. The results obtained from the research are that people can compare the consumption of the bill issued by the electricity company and the consumption shown by the Arduino meter, in addition to the union of the mobile application with the meter will allow them to consult the consumption and also issue reports having a better control of electricity. This work can be implemented not only in the cities, but also in remote places where traditional meters have not been implemented.

With focus on Higher Order Neural Units (HONUs), this chapter reviews two recently introduced adaptive novelty detection algorithms based on supervised learning of HONU with extension to adaptive monitoring of existing control loops. Further, the chapter also introduces a novel approach for novelty detection via local model monitoring with Self-organizing Map (SOM) and HONU. Further, it is discussed how these principles can be used to distinguish between external and internal perturbations of identified plant or control loops. The simulation result will demonstrates the potentials of the algorithms for single-input plants as well as for some representative of multiple-input plants and for the improvement of their control.
