Traditionally, routers and other network devices encompass both data and control functions in most large enterprise networks, making it difficult to adjust the network infrastructure and operation to large-scale addition of end systems, virtual machines, and virtual networks in industrial comprehensive automation. A network organizing technique that has come to recent prominence is the Software-Defined Network (SDN). A novel SDN based industrial control network (SDNICN) was proposed in this paper. Intelligent network components are included in a SDNICN. Switches in SDNICN provided fundamental network interconnection for the whole industrial control network. Network controller is used for data transmission, forwarding and routing control between different layers. Service Management Center (SMC) is essentially responsible for managing various services used in industrial process control. SDNICN can not only greatly improve the flexibility and performance of industrial control network but also meet the intelligence and informatization of the future industry.

Increasing demand of computing resources and the popularity of cloud computing have led the organizations to establish of large-scale data centers. To handle varying workloads, allocating resources to Virtual Machines, placing the VMs in the most suitable physical machine at data centers without violating the Service Level Agreement remains a big challenge for the cloud providers. The energy consumption and performance degradation are the prime focus for the data centers in providing services by strictly following the SLA. In this paper we are suggesting a model for minimizing the energy consumption and performance degradation without violating SLA. The experiments conducted have shown a reduction in SLA violation by nearly 10%.

In large-scale, distributed systems such as Grids, an agreement between a client and a service provider specifies service level objectives both as expressions of client requirements and as provider assurances. From an application perspective, these objectives should be expressed in a high-level, service or application-specific manner rather than requiring clients to detail the necessary resources. Resource providers on the other hand, expect low-level, resource-specific performance criteria that are uniform across applications and can be easily interpreted and provisioned. This paper presents a framework for service management that addresses this gap between high-level specification of client performance objectives and existing resource management infrastructures. The paper identifies three levels of abstraction for resource requirements a service provider needs to manage, namely: detailed specification of raw resources, virtualization of heterogeneous resources as abstract resources, and performance objectives at an application level. The paper also identifies three key functions for managing service-level agreements, namely: translation of resource requirements across abstraction layers, arbitration in allocating resources to client requests, and aggregation and allocation of resources from multiple lower-level resource managers. One or more of these key functions may be present at each abstraction layer of a service-level manager. Thus, layering and the composition of these functions across abstraction layers enables modeling of a wide array of management scenarios. The framework we present uses service metadata and/or service performance models to map client requirements to resource capabilities, uses business value associated with objectives to arbitrate between competing requests, and allocates resources based on previously negotiated agreements. We instantiate this framework for three different scenarios and explain how the architectural principles we introduce are used in the real-word.

Special services provided by schools to students are generally the same, but different on the process of the management and utilization. Some form of special services in school is the service: councelling, libraries, laboratories, extracurricular, infirmary, cafeteria, cooperatives, OSIS, transport, boarding, acceleration, class inclusion, and apprentice. As a special service management functions include: (1) planning, such as needs analysis and programming of special services; (2) the organization, such as the division of tasks to carry out special service program; (3) in motion, in the form of the settings in the implementation of special services, and (4) control, in the form of program monitoring and performance assessment special services program in school. So that special services should be managed with effective management processes in order to strengthen the management process of education, particularly at the school level.

The evolving global landscape for electrical distribution and use created a need area for energy storage systems (ESS), making them among the fastest growing electrical power system products. A key element in any energy storage system is the capability to monitor, control, and optimize performance of an individual or multiple battery modules in an energy storage system and the ability to control the disconnection of the module(s) from the system in the event of abnormal conditions. This management scheme is known as “battery management system (BMS)”, which is one of the essential units in electrical equipment. BMS reacts with external events, as well with as an internal event. It is used to improve the battery performance with proper safety measures within a system. Therefore, a safe BMS is the prerequisite for operating an electrical system. This report analyzes the details of BMS for electric transportation and large-scale (stationary) energy storage. The analysis includes different aspects of BMS covering testing, component, functionalities, topology, operation, architecture, and BMS safety aspects. Additionally, current related standards and codes related to BMS are also reviewed. The report investigates BMS safety aspects, battery technology, regulation needs, and offer recommendations. It further studies current gaps in respect to the safety requirements and performance requirements of BMS by focusing mainly on the electric transportation and stationary application. The report further provides a framework for developing a new standard on BMS, especially on BMS safety and operational risk. In conclusion, four main areas of (1) BMS construction, (2) Operation Parameters, (3) BMS Integration, and (4) Installation for improvement of BMS safety and performance are identified, and detailed recommendations were provided for each area. It is recommended that a technical review of the BMS be performed for transportation electrification and large-scale (stationary) applications. A comprehensive evaluation of the components, architectures, and safety risks applicable to BMS operation is also presented.

In the operation process of large industrial control network, with conventional fuzzy PID control algorithm for industrial control networks energy-saving control, excessive industrial networks will aggravate machine wear of the single network, thereby reduce the effect of energy-saving for industrial network. This paper presents an approach for industrial network energy-saving control based on non-uniform data production rate. According to the relationship between the network load and loss, the loss model of industrial control network can be established. Adaptive linear genetic method is utilized to control industrial control network energy-saving load, so as to achieve energy-saving control of industrial control network. Experimental results show that the algorithm can effectively improve the energy-saving efficiency of industrial control network, and achieve satisfactory results.

AbstractSome forms of renewable energy have long contributed to electricity generation, whereas others are just emerging. For example, large-scale hydropower is a mature technology generating about 16% of global electricity, and many smaller scale systems are also being installed worldwide. Future opportunities to improve the technology are limited but include upgrading of existing plants to gain greater performance efficiencies and reduced maintenance. Geothermal energy, widely used for power generation and direct heat applications, is also mature, but new technologies could improve plant designs, extend their lifetimes, and improve reliability. By contrast, ocean energy is an emerging renewable energy technology. Design, development, and testing of a myriad of devices remain mainly in the research and development stage, with many opportunities for materials science to improve design and performance, reduce costly maintenance procedures, and extend plant operating lifetimes under the harsh marine environment.
