The paper considers the issue of organization of control of electric power consumption by electric rolling stock by visualizing information on the monitor of the driver's console. With the correct analysis of information coming on board of the electric rolling stock, the train driver makes correction of the driving modes of the train in terms of energy efficiency. In this paper, to visualize information on the efficiency of power consumption by an electric rolling stock on the route, the authors propose using an indicator diagram using a green, white, and orange gradient. The variant of output of the final information on the efficiency of power consumption of electrical energy by an electric rolling stock both within the distances operated by the locomotive crews and within the hauls to the monitor of the driver's console is presented. One of the main advantages of using the technology of visual control of electric power consumption by electric rolling stock is the promptness of correction of decision-making on the rational use of energy resources, the identification of objective reasons for the overspending of energy, and the identification of reference results for the driving of trains. The prospect of development of the research topic is the approbation and implementation of the proposed technical and technological solutions in the production, which will reduce the specific consumption and unproductive electric power losses within the boundaries of the railway accounting zones.

Abstract Spatially explicit information on electric power consumption (EPC) is crucial for effective electricity allocation and utilization. Many studies have estimated fine-scale spatial EPC based on remotely sensed nighttime light (NTL). However, the spatial non-stationary relationship between EPC and NTL at prefectural level tends to be overlooked in existing literature. In this study, a classification regression method to estimate the gridded EPC in China based on imaging NTL via a Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) was described. In addition, owing to some inherent omissions in the VIIRS NTL data, the study has employed the cubic Hermite interpolation to produce a more appropriate NTL dataset for estimation. The proposed method was compared with ordinary least squares (OLS) and geographically weighted regression (GWR) approaches. The results showed that our proposed method outperformed OLS and GWR in relative error (RE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). The desirable results benefited mainly from a reasonable classification scheme that fully considered the spatial non-stationary relationship between EPC and NTL. Thus, the analysis suggested that the proposed classification regression method would enhance the accuracy of the gridded EPC estimation and provide a valuable reference predictive model for electricity consumption.

Abstract—Public street lighting (LPJU) is a road infrastructure that is very important for road users at night. The constraints faced by User managers in an area in LPJU management are the problem of maintenance, monitoring, electricity consumption, and limited workforce. In an effort to overcome this problem, this study designed a tool in the LPJU system that can control LPJU ignition according to user needs by combining the timer and light sensor functions, and can monitor electricity consumption by calculating the power consumption or kWh meter and recording data on accumulation of electric power consumption every day at 06.00 WITA automatically stored on the micro SD Card. The accumulated data last recorded for 1 (one) month at the beginning of each month at 08.00 WITA will be sent using SMS services to users periodically. In addition, the user can monitor at any time with the "lapor" SMS format, the monitoring data sent in the form of the last electrical power consumption used by LPJU at that time.

Profitability of water distribution activity depends largely on the relationships between operational capability and service costs, related to supplier’s performance, volume of distributed water and effective operating costs. The main variables that influence the total selling price are required investment value, specific consumption of electrical energy for pumping power, unit price of the electrical energy and total volume of monthly consumed water billed. The selection of rehabilitation and modernization measures must rely on market studies results that appropriately establish the quantities of water that may be distributed and billed. Present and future water requirements will be determined based on the analysis of actual operation data and on estimation of future trends in water consumption on national and international levels. The optimization calculation will use two target functions: total maximum efficiency and total electric power consumption required for transport of each cubic meter of supplied water, and cubic meter of sewage water, respectively. The mathematical methods may be improved by taking into account all active consumers in the network with simultaneous water requirements, at each moment of the day. Using several original mathematical algorithms, authors developed a computer program that calculates the functional parameters of the ensemble pumping station – hydrophore – pipe distribution network, as well as the available consumer parameters. This may be accomplished at each moment in time, depending on the number of active consumers simultaneously connected to the supply network, in the hypothesis of a minimum price of cubic meter of pumped water. This paper proposes a solution of the problem of reducing production costs for supplied domestic water, which directly affects the reduction of the electric power consumption.

Various complex shapes of dielectric electro-active polymer (DEAP) actuator have been promoted for several types of applications. In this study, the actuation and mechanical dynamics characteristics of a new core free flat DEAP soft actuator were investigated. This actuator was developed by Danfoss PolyPower. DC voltage of up to 2000 V was supplied for identifying the actuation characteristics of the actuator and compare with the existing formula. The operational frequency of the actuator was determined by dynamic testing. Then, the soft actuator has been modelled as a uniform bar rigidly fixed at one end and attached to mass at another end. Results from the theoretical model were compared with the experimental results. It was found that the deformation of the current actuator was quadratic proportional to the voltage supplied. It was found that experimental results and theory were not in good agreement for low and high voltage with average percentage error are 104% and 20.7%, respectively. The resonance frequency of the actuator was near 14 Hz. Mass of load added, inhomogeneity and initial tension significantly affected the resonance frequency of the soft actuator. The experimental results were consistent with the theoretical model at zero load. However, due to inhomogeneity, the frequency response function’s plot underlines a poor prediction where the theoretical calculation was far from experimental results as values of load increasing with the average percentage error 15.7%. Hence, it shows the proposed analytical procedure not suitable to provide accurate natural frequency for the DEAP soft actuator.

Oil and petroleum products transportation is characterized by a significant cost of electric power. Correct oil and petroleum products accounting and forecasting requires knowledge of many factors. The software for norms of electric power consumption analysis for the planned period was developed at the Ufa Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Based on the principles of the relational data model, a schematic diagram/arrangement for the main oil transportation objects was developed, which allows to hold the initial data and calculated parameters in a structured manner.
