Power Balancing

Due to the demands of new technologies such as social networks, e-commerce and cloud computing, more energy is being consumed in order to store all the produced data. While these new technologies require high levels of availability, a reduction in the cost and environmental impact is also expected. The present paper proposes a power balancing algorithm (power load distribution algorithm-depth (PLDA-D)) to optimize the energy distribution of data center electrical infrastructures. The PLDA-D is based on the Bellman and Ford–Fulkerson flow algorithms that analyze energy-flow models (EFM). EFM computes the power efficiency, sustainability and cost metrics of data center infrastructures. To demonstrate the applicability of the proposed strategy, we present a case study that analyzes four power infrastructures. The results obtained show about a 3.8% reduction in sustainability impact and operational costs.

One of the aspects that need to take into consideration in the matter of constructing the building, particularly multi-storey building is the aspect of power efficiency that would be used mainly for the utilization of electrical energy. The building Engineer will attempt to fulfill the building owner expectation by creating designs for the building that may help to save more energy as well as lowering the operating cost. The objective of this research is analysing benefits and costs from the construction of a building by taking into account energy efficiency aspects with applying a case study to three basement unit which is located in Universitas Komputer Indonesia. This research using quantitative analysis to evaluate the installation and energy cost saving of the basement air circulation system and equipment. The result indicates that the building especially the basement area where the air circulation is quite good and a precise air fan on-off control system could reduce the cost of electricity from the continuous operating of exhaust fan and fresh air blower.

This paper reviews a project which opened up a multi-million pound market to Hallite Seals for a new and innovative range of thermoplastic seals and at the same time drastically reduced the cost of existing products. The project duration was kept to one year by taking advantage of new technologies wherever possible. The project not only achieved the marketing objectives within the planned time-scales, it also provided a payback on capital expenditure of over £330 000 in less than 12 months. Severe customer service problems on existing products were eliminated and the value of stocks and work-in-progress was significantly reduced.

Shift to The Front II Komplek Sukamukti Banjaran Project is one of the projects implemented by one of the companies engaged in telecommunications. In its implementation, each project including Shift to The Front II Komplek Sukamukti Banjaran has a time limit specified in the contract. Project scheduling is an important role in predicting both the cost and time in a project. Every project should be able to complete the project before or just in the time specified in the contract. Delay in a project can be anticipated by accelerating the duration of completion by using the crashing method with the application of linear programming. Linear programming will help iteration in the calculation of crashing because if linear programming not used, iteration will be repeated. The objective function in this scheduling is to minimize the cost. This study aims to find a trade-off between the costs and the minimum time expected to complete this project. The acceleration of the duration of this study was carried out using the addition of 4 hours of overtime work, 3 hours of overtime work, 2 hours of overtime work, and 1 hour of overtime work. The normal time for this project is 35 days with a service fee of Rp. 52,335,690. From the results of the crashing analysis, the alternative chosen is to add 1 hour of overtime to 34 days with a total service cost of Rp. 52,375,492. This acceleration will affect the entire project because there are 33 different locations worked on Shift to The Front II and if all these locations can be accelerated then the duration of completion of the entire project will be effective

The design and manufacturing of the rotary table with the specification Ø 170 mm (6 inches) for CNC machine 4 axis has been done. The objective of manufacturing a rotary table is to increase the efficiency of CNC machine Hardford 4 axis to be above 80% in line machining center CV. IM’s workshop. The engineering methods was taken, consist of: working preparation, manufacturing of working drawing, engineering process, the manufacturing and testing. The prototype has been tested and operated, the resulting of increasing productivity of which were as follows: the process of assembling was increased to be 3 time ( before 1 time) and processing time for a specific case reduced from 5 hours to 3 hours, number of operators for the case of assembling the rotary reduced to 1 person (before 4 persons), safety and security become to be better.

<p>The Soil Science Institute of Thessaloniki produces new digitized Soil Maps that provide a useful electronic database for the spatial representation of the soil variation within a region, based on in situ soil sampling, laboratory analyses, GIS techniques and plant nutrition mathematical models, coupled with the local land cadastre. The novelty of these studies is that local agronomists have immediate access to a wide range of soil information by clicking on a field parcel shown in this digital interface and, therefore, can suggest an appropriate treatment (e.g. liming, manure incorporation, desalination, application of proper type and quantity of fertilizer) depending on the field conditions and cultivated crops. A specific case study is presented in the current work with regards to the construction of the digitized Soil Map of the regional unit of Kastoria. The potential of this map can easily be realized by the fact that the mapping of the physicochemical properties of the soils in this region provided delineation zones for differential fertilization management. An experiment was also conducted using remote sensing techniques for the enhancement of the fertilization advisory software database, which is a component of the digitized map, and the optimization of nitrogen management in agricultural areas.</p>

Abstract A component failure has the potential to significantly impact the cost, manufacturing schedule, and/or the perceived reliability of a system, especially if the root cause of the failure is not known. A failure analysis is often key to mitigating the effects of a componentlevel failure to a customer or a system; minimizing schedule slips, minimizing related accrued costs to the customer, and allowing for the completion of the system with confidence that the reliability of the product had not been compromised. This case study will show how a detailed and systemic failure analysis was able to determine the exact cause of failure of a multiplexer in a high-reliability system, which allowed the manufacturer to confidently proceed with production knowing that the failure was not a systemic issue, but rather that it was a random “one time” event.
