According to the vacuum bursting process for fresh chestnut shell and requirements for relevant vacuum system, a vacuum system of steam jet pump was designed with a start-up jet pump attached to it. Of which the waste gas from ejector was used for reheating in the bursting process to lead the vacuum bursting unit to run more reliably and stably with efficiency improved and energy consumption reduced. The rate of bursting came up to 95% in the process test.

This paper presents a study of energy-efficient operation of vehicles with electrified powertrains leveraging route information, such as road grades, to adjust the speed trajectory. First, Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle (PMP) is applied to derive necessary conditions and to determine the possible operating modes. The analysis shows that only 5 modes are required to achieve minimum energy consumption; full propulsion, cruising, coasting, full regeneration, and full regeneration with conventional braking. The minimum energy consumption problem is reformulated and solved in the distance domain using Dynamic Programming to optimize speed profiles. A case study is shown for a light weight military robot including road grades. For this system, a tradeoff between energy consumption and trip time was found. The optimal cycle uses 20% less energy for the same trip duration, or could reduce the travel time by 14% with the same energy consumption compared to the baseline operation.


High rise office building design is one of the essential buildings in construction industry due to the limited space especially in the urban area. After home, a high rise office building is an important space for human in modern era. Due to the issue of high energy consumption especially inefficient artificial light strategy, side-day lighting becomes the best solution for a high rise office building design. Despite providing efficient energy consumption, side-day lighting creates a positive impact to the worker as well as the office's indoor environment. Hence, this paper aims to explore the basic passive side-day lighting considerations that educate people especially for those who are involved in the building construction industry. Beside, this paper focuses on the passive design considerations due to the various advantages that not involved especially with complex electrical and mechanical system. A systematic literature review is the main methodology for this paper to identify the basic passive side-day lighting considerations for a high rise office building design. Base on this research, it revealed that eight elements for building design considerations should be applied to provide a better day lighting impact for a high rise office building design. Considerations for non-building design aspects should also need to be applied since those aspects contribute to produce a better day lighting impact for a high rise office building design.

Abstract This article presents a software-implemented 3-dimensional simulated analysis of a 4-tire test room and the 6-tire test room. The results of the average performance through the simulated analysis of 100 iterations were obtained. The simulation showed the temperature distribution in the test rooms. This objective of this study was to assess the efficiency of the start-up process in each test room and to find the most efficient setup. A promising improvement would be to install the heaters at the bottom of the room under the drums instead of at the ceiling. The results of the simulation will be compared to the data of temperature logging of the tire test rooms once there is availability upon the lifting of the Covid pandemic lockdown restrictions.

The discovery and description of patterns in electric energy consumption time series is fundamental for timely management of the system. A bicluster describes a subset of observation points in a time period in which a consumption pattern occurs as abrupt changes or instabilities homogeneously. Nevertheless, the pattern detection complexity increases with the number of observation points and samples of the study period. In this context, current bi-clustering techniques may not detect significant patterns given the increased search space. This study develops a parallel evolutionary computation scheme to find biclusters in electric energy. Numerical simulations show the benefits of the proposed approach, discovering significantly more electricity consumption patterns compared to a state-of-the-art non-parallel competitive algorithm.

Energy consumption of a building is one of the biggest sources of energy use today. Green Building Comitte Indonesia (GBCI) has launched a concept of energy consumption saving in a nationally standard building. Audit Building energy audit is the way to know how actual building energy consumption is and find alternative solution to decrease energy consumption in order to fulfill the energy saving building criteria. Two types of HVAC systems will be run in the EnergyPlus simulation, split AC and central AC. The previous research proved that central AC is better than split AC system for energy saving in the building with 20 floors. The simulation results show that by using a certain energy system, a more efficient energy system will be achieved and can still maintain the comfort of the room at a temperature of 24 °C and relative humidity according to the Green Building Indonesia standard reference.

A method for operation study of a compressorless combined-cycle gas turbine (CCCGT) unit during transients from one steady-state mode to another, including during start-up and shutdown, is proposed. As an example, studies of the transients of an energy complex with a capacity of 60 MW are given. A variant of an algorithm concept for start/stop and transients of such an energy complex is proposed. This concept includes algorithms for starting from the three initial states of the energy complex (cold, hot and standby). For these algorithms, the time and energy consumption characteristics are estimated. It is shown that from a cold state, such an energy complex can be started and brought to the nominal mode in 1.5-2 hours. At the same time, the energy costs will not exceed energy consumption for its own needs in a nominal mode. The start-up time from the hot state can be reduced to 20-25 minutes, and the start-up from the standby state can be 2.5-3 minutes. The proposed concept of control algorithms for transient modes is such, so that a temperature state of the main components and parts of the energy complex is provided at a constant temperature. Thus, the time of transients will be determined only by the speed of the regulatory authorities. Consequently, power systems operating on the CCCGT cycle can operate equally efficiently, both in the basic mode and in the power control mode.
