At present, China has built a number of DG (distributed power generation) demonstration projects as part of intelligent cities, intelligent business parks, university campuses and residential areas. The interaction mechanism, among DGs-especially those with energy storage, the users and the distribution grid need to be clear; i.e. how to unify the coordination among solar power systems, small wind power generation systems, the battery energy reserve systems, and electrical vehicles, so as to optimize resources allocation, cut peak and compensate trough loads; how to enable future homes and business users has more flexibility, controllability on electricity usage thus to advance the technology development in the field of electricity usage. The above mentioned problems can be solved smoothly by researching on the comprehensive use of modern power electronic technologies, communication technologies, computer and network technologies, advanced sensor and measurement & control technology, to combine them together for monitoring, protection control, cloud computing , and management of power supply department for active distribution network after DG access, to constitute the comprehensive dispatching system based on the DG of cloud computing. Dispatching of DG for distance dispersion location and a huge number of terms, to based on the cloud computing is very cost-effective, and it is worthy of further study and application.

Sustainability activities on university campuses are an important part of building a sustainable society. As a part of this effort, the present study quantitatively evaluated the reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and disposal costs upon use of pruned branches for on-campus energy use in a Japanese university. The pruned branches are currently used off campus as fuel for biomass power generation, whereas the proposed systems include their on-campus use for heating through wood-chip heaters in a greenhouse or through wood stoves in buildings. The GHG balance was evaluated using a life-cycle assessment, and the cumulative costs over a 20 y period were estimated. Using pruned branches for on-campus heating was 70–180% more effective in reducing GHG emissions than the current off-campus power generation system. Using branches for heating eliminated the emissions produced by the transportation of pruned branches off campus and had higher thermal efficiency than power generation, which was conducive to the replacement of larger quantities of fossil fuel. In addition, the payback period of the proposed systems was estimated at 2 and 4 y for wood stove and wood-chip heater systems, respectively. For the 20 y period, the cumulative costs can be reduced by approximately 20%.

Biomass Resources

Malaysia has an abundance of biomass resources that can be utilised for power generation. One of them is paddy residue. Paddy residue creates ahuge potential in the power generation sector. The consumption of paddy residue can help Malaysia become less dependent on conventional sources of energy, mitigate greenhouse gas(GHG) emission, offer positive feedback in the economic sector, and at the same time, provide thebest solution for waste management activities. The forecast datafor 20 years on electricity generation wasused to calculate the GHG emission and its saving when paddy residue is used for electricity generation. The government’scost saving was also identified when paddy residue substituted coal fuel in electricity generation.This paper can provide forecast information so that Malaysia is able to move forward to apply paddy residue as feedstock in energy supply. Hopefully, the data achieved can encourage stakeholder bodies in the implementation of paddy residue inelectricity generation since there is apositive impact towardscost and emission saving.

Demographic Features

The contribution of universities to economic structure, social and physical insfrastructure, the quality of life and city, and the level of education cannot be regarded. Therefore, it should be provided that university campuses should be areas which reflect city image with their physical structures. In this regard, the effective administration, usage, and development of universities, and the coordination between the units of universities should also be provided. One of the most significant elements of this coordination and cooperation is on campus transportation. One of the main purposes of the thesis is to evaluate inner campus transportation which is the sub-unit of city transportation. Other purposes are to determine the reasons of the perception of the users in reference to their demographic features on campus transportation and the reasons of their preferences of a particular transportation option. A survey study has been conducted in order to measure inner campus transportation perceptions. In this regard, 1112 questionnaire forms have been analysed by the software programme of SPSS. Expression analysis of the reliability, frequency distribution and factors are obtained, and differences were identified by ANOVA and T-TEST analysis.
