    Today, one of the things that have been the basis for most architects and design experts is paying attention to the principles of sustainability of energy and organized approach to sustainable development. If sustainability be reflected in the energy sector, it must be coordinated with other aspects such as social sustainability. There are always architects who define sustainability based on their view, but this study is trying to be formed on theoretical basis of architectural energy experts, and according to available resources and access to library studies in the field of technology BMS, introduce this technology to the people who are concerned about it. So that by this technology be an important factor in achieving sustainability in architecture.Keywords: Building Automation, Intelligent Management, Sustainable Architecture, Building Management Systems (BMS) In Housin

    Among the important trends in contemporary architecture, sustainable architecture is present in three areas: economic, social and environmental issues raised are among the most important in the area of environmental sustainability, reduce consumption of non-renewable resources and renewable energy is Bhybh cost this Nanotechnology is one of the world's Latests technology is the science of controlling matter at the molecular scale Koch is one of the most important strategies for achieving environmental sustainability, and the advantages of smart materials is to use materials that reduces energy consumption and provide optimal comfort for the residents of a large building and complex building intrusion in sustainable design today must respond to the needs of the 21st century and only with the integration needs in a complex, to be energy efficiency via smart nano-materials, especially through the role color plays How can building material used with materials resistant, lightweight and cheap to produce, and how to use intelligent and self-healing materials in construction Buildings Hvshmnd.dr this paper, the choice of materials and equipment, to review the architecture of the system, along with the need for intelligent buildings and equipment due to the intelligent material, based on human needs in a sustainable architecture we are today.Keywords: nano-architecture, sustainable construction, intelligen

    Smart Grid Enabling Low Carbon Future Power Systems Towards Prosumers Era

    In efforts to meet the targets of carbon emissions reduction in power systems, policy makers formulate measures for facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources and demand side carbon mitigation. Smart grid provides an opportunity for bidirectional communication among policy makers, generators and consumers. With the help of smart meters, increasing number of consumers is able to produce, store, and consume energy, giving them the new role of prosumers. This thesis aims to address how smart grid enables prosumers to be appropriately integrated into energy markets for decarbonising power systems. This thesis firstly proposes a Stackelberg game-theoretic model for dynamic negotiation of policy measures and determining optimal power profiles of generators and consumers in day-ahead market. Simulation results show that the proposed model is capable of saving electricity bills, reducing carbon emissions, and increasing the penetration of renewable energy sources. Secondly, a data-driven prosumer-centric energy scheduling tool is developed by using learning approaches to reduce computational complexity from model-based optimisation. This scheduling tool exploits convolutional neural networks to extract prosumption patterns, and uses scenarios to analyse possible variations of uncertainties caused by the intermittency of renewable energy sources and flexible demand. Case studies confirm that the proposed scheduling tool can accurately predict optimal scheduling decisions under various system scales and uncertain scenarios. Thirdly, a blockchain-based peer-to-peer trading framework is designed to trade energy and carbon allowance. The bidding/selling prices of individual prosumers can directly incentivise the reshaping of prosumption behaviours. Case studies demonstrate the execution of smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain and testify that the proposed trading framework outperforms the centralised trading and aggregator-based trading in terms of regional energy balance and reducing carbon emissions caused by long-distance transmissions

    Multi-Agent Systems and Complex Networks: Review and Applications in Systems Engineering

    Get PDF
    Systems engineering is an ubiquitous discipline of Engineering overlapping industrial, chemical, mechanical, manufacturing, control, software, electrical, and civil engineering. It provides tools for dealing with the complexity and dynamics related to the optimisation of physical, natural, and virtual systems management. This paper presents a review of how multi-agent systems and complex networks theory are brought together to address systems engineering and management problems. The review also encompasses current and future research directions both for theoretical fundamentals and applications in the industry. This is made by considering trends such as mesoscale, multiscale, and multilayer networks along with the state-of-art analysis on network dynamics and intelligent networks. Critical and smart infrastructure, manufacturing processes, and supply chain networks are instances of research topics for which this literature review is highly relevant

    HYDROGELS THE THREE DIMENSIONAL NETWORKS: A REVIEW

    Get PDF
    Hydrogel products constitute polymeric materials as a group, the hydrophilic structure which renders them the capability of holding large amounts of water in their 3-dimensional networks. Extensive employment of those products during a number of commercial and environmental areas of application is taken into account to be of prime importance. Needless to say, natural hydrogels were gradually replaced by synthetic types thanks to their higher water absorption capacity, long service life, and wide sorts of raw chemical resources. Literature on this subject was found to be expanding, especially within the scientific areas of research. However, variety of technical reports publications and handling hydrogel products from the points of view of engineering were examined to overview technological aspects covering this growing the field of research. the first objective of this text is to review the literature concerning classification of hydrogels on different bases, chemical characteristics and physical characteristics of those products, and technical feasibility of their best utilization. It also involved the technologies adopted for hydrogel production along-side process and design implications, optimized conditions, and the block diagrams of the preparation process. Recent forms of hydrogel material generations are also presented in some details that are innovative in nature
