Due to the heterogeneity of sensor networks using the web architecture, cross layer mechanism can be implemented for integrating multiple resources. Framework for Sensor Web using the cross layer scheduling mechanisms in the grid environment is proposed in this paper. The resource discovery and the energy efficient data aggregation schemes are used to improvise the effective utilization capability in the Sensor Web. To collaborate with multiple resources environment, the grid computing concept is integrated with sensor web. Resource discovery and the scheduling schemes in the grid architecture are organized using the medium access control protocol. The various cross layer metrics proposed are Memory Awareness, Task Awareness and Energy Awareness. Based on these metrics, the parameters-Node Waiting Status, Used CPU Status, Average System Utilization, Average Utilization per Cluster, Cluster Usage per Hour and Node Energy Status are determined for the integrated heterogeneous WSN with sensor web in Grid Environment. From the comparative analysis, it is shown that sensor grid architecture with middleware framework has better resource awareness than the normal sensor network architectures.展开更多

Consequently, the increased integration of renewable energy sources into power grids has necessitated the inclusion of flexible capacities in the power systems to solve problems of intermittent and fluctuating characteristics associated with renewable generation outputs. In this work, we study the regulating cost of a power system with high renewable penetration using an improved time-series system production simulation analysis method. The operational cost of the system is considered as the objective function. Three different methods to increase regulating capacities, including using interconnection lines, building additional flexible power capacities, and retrofitting existing thermal power plants, are adopted and simulated to compare the costs of accommodating renewable energy in the system in these cases. Our results indicate that increasing the flexibility of thermal power plants and developing crossregional connection lines are cost-effective methods of increasing renewable energy consumption.展开更多
