This paper investigates consumer satisfaction through online questionnaires, and uses fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model to evaluate, to find out the key improvement factors to improve user satisfaction with charging. The results show that the factors such as “charging price” and “charging pile location” are key weak areas, which need to be paid attention to and improved;“Quality of Software Service” and “quality of supporting service” are in the opportunity area and can be improved at the right time. Finally, according to the research results, the countermeasures and suggestions to improve the charging satisfaction of EV users are given.展开更多

However, there is no limit as to the areas of carbon footprints required in such annual environmental reports. To deliver improvements in the quality of carbon footprint management and reporting, there is a need to identify the main elements of carbon footprint strategy that can be endorsed, supported and encouraged by facility managers. The study investigates carbon footprint elements managed and reported upon by facility manager in the UK. Drawing on a questionnaire survey of 256 facility managers in the UK, the key elements of carbon footprints identified in carbon footprint reports are examined. The findings indicate that the main elements are building energy consumption, waste disposal and water consumption. Business travel in terms of using public transport, air travel and company cars are also recognized as important targets and objectives for the carbon footprint strategy of several FM （facilities management） organizations.展开更多

This emergence of data nudges building owners and tenants to reduce energy consumption by comparing their usage to that of similar buildings.

This paper extends the energy saving impact and provides key insight into building performance through publicly-disclosed data by describing three initiatives at a large design finn. An internal high performance design reporting program compares projects from around the world and across offices. A case study of 706 buildings in New York City illustrates the value of tracking large-scale patterns to a design firm.

However, the security of wireless mesh networks is a precondition for practical use. Intrusion detection is pivotal for increasing network security. Considering the energy limitations in wireless mesh networks, we adopt two types of nodes： Heavy Intrusion Detection Node （HIDN） and Light Intrusion Detection Node （LIDN）. To conserve energy, the LIDN detects abnorrml behavior according to probability, while the HIDN, which has sufficient energy, is always operational. In practice, it is very difficult to acquire accurate information regarding attackers. We propose an intrusion detection model based on the incomplete inforrmtion game （ID-IIG）. The ID-IIG utilizes the Harsanyi transformation and Bayesian Nash equilibrium to select the best strategies of defenders, although the exact attack probability is unknown. Thus, it can effectively direct the deployment of defenders. Through experiments, we analyze the perforrmnce of ID-IIG and verify the existence and attainability of the Bayesian Nash equilibrium.展开更多

This microgrid has photovoltaic panels as microsources, energy storage, and a flexible AC distribution interfacing system that can operate connected to the public grid or autonomously where it regulates the site＇s voltage and frequency. In this paper, the potential of the microgrid in improving power quality issues of the site, specifically harmonic distortions, is demonstrated. Results show that flexible AC distribution interfacing system devices were able to compensate voltage harmonics when the microgrid was operating connected to the public grid and when operating autonomously. Other tests such as short-circuit, synchronization and blackstart were also conducted. The improvement in power quality and positive results of the other tests demonstrate that a self-supporting, reliable and efficient operation of the microgrid can be achieved.展开更多
