Energy efficiency is a growing concern in every aspect of the technology. Apart from maintaining profitability, energy efficiency means a decrease in the overall environmental effects, which is a serious concern in today's world. Using a femtocell in Internet of Things (IoT) can boost energy efficiency. To illustrate, femtocells can be used in smart homes, which is a subpart of the smart grid, as a communication mechanism in order to manage energy efficiency. Moreover, femtocells can be used in many IoT applications in order to provide communication. However, it is important to evaluate the energy efficiency of femtocells. This paper investigates recent advances and challenges in the energy efficiency of the femtocell in IoT. First, we introduce the idea of femtocells in the context of IoT and their role in IoT applications. Next, we describe prominent performance metrics in order to understand how the energy efficiency is evaluated. Then, we elucidate how energy can be modeled in terms of femtocell and provide some models from the literature. Since femtocells are used in heterogeneous networks to manage energy efficiency, we also express some energy efficiency schemes for deployment. The factors that affect the energy usage of a femtocell base station are discussed and then the power consumption of user equipment under femtocell coverage is mentioned. Finally, we highlight prominent open research issues and challenges.

Energy performance of smart buildings: simulating the impact of active systems and passive strategies
Tetik, Buğra; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2014)
Energy efficiency is one of the most important attempts in the world because of various environmental, economical and developmental aspects of energy. In this context, energy performance of buildings has been a critical issue since buildings constitute approximately half of total energy consumption. The concept of smart building which has been attractive recently, contributes to the issue with smart technologies; while some passive design techniques which have been used throughout the history are still appl...
Comminution: Technology, Energy Efficiency and Innovation
Klein, B.; Altun, Naci Emre; Scoble, M. J. (2015-04-17)
With pressures to improve energy efficiency in mining, reducing energy usage in comminution has become the focus of innovation. Several advances have been made however the uptake of innovations and technologies is slow. A Technology Readiness Level guide has been developed for other industries that may be a useful tool for the mining industry. Examination of selected successful energy efficient technologies provides some insights and lessons that may provide direction for advancing new technologies. This pa...
Harmonics elimination techniques in solar energy integration into smart grid
Abdulsalam, Abdulkadir Ahmed; Batunlu, Canras; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2019-1)
Energy availability is a growing concern of the 21st century worldwide and generating this energy should not affect the envinment and its inhabitants negatively. The modern energy transmission and distribution system became more interesting with the advent of smart grid and integrating renewable energy sources into the grid creates a challenging problem of managing harmonics. To effectively integrate renewable energy as well as minimizing harmonics content in the power system smart grid importance was highl...
Strategic Cyber-Security Perspective in Smart Grids
Canbek, Gurol; SAĞIROĞLU, Şeref (2018-03-25)
Conventional energy grids growing in time have become complex, inefficient and expensive to operate and use. They are critical because of providing the whole energy needs of the technologies required for our modern life but also cumbersome entities. "Smarting" the grids by automating, facilitating the troubleshooting and productivity analysis with the help of information technologies infrastructure, reinforcing the controls, charging the services in details makes it possible to administrate efficiently and ...
Energy performance of duble-skin fa̧acades in intelligent office buildings : a case study in Germany
Bayram, Ayça; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Architecture (2003)
The building industry makes up a considerable fraction of world̕s energy consumption. The adverse effects of a growing energy demand such as depletion in fossil fuel reserves and natural resources hassled the building industry to a search for new technologies that result in less energy consumption together with the maximum utilization of natural resources. Energy- and ecology-conscious European countries incorporated the well-being of occupants while conducting research on innovative technologies. In view o...
