Sustainable Resource Management System

Java desktop application for calculating and visualizing CO2/Carbon emissions before and after cloud adoption. Features emission calculations, data persistence, reporting, and interactive charts.

Features

• Emission Calculation: Calculate CO2 and Carbon emissions based on energy consumption and emission factors
• Cloud Impact Analysis: Compare emissions before and after cloud adoption with configurable power reduction percentages
• Data Persistence: Save emission data with timestamps to a text file
• Report Generation: Generate comprehensive reports from saved emission data
• Visual Analytics: Create interactive line charts showing emission trends over time
• User-Friendly GUI: Intuitive Swing-based graphical user interface

Requirements

• Java: JDK 8 or higher
• JFreeChart Library: Version 1.0.19 (included in the project)
• JCommon Library: Version 1.0.23 (included in the project)

Installation

1. Clone or download the repository

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd Sustainable-Resource-Management-System

2. Ensure Java is installed

   java -version

   Should show Java 8 or higher.

3. Compile the project

   cd finalProject
   javac -cp "jfreechart-1.0.19/lib/jfreechart-1.0.19.jar:jfreechart-1.0.19/lib/jcommon-1.0.23.jar" src/finalProject/SustainableResourceManagementSystem.java -d bin

Usage

Running the Application

cd finalProject
java -cp "bin:jfreechart-1.0.19/lib/jfreechart-1.0.19.jar:jfreechart-1.0.19/lib/jcommon-1.0.23.jar" finalProject.SustainableResourceManagementSystem

Using the Application

1. Enter Input Values:

   • Energy Consumption (kWh): Total energy consumption
   • CO2 Emission Factor (kg CO2/kWh): Emission factor for your energy source
   • CO2 Emission (kg): Additional CO2 emissions
   • Cloud Power Reduction (%): Percentage reduction in power consumption after cloud adoption

2. Calculate Total Emission:

   • Click "Calculate Total Emission" to see emissions before and after cloud adoption
   • Results display both CO2 and Carbon emissions

3. Save Data:

   • Click "Save Data" to persist the current calculation with a timestamp
   • Data is saved to emission_data.txt in the finalProject directory

4. Generate Report:

   • Click "Generate Report" to view all saved emission data
   • The report appears in the Report text area

5. Generate Emission Graphs:

   • Click "Generate Emission Graphs" to create visual charts
   • The graph displays four series:
     • Red: CO2 Emission Before Cloud
     • Yellow: CO2 Emission After Cloud
     • Green: Carbon Emission Before Cloud
     • Blue: Carbon Emission After Cloud

Calculation Methodology

CO2 Emissions

• Before Cloud: (Energy Consumption × CO2 Emission Factor) + CO2 Emission
• After Cloud: (Energy Consumption × (1 - Reduction%) × CO2 Emission Factor) + CO2 Emission

Carbon Emissions

• Carbon Emission Factor: CO2 Emission Factor × 0.2727 (1 kg CO2 = 0.2727 kg Carbon)
• Before Cloud: (Energy Consumption × Carbon Emission Factor) + (CO2 Emission × 0.2727)
• After Cloud: (Energy Consumption × (1 - Reduction%) × Carbon Emission Factor) + (CO2 Emission × 0.2727)

Data Format

Saved data is stored in emission_data.txt with the following format:

Timestamp: YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss, Energy Consumption: X kWh, CO2 Emission Factor: Y kg CO2/kWh, CO2 Emission: Z kg, Carbon Emission Factor: W kg C/kWh, Power Reduction: P%, Total CO2 Emission Before Cloud: A kg CO2, Total CO2 Emission After Cloud: B kg CO2, Total Carbon Emission Before Cloud: C kg C, Total Carbon Emission After Cloud: D kg C

Dependencies

• JFreeChart 1.0.19: For chart generation and visualization
• JCommon 1.0.23: Required dependency for JFreeChart

Both libraries are included in the jfreechart-1.0.19/lib/ directory.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. ClassNotFoundException: Ensure the JAR files are in the classpath

   java -cp "bin:jfreechart-1.0.19/lib/*" finalProject.SustainableResourceManagementSystem

2. No data available for report: Make sure you've saved at least one data entry before generating a report

3. Graph generation error: Ensure emission_data.txt exists and contains valid data entries

4. Invalid input error: Make sure all input fields contain valid numeric values
