We use heat pumps with thermal storage system to reduce peak usage of electric power during winters and summers. A heat pump stores thermal energy in a thermal storage tank during the night, to meet load requirements during the day. This system stabilizes the supply and demand of electric power; moreover by utilizing the inexpensive midnight electric power, thus making it cost effective. In this study, we propose a system wherein the thermal storage tank and heat pump are modeled using the TRNSYS, whereas the control simulations are performed by (i) conventional control methods (i.e., thermal storage priority method and heat pump priority method); (ii) region control method, which operates at the optimal part load ratio of the heat pump; (iii) load response control method, which minimizes operating cost responding to load; and (iv) dynamic programming method, which runs the system by following the minimum cost path. We observed that the electricity cost using the region control method, load response control approach, and dynamic programing method was lower compared to using conventional control techniques. According to the annual simulation results, the electricity cost utilizing the load response control method is 43% and 4.4% lower than those obtained by the conventional techniques. We can note that the result related to the power cost was similar to that obtained by the dynamic programming method based on the load prediction. We can, therefore, conclude that the load response control method turned out to be more advantageous when compared to the conventional techniques regarding power consumption and electricity costs.

A trial run of locally-developed tilting train has been in process on Chungbuk line since the test vehicle was first produced. For the system stabilization, interface verification among the systems including track, structure, catenary and signaling system, not to mention the rolling stock, is very crucial. Therefore, in this study, the dynamic rail force of the tilting (Hanvit 200), high-speed (KTX) and general (Mugunghwa) vehicle caused by driving in transition curve track was measured. And, it compared the tilting response with the other by using the measured rail force data in transition curve track, and then evaluated probability the range of load fluctuation for the variable dynamic vertical and lateral wheel load. As a result, a range of rail force by occurred a change of cant from the high-speed and general vehicle which had fixed bogie structure was distributed throughout small deviation. Otherwise, in case of the tilting train which was consisted of the pendulum bogie structure was distributed wide range about large deviation by changed of cant.

DO, ORP and pH values measured during SBR operation can provide information about removal reaction of organic contaminants and nutrient materials in the reactor. It is already generalized control strategy to control reaction phase time using their special patterns indicating the end of the removal reactions. However, those informations are limited to point out the end time of oxidative reaction in the aerobic phase or reductive reaction in the anoxic phase without giving quantitative value of influent loading level. In this research, a diagnosis algorithm which can estimate the loading level of carbon and ammonia as high, medium and low was developed using the basic measurements like DO, ORP, and pH. It will be possible to know the level of influent loading rate from those online measurements without experimental analysis.

This paper represents a new approach for the protective relay of power transmission lines using a Artificial Neural Network(ANN). A different fault m transmission lines need to be detected classified and located accurately and cleared as fast as possible. However, The protection range of the distance relay is always designed on the basis of fixed settings, and unfortunately these approach do not have the ability to adapt dynamically to the system operating condition. ANN is suitable for the adaptive relaying and the detection of complex faults. The backpropagation algerian based multi-layer protection is utilized for the teaming process. It allows to make control to various protection functions. As expected, the simulation result demonstrate that this approach is useful and satisfactory.

Cluster-based routing is high energy consumption of cluster head nodes. A recent approach to resolving the problem is the dynamic cluster technique that periodically re-selects cluster head nodes to distribute energy consumption of the sensor nodes. However, the dynamic clustering technique has a problem that repetitive construction of clustering consumes the more energies. This paper proposes a solution to the problems described above from the energy efficiency perspective. The round-robin cluster header(RRCH) technique, which fixes the initially structured cluster and sequentially selects cluster head nodes, is suggested for solving the energy consumption problem regarding repetitive cluster construction. A simulation result were compared with the performances of two of the most widely used conventional techniques, the LEACH(Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) and HEED(Hybrid, Energy Efficient, Distributed Clustering) algorithms, based on energy consumption, remaining energy for each node and uniform distribution. The evaluation confirmed that in terms of energy consumption, the technique proposed in this paper was 26.5% and 20% more efficient than LEACH and HEED, respectively.

This paper introduces statistical features observed from measured batch data from the multiple operation state variables of dry vacuum pumps running in the semiconductor processes. The amplitude distribution characteristics of such state variables as inlet pressures, supply currents of the booster and dry pumps, and exhaust pressures are shown to be divided into two or three distinctive regions. This observation gives an idea of using an adaptive parametric model (APM) chosen to describe their statistical features. This modelling, in comparison to the traditional dynamic time wrapping algorithm, is shown to provide superior performance in computation time and memory resources required in the preprocessing stage of sampled batch data for the diagnosis of running dry vacuum pumps. APM model-based batch data are demonstrated to be very appropriate for monitoring and diagnosing the running conditions of dry vacuum pumps.

The Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) file format is a typical format for dynamic music that can be used not only for playing, but also for supporting dynamic music activity, such as musical instrument practice. However, almost all of the existing MIDI applications focus only on the playing features. In this paper, therefore, we implement a MIDI file play application that supports various dynamic features such as part-play repeating certain sections that the user wants, tone and speed control while playing a MIDI file, downloading MIDI files from a server, and lastly Digital Rights Management (DRM). By supporting these features, we are confident that our MIDI application will help users who wish to practice musical instruments to do so conveniently, while effectively protecting the copyright of their purchased MIDI files.

최적 저수지운영을 위한 운영률 도출이나 강우-유출 및 수질 모형의 매개변수 추정 문제처럼 비선형적이고 추정해야할 변수의 수가 많은 경우, 수학적으로 모형화하기에 너무 복잡해서 선형계획법, 비선형계획법, 동적계획법 등을 사용하여 최적해를 구할 수 없는 경우도 있다. 이러한 문제에 대해서는 구조적 진화를 통해 최적해를 구하는 방법들이 사용된다. 일반적으로 미지수의 개수가 많아지면 전역최적해를 찾기가 어려워진다. 전역최적해를 찾는 여러 가지 방법들이 수자원 분야에서는 강우-유출모형의 매개변수를 추정하는데 많이 사용되고 있으며, 특히 유전자 알고리즘, SCE-UA 알고리즘 등 전역최적해를 찾는 메타휴리스틱 방법이 많이 사용되고 있다. 전역최적화 방법을 개발하는 연구자들은 최적화방법의 성능을 평가하기 위해 다양한 검사함수(test function)를 만들어 성능을 평가하고 있다. 본 연구에 사용한 검사함수는 Mishra의 연구(2006a, 2006b)에서 사용한 중요하고 복잡한 검사함수이다. 유전자 알고리즘, SCE-UA 알고리즘, DDS 알고리즘을 검사함수 중 전역해를 찾기 어려운 2 차원 함수 2 가지, 다차원 함수 4 가지 함수에 적용하여 각각의 탐색 성능을 평가하였다. 2차원 함수인 Bukin 함수에 대해서는 모든 최적화 방법이 전역최적해를 찾을 수 없었지만, 유전자 알고리즘이 가장 전역최적해에 가까웠고 다음으로 DDS 알고리즘 순서였다. 지역수렴 영역이 많을 것으로 판단되는 10, 30, 50 차원 Michalewicz 함수에 대해서는 DDS 알고리즘으로 구한 최적해가 전역최적해와 매우 근접하였고 다음으로 SCE-UA 알고리즘, 유전자 알고리즘 순이었다. 지역수렴 영역이 상대적으로 다른 함수보다 넓은 10 차원 Schwefel 함수에 대해서는 DDS 알고리즘으로 구한 최적해가 전역최적해와 거의 근접하였고 유전자 알고리즘과 SCE-UA 알고리즘은 매우 큰 편차를 보였다. 40, 80 차원 Schwefel 함수에 대해서는 3 가지 알고리즘 모두 전역최적해와 편차를 보였지만 DDS 알고리즘에 의한 최적해와 다른 두 알고리즘에 의한 최적해는 1 오더(order) 정도의 차이가 났다. 지역수렴 영역이 큰 Michalewicz 함수와 Schwefel 함수에 대한 결과는 매우 흡사한 결과이다. 이상과 같은 결과로, 유전자 알고리즘은 매개변수의 수가 적을 경우 우수한 탐색성능을 가졌으며, SCE-UA 알고리즘은 Griewank, Rastrigin 함수와 같은 형태인 경우 우수한 성능을 보였다. DDS 알고리즘은 전체적으로 우수한 탐색 능력을 가진 것으로 판단된다. 그러므로 수위구간 영역별 저수지운영률 도출을 위한 적절한 최적화방법으로 DDS 알고리즘을 선정하였다.

The paper includes the analytic results of pressure fluctuation data from the combustion of an oxidizer-rich preburner applicable to high-performance, closed-cycle liquid rocket engine systems. The combustion experiments went through two different steps of a chamber pressure during single run. Self-excited pressure fluctuations with a frequency of 78 Hz were observed only at the relatively low chamber pressure condition. These pressure fluctuations are regarded as a bulk mode. The intensity of pressure fluctuations by a root-mean-square value is 13.3% normalized by the chamber static pressure and no pressure excitation was observed at the design pressure condition. The bulk mode has an identical phase across the inside of the chamber and reveals the similar characteristics to the Helmholtz resonator.
