Before newly-built building and building remodeling, it is important to predict and analyze building energy performance through energy simulation programs. Nevertheless, simulation results widely vary depending on individual user experience and input values. Therefore, this study uses prototypical building model, a versatile tool in building energy modeling, simulation and research for researchers and policy-makers, and ASHRAE standards. Then, it analyzed the changes in design type (roof type, number of floors) for the base case. As the result, it was found that the gap of annual energy demand per between them is maximally 9.1%.

In this work, Self-adaptive Differential Evolutionary (SaDE) algorithm is proposed to solve Optimal Location and Size of Capacitor (OLSC) problem in radial distribution networks. To obtain the SaDE algorithm, two improvements have been applied on control parameters of mutation and crossover operators. To expand the study, three load conditions have been considered, i.e., constant, varying and effective loads. Objective function is introduced for the load conditions. The annual cost is fitness of problem, in addition to this cost, CPU time, voltage profile, active power loss and total installed capacitor banks and their related costs have been used for comparisons. To confirm the ability of each improvements of SaDE, the improvements are studied both in separate and simultaneous conditions. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, it is tested on IEEE 10-bus and 34-bus radial distribution networks and compared with other approaches.

This paper describes a probabilistic annual congestion cost assessment of a grid at a composite power system derived from a model. This probabilistic congestion cost assessment simulation model includes capacity limitation and uncertainties of the generators and transmission lines. In this paper, the proposed probabilistic congestion cost assessment model is focused on an annualized simulation methodology for solving long-term grid expansion planning issues. It emphasizes the questions of "how should the uncertainties of system elements (generators, lines and transformers, etc.) be considered for annual congestion cost assessment from the macro economic view point"? This simulation methodology comes essentially from a probabilistic production cost simulation model of composite power systems. This type of model comes from a nodal equivalent load duration curve based on a new effective load model at load points. The characteristics and effectiveness of this new simulation model are illustrated by several case studies of a test system.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the characteristics and actual state of energy consumption by the analysis of energy consumption data in an office building. This study examines and analyzes daily and monthly energy consumption of an office building located in Seoul, Korea regarding type of load and business classification within a building. The results are as follows. 1) Energy consumption of office building for each type of load show similar consumption patterns, regardless of seasons such as cooling period and heating period. 2) Out of all annual energy consumption, consumption for lighting took about $43\;\%,$ general electric Power about $23\;\%,$ emergency power $25\;\%,$ computer center $5\;\%$ and cooling power $4\;\%,$ showing that the consumption for lighting was highest, and the percentage of energy consumption for cooling power for operation of cooling facilities took the lowest percentage. 3) Annual gas consumption used for heating and hot water supply were $38,\;36\;\%$ for officetel and office respectively, and $26\;\%$ for arcade. 4) Electricity consumptions used for cooling power for each use of building, office and officetel recorded in July and August of cooling seasons. Even though it shows different patterns for each month, energy consumption showed unique pattern throughout the cooling seasons.

This paper is to simulate a solar hot water heating system used in a medium-scale office building using the dynamic simulation. This study is focused chiefly on the annual variation of energy performance, the solar fraction with respect to the difference of hot water load temperature. For this purpose the simple model of a solar hot water heating system has been considered with TRNSYS program and the simulations were performed with the weather data in Seoul, Korea. The share ratio of solar hot water system of the summer season appeared higher than the winter season because that the decrease of the domestic hot water load was far despite the relative decrease of the solar radiation. As the temperature was lower from $60^{\circ}C$ to $50^{\circ}C$, the solar fraction increases 8.1 percent due to 20-percent decrease of annual hot water load.

PSHC(Prismatic Solar Hybrid Collector) is a passive solar system composed of prismatic acrly glazing, glazing and ventilating fan. This PSHC system is applied to effectively reduce heating ventilation load as well as lighting load. But so far no method appraising thermal performance of this PSHC system has been developed yet. To assess thermal performance of the PSHC system, a prototype PSHC experimental facility and TRNSYS subroutine type-205 model have been developed in Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER). The results indicated that l)TRNSYS empirical model of PSHC has been properly modeled with actual performance data, 2)a more reliable source of weather data such as NASA and KIER weather station have been also obtained, and therefore, 3)the annual energy performance of PSHC could be assessed based on this proposed TRNSYS model.

The paper proposes an optimal sizing method of a customer's battery energy storage system (BESS) which aims at managing the electricity demand of the customer to minimize electricity cost under the time of use(TOU) pricing. Peak load limit of the customer and charging and discharging schedules of the BESS are optimized on annual basis to minimize annual electricity cost, which consists of peak load related basic cost and actual usage cost. The optimal scheduling is used to assess the maximum cost savings for all sets of candidate capacities of BESS. An optimal size of BESS is determined from the cost saving curves via capacity of BESS. Case study uses real data from an apartment-type factory customer and shows how the proposed method can be employed to optimally design the size of BESS for customer demand management.

Energy demands for hotels in Korea are surveyed and statistically analyzed to develop calculation models for a simulation. Daily energy loads of 16 hotels located in Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Inchon, and Daejon are analyzed based on energy log sheets. Detailed hourly loads are field measured for 3 hotels that are carefully selected among the surveyed. One of the salient features for energy consumption by hotels is their weekly periodicity. Relatively large values of deviations are observed for both heat and electricity loads through the country. The mains factors are: location, hotel grade (luxuriousness) and insulation. Detailed quantitative information such are annual average, daily variation, and hourly patterns are provided.

This study investigated about the seasonal variation of pollutant loads flowing into the Yeong-il bay from constructing Tank model which is the simulation model to evaluate the daily river discharge and pollutant load in the Hyeong-san river watershed. The estimated annual average river discharge of Hyeong-san river flowing into Yeong-il bay is about 878.34×10/sup 6/㎥/year which is about 73% of annual average of total precipitation in Hyeong-san river watershed. The annual average of pollutant load flowing into Yeong-il bay was estimated each 15.11 ton-COD/year, 23.24 ton-SS/year, 10.65 ton-TN/year, and 0.54 ton-Tp/year. For the seasonal variation of pollutant loads, it was tended as increasing of river discharge as increasing of inflow pollutant loads at June and July of summer and October of autumn. The main source of pollutant loads was found to be the Pohang city and Pohang industrial complex which are located near the mouth of Hyeong-san river. Therefore, for effective water quality management of Yeong-il bay, the counterplan to reduce pollutant loads from the main source of pollutant loads is required.
