The $H_{\infty}$ robust controller is designed for on-line adaptive control application by using polynomial approach. The $H_{\infty}$ robust controllers for adaptive system were designed first by Grimble. But they have a problem that two minimum costs can exist and did not minimize the conventional $H_{\infty}$ cost function which is the $H_{\infty}$ sum of weighted sensitivity and complementary sensitivity terms. In this paper, the two minimum costs problem can be avoided and the conventional $H_{\infty}$ cost function is minimized by employing the Youla parameterization and polynomial approach at the same time. In addition pole placement is possible without any relation with weighting function.

본 논문은 1,185세대가 거주하고 있는 공동주택을 대상지로 하여 정부지원제도인 '태양광주택보급사업'과 '발전차액지원제도'를 각각 활용하여 PV 시스템 도입을 도입할 경우의 경제성을 비교 분석하였다. 각 시나리오별 분석 결과, 수익으로 전력판매수익 만을 고려한 경우, NPV가 보조금 지원제도는 -560백만원으로 분석되었고, 발전차액지원제도는 -87백만원으로 분석되었다. 전력판매수익과 온실가스 배출권 수익을 함께 고려한 경우에도 NPV가 보조금 지원제도는 -530백만원으로 분석되었고, 발전차액지원제도는 -57백만원으로 분석되어 모두 수익성이 없는 사업으로 나타났다. PV 시스템 도입으로 인해 회피되는 대기오염물질로 인한 사회적 편익을 함께 분석한 결과도 그 편익이 미미하여 여전히 경제성이 없는 것으로 평가된다. 할인율과 초기비용의 변동을 기준으로 민감도 분석을 한 경우, 보조금 지원제도의 경우에는 할인율을 3%까지 낮추고, 초기 설비 투자 비용을 정부 제시기준 단가인 721만원/kW에서 650만원/kW로 낮춘 것에 배출권 수익까지 포함한 경우에도 여전히 사업성이 없는 사업으로 나타났지만, 발전차액 지원 제도의 경우에는 배출권 수익을 포함하지 않고도 할인율 약 7.2%와 초기 설비투자비용 684만원/kW에서 각각 손익분기점이 되면서 수익성이 있는 사업으로 전환되어 발전차액지원제도가 PV 시스템 도입에 훨씬 유리한 것으로 나타났다. 사회적 비용을 고려한 경우에는 보조금제도를 활용한 모든 시나리오는 배출권 수익과 환경편익을 모두 포함하여도 수익성이 없는 사업으로 나타났으나, 발전차액지원제도를 활용한 시나리오의 경우에는 배출권 수입을 제외하고도 할인율 7.2%와 초기비용 686만원/kW가 각각 손익분기점이 되면서 수익성이 있는 사업으로 전환되었다. 본 연구의 결과, 할인율이 7.2% 이하가 되든지 초기 설비투자비용이 정부 제시 기준 단가보다 4.9% 낮아진다면 발전차액지원제도 하에서도 공동주택의 태양광발전시스템이 경제성을 갖는 것으로 분석되었다. 우리나라의 높은 아파트 보급률과 PV 시스템 도입으로 발생하는 긍정적인 사회적 환경적 편익을 고려하면 공동주택의 태양광 시설 설치에 대해 발전차액지원제도를 확대 지원함으로써 화석연료의 사용을 절감하고, 온실가스 배출을 줄여서 에너지자급도 제고와 기후변화에 대한 대응을 통해 녹색성장에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구의 목적은 빗물저류 및 흡수 등 우수관리를 위해 설치하는 최적관리기법(Best Management Practices: BMPs)의 효율적인 위치 및 분배 정도를 유역단위에서 살펴보는 것이다. 이를 위해 여러 개의 지류유역과 본류유역으로 이루어진 하나의 대유역을 구축한 후 Hydrological Simulation Program Fortran(HSPF)을 이용하여 도시유역 내다양한 규모와 위치의 BMPs 시나리오를 제작/모의하였다. 이때 대유역 내 전체 BMPs 면적은 일정하도록 하였으며, 유역하구의 첨두유량과 이와 관련된 회피비용을 효율성의 지표로 활용하였다. 모의 결과 BMPs가 상류지류 유역들에 분산 입지했을 때 가장 높은 효율을 보였으며, 본류유역을 포함하여 소유역 한 곳에 집중되었을 때 가장 낮은 효율을 보였다. 하지만 본 연구는 BMPs의 위치 및 분배 변수를 제외한 BMPs 설계 및 유지관리, 유역 내 다양한 토양특성등의 기타변수가 통제된 가상유역을 대상으로 진행되었다는 한계를 안고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 유역관리에서 BMPs위치 및 분배가 유역관리에 중요한 정책변수일 수 있다는 가능성을 제시하는 데 그치고 있으며, 이러한 가능성은 향후 국내유역에 대한 실증적 모의연구를 통해 논의될 수 있을 것이다.

This paper concerns a VHDL design and simulation of an accurate and cost-effective fuzzy logic controller (FLC). The accurcy of the proposed FLC is obtained by using the center of gravity (COG) defuzzifier that considers both membership values and spans of membership functions in calculating a crisp value. The cost-effectiveness of the proposed FLC is obtained by restructuring the conventional FLC in the following ways: Firstly, the MAX-MIN inference is inference is replaced by a read-modify-write operation that can be implemented economically in the structure of register files. Secondly, the division in the COG defuzzifier is avoided by finding the moment equilibrium point. The proposed COG defuzzifier has two disadvantages that it requires additional multipliers and it takes a lot of computation time to find the moment equilibrium point. The first disadvantage is overcome by replacing the mulitpliers with stochastic AND operations and the second disadvantage is alleviated by using a coarse-to-fine searching algorithm. The proposed FLC is described in VHDL structurally and behaviorally and whether it is working well or not is checked on SYNOPSYS VHDL simulator by using the truck backer-upper control problem.

In this study, Techno-economic evaluation model for carbon capture & sequestration (CCS) technologies are reviewed. Based on a key parameters of Korea's electricity market, performance data of 10 MW-scale post-combustion $CO_2$ capture pilot plant in Boryong station, the cost of $CO_2$ avoided was evaluated followed by international guideline suggested by IEA CCS costing methods task force. The result showed that Korea's Electricity cost including CAPEX & OPEX of reference power plant is relatively low compared to OECD nations which lead to a lower CCS cost ($33USD\;t/CO_2$). And future work using newly evaluated CAPEX & OPEX data of power plant with/without CCS is recommended.

Objectives: Since 1991, nationwide massive neonatal screening program for phenylketonuria (PKU) and congenital hypothyroidism have been performed in Korea. As in many other countries, efficiency of this program has not been definitely concluded. For the purpose of evaluation of this program, from the perspective of efficiency, a cost-benefit analysis was carried out. Methods: Costs of the detection and the treatment program were compared with the projected benefit(avoided costs) that results from the prevention of the mental retardation associated with the disorders due to PKU and hypothyroidism. Costs and benefits were discounted at an annual rate of 5%, and duration of life-long labor was assumed to be 30 years. Cost and benefit were estimated based on the detection rates of one case of PKU per 5,572 and one case of congenital hypothyroidism per 32,554 babies screened during 1991-1997. Results: The benefit-cost ratio was 0.418. The sensitivity analysis for the discount rates and labor durations showed that most cost-benefit ratios were lower than one(1.0) except when discount rate was changed to 3% and detection rate to two- or threefold and/or labor duration to 40 years. Conclusion: The result of this study suggested that present program of mass screening for PKU and congenital hypothyroidism could not be justified in terms of efficiency. It doesn't coincide with the results of previous studies in major developed countries, presumably because of difference in detection rates and welfare cost for the disabled.

Background: Lancet-related needlestick injuries (NSIs) occur steadily in clinical practices. Safety-engineered devices (SEDs) can systematically reduce NSIs. However, the use of SEDs is not active and no study to guide the implementation of SEDs was known in South Korea. The lancet-related NSIs may be eliminated to zero incidence using a SED lancet with effective sharp injury protection and reuse prevention features. Materials and Methods: We implemented a SED lancet by replacing a conventional prick lancet in a tertiary hospital in a sequential approach. A spot test of the new SED was conducted for 1 month to check the acceptability in practice and a questionnaire survey was obtained from the healthcare workers (HCWs). A pilot implementation of the SED lancet in 2 wards was made for 1 year. Based on these preliminary interventions, a hospital-wide full implementation of the SED lancet was launched. The incidence of NSIs and cost expenditure before and after the intervention were compared. Results: There were 29 cases of conventional prick lancet-related NSIs for 3 years before the full implementation of SED lancet. The proportion of prick lancet-related NSIs among yearly all kinds of NSIs during two years before the pilot study was average 11.7% (22/188). Pre-interventional baseline incidence of all kinds of NSIs was 7.01 per 100 HCW-years. After the full implementation of SED lancet, the lancet-related NSIs became zero in the 2nd year (P = 0.001). The average direct cost of 18,393 US dollars (USD) per year from device and post-exposure medical care before the intervention rose to 20,701 USD in the 2nd year of the intervention. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was 210 USD per injury avoided. Conclusion: The implementation of a SED lancet could eliminate the lancet-related NSIs to zero incidence. The cost increase incurred by the use of SED lancet was tolerable.

This paper shows some achievements at bending of extruded aluminum profiles during the extrusion process. The conventional process for the production of bent profiles involves a successive extrusion, stretching, and bending of the profiles. Conventional bending methods can not meet demands far precision and cost-effective production in some cases, due to cross sectional deformation, irregular decrease of tube wall thickness and a complication of the process design. An estimation of spring-back required for precision of the bending radius can not always be achieved by the over bending of the profile. Since the profile is hot during the bending process, the spring-back phenomenon can be avoided. This means that an additional bending process is not necessary. Consequently, flexible bending can be achieved with cost reduction and quality improvement. Experimental tests were completed to study the relationship between curvature radius of profile and position of guide on the extrusion for vehicle bumper. A7108 is applied as a billet material in order to increase strength. The overall correlation between the experimental and numerical results is good. It is therefore concluded that the present method provides an efficient means for the constant curvature extrusion process.

In this paper, a model predictive torque control (MPTC) without the use of a weighting factor for surface mounted permanent-magnet synchronous machine (SPMSM) drive systems is presented. Firstly, the desired voltage vector is predicted in real time according to the principles of deadbeat torque and flux control. Then the sector of this desired voltage vector is determined. The complete enumeration for testing all of the feasible voltage vectors is avoided by testing only the candidate vectors contained in the sector. This means that only two voltage vectors in the sector need to be tested for selecting the optimal voltage vector in each control period. Thus, the calculation time can be reduced when compared with the conventional enumeration method. On the other hand, a novel cost function that only includes the dq-axis voltage errors between the desired voltage and candidate voltage is designed to eliminate the weighting factor used in the conventional MPTC. Thus, the control complexity caused by the tuning of the weighting factor is effectively decreased when compared with the conventional MPTC. Simulation and experimental investigation have been carried out to verify the proposed method.

The Korean government implemented 259 road projects from 2004 to 2007, valued at $18.4 billion. Change orders of these road projects occurred 8,973 times and, subsequently, caused significant increases in the cost of the projects, approximately up to $4.2 billion (22.8% of the initial budget). These significant problems of huge change orders require a more workable control system for budget management whereas the effectiveness of the government's control is still not satisfied. However, previous approaches and studies mostly limited their analyses to simply classifying the causes of the change orders. This paper investigates the real frequency and cost impacts incurred by each cause of a change order, primarily based on 218 road projects in Korea. The paper then identifies the attributes of change orders through a survey of 204 project participants in that those sources were inevitable or avoided if properly managed. The causes of the change orders are further analyzed with analysis of variance (ANOVA) in connection with contract volume, bid award rate, the contractor's capacity to perform, and the design company's capacity. This study found that if the contract volume is smaller, then the possibility of change orders is higher. Interestingly, if the bid award rate is less than 67.5%, it signifies the highest rate of change orders. In addition, the contractors whose construction ability is assessed as the top-ranked group showed the lowest change order rates. With these results, this paper provides the preventive guidelines for reducing the likelihood of change orders.
