In this paper, we propose a method to search candidates of network reconfiguration to restore distribution system with distributed energy resources using a level-based tree search algorithm. First, we introduce a method of expressing distribution network with distributed energy resources for fault restoration, and to represent the distribution network into a simplified graph. Second, we explain the tree search algorithm, and introduce a method of performing the tree search on the basis of search levels, which we call a level-based tree search in this paper. Then, we propose a candidate search method for fault restoration, and explain it using an example. Finally, we verify the proposed method using computer simulations.

다상 고정층 촉매반응기(Multiphase catalytic fixed-bed reactor)에서 기체 유동과 관련, 반응기 내부 구조 디자인에 따른 feed 가스의 분산성 변화를 분석하였다. 다상 촉매반응기의 경우 feed gas의 투입방법이 전체 공정의 반응효율을 크게 결정하는바 본 연구에서는 산업현장에서 활용도가 높은 환형 가스 주입부로 구성된 다상 고정층 촉매반응기를 대상으로 다양한 조건하에서 촉매 반응기 내부에서의 feed가스 분산성 변화를 분석하였다. 다상 촉매반응기의 feed gas 주입과 관련하여 다양한 방안이 제시되고 있는데 그 중 환형 가스 주입방식을 활용하는 방법은 타 기술대비 상대적으로 저렴한 투자비와 좁은 작업공간하에서 기체의 분산성을 향상 시킬수 있는 특징이 있어 실제 상업 공정에서의 활용성이 매우 높다. 본 논문에서는 특히 기-고 촉매 반응기 내부 반응기체의 분산성 향상을 위해 환형 가스 주입장치 내부에 설치된 가스 주입홀 구성방법에 따른 반응기 내부 유동을 분석하였다. 분석결과 주입홀의 위치가 가스 투입라인의 접선방향에 위치하는 것은 전체 분산성에 큰 영향을 주지 못하며 대부분 가스투입 입구와 맞은편 부분에 위치하는 경우 분산성이 향상되는 것으로 분석되었다. 결과적으로 환형 가스주입장치의 최적 설계는 feed 가스의 분산성에 큰 영향을 미치므로 초기단계에서 이러한 점을 고려한 설계 및 분석연구가 선행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Utilities are trying to install the equipment of high quality to avoid deterioration of supply reliability. In addition, many sectionalizing switches which can decrease the total outage value for a fault are installed for the same reason. Therefore, utilities are interested in stun dards and criteria for installing switches to optimize the total cost on distribution systems. The affect of sectionalizing switches installed on distribution feeder is gradually decreased because the failure rate on distribution feeder is decreased. Also the automation for distribution systems is widely applied for the efficient operation. Therefore, the renewal for installation standards of sectionalizing switches Is required to reflect the current operation situation. The variable data is used to consider the KEPCO's real situation of distribution feeder as follows; the feeder capacity, connecting rate, feeder length, failure rate of distribution feeder, the failure rate of switches, perception time of feeder fault, the restoration time for a faulted section, the transfer time to other feeders, and the switching time. In this study, We propose equations which can determine the number of sectionalizing switches for minimizing the outage and switch installation cost.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to present a probability distribution of the burst pressure of API 5L X65 pipes for the reliability assessment of corroded gas pipelines. Methods: Corrosion is a major cause of weakening the residual strength of the pipe. The mean residual strength on the corrosion defect can be obtained using the burst pressure code. However, in order to obtain the pipe reliability, a probability distribution of the burst pressure should be provided. This study is concerned with estimating the burst pressure distribution using Monte Carlo simulation. A response surface method is employed to represent the distribution parameter as a model of the corrosion defect size. Results: The experimental results suggest that the normal or Weibull distribution should be suitable as the probability distribution of the burst pressure. In particular, it was shown that the probability distribution parameters can be well predicted by using the depth and length of the corrosion defect. Conclusion: Given a corrosion defect on the pipe, its corresponding burst pressure distribution can be provided at instant. Subsequently, a reliability assessment of the pipe is conducted as well.

As the system reliability of power supply is highly increased, we need distribution maintenance techniques without any power interruption. To meet such an increasing demand, a groat deal of hot line work on the high voltage overhead distribution lines has been carried out. In this regard, Hot line work techniques has being applied widely. However, hot line work techniques can not cover all kinds of work without interruption. To cope with those problems, the temporary power supply work technique such as bypass cable truck technique, temporary switch technique and mobile transformer technique was developed and applied. This paper presents the most optimal method according to distribution work contents through the comparison and analysis the characteristis and problems of the existing various work techniques. Also this paper suggested the countermeasers of the prsent problems.

Quality Control programs for industrial hygiene laboratory have successfully been operated since the 1st round was initiated in April 1992. Three rounds have been completed. Overall analytical performance of participants was improved through a subsquent round. The first round had a large variation among analytical results of all participants, 26.34%~504.22% of coefficient of variation. But the variation of analytical performance in the 2nd and 3rd rounds decreased to 40.42%~52.55% and 10.74%~20.98%, respectively. The difference of analytical performance among participants was decreased by operation of subsquent round. By distribution of Running Performance Index (RPI), over 50% of participants belongs to Category 3 in the first round. The average percentage of participants assigned to Category 3 in the 2nd and 3rd round was decreased to 37.2%. A definite analytical performance improvement of participants seems to be obtained. "A" and "B" group have more participants assigned to Category 3 than those of "C" group through the distribution of RPI by group divided to similar participant. By the distribution of RPI all participants, the percent of participant being over 200 RPI in the 1st round was 43%~52%, but decreased to 9%~29% and 9%~27%, in the 2nd and 3rd round, respectively. These results mentioned above indicate that the analytical performance of all participants have been improved by subsquent Quality Control Program although newcomers joined and a few participants droped out. But, there are some participants with poor analytical performance. Industrial Health Research Institute (IHRI) will offer service such as education, communication and visitation to them, and improve quality of their analytical performance in the future.

Ginseng is being distributed in 35 countries around the world and there are differences by each country in the distribution volume and amount. However, since there is no accurate statistics on production and distribution amount by each country, it is very difficult to predict the world ginseng market. Ginseng trading companies and governments are in desperate need of comprehensive data that shows the world ginseng market status for sales and marketing. For that reason, this study will look into the approximate size of the world ginseng market based on recent ginseng distribution amount by each country and production by major ginseng producing nations. In addition, the review sets an opportunity to check the status of ginseng (Korea) in the world and presents future direction by examining recent history of ginseng development in Korea, which is one of the world's largest ginseng distributers. Since ginseng is cultivated in limited areas due to its growth characteristics, ginseng distributing countries can be divided based on whether they grow it domestically or not. In general, four countries including South Korea, China, Canada, and the US are the biggest producers and their total production of fresh ginseng is approximately 79,769 tons which is more than 99% of 80,080 tons, the total ginseng production around the world. Ginseng is distributed to different countries in various forms such as fresh ginseng, dried ginseng, boiled and dried ginseng (Taekuksam), red ginseng and the related products, etc. and is consumed as food, dietary supplements, functional food, medical supplies, etc. Also, the world ginseng market including ginseng root and the processed products, is estimated to be worth $2,084 million. In particular, the size of the Korean market is $1,140 million which makes Korea the largest distributer in the world. Since the interests in alternative medicine and healthy food is increasing globally, the consumer market of ginseng with many features and the processed products are expected to expand continuously.

지난 10년여간의 국내외 연구 결과 배전 케이블에 대한 부분방전 측정기술의 정확성은 상당히 향상되었고 그 결과물로서 수많은 측정 장비와 기법이 개발되어 오늘날 널리 보급되고 있다. 하지만 여전히 측정된 Data에 대한 해석은 일부 전문가들에게 조차 복잡하고 어려운 일로 남아 있다. 자칫 그릇된 해석은 향후 큰 사고로 이어질 수 있으므로 선로 운영자의 입장에서는 측정결과의 신뢰성에 민감할 수밖에 없다. 이러한 신뢰성을 높이 고자 대부분의 배전 케이블 구성이 3상으로 구성되어 있고 임의의 상에서 부분방전이 발생했을시 PRPDA(Phase Resolved Partial Discharge Analysis)기법으로는 발생상 확인에 한계가 있다. 이러한 단점을 보안 하고자 본 논문에서는 3PARD 분석 기법을 활용한 발생상 확인 및 검증을 하였다.
