This paper presents the protection effect of surge protective devices(SPDs) according to the conditions of installations. To propose the effective protection measures of information and communication equipments against lightning surges, actual-sized experiments in relation to the protection effects on the positions of installations of SPDs, the length of branch circuit, the wiring methods, and the materials of conduit, were conducted. The effective method of protecting information and communication equipments from lightning surges is to install SPDs in the vicinity of input terminals of each electronic equipments to be protected. The wiring method of connecting an SPD minimizing the length of leads is desirable when point-to-point wiring is to be used.

Recently fault currents are increasing in a network. It is caused by increase in electric demand and high penetration of distributed generation with renewable energy sources. Moreover, distribution network has become more and more complex as mesh network to improve the distribution system reliability and increase the flexibility and agility of network operation. Accordingly, the fault current will exceed capacity of circuit breakers soon and all the various rational solutions to solve this problem are taken into account. Under these circumstances, superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) is a new alternative in the viewpoint of technical and economic aspects. This study presents operation processes for a resistive-type of SFCL, and it proposes reliability model for the SFCL. When a SFCL is installed into a network, the contribution of decreased fault currents to failure for distribution equipments can be quantified. As a result, it is expected that a SFCL makes the reliability of adjacent equipments on existing network improve and these changes are analyzed. We propose a methodology to evaluate the reliability in the distribution network where a SFCL is installed considering a reliability model for resistive-type of SFCL and reliability changes for adjacent equipments which are proposed in this paper.

JP Nagoya. Inc started special work(passenger order} to transmit information to the passenger from 2001 following the eastern area' heavy rain in 2000. They introduced 'Passenger Information System' which uses self communication network(LAN, PHS) mainly and wire/wireless and internet jointly. As an information transmission method of this system, there is "train information transmission using PHS" which transmits info to LED display in special train. This system configured by adding new equipments and using existing equipments, network in maximum, this study reviewed the system, which transmits real time operation condition unified by these passenger order to passenger in high quality, more promptly.

This paper presents the optimal operation scheduling of the private cogeneration system connected with auxiliary equipments. And the optimal size of auxiliary equipments is determined through evaluations of the minimum operation cost. The optimal operation scheduling is established by using the linear programming method. Simulation results show that the auxiliary boiler is operated as an economical facility but the thermal storage tank is used as a back up facility for emergency.

This paper presents the result of survey of case study for Harmonics in electrical Installations of buildings. Recently, many power electronic equipments(power converter, computers, air conditioners electronic ballasts for fluorescent lamps and so on) are used in office buildings, and harmonic current from them influence the other equipments in a distribution line. Notably, voltage distortion or voltage harmonics may approach or exceed is allowable level in power distribution system. Individual electric power consumers and end-users and responsible for reducing current harmonics while companies or utilities are responsible for reducing voltage harmonics at the point of common coupling in distribution system. As for harmonics, which one of the electric power qualities, it becomes important to obtain harmonic voltage/current distribution of the power system precisely because the use of power electronic apparatus in increasing. However, there are some difficulties on evaluating the measured data in comparison with the simulated result. The primary cause was indentitied with the resonance of harmonics form many sources. To suppress harmonics in electrical installations of buildings, one of many methods suggest that resonance frequencies are controlled by modulating the capacities of high-voltage customer's capacitors.

In case of image observation equipments, CCTV for short distance visual field is usually installed and operated mostly as the means of crime-prevention. However, the extensive demand for monitoring problems in case of the increase in intelligent crimes and disasters has led to the necessity of the development of long-distance observation equipments embedded with Night View functions. In case of the Night View equipments, the relevant market is set up to be focused mostly on Thermal Observation Device(hereinafter, TOD), but some shortcomings such as the limitation of image visibility and excessive maintenance cost, etc. have actually caused the necessity of new long distance Night View equipment. Moreover there might follow lots of difficulties in long-distance visualization in the event that irregular reflection is generated by minute particles in the atmosphere such as fog, smog, and dust, etc. These factors are motivate the work presented in this study. Our study is aimed at the realization of Pulsed Laser Illuminator and newly proposed Range-Gated image acquisition technology. And also the implementation of Tracker for continuous trace of the objects of interest from the obtained sequence images.

For the method of train position detection, ground-based train position estimation mainly has been applied so far. Ground-based position detection is the way to detect train current positions by installing train position equipments on railroad lines. However, the ground-based methods should install detection equipments on each section, and can only be able to detect train positions from main command center. So this method has several disadvantages such as an discontinuous position detection, an increment in cost of installation and maintenance. To make possible continuous train position detection, and to minimize amount of the cost, the vehicle-based position detection method should be chosen to determine train positions by loading position equipments on vehicles. In this paper, to realize the vehicle-based train position detection method, configuration scheme of train position detection equipment is suggested by using GPS, inertial sensor, speed sensor and its performance is verified by simulations.
