This paper presents an application of the parallel Adaptive Evolutionary Algorithm (AEA) to search an optimal solution of the service restoration in electric power distribution systems, which is a discrete optimization problem. The main objective of service restoration is, when a fault or overload occurs, to restore as much load as possible by transferring the de-energized load in the out of service area via network reconfiguration to the appropriate adjacent feeders at minimum operational cost without violating operating constraints. This problem has many constraints and it is very difficult to find the optimal solution because of its numerous local minima. In this investigation, a parallel AEA was developed for the service restoration of the distribution systems. In parallel AEA, a genetic algorithm (GA) and an evolution strategy (ES) in an adaptive manner are used in order to combine the merits of two different evolutionary algorithms: the global search capability of the GA and the local search capability of the ES. In the reproduction procedure, proportions of the population by GA and ES are adaptively modulated according to the fitness. After AEA operations, the best solutions of AEA processors are transferred to the neighboring processors. For parallel computing, a PC cluster system consisting of 8 PCs was developed. Each PC employs the 2 GHz Pentium IV CPU and is connected with others through switch based fast Ethernet. To show the validity of the proposed method, the developed algorithm has been tested with a practical distribution system in Korea. From the simulation results, the proposed method found the optimal service restoration strategy. The obtained results were the same as that of the explicit exhaustive search method. Also, it is found that the proposed algorithm is efficient and robust for service restoration of distribution systems in terms of solution quality, speedup, efficiency, and computation time.

Internal and external conditions are currently changing-e.g, climate change increased awareness of energy crisis, and accelerated paradigm about green growth. Accordingly, revitalization of public transportation which enables green transportation system is receiving more attention than the past. Meanwhile, as the incom level increased, people required better quality of service, and consequently, various proposals about improving the services are being promoted. Generally, the quality of the spaces within transit in developed countries is represent the quality of life, thus concerns about the transit service of quality are emerging. This study, through the domestic and abroad studies about transit service quality, redefines transit service quality including rail and reviews the related categories. In that order this study deducts each type of evaluation categories and factors, with comparing and reviewing with various cases in Korea and overseas. Based on the whole process, the paper elicits implications and proposes to the research about the evaluation of transit quality of service.

초고령화 사회로의 진입으로 인해 웰니스에 대한 관심이 높아지면서, 인공지능 의사를 통한 개인 맞춤형 의료서비스가 확대되고 있는 추세이다. 개인 맞춤형 의료서비스를 위해서는 기존의 병원시스템 구성요소인 PM/PA, OCS, EMR, PACS, LIS 만으로는 정확한 의료분석 서비스를 제공하기 어려운 문제점이 발생된다. 따라서 개인 맞춤형 의료서비스에 적합한 병원시스템 모델 및 구축방안에 대한 제시가 필요한 실정이다. 현재 국내에서도 의료 클라우드 서비스, 왓슨을 도입한 인공지능 진료서비스 등이 일부 시행되고 있지만, 아직 체계적인 병원시스템 구축을 통한 사례는 많지 않다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 개인 맞춤형 의료서비스에 적합한 병원시스템 모델을 제안한다. 이를 위해 기존의 병원시스템 구성요소에 의료 빅데이터 구축 및 AI 의료 분석시스템을 하나로 통합한 모델을 설계하고 모듈별 구축방안을 제시한다. 제안 모델은 향후 새로운 병원시스템 도입 및 구축을 위한 포괄적인 가이드 라인을 제공하는 기반연구로서 의미를 가진다.

This study aims to develop a Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) that uses wind power produced when an urban train is in motion, by utilizing a mounted turbine. This system was designed to generate and store electric power from wind power of a travelling urban train. The flywheel was designed to continue rotation using a one-way clutch bearing installed in the turbine shaft pulley, even in cases where the urban train decelerates or stops. This FESS can generate an additional 44% of electric power in comparison to a system not equipped with a flywheel. The generated power and operational features of the FESS were evaluated and verified through a wind tunnel test. The results show that the electric power stored in the FESS could supply auxiliary power for urban train components or service equipment, such as charging mobiles, Wi-Fi modules, and electric lights.

Small islands are quite adequate places where microgrid system with renewable sources can replace diesel engines as operation costs of diesel engine in most small islands are very high. To get the large amount of renewable energy, the microgrid system has very large capacity of renewable sources. The system with large capacity of renewable sources can meet the case when supplied energy is greater than the load and the fluctuation of source output is very large. The battery energy storage system can be a solution to stabilize the system with large capacity of renewable sources. In this case, BESS can be utilized as a master source for the synchronous operation of all sources including diesel engine, wind turbine and PV. The diesel generators can be used as a backup in case the BESS SOC goes below a certain level. In this paper, we suggest a novel unit commitment of diesel generators and operation schedule of pump for water supply service with the information of wind forecast, PV forecast, and load forecast. The proposed methods has been implemented and tested at the test bed in Gasa-Island.

Since the railway passenger services have been recognized as important factor for success in railway, electrical energy consumption in railway station for high quality service has greatly increased. Furthermore, the number of the private railway station has gradually increased. Therefore, the operation conditions for railway power distribution system is dramatically changed in comparison with the past. So, this paper proposes the optimal construction method for railway power distribution system considering economical efficiency and the reliability of power supply to establish the railway power distribution system standard for the future railway industry.

A multiobjective analysis technique was applied for the optimum operation of pumps and reservoirs in service water transmission systems. Three major objectives were identified and assessed on the normally operating service water transmission systems. They are, 1) stability of pump operation; 2) economic point of view in minimizing the energy cost for pumping; 3) reliability in meeting the stochasticaly varying demands. The measures of these objectives were required times of pump on-offs in stability, required total energy cost in economics, and minimum required storage during the operating horizon in reliability. In order to find the best meeting solution to the decision maker, a set of non-dominated solutions which show the tradeoff relationships between the considering objectives were generated. The DM selects the best solution from this explicit tradeoff relationships using his heuristic decision rules or experience. The theory was verified by applying to the Kumi Service Water System. A combined technique of the ${\varepsilon}-constraint$ and the weighting methods was used to generate the nondominated solutions, and the dynamic programming algorithm was applied to find the optimal solution for the discretized multi-objective analysis problems.
