Penetration and installation of a new dynamic technology known as Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) in a practical and dynamic network requires and force expert engineer to develop robust and flexible strategy for planning and control. Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is one of the recent and effective FACTS devices designed for multi control operation to enhance the power system security. This paper presents a dynamic strategy based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for optimal parameters setting of UPFC to enhance the system loadability. Firstly, we perform a multi power flow analysis with load incrementation to construct a global database to determine the initial efficient bounds associated to active power and reactive power target vector. Secondly a PSO technique applied to search the new parameters setting of the UPFC within the initial new active power and reactive power target bounds. The proposed approach is implemented with Matlab program and verified with IEEE 30-Bus test network. The results show that the proposed approach can converge to the near optimum solution with accuracy, and confirm that flexible multi-control of this device coordinated with efficient location enhance the system security of power system by eliminating the overloaded lines and the bus voltage violation.

현재 네트워크에서는 호스트가 다중의 액세스 포인트를 통해 인터넷에 접속될 수 있는 경우를 빈번하게 발견할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 하나의 사용자 플로우가 사용할 수 있는 가용대역폭을 높이기 위해 이들 다중 인터페이스로의 경로에 효율적으로 부하를 분산하는 방안을 제안하였다. 이를 위해 멀티호밍을 지원하는 새로운 연결기반 전송 계층 프로토콜 표준인 SCTP(Stream Control Transmission protocol)가 다중 인터페이스로 부하를 분산하도록 확장하였고, 이를 LS(Load Sharing) 모드 서비스라 명명하였다. LS 모드 서비스는 흐름 제어와 흔잡 제어를 분리하였으며, 혼잡 윈도우에 비례하여 각 인터페이스 경로에 데이타를 분배한다. 또한, 특정 경로에서의 손실이 다른 경로에 미치는 영향을 최소화하기 위해 중복적인 패킷 재전송을 하도록 하였으며, SACK이 순서대로 도착하지 않는 경우에도 수신자 윈도우를 제대로 파악할 수 있는 방안을 제안하였다. 이로 인해 LS 모드 서비스는 다중 인터페이스를 사용함으로 인해 발생하는 부작용을 최소화하는 동시에 가용대역폭 향상을 위한 효율적인 부하 분산을 한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안하는 방안이 경로 간 대역폭 차이에 관계없이 두 경로에서 가용한 대역폭의 합에 가까운 작업량을 달성함을 볼 수 있었다 또한 지연이 투 배까지 되는 경로를 사용할 때에도 단일 경로 사용에 비해 20%의 성능향상을 가져올 수 있음을 보았다.

In the thermal power plant, there are six manipulated variables: main steam flow, feedwater flow, fuel flow, air flow, spray flow, and gas recirculation flow. There are five controlled variables: generator output, main steam pressure, main steam temperature, exhaust gas density, and reheater steam temperature. Therefore, the thermal power plant control system is a multinput and output system. In the control system, the main steam temperature is typically regulated by the fuel flow rate and the spray flow rate, and the reheater steam temperature is regulated by the gas recirculation flow rate. However, strict control of the steam temperature must be maintained to avoid thermal stress. Maintaining the steam temperature can be difficult due to heating value variation to the fuel source, time delay changes in the main steam temperature versus changes in fuel flow rate, difficulty of control of the main steam temperature control and the reheater steam temperature control system owing to the dynamic response characteristics of changes in steam temperature and the reheater steam temperature, and the fluctuation of inner fluid water and steam flow rates during the load-following operation. Up to the present time, the Proportional-Integral-Derivative Controller has been used to operate this system. However, it is very difficult to achieve an optimal PID gain with no experience, since the gain of the PID controller has to be manually tuned by trial and error. This paper focuses on the characteristic comparison of the PID controller and the modified 2-DOF PID Controller (Two-Degrees-Freedom Proportional-Integral-Derivative) on the DCS (Distributed Control System). The method is to design an optimal controller that can be operated on the thermal generating plant in Seoul, Korea. The modified 2-DOF PID controller is designed to enable parameters to fit into the thermal plant during disturbances. To attain an optimal control method, transfer function and operating data from start-up, running, and stop procedures of the thermal plant have been acquired. Through this research, the stable range of a 2-DOF parameter for only this system could be found for the start-up procedure and this parameter could be used for the tuning problem. Also, this paper addressed whether an intelligent tuning method based on immune network algorithms can be used effectively in tuning these controllers.

The use of a separator to control stack temperature in a molten carbonate fuel cell was studied by numerical simulation using a computational fluid dynamics code. The stack model assumed steady-state and constant-load operation of a co-flow stack with an external reformer at atmospheric pressure. Representing a conventional cell type, separators with two flow paths, one each for the anode and cathode gas, were simulated under conditions in which the cathode gas was composed of either air and carbon dioxide (case I) or oxygen and carbon dioxide (case II). The results showed that the average cell potential in case II was higher than that in case I due to the higher partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the cathode gas. This result indicates that the amount of heat released during the electrochemical reactions was less for case II than for case I under the same load. However, simulated results showed that the maximum stack temperature in case I was lower than that in case II due to a reduction in the total flow rate of the cathode gas. To control the stack temperature and retain a high cell potential, we proposed the use of a separator with three flow paths (case III); two flow paths for the electrodes and a path in the center of the separator for the flow of nitrogen for cooling. The simulated results for case III showed that the average cell potential was similar to that in case II, indicating that the amount of heat released in the stack was similar to that in case II, and that the maximum stack temperature was the lowest of the three cases due to the nitrogen gas flow in the center of the separator. In summary, the simulated results showed that the use of a separator with three flow paths enabled temperature control in a co-flow stack with an external reformer at atmospheric pressure.

Performance analysis of a solid oxide fuel cell/micro gas turbine hybrid system is conducted at design-point and part-load conditions and its results are discussed in this study. With detailed considerations of the heat and mass transfer phenomena along various flow streams of the SOFC, the analysis based on a quasi-2D model reasonably predicts its performance at the design-point operating conditions. In case of part-load operations, performance of the hybrid system to three different operation modes(fuel only control, speed control, and VIGV control) is compared. It is found that the simultaneous control of both supplied fuel and air to the system with a variable MGT rotational speed mode is the optimum choice for the high performance operation. And then, the dynamic characteristics of a solid oxide fuel cell are briefly introduced.

As network adaptive streaming technology becomes increasingly common, transport protocol also becomes important in guaranteeing the quality of multimedia streaming. At the same time, because of the appearance of high-quality video such as Ultra High Definition (UHD), preventing buffering as well as preserving high quality while deploying a streaming service becomes important. The Internet Engineering Task Force recently published Multipath TCP (MPTCP). MPTCP improves the maximum transmission rate by simultaneously transmitting data over different paths with multiple TCP subflows. However, MPTCP cannot preserve high quality, because the MPTCP subflows slowly increase the transmission rate, and upon detecting a packet loss, drastically halve the transmission rate. In this paper, we propose a new multipath congestion control scheme for high-quality multimedia streaming. The proposed scheme preserves high quality of video by adaptively adjusting the increasing parameter of subflows according to the network status. The proposed scheme also increases network efficiency by providing load balancing and stability, and by supporting fairness with single-flow congestion control schemes.

본 연구의 목적은 낙동강 내에 위치한 강정고령보 구간을 대상으로 EFDC 모델을 검정하고, 보 구간의 유량에 따른 체류시간과 유입수 인 농도 변화가 수질 및 조류 그룹별(규조류, 녹조류, 남조류) 생체량에 미치는 영향을 평가하는데 있다. 2018년 실험자료를 이용하여 모델을 검정한 결과, 보 구간의 수위와 수온의 수직 분포, DO, 유기물, 질소, 인 계열의 시계열 변화를 적절히 모의하였다. 조류 그룹별 생체량 예측에 있어서는 계절별 변동 특성은 적절히 재현하였으나, 일부기간에 실측값과 편차가 크게 나타났다. 보의 관리수위와 유량을 조절하는 시나리오 모의결과, 보의 운영 수위를 낮출수록 유량을 증가시킬수록 수온성층이 완화 또는 해소되는 것으로 분석되었다. 강정고령보에서 수온성층이 해소된 유속은 약 0.1 m/s였으며, 이는 금강의 백제보에서 연구결과와 일치한다. 2Q 유량 시나리오 모의결과, Chl-a는 8.7% 감소하였고 규조류와 녹조류 세포수 밀도도 감소하였다. 하지만 남조류 세포수는 오히려 증가하였는데, 그 이유는 유량이 증가함에 따라 유속이 빨라져 상류경계조건의 높은 남조류 농도가 하류에 직접 영향을 끼친 것으로 나타났다. 유입수 인 부하 농도(평균 0.056mg/L)를 50% 수준으로 저감하는 시나리오 모의결과, Chl-a는 13.6 % 감소하였다. 연구결과는 강정고령보의 조류 과잉성장을 억제하기 위해서는 수리학적 제어와 함께 상류 유입 조류 농도와 인 부하량 저감이 동시에 고려되어야 함을 시사한다.

The TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) has been used to determine the water quality target. LDC (Load Duration Curve) based on hydrology has been used to support water quality assessments and development of TMDL. Also FDC (Flow Duration Curve) analysis can be used as a general indicator of hydrologic condition. The LDC is developed by multiplying FDC with the numeric water quality target of the factor for the pollutant of concern. Therefore, this study was to create LDC using the stream flow data and numeric water quality target of BOD and T-P in order to evaluate the pollutant load characterization by flow conditions in Heukcheon stream. When it is to be a high-flows condition, BOD and T-P are necessary to manage. BOD and T-P did not satisfy the numeric water quality target for both seasons (spring and summer). In order to meet the numeric water quality target in Heukcheon stream, management of non point source pollutant is much more important than that of point source pollutant control.

국내 최대 상수원인 팔당호는 하천형 호소로 분류되며, 팔당호 수질은 외부오염원의 영향이 크다. 이에 본 연구에서는 팔당호 상류지역의 오염원 분포와 오염물질 유출특성을 분석하여 BOD와 TP 관리를 위한 중점관리 오염원을 선정하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 11개 단위유역에 대한 오염원별 발생부하량과 배출부하량을 조사하고, 74개 소하천의 수질 유량 측정결과를 이용하여 유달부하량과 유역면적당 유달부하 밀도를 분석하였다. 오염원별 BOD, TP 발생부하량과 배출부하량, 유달부하량을 분석한 결과, BOD 발생부하량은 축산계가 66.0%로 가장 높은 비율을 차지하였고, BOD 배출부하량은 생활계가 42.7%를 차지하였으며, BOD 유달부하량은 축산계와 생활계가 각각 36.4%, 34.3%를 차지하는 것으로 나타났다. TP 발생부하량과 배출부하량, 유달부하량 모두 축산계에서 가장 높은 비율을 차지하였으며, 각각 82.5%, 44.4%, 46.7%로 나타났다. 또한 BOD 유달부하밀도는 인구밀도가 높은 경안천 유역이 $14.6kg/km^2/d$으로 가장 높았고, TP 유달부하밀도는 가축사육두수가 많은 청미천 유역이 $1.23kg/km^2/d$이 가장 높게 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 통해 팔당호 수질개선을 위해서는 생활오수와 가축분뇨를 중심으로 오염원관리가 필요하며 경안천 유역은 생활오수에 대한 관리가 필요하고 남한강 유역, 특히 청미천 유역은 가축분뇨에 대한 관리가 필요한 것으로 판단되었다.

In this study, the actual energy consumption of the secondary side District Heating System (DHS) with different hot water supply temperature control methods is compared. The two methods are Outdoor Temperature Reset Control and Outdoor Temperature Predictive Control. While Outdoor Temperature Reset Control has been widely used for energy savings of the secondary side system, the results show that the Outdoor Temperature Predictive Control method saves more energy. In general, the Outdoor Temperature Predictive Control method lowers the supply temperature of hot water, and it reduces standby losses and increases the overall heat transfer value of heated spaces due to more flow into the space. During actual energy consumption monitoring, the Outdoor Temperature predictive Control method saves about 6.6% of energy when compared to the Outdoor Temperature Reset Control method. Also, it is found that at partial load condition, such as during daytime, the fluctuation of hot water supply temperature with Outdoor Temperature Reset Control is more severe than that with Outdoor Temperature Predictive Control. Thus, it proves that Outdoor Temperature Predictive Control is more stable even at partial load conditions.
