This paper proposes the method of active distribution network expansion planning considering distributed generation integration and distribution network reconfiguration. The distribution network reconfiguration is taken as the expansion planning alternative with zero investment cost of the branches. During the process of the reconfiguration in expansion planning, all the branches are taken as the alternative branches. The objective is to minimize the total costs of the distribution network in the planning period. The expansion alternatives such as active management, new lines, new substations, substation expansion and Distributed Generation (DG) installation are considered. Distribution network reconfiguration is a complex mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem, with integration of DGs and active managements, the active distribution network expansion planning considering distribution network reconfiguration becomes much more complex. This paper converts the dual-level expansion model to Second-Order Cone Programming (SOCP) model, which can be solved with commercial solver GUROBI. The proposed model and method are tested on the modified IEEE 33-bus system and Portugal 54-bus system.

In this paper, a detuning factor (DeFac) method is proposed to design the key parameters for optimizing the transfer power and efficiency of an Inductively Coupled Power Transfer (ICPT) system with primary-secondary side compensation. Depending on the robustness of the system, the DeFac method can guarantee the stability of the transfer power and efficiency of an ICPT system within a certain range of resistive-capacitive or resistive-inductive loads. A MATLAB-Simulink model of a ICPT system was built to assess the system's main evaluation criteria, namely its maximum power ratio (PR) and efficiency, in terms of different approaches. In addition, a magnetic field simulation model was built using Ansoft to specify the leakage flux and current density. Simulation results show that both the maximum PR and efficiency of the ICPT system can reach almost 70% despite the severe detuning imposed by the DeFac method. The system also exhibited low levels of leakage flux and a high current density. Experimental results confirmed the validity and feasibility of an ICPT system using DeFac-designed parameters.

The plastic hinge method and the plastic zone method are extensively adopted in displacement-based elements and force-based elements respectively for second-order inelastic analysis. The former enhances the computational efficiency with relatively less accurate results while the latter precisely predicts the structural behavior but generally requires more computer time. The displacement-based elements receive criticism mainly on plasticity dominated problems not only in accuracy but also in longer computer time to redistribute the forces due to formation of plastic hinges. The multi-element-per-member model relieves this problem to some extent but will induce a new problem in modeling of member initial imperfections required in design codes for direct analysis. On the contrary, a force-based element with several integration points is sufficient for material yielding. However, use of more integration points or elements associated with fiber section reduces computational efficiency. In this paper, a new force-based element equipped with stress-resultant plasticity model with minimal computational cost is proposed for second-order inelastic analysis. This element is able to take the member initial bowing into account such that one-element-per-member model is adequate and complied with the codified requirements of direct analysis. This innovative solution is new and practical for routine design. Finally, several examples demonstrate the validity and accuracy of the proposed method.

Panel data sets have recently been developed in various areas, and many recent studies have analyzed panel, or longitudinal data sets. Often a dichotomous dependent variable occur in survival analysis, biomedical and epidemiological studies that is analyzed by a generalized linear mixed effects model (GLMM). The most common estimation method for the binary panel data may be the maximum likelihood (ML). Many statistical packages provide ML estimates; however, the estimates are computed from numerically approximated likelihood function. For instance, R packages, pglm (Croissant, 2017) approximate the likelihood function by the Gauss-Hermite quadratures, while Rchoice (Sarrias, Journal of Statistical Software, 74, 1-31, 2016) use a Monte Carlo integration method for the approximation. As a result, it can be observed that different packages give different results because of different numerical computation methods. In this note, we discuss the pros and cons of numerical methods compared with the exact computation method.

This paper describes a new modeling method for the prediction of transmembrane protein topology. The structural regions of the transmembrane protein have been modeled by means of a multiple state hidden Markov model that has provided for the detailed modeling of the heterogeneous amino acid distributions of each structural region. Grammatical constraints have been incorporated to the prediction method in order to capture the biological order of membrane protein topology. The proposed method correctly predicted 76% of all membrane spanning regions and 92% sidedness of the integration when all membrane spanning regions were found correctly.

Multi-regional water supply system, which installed for supplying multiple water demands, is characterized by large-sized, long-distance, tree-type layout. This system is vulnerable to long-standing service interruption when a pipe breaks is occurred. In this study, a numerical method is proposed to calculate drainage time that directly affects time of service interruption. To begin with, governing equations are formulated to embed the delayed drainage effect by the friction loss, and to resolve complicated connection of pipelines, which are derived from the continuity and energy equations. The nonlinear hydraulic equations are solved by using explicit time integration method and the Newton-Raphson method. The developed model is verified by comparing the result with analytical solution. Furthermore, the model's applicability is validated by the examples of pipelines in serial, in parallel, and complex layout. Finally, the model is utilized to suggest an appropriate actions to reduce the deviation of draining time in the C transmission line of the B multi-regional water supply system.

Space Syntax에서 개별링크의 통합도가 크면 네트워크에서 접근이 편리함을 나타낸다. 보행자가 통합도가 높은 링크들의 연결성을 경험하도록 보행로를 설계하거나 집적도가 높은 토지이용을 유도하는 것이 타당하다. 보행자 통행배정모형은 보행수요(보행자)의 불편도(통행거리 및 시간) 등을 최소화하는 경로선택을 반영한다. 이는 보행자의 불편을 최소화하는 실제 통행패턴을 제시한다. 본 연구는 Space Syntax와 보행자 통행배정모형을 통합하는 방안을 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 인천시 부평역을 대상으로 통합모형의 유효성을 검증하는 실증분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 부평역 주변은 통합도가 매우 높게 나타나나 보행전용구역인 역 북부지역은 상대적으로 통합도가 낮게 나타났다. 모형의 구조는 통합도가 높은 지역에 실제 이동수요를 반영하여 통합도가 적합하게 유지되는지 설명이 가능하다. 통합모형은 Space Syntax의 네트워크에 대한 가시거리를 나타내는 축선도와 건물과 도로로 구획된 링크를 결합하는 방식과 보행자 통행배정모형의 기종점의 유사경로를 파악하여 균일 배정하는 방안을 도입한다. 제안된 모형은 보행개선지역 및 사업의 사전/사후평가 등에 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구는 combined integration/matrix method에 의해 다양한 접지 시스템의 특성을 모의할 수 있는 수치 해석 기법에 관한 연구이다. Combined integration/matrix method는 접지 시스템을 일정한 길이의 요소로 분할하여 미리 적분을 한 후 적분된 길이 요소 기법에 대해 matrix method를 사용하는 방법으로 연산 시간 및 해석시 에러 발생을 줄일 수 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 수치 해석시 분할 요소 길이에 대한 오차 분석을 통해 최적의 요소길이 산정 방법을 제시하였으며 이를 통해 실규모 접지 시스템의 다양한 형태의 접지 시스템의 성능 분석이 가능하도록 하였다. 오차 분석을 토대로 접지 전극의 길이와 매설 깊이에 따라 적절하게 요소의 길이를 도출한 결과 분할하고자 하는 요소의 길이는 매설 깊이와 접지 도체의 길이에 주요한 상관 관계가 있음을 알 수 있었으며 본 연구에서 제시한 수치 해석 모델링 방법에 따라 3 % 이내의 해석 정확도를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한, 이를 다중 접지계 해석에 적용하여 현재 산업 플랜트 접지 방식에서 가장 논란이 되고 있는 전원 접지계와 신호/통신 접지계의 공통 접지 및 분리 접지의 영향 평가 등에 활용될 수 있음을 보여주었다.

As an application of the GPS/SDINS integration for its synergistic results, the alignments of the SDINS utilizing GPS carrier phase rate measurements is introduced. A measurement model of GPS carrier phase rate, which does not require integer ambiguity determination process, is newly derived in order to be adopted with the SDINS in-flight alignment process. For in-flight alignment, the performance of the GPS/SDINS integration method suggested in this paper is analyzed using the covariance analysis.
