With the shift of the energy paradigm from supply side management to demand side management, demand resource management and demand response plays an important role in the energy industry. As a consequency, a lot of researches have been done to provide a suitable demand response system. However, most of the demand response systems are based on the propriety products that cannot be modified. In this paper, we are proposing an automated demand response system using an EnerNOC provided open source code. We implemented the demand response server (VTN) and demand response client (VEN), and validated the OpenADR2.0 compliances using the open source code. We also used an Arduino microcontoller to demonstrate the communication schemes to control various devices.

The wind-induced dynamic response of large-span flexible structures includes two important components-background response and resonant response. However, it is difficult to separate the two components in time-domain. To solve the problem, a relational expression of wavelet packet coefficients and power spectrum is derived based on the principles of digital signal processing and the theories of wavelet packet analysis. Further, a new approach is proposed for separation of the background response from the resonant response. Then a numerical example of frequency detection is provided to test the accuracy and the spectral resolution of the proposed approach. In the engineering example, the approach is applied to compute the power spectra of the wind-induced response of a large-span roof structure, and the accuracy of spectral estimation for stochastic signals is verified. The numerical results indicate that the proposed approach is efficient and accurate with high spectral resolution, so it is applicable for power spectral computation of various response signals of structures induced by the wind. Moreover, the background and the resonant response time histories are separated successfully using the proposed approach, which is sufficiently proved by detailed verifications. Therefore, the proposed approach is a powerful tool for the verification of the existing frequency-domain formulations.

In general, the design response spectrum in seismic design codes is based on the mean-plus-one-standard deviation response spectrum to secure high safety. In this study, response spectrum analysis was performed using seismic wave records adopted in domestic horizontal design spectrum development studies, while three response spectra were calculated by combining the mean and standard deviation of the spectra. Seismic wave spectral matching generated seismic wave sets matching each response spectrum. Then, seismic fragility was performed by setting three damage levels using a single-degree-of-freedom system. A correlation analysis was performed using a comparative analysis of the change in the response spectrum and the seismic fragility concerning the three response spectra. Finally, in the case of the response spectrum considering the mean and standard deviation, like the design response spectrum, the earthquake load was relatively high, indicating that conservative design or high safety can be secured.

This paper uses response surface methodology as the optimization method of torque of multi-DOF deflection type PM motor. Firstly, the application of Taguchi algorithm selects structural parameters affecting the motor torque largely which simplifies the optimization process greatly. Then, based on the central composite design (CCD), response surface equation numerical model is constructed by the finite element method. With the aid of experiment design and analysis software, the effects of the interaction among factors on the index are analyzed. The results show that the analytical method is efficient and reliable and the experimental results can be predicted by response surface functions.

Purpose: To develop efficient PL response system, SMEs should decide which component of PL response system is important and implemented with priority under limited resources. To accomplish this goal, we propose strategic priority components of PL response system for SME manufacturer. Methods: We categorize the components of PL response system based on prior research results - System, Organization, Training, Technology, Cost, and Awareness. AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) is applied to extract important components of PL response system, which is used in assigning the priority of component. To analyze effects of each components, performance sensitivity analysis is applied. Results: The survey analysis results show Technology is the most important components. Organization and Cost component are follows. As the importance of Technology is changed, we can find Organization, Cost is second and third important components. Conclusion: Our research shows Technology which is related to make a safe product with systematic process, is a basic enabler of PL response system. Also, building a PL team and securing a budget for PL activity should be carry out with limited resources.

We have studied the fringe field switching (FFS) mode with the positive dielectric anisotropy for the fast response time. The factors such as the physical properties of the LC, the cell gap, and the rubbing angle were critical for the fast response time of the FFS mode. The response time became 10 ms faster when the rotational viscosity of the new LC is 20 mPa.s lower than the conventional LC. When the cell gap changed from 3.6 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 3.0 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, it was possible to achieve the total response time and response times associated with grey-to-grey transitions under 16 ms. And the response times including grey-to-grey transitions become fast as the rubbing angle decreases.

H₂S is a toxic and harmful gas, even at concentrations as low as hundreds of parts per million; thus, developing an H₂S sensor with excellent performance in terms of high response, good selectivity, and fast response time is important. In this study, an H₂S sensor with a high response and fast response time, consisting of a sensing material (SnO₂), an electrode, a temperature sensor, and a micro-heater, was developed using micro-electro-mechanical system technology. The developed H₂S sensor with a micro-heater (circular type) has excellent H₂S detection performance at low H₂S concentrations (0-10 ppm), with quick response time (<16 s) and recovery time (<65 s). Therefore, we expect that the developed H₂S sensor will be considered a promising candidate for protecting workers and the general population and for responding to tightened regulations.

This paper presents results of frequency domain spectroscopy (FDS) measurements on oil-impregnated pressboard insulation, their analyses and use of the data for modeling high frequency response (FRA) of transformers. The dielectric responses were measured in a broad frequency range, i.e. from 0.1 mHz to 1 MHz, on model samples containing different amount of moisture. The responses were parameterized with terms representing dc conductivity, low frequency dispersion and Cole-Cole polarization mechanisms and they were thereafter used to model the FRA response of a three-phase transformer.

We study on the transient response in non-uniform microstrip lines with optically controlled microwave pulses. The transient response of the microwave pulses in plasma layer has been evaluated by reflection function of dielectric microstrip lines. The variation of characteristic response in plasma layer with localized pulses has been evaluated analytically. Reflection the change of the reflection amplitude has been observed.
