Electric cart, one of the many devices created to aid golfers, combines software and wireless technology with over 200 different parts and computers. It is designed to be controlled remotely and can be started or stopped using a remote control while on the golf course. However, one recurring issue is the frequent derailment of the electric cart during operation. This problem not only hampers game performance but also causes delays as drivers lose focus. The objective of this study is to enhance the driving system of autonomous electric carts, which are controlled by the driver's signals, in order to address the issue of derailments. These autonomous carts follow a line tracer on the course. By examining the evolution of golf carts and the safety enhancements implemented in current models, we propose to supplement the autonomous driving system to increase safety and improve the performance of these electric carts.

Due to the fast growing rate of the global container trade, every major port is under the pressure of meeting the projected capacity demand. As a result, alternative solutions have been sought for improving capacity and meeting the growing demand for container storage area and terminal capacity. Moreover, material handling process re-engineering is now a critical issue for logistics and supply chain managers of airline, shipping lines, terminal and warehousing enterprises around the world. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to develop the 3D simulator for executing performance valuation of port transportation systems. The developed 3D simulator system is to measure the effectiveness of the proposed total system and compare it with existing practices. The performance analysis variables are also defined for these comparisons

In this paper, we propose a simultaneous multithreading (SMT) architecture that improves instruction throughput by exploiting instruction level parallelism (ILP) and thread level parallelism (TLP). The proposed architecture issues and completes instructions belonging to the same thread in exact program order. The issue and completion policy greatly reduces the design complexity and hardware cost of our architecture, compared with others that employ out-of-order issue and completion. On the other hand, when the instructions belong to different threads, the issue and completion orders for those instructions may not necessarily be identical to the fetch order. The processor issues instructions simultaneously from multiple threads to functional units by exploiting ILP and TLP, and by dynamic resource sharing. That parallel execution notably improves performance and resource utilization with minimal additional hardware cost over the conventional superscalar processors. This paper proposes an SMT architecture with grouping as well as one without grouping. Without grouping, all threads dynamically and flexibly share most resources. On the other hand, in the SMT architecture with grouping, in which resources and threads are divided into several groups for design simplification, resources are shared only among threads belonging to the same group as those resources. Simulation results show that our processors with four and eight threads improve performance by three or more times over the conventional superscalar processor with comparable execution resources and policies, and that reasonable grouping reduces the design complexity of SMT processors with little negative effect on performance.

In resent years, electric power quality has become an important issue in power system. Voltage variation and compensation countermeasures of KEPCO system in west Gyeongnam have been simulated using PSS/E. In this paper, in the abnormal power system, the adaption of SVC, high speed and continuous control are simulated for voltage compensation. It is shown that the SVC is the optimal voltage compensation method in loop power system or 2 lines radial system.

Battery cells are connected in parallel to enlarge the system capacity. However, cell inconsistency may reduce the overall system capacity and cause the over-charging or over-discharging issue. This paper proposes a SOC-based sequencing equalizer for parallel-connected battery configuration that uses the ANFIS (adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system) algorithm to make the switching decision. Depend on the load current and the SOC (state-of-charge) rate of cells, the switching decision is made to equalize the SOC of the battery cells. The simulation results show that the system capacity is maximized and the controller is adaptive for a large number of parallel-connected in dynamic load profile.

Successful operation of power systems under the deregulated electricity market depends on the management of the transmission system reliability. Quantitative evaluation of the transmission system reliability is an important issue. Particularly, the nodal reliability indices can be of value in the management and control of congestion and reliability of the transmission system under the deregulated electricity market. In this study, a method developed for the reliability evaluation of the transmission system is presented. The Monte Carlo methods are used because of their flexibility when complex operating conditions are being considered. The usefulness and effectiveness of the proposed method are illustrated by a case study with the KEPCO system.

Today, energy problem has become an important issue, and a development of renewable energy is urgent. In architectural fields, a research of the energy efficient lighting system using renewable energy is in progress. The energy efficient lighting system could be realized by integrating a daylight responsive LED lighting control system and a blind PV system. This system is able to save and generate electric energy. Efficiency of this system depends on control methods of blind PV. As a preliminary research, this research analyzed power generation and inflow of available daylight according to control method of blind PV.

The major concern of networked control system is network uncertainties such as time delay and data loss. Because these uncertainties may degrade the performance of networked control system and destabilize the entire system. Therefore, the performance and the stability variation of networked control system due to network uncertainties must be considered first in designing networked control system. In particular, the stability analysis of networked control system is most important issue since time delay and data loss can make the overall systems unstable. In this paper, we present a new stability analysis method of networked control system with time delay and data loss, which is impossible in previous works. The proposed method can determine maximum time delay and allowable transmission rate that preserve stability performance of networked control system. The results of the simulation validate effectiveness of our stability analysis method.

Owing to the consistent increase in accurate analysis issue for energy consumption of the AC electric railway systems, there is controversy about the adequacy of the present watt-hour metering configuration. Due to the unusual load characteristics and facilities, the discussions have not been active. Therefore, in order to achieve more accurate watt-hour metering for AC electric railway system, this paper proposes numerical formulas for watt-hour metering that reflects the highly-varying characteristics of the railway load and the structural characteristics of the Scott transformer. The proposed formulas have been verified by comparison with site-measured data, and a more suitable metering configuration for AC railway system has been proposed.

This paper presents a unified model based assessment framework to quantify threats and vulnerabilities associated with control systems, especially in the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system. In the past, this system was primarily utilized as an isolated facility on a local basis, and then it started to be integrated with wide-area networks as the communication technology would make rapid progress. The introduction of smart grid, which is an innovative application of digital processing and communications to the power grid, might lead to more and more cyber threats originated from IT systems. However, an up-to-date power system often requires the real-time operations, which clearly implies that the cyber security would turn out to be a complicated but also crucial issue for the power system. In short, the purpose of this paper is to streamline a comprehensive approach to prioritizing cyber security risks which are expressed by the combination of threats, vulnerabilities, and values in the SCADA components.
