  • The larger and the more complicated the system size and configuration grow, the more serious the system loss problem becomes. Exessive system loss causes severs system voltage depression, which even may result in system voltage collapse. This paper proposes an effective tool for minimizing the system power loss by optimal re-location of the static condenser based on the system loss sensitivity index .lambda.$_{Q}$. It is possible to determine the optimal location and amount of VAR investment for minimizing the system loss by priority of .lambda.$_{Q}$ index given for each bus. Several computational techniques for avoiding divergency of the load flow solution are proposed. The loss sensitivity index .lambda.$_{Q}$ uses information of normal power flow equations and their Jacobians. Two case studies proved the effectiveness of the algorithm proposed.posed.

  • The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficiency by the Life Cycle Cost(LCC) analysis of floor covering materials for remodeling. This study has been performed as a case study. The LCC analysis is a technique which takes account into both initial-future costs and benefits of an investment over some period of time. LCC is important in commercial decision making because it provides improved assessment of the living-term cost effectiveness of construction projects as well as alternative economic methods that focus on initial costs. For LCC analysis and comparison, the present value technique is used. The results of this study are summarized as follows; (1) A LCC analysis model of floor covering materials is suggested through a case study (2) As a result of LCC case study, the type of sheet is analysed more economical than that of tile in floor covering materials.

  • Multi-functional voltage source inverters (VSIs) have attracted increasing attention in recent years for their advantageous auxiliary services for power quality enhancement in autonomous microgrids. These types of VSIs can not only achieve a proper control scheme in autonomous mode but also cope with the prescribed power quality and stability requirements. These functionalities are integrated within the same device, thereby significantly improving the cost-effectiveness of microgrids while decreasing the investment and bulk compared with those of multiple devices with independent functionalities. Control strategies for power quality enhancement in autonomous microgrids using multi-functional VSIs are comprehensively reviewed in this paper. In addition, such VSIs are discussed in detail, and comparisons of which are also provided. Lastly, a number of future research directions for multi-functional VSIs are recommended.

  • This paper examines the relationship between the stock and futures markets in terms of lead-lag relationship, correlation and the hedge ratio using wavelet analysis. The basic finding is that the relationship between the two markets significantly depends on the time-scale. First, there is a feedback relationship between the stock and futures markets in the long-run scale; however, weaker evidence is observed in shorter-run scales. Second, wavelet correlation between the two markets increases for a longer time scale. Third, the hedge ratio and the effectiveness of hedging strategies increase as the investment horizon gets longer. The results in this paper indicate that the stock and futures series are perfectly correlated in the long run and are tied together over long horizons.

  • This paper deals with the analytical approach for the reliability assessment in radially operated distribution systems. The approach can estimate the expected reliability performance of distribution systems by a direct assessment of the configuration of the systems using the reliability indexes such as NDP(Non-Delivery Power) and NDE(Non-Delivery Energy). The indexes can consider the number and configuration of the load, but can not consider the characteristics of the load which is the one of the most important factor in the investment cost for the distribution systems. Therefore, This paper presents the new indexes considering the expected interruption cost for the load section and shows the effectiveness by simulating at the model systems.

  • Investment in FA facilities has been accerelated since 1986, turning point by labor strife in Korea firms. Most commonly adopted automation tech, in their manufacturing process consists of NC. Robotics, PLC, CAD/CAM now on and further confused system oriented FMS, CIM, etcs. undergoing. But for all their remarkable notices in manufacturing systems, The competitive position on product cost, quality, shorten delivery and profit has never been recovered in global swing market. To make some empirical suggestions with a view to competitive strategy of Korea firms by FA, to the conclusion largely FA tech. adoption can be justified only when its application on new product productions and improved the structure of products comparatively. Because of when it was applied in old production process. The effectiveness is very doubtful to the lacks of consistent and integrate manufacturing policy with the strategy of the fim and their poor standardization level in shop floors.

  • In this study, an attempt was made to propose the establishment of an integrated platform for utilizing research results as one of the measures that can increase the effectiveness of using research results compared to research investment. To this end, the study endeavored to compare and analyze the information services provided by domestic websites and platforms that provide information on the results of national R&D projects. Based on the analysis results, the derived performance utilization platform service direction and performance utilization plan are: 1) establishment of a performance integration platform that integrates the performance information, 2) specification of service users and provision of consumer-oriented services, 3) metadata for linkage of integrated information Standardization, 4) expansion of customized services using the latest technology, and 5) reinforcement of performance data-based analysis services. This study conducted an analysis of literature and about 20 domestic and foreign research performance information providing sites. In future research, there is a need to integrate a unified platform and further analyzed its performance.

  • Recently, the construction companies are forced to cut down the investment amount due to increasing financial problems caused by severe recession and restructuring in the financial market as well as the long-term depression of the construction industry. To overcome this type of problems, a great many efforts have been made. An alternative may be adopting the advanced financing methods. However, during the course of enforcing process of the financing methods, many problems are revealed without any proper solutions being proposed. Therefore, the fundamental problems need to be solved through comprehensive and systematic approach under the changing environment of construction financing. In this paper, as a result of reviewing some financing methods such as ABS, REITS, and Project Financing, multiple business strategies for construction companies to cope with the changing construction market are found in the sense of effectiveness in implementing construction projects. Further, this paper presents diversified financing methods for the effective practice of construction projects through combination of above mentioned methods, and also proposes improvement plans to strengthen the financing function for the construction industry.

  • Most of designers use applied software of computer programs instead of traditional tools such as brushes, poster colors, etc. for drawing and designing. For example applied software programs for design are applied the workings printing, presentation, movie, animation, character design as well as industrial design. Especially, quality of applied software programs in the field of visual communication design influence on the design results in future. Therefore, many college attempt to invest budget to inhrence the quality of software program in design education. However, effectiveness of investment is lowered due to the professional lack of software knowledge. This study tries to explore how the investment for software program in visual communication design becomes more effective, and to suggest how the order of software program, design curriculum through the affective computer usage in design education will be more useful than now. By comparing and contrasting the different cases in the computer environments of the colleges, this study was processing, the result of this study will contribute to the design education of visual communication.
