  • Phase angle in grid-connected inverter is important information for current control. When different loads are connected to PCC(Point of Common Coupling) of grid, distorted grid voltage is taken place by load utility generating distorted current. Especially, in case the grid voltage is distorted by low order frequency such as $3^{rd}$, $5^{th}$ harmonic, phase angle of PLL output is distorted. This paper analyze problem of current THD(Total Harmonic Distortion) due to distorted phase angle by distorted grid voltage, and propose control method compensating this problem. Also, it‘s validity is verified by simulation and experiment.

  • This paper proposes an exercise recommendation system for treating obesity that provides systematic recommendations for exercise and diet. Five body indices are considered as indicators for recommend exercise and diet. The system also informs users of prohibited foods using health data including blood pressure, blood sugar, and total cholesterol. To maximize the utility of the system, it displays recommendations for both indoor and outdoor activities. The system is equipped with multimode sensors, including a three-axis accelerometer, a laser, a pressure sensor, and a wrist-mounted sensor. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the system, field tests are carried out with three participants over 20 days, which show that the proposed system is effective in treating obesity.

  • The main purpose of this paper is to estimate environmental preference of advanced countries for water and air pollution. In doing so, we introduce home production. That is, we assume that pollution has not only negative effect on utility but also positive effect on production. Thus if the former is greater that the latter effect, the total effect of pollution is negative. In this paper, we investigated this effect of advanced countries by using GMM estimator. The main finding is that in case of air pollution. This effect is negative. This implies that in case of air pollution, the disutility effect is greater that productivity effect.

  • CDMA/TOD with asymmetric capacity allocation between uplink and downlink is a highly attractive solution to support the next generation mobile systems. This is because flexible asymmetric allocation of capacity to uplink and downlink usually improves the utilization of the limited bandwidth. In this paper, we mathematically formulate an optimal timeslot and code allocation problem, which is to maximize the total utility considering the numbers of codes(channels) allocated to each data class and the forced terminations of previously allocated codes. We also suggest a real-time integrated timeslot and code allocation scheme using Lagrangean relaxation and subgradient optimization techniques. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme provides high-quality solutions in a fast time.

  • We consider a facility layout problem for optimized material flow system design in the automated production system design. Existing facility layout algorithm have a weak point that arranged facilities have irregular shape or don't preserve their own shape and size. The proposed algorithm give a layout which is minimize total material handling cost and maximize space utility under preserving each facilities' own shape and size.

  • Recently, due to increasing the application of power electronic equipment, harmonics generated from the non-liner load are fairly produced. Harmonics can cause a variety of problems such as the overheating of distribution transformer, the breakdown of device and communication interference. Interest about power quality decline of power system is very increased. In this paper, we are measured the harmonic voltage and current o( power system to analyze harmonic characteristics, and it is analyzed Total Harmonic Distortion(THD). Also, we Ere modeled power system using PSCAD/EMTDC. And it is analyzed harmonic voltage and current in steady-state. The study results have been indicated the utility about harmonics analysis and modelling for power system.

  • This paper approaches a methodology for deciding the optimal reliability criteria for an optimal composite power system expansion planning considering generation and transmission systems simultaneously. A probabilisticreliability criterion, $LOLE_R$(Loss of Load Expectation), is used in this study. The optimalreliability criterion $LOLE_R*$ is decided at minimum cost point of total cost curve which is the sum of the utility cost associated with construction cost and the customer outage cost associated with supply interruptions for load considering forced outage rates of elements(generators and lines) in long term forecasting. The characteristicsand effectiveness of this methodology are illustrated by the case study using MRBTS size system.

  • Telecom supplies need to conform to low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and high Power Factor (PF) as per IEC 61000-3-2 and IEEE 519-1992 standards. These high rating power supplies use a three phase utility in which low THD and high PF are realized via various passive and active wave shaping schemes. In this paper, a new design for three phase telecom power supplies is presented with circuit parameter values optimized for high performance in terms of a low THD, high PF, low ripple and high line and load regulation using a suitable combination of various strategies. The performance of the power supply is validated by extensive simulations.

  • The demand for the high quality of utility electrical power has been increasing rapidly in recent years because of today's electrical energy dependent industries and most people's everyday lives based on computer systems. However, electrical power supply conditions to meet this high quality demand becomes more difficult and more due to a large portion of nuclear power plants output in total electrical power supply which normally do not respond to frequency variations, and high peak of air conditioner demands during the summer season. So the rest of power plants should be operated to show the best governor regulation performance to maintain the electrical power frequency quality.
