In this paper, the performance of an energy conversion system is analyzed using two efficiency concepts, one of conventional and the other of energetic efficiently. The objective of this analysis was to improve and optimize the energy conversion system in point, namely, and LNG-fired Combined Heat and Power Plant (CHP). To this end, energies which represent the true efficiency figures were evaluated for various flows of the system with a set of system configurations given. Then the economic values of the energies were assigned to respective flows and subsystems. With these economic data locations of inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement are identified.

Due to the advantages of fast read/write operation and low power consumption, SSD(Solid State Drive) is now widely adopted as storage device of smart phone, laptop computer, server, etc. However, the shortcomings of SSD such as limited number of write operations and asymmetric read/write operation lead to the problem of shortened life span of SSD. Therefore, the block replacement policy of SSD used as cache for HDD is very important. The existing solutions for improving the lifespan of SSD including the LARC scheme typically employ the LRU algorithm to manage the SSD blocks, which may increase the miss rate in SSD due to the replacement of frequently used block instead of rarely used block. In this paper we propose a novel block replacement scheme which considers the block reuse interval to effectively handle various data read/write patterns. The proposed scheme replaces the block in SSD based on the recency decided by reuse interval and age along with hit ratio. Computer simulation using workload trace files reveals that the proposed scheme consistently improves the performance and lifespan of SSD by increasing the hit ratio and decreasing the number of write operations compared to the existing schemes including LARC.

In this paper, we develop a facility management system which provides fault effect and replacement alarm function of each component for supporting effective maintenance of facility. To do this, we use weighting method to each component, calculate importance of each component, and make them to hierarchy structure using bill of materials of facility. Also, we draw fault cause and fault effect of components based on failure modes effects and criticality analysis, and define criteria of severity, occurrence and detection to get risk priority number. To apply these concepts, we develop and test the facility management system to verify its practicality. In the future, we expect the developed system to apply many domains such as maintenance of ship and offshore plant.

The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is one of the most precious inventions of Internet of things (IOT). UAV faces the necessity to charge battery or replace battery from the charging stations during or between services. We propose scheduling algorithms for drone power charging (SADPC). The basic idea of algorithm is considering both a deadline (for increasing deadline miss ratio) and a charging time (for decreasing waiting time) to decide priority on charging station among drones. Our simulation results show that our power charging algorithm for drones are efficient in terms of the deadline miss ratio as well as the waiting time in general in compare to other conventional algorithms (EDF or SJF). Also, we can choose proper algorithms for battery charge scheduling and charge ready battery allocation according to system parameters and user requirements based on our simulation.

상수도관은 시간이 경과됨에 따라 노후화가 진행되고 탁수 및 적수문제를 일으킬 가능성이 높아진다. 현재 우리나라는 전체 상수도관 중 경과년수를 초과한 노후 상수도관이 많은 부분을 차지하고 있기 때문에 개선이 시급한 실정이다. 하지만 전체 상수도관을 교체하는 것은 막대한 예산이 필요하기 때문에 현실적으로 어려운 문제이므로 상수도관의 적수 및 탁수 위험도 분석을 통하여 상수도관의 교체 또는 개량 우선순위를 결정하고 개선사업을 실시하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 적수 및 탁수발생을 일으키는 인자들을 도출하였다. 먼저, 박리위험도와 퇴적위험도로 분류하여 적수와 탁수의 발생 위험도를 분석하였다. 퇴적위험도의 인자에는 평균유속지수, 정체지수, 관경지수, 경과년지수, 그리고 관길이지수를 적용하였고 박리위험도의 인자에는 유속차이지수, 유향변화지수, 영향범위지수, 관길이지수, 그리고 수충격지수를 적용하여 위험도분석을 수행하였다. 적용 지역은 인구 85만명의 중도시이며 4개동에 걸쳐서 위험도분석을 진행하였고 퇴적위험도가 높은 관과 박리위험도가 높은 관을 선정할 수 있었다. 또한 결과분석을 통해 박리위험도와 퇴적위험도 모두 높은 관을 선정할 수 있었다. 박리위험도와 퇴적위험도의 인자들 중에서 유속 관련지수의 경우 박리위험도에서는 유속이 빠를수록 위험도가 높고 퇴적위험도에서는 느릴수록 위험도가 높기 때문에 박리와 퇴적위험도가 모두 높다는 것은 수질문제를 일으킬 가능성이 매우 높은 관으로 판단할 수 있다. 같은 지역(동)에서 박리위험도와 퇴적위험도를 분석한 결과, 최근 개발된 경관년수가 오래되지 않은 지역의 경우는 박리위험도와 퇴적위험도의 최대값과 최소값의 차이가 3배 정도 되는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 경과년수가 오래된 지역의 경우는 박리위험도의 경우, 가장 높은 관의 박리위험도가 가장 낮은 위험도와 7배 이상이 차이가 났고 퇴적위험도의 경우 약 10배 이상 차이가 나는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 경과년수에 의한 차이뿐만 아니라 인구감소나 인구고령화로 인해 낮 시간 수도사용량이 매주 적어서 발생하는 것으로 판단된다. 향후 본 연구결과를 적용하여 상수도의 적수 및 탁수 발생 위험도가 높은 관로를 선정하고 이에 대한 집중적인 관리감독을 진행한다면 상수도 수질문제로 인한 민원을 대폭 줄일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Intelligent distribution automation system includes operating a switchgear of distribution system remotely when switchgear are not available to operate quickly. This system makes it possible to reduce the interrupt time. It also aims to improve the reliability of customers. Currently, Intelligent distribution automation improves the reliability by replacing manual switchgear, which is installed as sectional switchgear. However the prioritization of the replacement for the switchgear is required for its intellectualization. Many studies have been conducted related with prioritization of switchgear replacement. But it is difficult to interpret and apply to the power distribution system. That is because most of the studies just considers customer numbers for prioritizing the replacement. In this paper presents an algorithm to determine the intelligent swichgear replacement priority considering customer number, load quantity and interruption cost. Further, this algorithm is verified by using system reliability index.

Rapid industrialization and urbanization have resulted in an increase in impervious areas and an increase in runoff, therefore, this causes more flooding and damage in urban areas. This study has analyzed the effects of improvements to the roughness coefficient in storm sewer pipes on flood runoff and outflow through rainfall-runoff simulations. The simulations are implemented by three scenarios to evaluate effects of improvements to the roughness coefficient for the improved length ratio to the total length, diameters and mainlines of sewer pipes. The size and length of the sewer mains are large and long to effectively increase the flow rate to the outlet, secure the passage discharge capacity of the pipe and reduce the overflow. It is effective for flood reduction that the improvement to roughness coefficient is first conducted in mainlines with longer lengths and larger diameters. The results from this study can provide a guideline for prioritizing of the sewer pipe replacement.

In the domestic aluminum industry, the extrusion process is a major process accounting for more than 40% of the total production. However, most domestic aluminum extrusion companies produce aluminum using old equipment that is more than 30 years old. Extrusion press is when the equipment is not replaced before the wear and breakage of major parts occur, reducing productivity and increasing the defect rate compared to new equipment. The old extrusion press often loses part drawings, so it is difficult to repair them properly on-site and to remanufacture them due to the lack of technical skills for maintenance. Therefore, a systematic remanufacturing plan must be designed from dismantling the equipment. In this study, remanufacturing FMEA was devised to remanufacture old extrusion press. The risk priority was analyzed by considering the degree of damage to the recycled parts, the cycle due to breakage/damage during the extrusion process, and the value of recycling resources due to remanufacturing. To standardize the remanufacturing process, remanufactured FMEA was performed through part analysis according to the structural analysis of the extrusion press. In addition, remanufacturing priorities were selected for each part, while remanufacturing itself was studied for efficiency of resource circulation and product quality stabilization.

This study aims to explore and analyze smartphone users' characteristics from the two perspectives (purchase vs. use characteristics) on the two operating systems (iOS and Android). The results of the study on purchase characteristics show that smartphones choice priority and the gender ratio are found to be significantly different between the two operating system users. However, the replacement cycle is not statistically different from iOS and Android users. The results of study on use characteristics show that the number of the applications and the registered SNS(social network service), the average monthly smartphone bill, and satisfaction are significantly different between iOS and Android users. However, the average Internet usage time is not different between the two operating system users. The findings provide useful implications for operating developers, smartphone manufacturers, and application developers.
