A smart grid is the next generation power grid which combines the existing power grid with information technology, so an energy efficient power grid can be provided. In this paper, in order to build an efficient smart grid an AMI system, which gears with the existing home network and provides an user friendly management function, is proposed. The proposed AMI system, which is based on an extended home network, consists of various functional units; smart meters, communication modules, home gateway, security modules, meter data management modules (MDMM), electric power application modules and so on. The proposed home network system, which can reduce electric power consumption and transmit data more effectively, is designed by using IEEE 802.15.4. The extended home gateway can exchange energy consumption information with the outside management system via web services. The proposed AMI system is designed to enable two-way communication between the home gateway and MDMM via the Internet. The AES(Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm, which is a symmetric block cipher algorithm, is used to ensure secure information exchange. Even though the results in this study could be limited to our experimental environment, the result of the simulation test shows that the proposed system reduces electric power consumption by 4~42% on average compared to the case of using no control.

This paper tries to solve the problems which previous methods have such as the WCDRM(Watermark and Cryptography DRM) and the model using smart card for protecting digital contents. This study provides a contents distribution model to protect the rights of author, distributor, and user as well as user's information by using technologies such as cryptography, DRM(Digital Right Management), access control, etc. The proposed system is evaluated as the most safety model compared with previous methods because it not only solves the problems which the previous methods have, but also protects four type of risks such as use of contents which other mobile devices download, the attack on the key to decode the message, the attack on leaking the contents, and the internal attack such as an illegal reproduction.

ZigBee is a wireless sensor network protocol recognized as a next-generation standard infrastructure for WBAN and Smart Grid. Security plays an important role in several ZigBee applications. Especially, strict membership control should be enforced when the membership is changed during the join and leave operations in ZigBee. In this paper, we investigate the security weakness of the current leave operation in ZigBee and propose a new security scheme to address it as well as its security and performance analysis.

In this paper, we propose a system architecture of the AMI to be applied in the modern agricultural sector. Agricultural electricity costs in South Korea is very inexpensive compared with other industries. It is expected to increase oil prices to rise over the medium to long term so the facilities must to be installed for farmers in terms of energy savings and energy costs. The research and development of plant factory which can replace the ills of modern agriculture is very active. The technologies of smart grid and plat factory are good paradigm of next generation agricultural sector. Good use of smart grid technologies, the traditional energy consumption industries, agriculture sector can be self-sufficiency industry. In this article the AMI architecture is developed and it will be applicable for modern farmers plant factory.

저탄소 녹색성장 정책의 일환으로 추진되는 Smart Grid 사업은, 전력인프라와 IT인프라가 융합 되면서 지능화된 전기 에너지의 효율성 향상을 목적으로 전기망 내 송배전을 실시간으로 관리할 수 있게 운영하는 지능형 전기망이다. 하지만 기존의 인터넷망과 IT 통신 인프라와 융합되면서 Smart Grid 인프라에서도 IT보안 취약점 문제가 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 Smart Grid 인프라를 요소별로 분석한다. 그리고 Smart Grid 인프라의 보안성 분석을 통하여 보안의 취약점을 가져 올 수 있는 Smart Grid에 대한 보안 이슈를 분석한다. 그리고 Smart Grid 보안성 기준에 따른 보안기술정책을 연구하고, 보안 표준과 보안 방안을 제시한다. 본 연구를 통하여 안전한 Smart Grid 보안기술정책을 위한 법 제정에 기초자료가 될 것이다.

Purpose: In this paper, we propose a design technique for the safety characterization grounding in the construction of the photovoltaic power generation complex which can be useful and useful as an alternative power energy source in our society. In other words, we will introduce the application of safety grounding for each application, which can improve and optimize the reliability of the internal grid from the cell module to the electric room in the photovoltaic power generation complex. Method: We analyze the earth resistivity of the soil in the solar power plant and use the computer program (CDEGS) to analyze the contact voltage and stratospheric voltage causing the electric shock, and propose the calculation and calculation method of the safety ground. In addition, we will discuss the importance of semi-permanent ground electrode selection in consideration of soil environment. Results: We could obtain the maximum and minimum value of ground resistivity for each of the three areas of the data measured by the Wenner 4 - electrode method. The measured data was substituted into the basic equation and calculated with a MATLAB computer program. That is, it can be determined that the thickness of the minimum resistance value is the most favorable soil environment for installing the ground electrode. Conclusion: Through this study, we propose a grounding system design method that can suppress the potential rise on the ground surface in the inner grid of solar power plant according to each case. However, the development of smart devices capable of accumulating big data and a monitoring system capable of real-time monitoring of seismic changes in earth resistances and grounding systems should be further studied.

환경오염에 대한 규제가 강화됨에 따라 친환경자동차의 개발과 보급이 활발하게 이루어지고 있기 때문에 전기에너지를 구동에너지로 사용하는 전기자동차의 보급을 위한 필수 요소인 전기자동차 충전 설비의 보급이 지속적으로 증가하고 있고 있지만, 전기자동차 충전설비의 안전성 확보를 위한 제도가 확립되어 있지 않은 상태에서 시범 보급되고 있는 현실이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 국내외 전기자동차 및 전기자동차 충전전원 공급설비관련 기준 및 표준 분석을 통하여 현재 전기설비기술기준 및 판단기준에 명시된 내용 분석을 통하여 전기자동차 충전전원 공급설비에 대한 안전성 확보를 위한 충전기, 충전케이블, 커플러 등의 시설기준에 대하여 나타내었다. 본 연구결과에 대한 활용에 따른 전기자동차 충전설비의 안전성 확보로 전 세계적인 기후변화 대응과 우리나라의 저탄소 녹색성장정책에 대응하기 위한 스마트그리드 산업의 활성화에 기여하고자 한다.

최근 환경문제와 더불어 새로운 에너지 패러다임의 변화에 따라 국내 외적으로 효율적인 수요관리의 수단과 신재생에너지원을 기반으로 하는 스마트그리드의 핵심 요소로서 전기저장장치가 주목받고 있다. 현재는 전기저장장치의 보급이 시장 형성전의 실증단계이지만 향후 신재생에너지의 확대와 전력 수요관리를 위한 보급 정책에 따라 수요가 빠르게 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 그러나 전기저장장치에 대한 시설기준의 부재로 인하여 설비의 설계 및 시공에 있어 안전성 및 신뢰성 확보가 어려우며 법정 검사의 사각지대에 있는 실정이다. 특히, 이차전지를 이용한 전기저장장치의 경우 축전지의 전기화학적 특성에 따라 안전을 확보하기 위한 특별한 시설기준이 요구된다. 따라서, 전기사업법에 의한 전기설비기술기준에 전기저저장치의 시설에 대한 최소한의 안전요건을 규정하는 시설기준을 제정함으로서 인체의 안전과 설비의 신뢰성을 확보하는 것이 필요하다.

CCTV for crime prevention is expanding; however, due to the absence of guidelines for determining installation locations, CCTV is being installed in locations unrelated to areas with frequent crime occurrences. In this study, we developed a CCTV Priority Installation Index and applied it in a case study area. The index consists of crime vulnerability and surveillance vulnerability indexes, calculated using machine learning algorithms to predict crime incident counts per grid and the proportion of unmonitored area per grid. We tested the index in a pilot area and found that utilizing the Viewshed function in CCTV visibility analysis resolved the problem of overestimating surveillance area. Furthermore, applying the index to determine CCTV installation locations effectively improved surveillance coverage. Therefore, the CCTV Priority Installation Index can be utilized as an effective decision-making tool for establishing smart and safe cities.
