Currently, the Republic of Korea is facing the problem of a decrease in military service resources due to the demographic cliff, and is pursuing military restructuring and changes in the military force structure in order to respond to this. In this situation, the Army is pushing forward the deployment of a drone-bot combat system that will lead the future battlefield. The battlefield of the future will be changed into an integrated battlefield concept that combines command and control, surveillance and reconnaissance, and precision strike. According to these changes, unmanned combat system, including dronebots, will be widely applied to combat situations that are high risk and difficult for humans to perform in actual combat. In this paper, as one of the countermeasures to these changes, autonomous behavior software with a BDI architecture-based decision-making system was developed. The autonomous behavior software applied a framework structure to improve applicability to multiple models. Its function was verified in a PC-based environment by assuming that the target UAV is a battalion-level surveillance and reconnaissance UAV.

Generally, PLC (Power Line Communication) based home automation devices such as wall switch, walt socket, gas controller, etc, must maintain wake-up status at all time to control other electronic devices and monitor their on/off status whether they are in service or not. In order to reduce the unnecessary energy consumption during the standby mode, the new power-saving PLC 2 ports wall switch has been developed, separating PLC communication part and controller part and introducing sleep mode. In addition, to expand life cycle of PLC product and to reduce the rate of product failure in active mode, the instant controlling method in controlling process is adopted instead of the maintenance controlling method. In comparison to the earlier model, the new 2 ports PLC wall switch has reduced power by 0.95[W] less in standby mode and 3.2[W] less in active mode than the previous one.

In this paper, an algorithm of extracting the features of home appliances and automatically building a database to identify home appliances is designed and presented. For the verification, a software library supporting this algorithm is implemented and added to an power management system server, which was already implemented to support real-time monitoring of home appliances' power consumption status and controlling their power. The implemented system consists of a system server and clients, each of which measures the power consumed by a home appliance plugged in it and transmits the information to the server in real-time over a wireless network. Through experiments, it is verified that it is possible to identify any home appliance connected to a specific client.

A container security device (CSD) monitors intrusions through the cargo door; it is a reduced function device that uses IEEE 802.15.4 with a beacon mode. However, in the beacon mode, the CSD consumes too much battery power in periodical idle listening and sensing trials. Moreover, the CSD cannot send the message to the CSD reader actively, and it makes big latency problem. Therefore, we propose a low-power CSD to reduce the unnecessary power consumption. The proposed CSD follows the requirements of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and reduces battery consumption through a power-efficient hardware design, a night-watch mechanism for low-power operation and low-power sensing to reduce unnecessary monitoring. And the CSD sends alert message to the CSD reader. Simulation results show that our CSD reduces battery consumption by over 70% through the night-watch mechanism and by approximately 80% through the low-power sensing. And the CSD can send the alert message to the remote CSD reader by over 94%.

Korea plans to be the world's first country to transform its electricity network into "smart grids," which use information and operational technologies to help to facilitate the reduction of carbon emissions, make more efficient use of existing infrastructure/resources through meeting customer demand/less generation, and support renewable resources with real time monitoring and controls. In this situation, universities do the needful on priority to nurture smart grid engineers who will be responsible for state-of-the-art technologies as today's electric grid transitions to a digital network. This paper thus attempts to permanently turn out high-quality human resources in electrical engineering by fleshing out strategies for training smart electric grid engineers, based on lessons from a national undertaking of nurturing qualified power IT engineers starting on February 1 of 2007.

In this paper, We implement a power-saving and efficient measures in buildings using the smart-meter. In order to save electric power energy, We propose an improved automatic power-factor controller(APFC) and demand control measures. This is achieved by controlling directly circuit breakers and the capacitor bank feeders in real time via a two-way smart-meter's ICT skills. Improved APFC is minimizing installation costs by series-parallel connecting heterologous capacitors to form a more diverse capacitor banking and controlling using the smart-meter. In order to suppress the demand power, We have designed a smart-meter with communication functions using Atmel's AVR465 and tested an operated lodging building for 24-hours. As a result, We made sure to always retained more than 95% power factor and did not occur over compensation.

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) System was first introduced to the Seoul Electricity Authority, which manages the transportation part among the three business fields that produce, transport and supply electric power in Korea. Has been using the data link with 1200 bps and 9600 bps in 5 protocols such as HARRIS 6000, BSC, HDLC, L & N and Toshiba by configuring 3 layers of EMS, SCADA and RTU computer equipments in 1: N radial form. This paper presents the OSI standard network packet flow, analyzing DataLink and Network Layer, and presents a KEPCO SCADA network model composed of X.25 high - speed communication network using 3 layers of network. We proposed a future SCADA communication structure that improved the current SCADA communication structure, defined the SCADA DB structure, introduced the concept of the remote SCADA gateway to the SCADA functional structure, applied the standard communication protocol, Multiplexing of surveillance and control in other local facilities and ensuring communication openness.

전력거래소(KPX)는 전국에 산재된 발 변전소로부터 2초 혹은 4초 주기로 계통운영에 필요한 아날로그, 디지털 데이터를 실시간으로 취득하고 있다. 이렇게 취득한 데이터는 EMS 전력계통 감시 및 제어를 위한 각종 화면, 자동발전제어/경제급전(AGC/ED), 상태추정(SE), 상정고장해석(CA)등 실시간 계통운영과 조류계산(PF), 고장계산(SCT), STNET(PF, CA), 상정고장해석 등 검토모드로 급전소 휴전업무 검토에 활용되고 있다. 또한 EMS에서 취득한 실시간 데이터를 MOS(시장 운영시스템)로 보내어 상태추정을 추행하고 이 값을 기반으로 발전기별 경제적인 출력 값인 FMD(5분 급전지시)를 EMS로 보내어 EMS의 주요기능인 AGC(자동발전제어)로 경제적이고 안정된 출력 조정을 하고 있다. 이러한 이유로 EMS 및 MOS의 상태추정 견과의 정확도와 실행 안정성은 매우 중요하다고 하겠다. 본고에서는 EMS 계통해석기능 검증 결과와 향후 데이터 정확도 개선은 위한 과정의 일환으로 EMS의 상태추정과 MOS의 상태추정의 상호비교 결과를 소개하고자 한다.

Recently, switchboards for MV/LV distribution customers have been united and digitalized rapidly. This paper suggestes the effective information visualization method for the data mesured from cubicle switchboard for MV/LV distribution customers. We developed the algorithm that analyzes a large number of mesured data and displays them to users overall, such as fire index, power condition index, switchboard safety index, and power diminution index. Using a touch screen made users to operate it easily. User interface was also strengthened by taking graph visualization. We guess the information visualiztion method suggested in this paper shows the new direction that heavy electrical equipments including switchboards are going to develop in the future.

대규모 전력산업의 지속적인 성장을 위해서는 전력계통 시스템의 고신뢰도를 필수적으로 요구하며 따라서 계통운영 전반에 디지털과 자동화 기술 기반의 고도의 기술 필요성이 날로 증대되고 있다. 그 결과 변전소 자동화 구축을 위한 세계 표준 규격인 IEC 61850이 제정되었으며 2005년 전체적인 세부 사항이 확립되어 발표되었다. 이러한 세계적인 추세에 발맞추어 한국전력공사는 변전소 내에 설치되는 상위 장치인 변전소 운전용 컴퓨터, 하위 장치인 센서들(변류기, 변성기 등)과 제어기(차단기 등), 그리고 상위 장치와 하위 장치 사이에서 감시, 진단, 보호, 제어, 계측, 보안 방재 등을 담당하는 장치(IED Intelligent Electronic Device)들을 기존의 다심 구리 케이블 대신 고속 LAN 케이블로 연결하여 데이터 전송 및 제어명령 전송에 사용하는 통신에 IEC 61850 단일 프로토콜을 사용함으로서 변전소 건설과 운전, 유지보수의 효율성과 신뢰성을 향상시킴과 동시에 변전소 운영에 필요한 정보의 가용성을 극대화시킬 수 있는 기반을 구축하기 위한 기술을 개발 중에 있다.
