In this paper, we propose an optimal energy management system using the data inference scheme and the cloud hosting technique in order to improve the efficiency of the energy management. We have been interested in the issue that the energy-saving and efficient management techniques are very useful for reducing the production and supply of energy. The energy management system refers to the control and management system in order to enable the efficient use of energy and also to maintain a comfortable and functional working environment effectively with the help of a computer. The proposed system controls a variety of equipment for energy management, and also gets the data for the inference from the changes in energy consumption environment, which is implemented to enable efficient energy management by adapting and controlling the changes optimally in the working environment. In order to evaluate the performance of the implemented system, some experiments have been performed under consideration of the monthly electric power consumption on the server that the inference engine is operating for the target facilities. Finally, the results show that the proposed system has a good performance.

Engineering structures including civil infrastructures require a life-cycle cost and benefit during their service lives. The service life of a structure can be extended through appropriate inspection and maintenance actions. In general, this service life extension requires more life-cycle cost and cumulative benefit. For this reason, structure managers need to make a rational decision regarding the service life management considering both the cost and benefit simultaneously. In this paper, the probabilistic decision tool to determine the optimal service life based on cost-benefit analysis is presented. This decision tool requires an estimation of the time-dependent effective cost-benefit under uncertainty to formulate the optimization problem. The effective cost-benefit is expressed by the difference between the cumulative benefit and life-cycle cost of a deteriorating structure over time. The objective of the optimization problem is maximizing the effective cost-benefit, and the associated solutions are the optimal service life and maintenance interventions. The decision tool presented in this paper can be applied to any deteriorating engineering structure.

The object of this study is to develope a program with proposed numerical techniques for an optimal seismic control of structures using active tendon systems. Ricatti closed-loop algorithm has been applied to control the active tendon systems with time-delay problem. The optimal control is formulated as an optimization problem which is finding optimal weighting matrices by minimizing the quadratic performance index by SUMT. In order to find the optimal location of active tendons in structures, controllability index has been introduced. From numerical examples, the current optimal control technique with optimal location of tendons was suitable to control the seismic response of structures.

Recently, the demand on the practical application of life-cycle cost effectiveness for design and rehabilitation of structure is rapidly growing unprecedently in engineering practice. Accordingly, in the 21st century, it is almost obvious that life-cycle cost together with value engineering will become a new paradigm for all engineering decision problems in practice. However, in spite of impressive progress in the researches on the LCC, the most researches have only focused on the Deterministic or Probabilistic LCC analysis approach (Level-1 LCC Model) at design stage. Thus, the goal of this study is to develop a practical and realistic methodology for the Lifetime risk based Life-Cycle Cost (LCC)-effective optimum decision-making at design stage.

최근 태풍, 집중호우로 인한 홍수피해가 빈번히 발생함하고 있다. 특히 상류에 저수지가 있을 경우 홍수조절을 통해 하류지역의 홍수피해를 저감하기도 하지만 급작스런 방류량의 증가 등으로 인해 하류지역의 피해가 증가되는 경우도 있다. 따라서 하류지역 홍수피해 저감을 위해 저수지의 홍수관리기능에 대한 관심도가 높아지고 있다. 대규모 다목적댐의 경우 다양한 저수지운영룰을 통해 수문을 운영하고 있어 홍수조절기능을 충분히 수행하고 있지만, 농업용저수지는 홍수관리에 있어 수문조작 전문성의 부족과 운영룰의 미정립 등으로 인해 취약성을 가지고 있는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 수문이 설치된 1백만m³이상의 저수지 중 성주저수지를 연구대상저수지로 선정하였다. 비상수문을 통한 사전방류방안과, 저수지운영을 연구하여 농업용저수지의 홍수조절용량 확보를 위한 사전방류방안에 대해 연구하였다. 저수지운영은 Auto ROM을 적용하였고 홍수조절용량 확보를 위하여 홍수기 수위관리기법 중 사전방류기법을 채택하였다. 사전방류기법은 모의기법에 의한 사전방류와 최적화기법에 의한 최적사전방류량을 결정하는 방법으로 연구하였다. 홍수기의 제한수위는 유효저수량의 70%인 EL.179.7m, 65%인 EL.178.8m, 60%인 EL.177.8m로 설정하여 분석하였다. 모의기법에 의한 사전방류방법은 초기수위는 만수위에서부터 1.0m씩 감소하였고, 비상수문은 0.5m씩 개방하여 4.0m까지 개방 하였다. 사전방류의 시간은 24hrs, 48hrs를 적용하였다. 최적화기법에 의한 사전방류방법은 초기수위는 모의기법과 동일하고 목표수위를 제한수위(70%, 65%, 60%)가 되는 최적방류량을 산정하고 최적방류량을 방류할 수 있는 수문의 개방높이를 분석하였다. 2012년, 2020년의 호우사상에 대해 사전방류가 없는 경우와 모의기법, 최적화기법에 의한 사전방류결과를 적용한 경우를 비교하여 검토하였다. 그 결과 제한수위 70%를 유지할 경우 2012년은 모의기법이 5.6%, 최적화기법이 5.4%의 방류량 감소효과가 있으며 2020년은 모의기법이 9.0%, 최적화기법이 8.8%의 방류량 감소효과가 있는 것으로 검토되었다.

가교폴리에틸렌(XLPE) 절연체를 적용한 MV급 지중케이블은 1972년부터 KEPCO에서 본격적으로 사용되기 시작하였다. 이후 도심지 지중화사업에 힘입어 매년 6.5%정도의 케이블 설비가 증가하였으며 오늘날 29,000C-km이상의 MV급 케이블이 설치되어 있다. 과거 비약적인 경제성장과 더불어 전력망 확충을 위한 투자가 KEPCO의 주된 역할이었다면 오늘날에 있어서는 확충된 설비를 최적의 상태로 유지 관리하는 것으로 패러다임이 변하고 있다. 특히 지중설비의 동맥(動脈)으로 볼 수 있는 케이블에 대한 관리방법이 화두가 되고 있으며 최적관리의 전제조건인 열화진단 분야가 KEPCO가 이끌고 나가야 할 새로운 개척분야로써 많은 역량이 집중되고 있다. 2010년에는 VLF TD/PD를 새로운 진단기법으로 적용하였으며 케이블 설치공사 준공 검수시험으로 0.1Hz 저주파 교류내전압시험 도입 및 활선 PD진단장치를 자체 개발하여 현장 적용성 검토를 추진하는 등 MV급 지중설비의 관리기법에 있어 큰 전환점을 만들고 있다. 본 고에서는 KEPCO의 MV급 케이블 변천사와 추진하고 있는 진단기법 및 관리 지향점을 논하고자 한다.

In this study, to minimize both the costs associated with track maintenance and the energy consumption for train operation, a numerical method that evaluates the optimal vertical stiffness of a fastener for concrete track is presented. A progress model of the track damage is established in order to calculate the concrete track maintenance cost according to the fastener stiffness. Also, the quantitative relationship between the progress of the track damage and the maintenance of the concrete track is derived. The wheel load is more exactly evaluated by using the advanced vehicle-track interaction model, which can precisely consider the behaviors of the track components. An optimal range for the stiffness of the fastener, a range that is applicable to the design of concrete track for domestic high speed lines, is proposed.
