We see an energy fucused smart city evolution of the UK along with the project of "Smart London Plan (SLP)." A theoretical logic of business model innovation has been discussed and a research framework of evolving energy focused smart city is formulated. The starting point is the silo system. In the second stage, the private investment in smart meters establishes a basement for next stages. As results, the UK's smart energy sector has evolved from smart meter installation through smart grid to new business models such as water-energy nexus and microgrid. Before smart meter installation of the government, the electricity system was centralized. However, after consumer engagement plan has been set to make them understand benefits that they can secure through smart meters, the customer behavior has been changed. The data analytics firm enables greater understanding of consumer behavior and it helps energy industry to be smart via controlling, securing and using that data to improve the energy system. In the third stage, distribution network operators (DNOs)' access to smart meter data has been allowed and the segmentation starts. In the fourth stage, with collaboration of Ofwat and Ofgem, it is possible to eliminate unnecessary duplication of works and reduce interest conflict between water and electricity. In the fifth stage, smart meter and grid has been integrated as an "adaptive" system and a transition from DNO to DSO is accomplished for the integrated operation. Microgrid is a prototype for an "adaptive" smart grid. Previous steps enable London to accomplish a platform leadership to support the increasing electrification of the heating and transport sector and smart home.

본 논문에서는 HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding) 부호기를 위한 효율적인 SAO(Sample Adaptive Offset)의 저면적 하드웨어 구조를 제안한다. SAO는 HEVC 영상 압축 표준에서 채택된 새로운 루프 내 필터 기술로서 최적의 오프셋 값들을 화소 단위로 적용하여 영역 내 평균 화소 왜곡을 감소시킨다. 하지만 표준 SAO는 화소 단위 연산을 수행하기 때문에 초고해상도 영상을 처리하기 위해서 많은 연산시간과 연산량을 요구한다. 제안하는 SAO 하드웨어 구조는 SAO의 연산시간을 감소시키기 위해서 한번에 4개의 입력 화소들을 병렬적으로 처리하며, 2단계 파이프라인 구조를 갖는다. 또한 하드웨어 면적을 최소화하기 위해서 휘도 성분과 색차 성분에 대해 단일 구조를 가지며, 하드웨어에 적합한 연산기 및 공통 연산기를 사용한다. 제안하는 SAO 하드웨어 구조는 Verilog HDL로 설계하였으며, TSMC $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS 표준 셀 라이브러리로 합성한 결과 약 190k개의 게이트로 구현되었다. 제안하는 SAO 하드웨어 구조는 200MHz의 동작주파수에서 4K UHD@60fps 영상의 실시간 처리가 가능하며, 최대 250MHz까지 동작 가능하다.

The robotic welding has been adapted positively in many welding shops forthe purpose of improving the welding efficiency and liberating operators from the severe working atmosphere. But for a large-size structure with thick plates like ship-building and every kind of plants manufacturing, the application of the arc welding robots is not established yet. The reason is assumed that the conventional arc welding robots are not adaptive for multi-pass welding of thick plates whose grooves are not so accurate. As one solution to this problem, a guidance system which uses the welding arc itself as a sensor is largely used. In this study the velocity controller which changes the tip to workpiece distance for regulating the weld proposed. The proportional and integral gain of velocity controller were determined by using the computer simulation of the control system, and the simulation results compared with the experimental ones. It was revealed that the developed control system using the arc sensor principle has a good capability of tracking the weld joint, although some more studies will be needed to refine the model of arc current.

In this work, Self-adaptive Differential Evolutionary (SaDE) algorithm is proposed to solve Optimal Location and Size of Capacitor (OLSC) problem in radial distribution networks. To obtain the SaDE algorithm, two improvements have been applied on control parameters of mutation and crossover operators. To expand the study, three load conditions have been considered, i.e., constant, varying and effective loads. Objective function is introduced for the load conditions. The annual cost is fitness of problem, in addition to this cost, CPU time, voltage profile, active power loss and total installed capacitor banks and their related costs have been used for comparisons. To confirm the ability of each improvements of SaDE, the improvements are studied both in separate and simultaneous conditions. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, it is tested on IEEE 10-bus and 34-bus radial distribution networks and compared with other approaches.

쓰러기 소각로는 다음과 같은 불명확한 요소들을 포함한다. 즉 연료로 사용되는 쓰레기의 물리적 특성의변동 그리고 연소현상의 복잡성 등이다. 이것은 기존의 제어기법을 쓰레기의 연소제어에 적용하기가 매우 어렵게 만든다. 따라서 대부분의 쓰레기 소각로는 조작자의 운전에 의존한다. 본 논문에서는 쓰레기 소각로의 연소제어를 위한 다변수퍼지모델 예측제어를 제안한다. 쓰레기 소각로의 모델을 구하기 위해 적응 네트워크에 기초한 퍼자추론시스템이 사용되고 동정된 퍼지 모델을 이용하여 다변수 퍼지모델 예측제어기가 설계된다. 그리고 제안된 제어기의 성능을 평가하기 위해 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션이 수행되었다.

Engineering of automated tools for the agro-food industries and the rural world activities have to pick up two challenges : to answer the immediate important problems related to the situation of these industries, and to imaging the tools that their professional will need next century. Creating or modifying automated tools in the next few will be made taking into account parameters either technical (environmental protection, health and safety), or social and economical (investment , employment). There will be a strong interaction with disciplines like ecology, medicine, ergonomy, psycho-sociology , etc. , The partners for such a research, tools manufactures and users, should have an early involvement in its content, in order to find rapidly the solution to the drastic problems they are meeting. On a longer term , during the next 20 years , there will be an important evolution of the rural space management and of the food processes.

In this paper, the resource allocation problem with proportional fairness rate in cognitive OFDM-based wireless network is studied. It aims to maximize the total system throughput subject to constraints that include total transmit power for secondary users, maximum tolerable interferences of primary users, bit error rate, and proportional fairness rate among secondary users. It is a nonlinear optimization problem, for which obtaining the optimal solution is known to be NP-hard. An efficient bio-inspired suboptimal algorithm called immune clonal optimization is proposed to solve the resource allocation problem in two steps. That is, subcarriers are firstly allocated to secondary users assuming equal power assignment and then the power allocation is performed with an improved immune clonal algorithm. Suitable immune operators such as matrix encoding and adaptive mutation are designed for resource allocation problem. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves near-optimal throughput and more satisfying proportional fairness rate among secondary users with lower computational complexity.

According to the defense-in-depth concept, not only a preventive strategy but also an integrated cyberattack response strategy for NPPs should be established. However, there are limitations in terms of responding to penetrations, and the existing EOPs are insufficient for responding to intentional disruptions. In this study, we focus on manipulative attacks on process data. Based on an analysis of the related attack vectors and possible attack scenarios, we adopt the Kalman filter to detect process anomalies that can be caused by manipulations of process data. To compensate for these manipulations and secure MCR operators' situational awareness, we modify the Kalman filter such that it can filter out the effects of the manipulations adaptively. A case study was conducted using a hardware-in-the-loop system. The results indicated that the developed method can be used to verify whether the displayed safety-related state data are reliable and to implement the required safety response actions.
