This paper is concerned with automatic telemetering system which reads the consumed quantity of electricity, gas, and piped water. The existing metering method such that a meterman visits households and directly reads meters can cause several problems, including violation of privacy and the possibility of criminal accident, as well the inefficiency in viewpoint of system operation and rate notification. In this paper, we propose a new automatic telemetering and rate notification system, in which the system reads several meters at remote locations and notifies the rates to the customer's cellular phone with short message service(SMS). The proposed system has been developed by using CDMA mobile communication modules and personal computers. This system can operate only with cellular communication network even without wired-internet facilities. In particular, the developed system can provide home security and convenience as well as cost reduction, and thus be applied to intelligent home networks.

AMR(Automatic Meter Reading) and RC(Remote Control) System have been researched from former several decade for a various power rate system, a efficient power service and rising of personal expenses, etc. But the existing AMR and RC System have disadvantage which are complex and high cost to install an individual communication network of electricity company. This paper proposed a new type of AMR and RC System using PLC with Web. and made components for proposal system. Most customer who live in apartment have an internet cable in the Republic of Korea. Therefore there is no more installation component for communication in proposal system at the apartment, except Web server system and PLC modem. so we made the PLC modem the digital watt-hour meter with a build in PLC modem and the software on server computer for establishing the proposal system.

Korea Distribution Automation System(KODAS) has been designed and implemented for feeder automation using the paircable as communication media. And we bave been developed the telemetering system using the low voltage line. Kepco have been constructed approximately 60% of the Cable TV(CATV) networks in large city in Korea since 1995, so we have been researching the feeder automation based on CATV networks also. We will contruct the system using its in the area with of cable-TV networks and paircable line in the other area for communication media in future.

For the real-time control of a multi-purpose reservoir in case of a storm, it is absolutely necessary to forecast accurate flood inflows through a good rainfall-runoff model by calibrating the parameters with the on-line rainfall and water level data transmitted by the telemetering systems. To calibrate the parameters of a runoff model. the trial and error method of manual calibration has been adopted from the subjective view point of a model user. The object of this study is to develop a automatic calibration method using an optimization technique. The pattern-search algorithm was applied as an optimization technique because of the stability of the solution under various conditions. The object function was selected as the sum of the squares of differences between observed and fitted ordinates of the hydrograph. Two historical flood events were applied to verify the developed technique for the automatic calibration of the parameters of the storage-function rainfall-runoff model which has been used for the flood control of the Soyanggang multi-purpose reservoir by the Korea Water Resources Corporation. The developed method was verified to be much more suitable than the manual method in flood forecasting and real-time reservoir controlling because it saves calibration time and efforts in addition to the better flood forecasting capability.
