  • Dedicated outdoor air-conditioning(DOA) system that utilizes pre-cooling and desiccant dehumidification can be superior to conventional cooling and reheating system with respect to energy consumption and indoor thermal comfort. In this work, simulation has been conducted to study various factors that affect the performance of DOA. Dynamic simulation shows the transient variation of temperature and humidity as the on/off control logic is imposed. Exit humidity of process air and flow rate are varied to study the effect on exit temperature of process air, dehumidification quantity, required regeneration temperature and exit humidity of regeneration air. For an outdoor air condition of $28.5^{\circ}C$ temperature, 16 g/kg humidity ratio and 2000 cmh flow rate, the dehumidification efficiency is increased by 4.6% as the flow rate is doubled.

  • The UPFC(Unified Power Flow Controller) controls the magnitude and phase of the series injected voltage to exchange the real and reactive power with transmission line. The UPFC consists of two inverters connected together through the DC link capacitor. This paper describes the detailed UPFC switching-level model. PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) method is chosen to operate the inverters. Automatic voltage control mode and automatic power flow control mode is selected to control the UPFC. EMTP simulation is offered to obtain the basic operation characteristics of the UPFC and the dynamic characteristics of the UPFC is studied in detail.

  • A mock circulatory loop system has been developed to construct a simulator for trainees in cardiopulmonary bypass systems or to simulate a test environment for cardiac-assist devices. This paper proposes a computerized mock circulatory loop system whose node is modularized by using a servo control flow regulator to simulate dynamic change of the hemodynamic status. To observe the effect of time-varying resistance, one with hemodynamic properties, the proposed system replicates the planned cross-sectional areas of the outlet of a ventricular assist device in terms of voltage input of a servo valve. The experiment is performed (1) for steady-input commands of selected area sizes and (2) for dynamic commands such as monotonous increase and decrease, and oscillatory functions of the voltage input, and a computer program based on LabVIEW (National Instruments, Austin, USA) processes every measured data and control command to the servo valve. The results show that the pressure and flow at the target points with respect to time-varying resistance match intuitive estimation: the pressure at the outlet and the pressure drop between both sides of the valve increased and the flow at the outlet decreased for increased resistance.

  • The present paper investigates methods to control dynamic stall using an optimal approach. An unsteady aerodynamic sensitivity analysis code is developed by a direct differentiation method from a two-dimensional unsteady compressible Navier-Stokes solver including a two-equation turbulence model. Dynamic stall control is conducted by minimizing an objective function defined at an instant instead of integrating for a period of time. Unsteady sensitivity derivatives of the objective function are calculated by the sensitivity code, and optimization is carried out using a linear line search method at every physical time step. Numerous examples of dynamic stall control using control parameters such as nose radius, maximum thickness of airfoil, or suction show satisfactory results.

  • In the thermal power plant, the main steam temperature is typically regulated by the fuel flow rate and the spray flow rate, and the reheater steam temperature is regulated by the gas recirculation flow rate. However, Strictly maintaining the steam temperature can be difficult due to heating value variation to the fuel source, time delay changes in the main steam temperature, the change of the dynamic characteristics in the reheater. Up to the present time, PID Controller has been used to operate this system. However, it is very difficult to achieve an optimal PID gain with no experience, since the gain of the PID controller has to be manually tuned by trial and error. This paper focuses on tuning of the 2-DOF PID Controller on the DCS for steam temperature control using immune based multiobjective approach. The stable range of a 2-DOF parameter for only this system could be found for the start-up procedure and this parameter could be used for the tuning problem. Therefore tuning technique of multiobjective based on immune network algorithms in this paper can be used effectively in tuning 2-DOF PID controllers.

  • In the companion paper, the composition and structure of the MATDYMO (Multi-Agent for Traffic Simulation with Vehicle Dynamic Model) were proposed. MATDYMO consists of the road management system, the vehicle motion control system, the driver management system, and the integration control system. Among these systems, the road management system and the integration control system were discussed In the companion paper. In this paper, the vehicle motion control system and the driver management system are discussed. The driver management system constructs the driver agent capable of having different driving styles ranging from slow and careful driving to fast and aggressive driving through the yielding index and passing index. According to these indices, the agents pass or yield their lane for other vehicles; the driver management system constructs the vehicle agents capable of representing the physical vehicle itself. A vehicle agent shows its behavior according to its dynamic characteristics. The vehicle agent contains the nonlinear subcomponents of engine, torque converter, automatic transmission, and wheels. The simulation is conducted for an interrupted flow model and its results are verified by comparison with the results from a commercial software, TRANSYT-7F. The interrupted flow model simulation is implemented for three cases. The first case analyzes the agents' behaviors in the interrupted flow model and it confirms that the agent's behavior could characterize the diversity of human behavior and vehicle well through every rule and communication frameworks. The second case analyzes the traffic signals changed at different intervals and as the acceleration rate changed. The third case analyzes the effects of the traffic signals and traffic volume. The results of these analyses showed that the change of the traffic state was closely related with the vehicle acceleration rate, traffic volume, and the traffic signal interval between intersections. These simulations confirmed that MATDYMO can represent the real traffic condition of the interrupted flow model. At the current stage of development, MATDYMO shows great promise and has significant implications on future traffic state forecasting research.

  • The developed concept of smart flow control based on turbulence scale modification was applied to control a flow around a circular cylinder. The concept was realized using arrays of vortex-generators regularly spaced along a cylinder generatrix with a given step. Mechanical and thermal vortex-generators were tested, the latter having been based on the localized surface heating or plasma discharges initiated with microwave radiation near the surface. Thus depending on a particular engineering solution, flow transport properties could be modified in passive or active ways. Matched numerical and experimental investigations showed a possibility to delay flow separation and, accordingly, to improve the aerodynamic performance of blunt bodies.

  • With the advent of SDN, a next-generation network technology that separates the hardware and software areas of network equipment and defines the network using open source-based software, it solves the problems of complexity and scalability of the existing network system. It is now possible to configure a custom network according to the requirements. However, it has a structural disadvantage that a load on the network may occur due to a lot of control communication occurring between the controller and the switch, and many studies on network load distribution to effectively solve this have been preceded. In particular, in previous studies of load balancing techniques related to flow tables, many studies were conducted without consideration of flow entries, and as the number of flows increased, the packet processing speed decreased and the load was increased. To this end, we propose a new network load balancing technique that monitors flows in real time and applies dynamic flow management techniques to control the number of flows to an appropriate level while maintaining high packet processing speed.
