This paper proposes Direct Load Control(DLC) operation scheme using a bidding system and the methodology to value proper quantity decided by the DLC program, which is a kind of resources for stabilization of electricity market price during peak times by managing consumer electricity demand. Since DLC program in Korea is based on the contract with the customers participating in this program, it is difficult to anticipate voluntary participation. That is, incentive for participants in DLC program is insufficient. To cope with this point, it is necessary to develop a new market mechanism and market compatible operation scheme for DLC programs. DLC market mechanism is deemed to be equipped with iterative bidding system, independent operation from energy market, and interactive with bidding information on energy market. With this market mechanism, it is important to find the optimal operation point of DLC allowing for the factors of stabilizing the electricity market price and compensating DLC implementation. This paper focuses on the mathematical approaches for the bid-based DLC operation scheme and examines several scenarios for the following technical justifications: 1) stabilization of electricity market price during peak times, 2) elasticity of demand.

Most of specifications are composed by letters and the contents of specifications are very bulky. There exists correlation between the detailed contents. Therefore, to be achieved suitable quality of electricity function; it requires effectively organized and well expressed structured system. Therefore, it should be considered that assuring user's safety and guarantee capability of electricity installation through development of making such systematic specifications and supply of a technology that heighten consummative technology. Because the scope of electricity construction that requires making specification is very wide, in order to save resources and improve the level of technology, it is required that the standard of technology that is composed in the electricity construction that is from unit of electricity construction to whole electricity construction should be united and controlled nationally.

The production of electricity and the pattern of consumption in competitive electricity market are changing. The price of electric power in spot market will be varied by the economic electricity availability of generation utilities and electricity consumers. DSM(demand-side management) is a method which provides simultaneously economics to utilities and consumers as main participants in electricity market. In this paper, it is argued that the effect of DSM in competitive electricity market for consumers, generation utilities, and transmission utilities.

We verified the charged static electricity on LCD glass influences upon the etching uniformity of dry etching process by plasma. In the TFT-LCD manufacturing process, we mainly paid attention to eliminate the static electricity for TFT reliability. The static electricity caused the serious ununiformity of etching surface profile and etching rate in the dry etch process. Through our experiment on the made static electricity from -200V to -1000V, it was confirmed that the static electricity on LCD glass caused the etching rate variation of $1.5%{\sim}15%$. We recommend the etching process equipment for LCD manufacturing have to establish the soft X-ray exposure module system for eliminating the static electricity inside the loading and unloading chamber.

Recent years in Korea, some new developed buildings are only using electricity as power for heating, cooling, bathing and even cooking which means except electricity, there is no natural gas or other kinds of energy used in such kind of building. In vehicle industry area, scientists already invented electric vehicle as an environment friendly vehicle; after that, in architecture design and construction field, buildings only using electricity appeared; the curiosity of the environment impact of energy consumption by such kind of building lead me to do this research. In general, electricity is known as a clean energy resource reasoned by it is noncombustible energy resource; however, although there is no environmental pollution by using electricity, electricity generation procedure in power plant may cause huge amount of environment pollution; especially, electricity generation from combusting coal in power plant could emit enormous air pollutants to the air. In this research, the yearly amount of air pollution by energy using under traditional way in research target building that is using natural gas for heating, bathing and cooking and electricity for lighting, equipment and cooling is compared with yearly amount of air pollution by only using electricity as power in the building; result shows that building that only uses electricity emits much more air pollutants than uses electricity and natural gas together in the building. According to the amount of air pollutants comparison result between two different energy application types in the building, residential SOFC (Solid oxide fuel cell) is simulated to apply in this building for decreasing environment pollution of the building; furthermore, high load factor could lead high efficiency of SOFC, in the scenario of simulating applying SOFC in the building, SOFC is shared by two or three households in spring and autumn to increase efficiency of the SOFC. In sum, this research is trying to demonstrate electricity is a conditioned environment friendly energy resource; in the meanwhile, SOFC is simulated efficiently applying in the building only using electricity as power to decrease the large amount of air pollutants by energy using in the building. Energy consumption of the building is analyzed by calibrated commercial software Design Builder; the calibrated mathematical model of SOFC is referred from other researcher's study.

With the recent advances in smart grid technologies and the increasing dissemination of smart meters, the power usage of each time unit can be detected in modern smart building environments. Thus, the utility company can adopt different price of electricity at each time slot considering the peak time. Korea government also announces the smart-grid roadmap that includes a law for realtime price of electricity. In this paper, we propose an efficient power scheduling scheme for smart buildings that adopt smart meters and real-time pricing of electricity. Our scheme dynamically changes the power mode of each consumer device according to the change of power rates. Specifically, we analyze the electricity demands and prices at each time, and then perform real-time power scheduling of consumer devices based on collaboration of each device. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme reduces the electricity charge of a smart building by up to 36.4%.

Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about the regional pricing of electricity and electricity self-sufficiency. In Korea, power generation facilities are highly ubiquitous and there is an imbalance between electricity production and consumption regions. So it is proposed to charge different price by region, instead of the current nationwide uniform price, and the regional electricity self-sufficiency rate is proposed as a criterion for identifying electricity production and consumption regions. However, many discussions set the spatial unit for measuring electricity self-sufficiency by 17 Si·Do, which needs to be analyzed for its appropriateness. In this study, we analyzed the electricity self-sufficiency rate using 17 provinces and 229 Si·Gun·Gu as the spatial unit. As a result of the analysis, there are 7 and 10 electricity producing and consuming regions at Si·Do level, but 38 and 191 at Si·Gun·Gu level. In addition, although the electricity self-sufficiency rate measurement has the advantage of identifying electricity production and consumption areas in a simple and intuitive way, we points out that it has some problems with the criteria for regional pricing of electricity.

It is important issue to reduce the electric energy to save the operating cost of HVAC system. Even if electrical energy is the clean energy, it is difficult and takes high cost for storage of electricity. These cause the high peak load of electric energy for HVAC in summer season. In korea, government impose the electric charge with several grade for the purpose of cut-off the peak load of electricity. Government has a policy to support to design and install the heat/ice storage system using midnight electricity. In this study, analysis of cooling load and operating characteristics for ice storage system are performed. And, also economical efficiency is compared between ordinary charge system of electricity and midnight rate charge of electricity. The systematic and economical supports are needed for expansion of usage of energy saving equipments.

Electric accidents, like getting electrified, sometimes happen to people working on electricity. A highly probable reason why these electric accidents happen is that workers are used to skip confirming disconnection of electricity when they work. It is mostly because they have little understanding of electricity. To overcome this, various applications such as 'electric detecting stick' are invented to check existence of electricity on working environment. But, they have not been popular due to inconvenience of carrying. So, we made a new instrument. It is a kind of nipper on which electric detecter is installed. Detecting existence of electricity is less burdensome via this tool we made.
