This paper discusses the evaluation of interconnection capacity of small cogeneration(SCOGN) systems to the power distribution systems from the viewpoint of voltage regulation. Power utilities are required to keep the customers' voltage profile over a feeder close to the rated value under all load conditions. However, it is expected that the interconnection of SCOGNs to the power distribution systems impacts on the existing voltage regulation method and customers' voltage variations. Therefore, SCOGNs should be integrated to the automated power distribution systems to prevent interconnection problems and supply high quality electricity to the customers. For these reasons, we should proceed with the evaluation of interconnection capacity of SCOGNs to the power distribution systems. However, it is generally impossible to perform actual testing on the power distribution systems, and standardized methodologies and guidelines are not developed to evaluate it. The criterion indexes for voltage regulation and variations are presented in order to evaluate the interconnection capacity of SCOGNs to the power distribution systems. In addition, the evaluation methodology of interconnection capacity of SCOGNs for power distribution systems is presented. It is expected that the resulted of this paper are useful for power system planners to determine the interconnection capacity of SCOGNs and dispersed storage and generation (DSG) systems to the power distribution systems.

Interconnection of new energy sources, such as photovoltaic generation, wind power generation, etc., into the electric power distribution system may result in the increasing short-circuit capacity when a short circuit fault occurs. The short-circuit capacity becomes over the interrupting ratings of circuit breakers, and then they fails to operate in the proper way they prevent fault currents from flowing into the distribution facilities and thus causing them serious damages. This study deals with impacts on the respective short-circuit capacity of both low voltage and extra high voltage distribution systems at which new energy sources are installed. In order to obtain more accurate and all-case values very close to reality in the complicated distribution system, computer simulation tools should be required. In this paper, however, its focus is placed on examining the varying trend of short-circuit capacity, which may happen owing to new energy source interconnection, as a previewing step for exhaustive simulation studies.

The present paper investigates the technological and conceptional characteristics of peering and transit in internet interconnection. Especially, the market with two ISP competing for customers is modeled and the outcome with peering is compared with transit. This paper also analyze the congestion effects on retail price and network capacity. When there is congestion effects occurring from network sharing, the retail price is increased and the fixed fee is decreased with the degree of congestion. Finally, the optimal access charge assuring the socially optimal retail price and network capacity is derived.

The introduction of new renewable energy is going on increase with the second plan of the Korean Government "Technology Development, Utilization and Popularization of New Renewable Energy". In general, it is connected to the power system due to the nature of it's source characteristics but it's interconnection operation impacts on the power system planning and operation. The operation schemes of the existing power distribution system are based on the unidirectional power flow, but unidirectional power flow changes to bidirectional power flow due to the interconnection operation of new renewable energy. It degrade the existing protection coordination system and power quality of the power distribution system. Thus, the technical evaluation process of the interconnection of new renewable energy are necessary. In this paper, the characteristics of the existing automatic recloser and sectionalizer are reviewed and interconnection capacity evaluation method of the DR(distributed resources) in the existing automatic recloser-sectionalizer protective coordination system are proposed.

As the Kyoto Protocol, which aims at reducing greenhouse gases in accordance to the UNFCCC, came into force, research on environment friendly energy resources has been a matter of concern worldwide. As a general power generation system, among renewable energy resources, that is interconnected and operated with power system, the wind turbine is emerging as an effective alternative. Since power capacity of the wind turbine has been steadily increasing and its relative importance is also increasing in total facility capacity, we cannot ignore its effect. Because controlling generation output in the wind turbine is not as easy as in the synchronous machine due to its facility characteristics and it generates irregular output fluctuations when interconnected with power system, system interconnection was difficult. But the effect of large capacity wind turbine on isolated power system like Jeju island is serious problem on the frequency stability. Accordingly, it is necessary to analyze the effects of wind turbine on system interconnection and assess the optimum capacity of wind turbine that satisfies the most important principle of stable power supply. This paper have analyzed the effects of wind turbine capacity increases on the system and suggested the method of the capacity to achieve its steady operation. And It is applied to the Jeju island.

The base station (BS) of CDMA mobile system (CMS) provides mobile call services by controlling call processing functions. The call Processing part of the BS is divided into two components; the base station transceiver subsystem (BTS) and the base station controller (BSC). In this paper, we present the call capacity estimation of the BS about control signals and traffic data of calls by the simulation, and find the bottleneck points and problems which may occur in the BS. In order to estimate the call capacity, first we extract the major parameters for the modeling the BS. Second, we suggest the simulation model for the BS. Third, we estimate the simulation results by finding major objective factors such that the call blocking probability, the utilization ratio and the delay time in the traffic channel elements (TCEs), the BTS interconnection network (BIN)-COMA interconnection network (CIN) trunks, the transcoding channels and the CIN packet router.

FPGA-based logic emulator with lane gate capacity generally comprises a large number of FPGAs connected in mesh or crossbar topology. However, gate utilization of FPGAs and speed of emulation are limited by the number of signal pins among FPGAs and the interconnection architecture of the logic emulator. The time-multiplexing of interconnection wires is required for multi-FPGA system incorporating several state-of-the-art FPGAs. This paper proposes a circuit partitioning algorithm called SCATOMi(SCheduling driven Algorithm for TOMi)for multi-FPGA system incorporating four to eight FPGAs where FPGAs are interconnected through TOMi(Time-multiplexed, Off-chip, Multicasting interconnection). SCATOMi improves the performance of TOMi architecture by limiting the number of inter-FPGA signal transfers on the critical path and considering the scheduling of inter-FPGA signal transfers. The performance of the partitioning result of SCATOMi is 5.5 times faster than traditional partitioning algorithms. Architecture comparison show that the pin count is reduced to 15.2%-81.3% while the critical path delay is reduced to 46.1%-67.6% compared to traditional architectures.

With the exponentially increasing Internet traffic and emergence of more versatile and heterogeneous applications, the design of datacenter networks (DCNs) is subject to unprecedented requirements for larger capacity and more flexible switching granularities. Envisioning Optical-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (O-OFDM) as a promising candidate for such a scenario, we motivate the use of O-OFDM as the underlying switching technology in order to provide sufficient switching capacity and elastic bandwidth allocation. For this purpose, this article reviews the recent progresses of DCN deployment and assesses the scenario where the O-OFDM transmission and switching technology is employed in the underlying transport plane. We discuss the key issues of the datacenter-oriented O-OFDM optical networks, and in particular, elaborate on a number of open issues and solutions including system interconnection architecture, routing and resource assignment, survivability, and energy-efficiency.
