In recent years, the United States has used the Load Duration Curve (LDC) method to identify water pollution problems, considering the size of the pollutant load in the entire stream flow condition to effectively evaluate Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). A study on the improvement of the target water quality evaluation method was carried out by comparing evaluations of two consecutive years of water quality and LDC data for 41 unit watersheds (14 main streams and 27 tributaries). As a result, the achievement rate of the target water quality evaluation method, according to current regulations, was 68-93%, and that by the LDC method was 82-93%. Evaluating the target water quality using the LDC method results in a reduction in the administrative burden and the total amount of planning as compared to the current method.

For OBC (On-Board Charger) and LDC (Low DC-DC Converter) used as essential power conversion systems of PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), system performance is required as well as reliability, which is need to protect the vehicle and driver from various faults. While current development processor is sufficient for embodying functions and verifying performance in normal state during development of prototypes for OBC and LDC, there is no clear method of verification for various fault situations that occur in abnormal state and for securing stability of vehicle base, unless verification is performed by mounting on an actual vehicle. In this paper, a CCM (Charger Converter Module) was developed as an integrated structure of OBC and LDC. In addition, diverse fault situations that can occur in vehicles are simulated by a simulator to artificially inject into power conversion system and to test whether it operates properly. Also, HILS (Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation) is carried out to verify whether LDC is operated properly under power environment of an actual vehicle.

Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) System has been used to improve water quality in the Youngsan·Tamjin river basin since 2004. The Basic Policy of TMDLs sets up the standard flow based on the average dry condition or mid-range flow during the last 10 years. However, Target Water Quality (TWQ) assessment on TMDLs has been used to evaluate water quality through eight-day intervals over 36 times a year. The results for allocation evaluation and target water quality evaluation were different from each other in the same unit watershed during the first period. In order to improve the evaluation method, researchers applied Load Duration Curve (LDC) to evaluate water quality in nine unit watersheds of the Youngsan·Tamjin river basin. The results showed that achievement rates of TWQ assessment with the current method and LDC were 67~100% and 78~100%, respectively. Approximately 11% of the achievement rates with use of LDC were higher than those with use of the current method. In conclusion, it is necessary to review the application of the LDC method in all Four Major River Watersheds.

In korea, TMDL is being implemented to manage nonpoint pollution sources as well as point pollution sources. LDC is being used for the planning of TMDL. In order to analyze the water quality using LDC, it is necessary to prepare FDC using the daily flow data. However, only the daily flow data is measured at the WAMIS branch, and 8days flow data and water quality data are measured at the monitoring Networks. So, in many researches, the water quality is being grasped by deriving the LDC using the 8days flow or the daily flow obtained by various methods. These fluctuations may lead to differences in determining whether the target load is achieved. In this study, each LDC was prepared using the 8day flow and the related daily flow. Then, the effect using different flow data on the achievement of target load was compared according to flow conditions. As a result, the difference ratio in the number of overloads under flow condition was showed 19% in high flows, 42% in moist conditions, 49% in mid-range flows, 41% in dry conditions, and 104% in low flows. In the top ten watershed with the highest difference ratio, the flow became lower the difference ration increases. These differences can cause uncertainty in assessing the achievement of target load using LDC. Therefore, in order to evaluate the water quality accurately and reliably using LDC, accurate daily flow data and water quality data should be secured through the installation of national nonpoint measurement network.

Water quality in four major river basin in Korea was managed with Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) System. The unit watershed in TMDL system has been evaluated with Target Water Quality (TWQ) assessment using average water quality, without considering its volume of water quantity. As results, although unit watershed are obtained its TWQ, its allocated loads were not satisfied and vice versa. To solve these problems, a number of TWQ assessments with using Load Duration Curve (LDC) have been studied at other watersheds. The purpose of this study was to evaluate achievement of TWQ with Flow Duration Curve (FDC) and Load Duration Curve(LDC) at 26 unit watersheds in Han river basin. The results showed that achievement rates in TWQ assessment with current method and with LDC were 50~56 % and 69~73%, respectively. Because of increasing about 20% of achievement rates with using LDC, the number of exceeded unit watershed at Han river Basin was decreased about 4~6 unit watersheds.

이 글은 선진국, 개발도상국 그리고 한국에서의 인구고령화 현 상태와 추세를 고찰하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 2009년 현재 세계인구 중 65세 이상 노인의 비중은 8%이다. 한편 노인인구의 비율은 개발도상국(그리고 한국)보다 선진국이 훨씬 높다. 그래서 우리는 인구고령화 현상을 흔히 유럽, 미국, 일본 등 선진국에서 일어나는 현상으로 간주한다. 이는 잘못이다. 미래에는 인구고령화가 선진국보다 개발도상국 그리고 한국에서 훨씬 더 심각한 사회문제로 나타날 것이다. 인구고령화는 선진국보다 개발도상국(그리고 한국)에서 급격하게 진행되고 있다. 그것은 선진국에 비해 개발도상국에서 인구변천이 최근시점에 그리고 단기간에 이루어졌기 때문이다. 그 결과 현재 노년부양비, 노령화지수, 중위연령은 선진국이 한국과 개발도상국보다 더 높지만, 미래에는 그것들은 선진국보다 한국과 개발도상국에서 크게 그리고 급격하게 변동할 것으로 전망된다. 게다가 젊은세대의 부담을 훨씬 더 가중시키는 초고령인구도 선진국보다 개발도상국에서 급격히 증가할 것으로 전망한다. 그러므로 개발도상국에서 개인의 생존전략 혹은 정부정책을 인구고령화에 관련시켜 수립할 때, 우리는 선진국과 개발도상국에서 이와 같이 인구고령화가 상이하다는 사실을 고려할 필요가 있다.

최근 부하증가에 대한 안정적 전력공급과 환경문제 해결은 전 세계적 이슈로 등장되고 있으며, 그 해결책으로써 분산형전원(Distributed generation, DG)에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. DG는 경제적 효율적 이유로 기존 전력계통과 연계해 운전되는데, 태양광이나 풍력과 같은 재생에너지를 이용한 DG의 불확실하며 빈번한 출력변동은 배전계통의 전압조정을 어렵게 만든다. 배전계통의 전압조정을 위해 배전용변전소의 부하시 탭 변환기(Under Load Tap Changer, ULTC)가 이용되고 있다. ULTC는 부하변동에 따른 배전선로상 전압강하를 보상하는 선로 전압강하보상법(Line Drop Compensation, LDC)에 의해 조정된다. LDC 전압조정법에서, 측정된 뱅크전류와 미리 설정된 LDC 정정치(LDC parameters, 부하중심점 전압과 등가 임피던스)를 이용해 ULTC의 송출전압을 결정한다. LDC 정정치 설계시, 기존에는 ULTC 탭 동작횟수를 줄이는 것이 주요 목표였고, 이 목표는 DG 도입을 제한하는 큰 원인이 되고 있다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 DG 도입을 증가시키는 새로운 ULTC 전압조정법을 제시하고 모델 배전계통 시뮬레이션을 통해 그 유효성을 확인한다.

Integrated bidirectional OBC/LDC was developed to reduce the volume for elements, avoid space restriction, and increase efficiency in EV vehicles. In this study, a DC-DC converter in integrated OBC/LDC circuits was composed of an SRC circuit with a stable output voltage relative to an LLC circuit using a theoretical method and simulation. The resonant network of the selected circuit was optimized to minimize the power loss and element volume under constraints for the buck converter and the battery charging range. Moreover, the validity of the optimal model was verified through an analysis using a theoretical method and a numerical analysis based on power loss at the optimized resonant frequency.

This study proposes a 7kW low-voltage DC-DC converter (LDC) using a coupled inductor (CI) for heavy hydrogen electric transport vehicles. The LDC uses a phase-shift manner for soft switching. SiC-MOSFET is used to reduce the loss of reverse recovery current through the use of a high switching frequency. LDC is require large transformer and inductor because of large output current. The size of transformer and inductor can be reduced by deviding the transformer and inductor into two pieces each. This work presents the experimental results of the proposed circuit.

현재 우리나라에서 많은 연구에 활용되고 있는 오염부하지속곡선(Load duration curve, LDC)은 단일 기준유량의 문제점을 개선하기 위해 전체 유량 범위를 고려한 수질오염총량관리제(Total Maximum Daily Loads, TMDL) 평가 기법으로 개발되었다(Choi et al., 2012). LDC를 이용해 목표수질 달성여부를 분석하기 위해서는 일유량자료를 바탕으로 유량지속곡선(Flow Duration Curve, FDC)의 작성이 선행되어야 하는데(Park and Oh, 2012), 365일 연속적으로 측정된 실측 자료를 이용하는 것이 가장 확실하고 정확한 방법이다. 그러나 현재 환경부에서는 총량관리 단위유역에서 8일 간격으로 실측 유량 및 수질 측정이 이루어지고 있고, 특히 주로 비강우 시에 측정이 이루어지고 있는 실정이기 때문에 고유량에 대한 모니터링 자료가 부족한 실정이다. 이 같은 이유로 많은 연구에서 불연속적인 평균 8일 간격 유량을 그대로 사용하거나 일유량자료를 확보하기 위해 다양한 방법을 이용하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 유량자료의 변동은 유랑지속곡선에 변화를 주고 결과적으로는 LDC를 이용한 목표수질 달성여부를 판단함에 있어 불확실성이 있다. 이에 본 연구의 목적은 환경부 총량측정망 8일유량자료와 이와 연계성이 있는 국토교통부 하천유량 측정망 일유량자료를 이용하여 각각의 LDC를 작성하고, 이러한 일유량과 8일유량 사용이 LDC를 이용하여 목표수질에 대한 오염부하 특성분석에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 유량 조건별로 차이를 비교분석하는 데 있다.
