This paper is about the Extra-High voltage distribution system in the customer's area. The power loss in the distribution system in the customer's area is disregarded and rarely managed so far. But, economically, this loss is not small quality to ignore. So, in this paper, we calculate the power loss of the Extra-High voltage distribution system in the customer's area by changing the locations of power transformer and other power facilities to decrease power loss in decreased secondary line length. And we also show the payback time of the proposed Extra-High voltage distribution system in the customer's area by simplified calculations.

In this paper, an optimal approach for the wide-area regulation of control devices in a transmission network is proposed. In order to realize an improved voltage profile and reduced power loss, existing devices such as tap-changing transformers, synchronous machines, and capacitor banks should be controlled in a coordinated and on-line manner. It is well-understood that phasor measurement units in transmission substations allow the system operators to access the on-line loading and operation status of the network. Accordingly, this study proposes efficient software applications that can be employed in area operation centers. Thus, the implanted control devices can be regulated in an on-line and wide-area coordinated approach. In this process, efficient objective functions are devised for both voltage profile improvement and power loss reduction. Subsequently, sensitivity analysis is carried out to determine the best weighting factors for these objectives. Extensive numerical studies are conducted on an IEEE 14-bus test system and a real-world system named the Azarbayjan Regional Transmission Network. The obtained results are discussed in detail to highlight the promising improvements.

The relationship between debris flow and topographical factors is essential for the reliable estimation of soil loss. The objective of this paper is to estimate stability index and soil loss for assessing landsliding risk caused by debris flow. SIMAP and RUSLE are used to estimate stability index and soil loss, respectively. The landsliding risk area estimated by using SIMAP is found to be different from the large land area estimated by RUSLE. It is found that the spatial distribution of soil cover significantly influences landsliding risk area. Results also indicate that stability index and soil loss, estimated by soil cover factor, improve the assessment of landsliding risk.

The full mould casting process in one of the newly developed techniques which has many advantages. Unbonded sand mould has been prepared for the major mould and $CO^2$ gas mould has been used occasionally for comparison. Patterns were built up with expanded polystyrene and coated with three different materials. Silica, graphite and zircon were used for the coating layer. The effects on fluidity and temperature loss of molten metals were investigated. The molten metals were Al-5% Si alloy, Cu-30% Zn alloy and gray iron of approximately 4.0% of carbon equivalent. Experimental variables were runner section area, superheat, sprue height, coating materials, coating thickness and apparent density of EPS pattern. The effects of coating materials on fluidity and temperature loss of the molten metals during transient pouring are summarized as follows : As runner section area, superheat and sprue height increased, fluidity increased. Temperature loss decreased as runner section area and sprue height increased. However, reversed effects were observed in the case of superheat increment. The coating materials decreased the fluidity of each alloy in the order of silica, graphite and zircon. Zircon brought to the highest temperature loss among the coating materials used. The fluidity increased in the order gray iron, Cu-30% Zn and Al-5% Si alloy while temperature loss in the reverse order. Especially in case of reduced pressure process, the fluidity was increased apparently. Al-5% Si alloy showed the lowest temperature loss among the alloys. The increment of the apparent density of EPS pattern resulted in the fluidity decrease and temperature loss increase. The relation between fluidity and temperature loss of each alloy can be expressed by the following equation within the coating thickness limit of 0.5-1.5㎜. F^*={\frac{a}{T^*-b}}-c$ where, $F^*$ : fluidity in the Full mould, $T^*$ : temperature loss in the mould. a : parameter for full mould. b, c : constants.

The objective of this study is to estimate soil loss in the buffer zone of Guem river with future climate change simulation. Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model was used for the estimation of soil loss at the buffer zone of Guem river. As results of simulations, the area of the maximum soil loss potential was estimated as the Cheongsung-myeon Okchun-gun Chungcheongbuk-do. The soil losses were estimated to be 106.67 and 103.00 ton/ha/yr for the 2020 segi (2015-2025) and 2040 segi (2035-2045) in the Cheongsung-myeon area, respectively. Also, the estimated average values of soil losses in the Cheongsung-myeon with future climate change was 110.78 ton/ha/yr.

The loss is most important problems for the practical applications of permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM). In this paper, rotor sleeve and stator shape design of high speed permanent magnet motor for loss reduction. First, this paper found optimum sleeve thickness for calculation eddy current loss on the basis of analytical method, because eddy current is influenced by conductivity of material and area. Then, stator shape design is changed as maintain same slot area for reducing stator core loss. Finally, this paper compared analytical result with optimum sleeve thickness obtained from finite element(FE) method, and stator core loss is calculated from FE method.

For the case of the facilities using utilities such as cooling water and steam, risk of the facilities is zero because the consequence of failure (COF) through equipment damage area is zero. Therefore, to improve the estimation method of the risk by COF through equipment damage area in the risk-based inspection (RBI), this study developed the procedures of RBI, in which the risk was estimated by COF through financial loss. And, the RBI program (KS-RBI Ver 3.1) was developed to establish inspection interval based on the risk of the facilities estimated by COF through equipment damage area and financial loss, simultaneously, and the developed RBI program was applied to a petrochemical process. As a result, risks of the facilities estimated by COF through financial loss were similar to risks by COF through the equipment damage area. But, for the case of the facilities using utilities or expensive facilities, the estimation method of the risk by COF through financial loss was more accurate than through equipment damage area.

Quantitative analysis of termites damage is important in terms of conservation and maintenance of wooden cultural heritage buildings, because termites makes cavities and decreases the section area of wooden structural members. The purpose of this study is to forecast the range and spread of termites damage in the wooden structural members by using ultrasonic pulse velocity method. Ultrasonic pulse velocity has been used as one of non-destructive test to analysis the internal defect by using difference velocity between medium material and cavity. This method would be effective to analysis termites damages. From the result of the ultrasonic velocity test, the loss rate of area effected by termites damage had a strong correlation with ultrasonic velocity. And it is possible to predict the loss rate of area from by termites damage by using regression equation in the case of structural member of fine tree.

In this paper, the optimum shape design of stator slot of induction motors for iron loss reduction is proposed. To obtain the flux distribution in induction motors, 2-D finite element method with voltage source is employed. The iron loss is calculated from the iron loss data given by the iron manufacturer. To calculate the sensitivity of iron loss to shape variation, the sensitivity analysis of discrete approach is used. The proposed algorithm is applied to a 3-phase squirrel cage induction motor. The nodes at stator slot boundary of the induction motor are defined as design parameters. By controlling these parameters under the constant volume of iron, we can minimize the iron loss. Furthermore, the stator copper loss is reduced by increasing the slot area. So the stator slot area is determined at the point that the summation of iron loss and copper loss of stator is minimized. Since the constraint of constant volume of iron is nonlinear to the design parameters, the Gradient Projection method is used as an optimization algorithm.

In this paper, we obtained the path loss characteristics in the 850 MHz for Russia area by using the free space path loss model and Okumura-Hata path loss model. In order to extract the additional path loss model parameter from the new Russian regional properties, the mean square error technique is used to obtain the correction factor. According to the obtained correction factor, the differences for the free space and Hata path loss model are 17, 6 dB in the 5 ~ 10 Km, 28, 14 dB in the 10 ~ 15 Km, and 35, 18 dB in the 15 ~ 20 Km. By applying the correction factors, the appropriate partial path loss models for the measured Russain area are proposed.
