  • This paper describes computational algorithms and a computer program for optimum determinations of wire conductor sizes of radial or tree-type distibution lones with given constraints. Here, The objective function is defined as the total summation of the volume or weight of respective conductor materials required for buildingup the entire distributing system. Four categories of constraints are applied to the obiective function. That is, on the respective load points constraint is imposed by a specified voltage drop limit, and the respective line elements are capable of carrying the current safely(safety current) and also must maintain the minimum thickness in viewpoint of mechanical strength and legal requirements. And finally, the conductor sizes have to be selected among the standardized size levels of the products. These kinds of optimization problems cannot be solved by the ordinary optimization tediniques such as the Linear Programming Method, SUMT Technique, etc. This paper, therefore, successfully devised the powerful alorithms to solve the problem, using the particular properties or characteristics ingerent to the radial or tree-type distribution system. The computer program developed from the algorithms was applied to several sample systems and shown to be exact and very efficient.

  • Restructuring and recent developments in the power system and problems arising from construction and maintenance of large power plants, increasing amount of interest in distributed generation (DG) source. Distributed generation units due to specifications, technology and location network connectivity can improve system and load point reliability indices. In this paper, the allocation and sizing of DG in distribution networks are determined using optimization. The objective function of the proposed method is to improve customer-based reliability indices at lowest cost. The placement and size of DGs are optimized using a Genetic Algorithm (GA). To evaluate the proposed algorithm, 34-bus IEEE test system, is used. The results illustrate efficiency of the proposed method.

  • An active control of the vibration transmitted by longitudinal load in flight control system is investigated numerically. The flight control system is modeled as a finite, thin shell cylinder with constant thickness. A vibration source is generated by exterior monopole source. Distributed piezoelectric actuator is used to control of the vibration. Thin shell theory is used to formulate the numerical models. The amplitude of vibration at discrete location and power transmission are minimized by analytical optimization method. Genetic algorithm is used as numerical optimization method to search optimal actuator position and size which amplitude of vibration is minimized.

  • In this paper, in order to obtain the optimization of the RNN model used for sentiment analysis, the correlation of each model was studied by observing the trend of loss and accuracy according to hyperparameter tuning. As a research method, after configuring the hidden layer with LSTM and the embedding layer that are most optimized to process sequential data, the loss and accuracy of each model were measured by tuning the unit, batch-size, and embedding size of the LSTM. As a result of the measurement, the loss was 41.9% and the accuracy was 11.4%, and the trend of the optimization model showed a consistently stable graph, confirming that the tuning of the hyperparameter had a profound effect on the model. In addition, it was confirmed that the decision of the embedding size among the three hyperparameters had the greatest influence on the model. In the future, this research will be continued, and research on an algorithm that allows the model to directly find the optimal hyperparameter will continue.

  • In multiphase flne the bubble size and velocity. To achieve this, one of approaches is to utilize laser phase-Doppler anemometry. However, it was found that the second order refraction has great impact on PDA sizing method when the relative refractive index of media is less than one. In this paper, the problem of second order refraction is investigated and a model of phase-size correlation to eliminate the measurement errors is introduced for bubble sizing. As a result, the model relates the assumption of single scattering mechanism in conventional phase-Doppler anemometry. The results of simulations based on this new model by using Generalized Lorenz Mie Theory (GLMT) are compared with those based on the conventional method. An optimization method for accurately sizing air-bubble in water has been suggested.

  • Almost all buildings/infrastructures made of composite materials are fabricated without proper design. Unlike airplane or automobile parts, prototype test is impossible. One cannot destroy 10 story buildings or 100-meter long bridges. People try to build 100-story buildings or several thousand meter long bridges. In order to realize "composites in construction", the following subjects must be studied in detail, for his design: Concept optimization, Simple method of analysis, Folded plate theory, Size effects in failure, and Critical frequency. Unlike the design procedure with conventional materials, his design should include material design, selection of manufacturing methods, and quality control methods, in addition to the fabrication method.on method.

  • In this paper, we supposed allocating the number of redundancies as the model of 0-1 knapsack problem and formulated the problem to maximize the systems reliability for a mission length. The formulated problem reduced the problem size using the modified branch and bound algorithm by Lagrangian relaxation. The subgradient method can optimize the set of solution. To verify the proposed method, we presented the improved resutls of the systems composed of two and ten component groups as the commparison of those in other papers.

  • We are concerned with optimization methods for the $L^2$-Wasserstein least squares problem of Gaussian measures (alternatively the n-coupling problem). Based on its equivalent form on the convex cone of positive definite matrices of fixed size and the strict convexity of the variance function, we are able to present an implementable (accelerated) gradient method for finding the unique minimizer. Its global convergence rate analysis is provided according to the derived upper bound of Lipschitz constants of the gradient function.

  • In this research, it is proposed that optimization method is introduced and applied to the design of pipeline system in multi-regional water supply project, which has been constructed to settle the regional unbalance problems of available water resources. For the purpose, interface programs are developed to integrate linear programming model and KYPIPE model which is used for optimization and hydraulic analysis, respectively. The developed program is applied to the pipeline system design of multi-regional water supply project. The optimal diameters from the application of linear programming technique are compared with those from conventional method that is time-consuming and tedious trail and error process. Since the conventional design largely depends upon the experience of designers and the results of general hydraulic analysis, it can not be reasonable and consistent. The application of linear programming technique can make it possible to design pipeline system optimally by using same design factors of general hydraulic models. The model can select commercial discrete pipe diameter as optimal size by using pipe length as decision variables. The developed model is applied to Pohang multi-regional water supply system design with two different objective functions, which are initial construction cost and annual cost including electric cost. As results, it is calculated that the initial construction cost of 1,449,740 thousand won is saved and annual cost of 128,951 thousand won is saved for a year within study year. Also, the optimal site of pump station is selected on 5th pipe, which is located between the diverging junction to Kangdong(2) province and the diverging junction to Cheonbuk province. It is explained that pump cost is less than pipe cost in this application case study due to little pump station scale. In the case of water supply with large pump capacity, it is reasonal that the increase of pipe size is more efficient instead the increase of pump station capacity to save annual cost.
