This paper presents a fault location algorithm for a single phase-to-ground fault on 3-terminal transmission systems. The method uses only the local end voltage and current signals. Other currents used for the algorithm are estimated by current distribution factors and the local end current. Negative sequence current is used to remove the effect of load current. Five distance equations based on Kirchhoff's voltage law are established for the location algorithm which can be applied to a parallel transmission line having a teed circuit. Separating the real and imaginary parts of each distance equation, final nonlinear equations that are functions of the fault location can be obtained. The Newton-Raphson method is then applied to calculate the estimated fault location. Among the solutions, a correct fault distance is selected by the conditions of the existence of solution. With the results of extensive S/W and H/W simulation tests, it was verified that the proposed algorithm can estimate an accurate fault distance in a 154kV model system.

Cross docking is a logistics management concept in which items delivered to a terminal by inbound trucks are immediately sorted out, routed and loaded into outbound trucks for delivery to customers. Two main advantages by introducing a cross docking terminal are to consolidate multiple smaller shipment into full truck load and remove storage and order picking processes to save up logistics costs related to warehousing and transportation costs. This research considers the scheduling problem of trucks in the cross docking terminals with multi-door in an inbound and outbound dock, respectively. The trucks sequentially deal with the storage process at the one of inbound doors and the shipping process at the one of the outbound doors. A mathematical model for an optimal solution is derived, and genetic algorithms with two different chromosome representations are proposed. To verify performance of the GA algorithms, we compare the solutions of GAs with the optimal solutions and the best solution using randomly generated several examples.

In this paper we propose a novel mobile terminal software architecture supporting energy efficient handover operation in heterogeneous networks. Since the legacy proposals for L3 handover are mostly dependent on IETF Mobile IP which has some problems in movement detection mechanism and no considerations on nested heterogeneous network environment as a result they make serious overload on networks and terminals by performing unnecessary handover in such network environments. The proposed architecture has terminal-oriented network selection and switching architecture where a mobile terminal periodically monitors network status and selects the optimum network, and reduces energy consumption by making L3 handover of Mobile IP to the finally selected network. The network selection method first picks up some candidate networks by considering a terminal speed and power consumption estimation, and determines the final target handover network among the candidates after evaluating multiple factors including QoS required by a terminal, network status, user preference and terminal battery status. Finally we verify the functionality and performance of the energy efficient vertical handover architecture by means of adopting it into a real mobile terminal.

The stability of a multi-terminal direct current (MTDC) system is often influenced by its control strategy. To improve the stability of the MTDC system, the control strategy of the MTDC system must be appropriately adopted. This paper deals with estimating stability of a MTDC system based on the line-commutated converter based high voltage direct current (LCC HVDC) system with an inverter with constant extinction angle (CEA) control or a rectifier with constant ignition angle (CIA) control. In order to evaluate effects of two control strategies on stability, a MTDC system is tested on two conditions: initialization and changing DC power transfer. In order to compare the stability effects of the MTDC system according to each control strategy, a mathematical MTDC model is analyzed in frequency domain and time domain. In addition, Bode stability criterion and transient response are carried out to estimate its stability.

The use of voltage source converter multi-terminal direct current (VSC-MTDC) systems is anticipated to increase from the introduction of wind farms and super grids in the near future. Effective control of the DC voltage in VSC-MTDC systems is an important research topic. This paper proposes a new dynamic reference-based voltage droop control to control the DC voltage in VSC-MTDC systems more effectively. The main merit of the dynamic reference-based voltage droop control is that it can reduce the steady-state error in conventional voltage droop control by changing references according to the system operating conditions. The performance of the proposed control was tested in a hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) system based on the OPAL-RT real-time digital simulator and four digital signal processing boards.

In this paper, the modified simulation algorithms of the Auto Transformer (AT) feeding electric train were proposed. To obtain terminal voltage of train by using equivalent circuit of the AT feeding system, the iterative method is proposed for which determine the train voltages. The train voltages are iteratively calculated from the system voltage drop and line impedance. In the case study, the proposed method is verified from actual operation data of the Kwa-Chon line. Also it is verified that the proposed method can be extent to the multi-train simulation tool. The terminal voltage of the multi-train can be calculated by using superposition principle and it is easily applied to the proposed method. Therefore, the proposed method can be a solution for the complexity of the circuit analysis in the existing methods.

New formulas for the minimum noise figure and the optimum source impedance of microwave FETs are derived using the noise equivalent circuits obtained from the steady-state Nyquist theorem for multi-terminal semiconductor devices. The derived formulas manifest the relationships between the noise sources and the physical parameters of a noise equivalent circuit. Furthermore the formulas can explain the effect of gate leakage current on the minimum noise figure and the optimum source impedance. comparisons with the published experimental data confirm the validity and usability of our formula.

In this paper, a method for generating ranging signal to reduce the effects of interference and overcome intentional jamming is proposed in slow frequency hopping(SFH) communication system. A terminal uses ranging signal for initial Up-link synchronization in the frequency hopping communication systems using multi-terminal. However, ranging signal generated by unsynchronized terminal acts as an interference signal to another terminal. Therefore, we propose the design of the ranging signal with PN sequence in order to minimize the affection to the other terminal and simulated its performance. From the simulated result, we confirm synchronization performance.

This paper presents a design method for combinational digital logic systems using time domain based multiplexing and common multi-terminal extension decision diagrams. The proposed method can reduce the 1)hardware, 2)logic levels and 3)pins. In the logic system design, we use two types of decision diagrams(DDs), that is the common binary decision diagrams and CMTEDDs. Also, we propose an algorithms to derive common multiple-terminal binary decision diagrams from CBDDs, and CMTEDDs from CMTBDDs. The CMTEDDs over CBDDs is more compactness in terms of number of non-terminal nodes, where the nodes for output selection variables are not included in the non-terminal nodes. In the logic design, each non-terminal nodes of an CBDDs and an CMTEDDs is realized by a multiplexer(MUX). In addition, we compare the proposed TDBM realization with the conventional one.
