In recent years, the energy storage systems such as LiB, NaS, RFB(Redox-Flow Battery), Super- capacitor, pumped hydro storage, flywheel, CAES(Compressed Air Energy Storage) and so on have received great attention as practical solutions for the power supply problems. They can be used for various purpose of peak shaving, load leveling and frequency regulation, according to the characteristics of each ESS(energy storage system). This paper will focus at 1 MWh RFB system, which is being developed through the original technology project of energy material. The output of ESS is mainly characterized by C-rate, which means that the total rated capacity of battery will be delivered in 1 hour. And it is a very important factor in the ESS operation scheduling. There can be several options according to the operation intervals 15, 30 and 60minutes. The operation scheduling is based on the optimization to minimize the daily electricity cost. This paper analyzes the cost-saving effects by the each operating time-interval in case that the RFB ESS is optimally scheduled for peak shaving and load leveling.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and Congestive heart failure (CHF) are increasingly widespread, costly, deadly diseases and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In this study, we analyzed three statistical methods for automatic detection of AF and CHF based on the randomness, variability and complexity of the heart beat interval, which is RRI time series. Specifically, we used short RRI time series with 16 beats and employed the normalized root mean square of successive RR differences (RMSSD), the sample entropy and the Shannon entropy. The detection performance was analyzed using four large well documented databases, namely the MIT-BIH Atrial fibrillation (n=23), the MIT-BIH Normal Sinus Rhythm (n=18), the BIDMC Congestive Heart Failure (n=13) and the Congestive Heart Failure RRI databases (n=25). Using thresholds by Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves, we found that the normalized RMSSD provided the highest accuracy. The overall sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for AF and CHF were 0.8649, 0.9331 and 0.9104, respectively. Regarding CHF detection, the detection rate of CHF (NYHA III-IV) was 0.9113 while CHF (NYHA I-II) was 0.7312, which shows that the detection rate of CHF with higher severity is higher than that of CHF with lower severity. For the clinical 24 hour data (n=42), the overall sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for AF and CHF were 0.8809, 0.9406 and 0.9108, respectively, using normalized RMSSD.

수많은 센서 노드들을 이용하여 주변환경으로부터 정보를 수집하는 센서네트워크에서 많은 양의 패킷을 빠르게 전송하기 위해서는 패킷 전송간에 지연을 최소화하여 효율성을 높일 필요가 있다. 센서네트워크에서 이벤트에 기반하여 동작하는 운영 체제에서는 주로 주기적으로 발생하는 Timer Event를 이용하여 연속적으로 패킷을 전송한다. 하지만 무선 센서네트워크의 특성상 패킷을 전송하는데 소요되는 시간이 매우 가변적이기 때문에 적합한 주기를 설정하기가 매우 어렵다. Timer Event의 발생주기에 따라 패킷 전송간에 지연이 증가하거나 전송요청이 실패 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 패킷 전송 작업이 완료되었음을 알려 주는 SendDone Event를 이용하여 연속적인 패킷전송 시 지연을 줄여 주는 ESTEO기법을 제안한다. ESTEO에서는 패킷 전송이 완료된 시점에 즉시 다음 패킷을 전송하기 때문에 패킷을 전송하는데 소요되는 시간에 상관없이 패킷 전송간에 지연이 발생하지 않는다. 따라서 연속적으로 대량의 패킷을 전송할 때 높은 전송율을 제공할 수 있다.

Autoreclosure provides a means of improving power transmitting ability and system stability. Conventional reclosure adopts the fixed dead time interval strategy, where the reclosure is activated after a time delay to restore the system to normal as quickly as possible without regard to the system conditions. However, these simple techniques cannot provide optimal operating performance. This paper presents an adaptive autoreclosure algorithm including variable dead time, optimal reclosure, phase-by-phase reclosure and emergency extended equal-area criterion (EEEAC) algorithm in order to improve system stability. The reclosure algorithm performs the operations that are attuned to the power system conditions. The proposed adaptive reclosure algorithm is verified and tested using ATP/EMTP MODELS, and the simulation results show that the system oscillations are reduced and the transient stability is enhanced by employing the proposed adaptive reclosure algorithm.

Autoreclosure provides a mean of improving power transmitting ability and system stability. The conventional reclosure adopts the fixed dead time interval strategy, that is, the reclosure is activated after a time delay to restore the system to normal as quickly as possible without regard to the system conditions, however, these simple techniques cannot give the optimal operating performance. For this reason, various adaptive reclosure algorithms have been proposed recently, This paper presents an adaptive autoreclosure algorithm including the variable dead time, optimal reclosure, sequential reclosure and emergency extended equal-area criterion (EEAC) algorithm in order to improve the system stability. The reclosure algorithm performs out the operations that are attuned to the power system conditions. The proposed adaptive reclosure algorithm is verified and tested by using EMTP MODELS, and the simulation results show that the system oscillations are reduced and the transient stability is enhanced by employing the proposed adaptive reclosure algorithm.

This article is concerned with cost analysis model in periodic maintenance policy. The repair policy is differently applied according as unit importance during an item being used and unit restoration during an item being failed. So in this paper the repair policy with minimal repair is considered as follow : as the occurrence of failure between minimal repair and periodic interval time, unit is replaced by a spare unit until the periodic maintenance time arrived. Then total expected cost per unit time is calculated according to scale parameter of failure distribution in a view of customer's. The total expected costs are included repair and usage cost : operating, fixed, minimal repair, periodic maintenance and spare unit cost. Numerical example is shown in which failure time of item has Erlang distribution.

본 연구에서는 가정 내 모든 기기가 연결된 하나의 전력선을 모니터링 하여 그 전력선에 연결된 기기 각각의 젼력 소비 상황을 모니터링 하는 NILM(Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring) 시스템 구축에 필요한 신호 분석 알고리즘에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 신호 분석 알고리즘은 전력선에서 관찰된 여러 기기의 전력 소비 패턴이 혼합된 혼합 전력 패턴을 복수개의 시간 구간으로 분리하고, 연속된 시간 구간 사이의 신호 차이를 구한 후, 이 차이 신호를 분석하여 어떤 장치가 현재 시간 구간에서 동작 중인지를 알아낸다. 이 때 시간 구간을 충분히 작게 하고, 신호 분석에 사용되는 특징들이 독립적이고 additivity 특징을 가지도록 선정한다면, 이 차이 신호에는 한 장치의 특징만이 남아 있으므로, 동시에 동작할 수 있는 장치 조합의 수 $2^N$개가 아닌 장치 N 개에 해당하는 특징만을 이용하여 혼합 신호를 분석할 수 있다. 이를 통하여 장치 개수가 증가하더라도 연산량 역시 산술적으로 증가하는 합리적인 확장성을 확보할 수 있다. 실제 가정에서 각 장치의 데이터 패턴을 채집한 후 이를 인위적으로 조합하여 만든 실험 데이터를 활용하여 제안한 방법을 검증하였다. 검증 결과 4개의 장치가 동시에 동작하고 그 장치의 특징들이 제안한 알고리즘에서 제시한 기준을 만족하는 경우, 비록 제한된 실험이었지만 완벽한 분류 성공률을 보였다. 제안된 알고리즘을 실제 사용하기 위해서는 장치의 수를 증가하고, 시간 구간을 조정하며, 신호 혼합 패턴을 다양하게 한 실증적인 연구가 더 필요하다. 하지만 이 경우 본 연구에서 제안한 기준을 만족하는 특징을 선택한다면, 그렇지 않은 경우에 비하여, 일정 정도 성능이 보장되는 NILM 시스템을 구축할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This paper presents a new state of charge(SOC) estimation of large capacity of Li-ion battery (LIB) based on the multiple model adaptive estimation(MMAE) method. We first introduce an equivalent circuit model of LIB. The relationship between the terminal voltage and the open circuit voltage(OCV) is nonlinear and may vary depending on the changes of temperature and C-rate. In this paper, such behaviors are described as a set of multiple linear time invariant impedance models. Each model is identified at a temperature and a C-rate. These model set must be obtained a priori for a given LIB. It is shown that most of impedances can be modeled by first-order and second-order transfer functions. For the real time estimation, we transform the continuous time models into difference equations. Subsequently, we construct the model banks in the manner that each bank consists of four adjacent models. When an operating point of cell temperature and current is given, the corresponding model bank is directly determined so that it is included in the interval generated by four operating points of the model bank. The MMAE of SOC at an arbitrary operating point (T $^{\circ}C$, $I_{bat}$[A]) is performed by calculating a linear combination of voltage drops, which are obtained by four models of the selected model bank. The demonstration of the proposed method is shown through simulations using DUALFOIL.

화력발전설비 고온요소의 잔여수명평가는 주로 비파괴검사 및 검사결과의 파괴역학적 해석등으로 행해졌다. 그러나 기존 방법은가동중에는 적용되기 어렵고 급작스런 운전이력에 대한 정량적인 손상을 평가할 수 없었다. 따라서 구조물의 형상, 운전이력 및 재료물성에 근거하여 실시간 수명소비율 및 잔여수명을 평가하는 기술의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고온 증기헤더의 수명을 실시간으로 평가하는 감시시스템 소프트웨어를 개발하였다. 고온헤더에 대하여 해석된 온도, 응력, 그린함수를 이용하여 취약부위의 실시간 응력을 계산하고 천이 사이클을 카운트하여 크리프 및, 피로수명을 계산하였다. 본 소프트웨어를 개발함으로써 운전이력에 따른 소비수명을 실시간으로 평가하고 운전정보를 기록하여 향후 운전계획, 보수주기 및 교체시기를 결정하는데 지침이 되도록 하였다.
