Baekgog reservoir is located in Jincheon county, Chungbuk province, of which full water levels will be heightened from EL. 100.1 m to EL. 102.1 m, and total storages from 21.75 $Mm^3$ to 26.67 $Mm^3$. The simulation for reservoir inflow was conducted by DAWAST model. The annual average irrigation water was estimated to 33.19 $Mm^3$ supplied to 2,975 ha and the instream flows could be allocated with 0.14 mm/d from October to April with annual average of 2.52 $Mm^3$. The operation rule curve was drawn using inflow, irrigation, and instream flow requirements data. The reservoir water storage was simulated on a daily basis in case of both normal and withdrawal limit operation. In case of normal operation, the annual average irrigation water supply increased from 31.95 $Mm^3$ to 33.32 $Mm^3$, the instream water supply from 2.40 $Mm^3$ to 2.44 $Mm^3$, the water storages from 15.74 $Mm^3$ to 19.88 $Mm^3$, and the water supply reliability from 77.3 % to 81.6 %. In case of operation with withdrawal limit, the amount of instream water supply was 2.52 $Mm^3$ from reservoir regardless of the condition while the water storage increased from 16.77 $Mm^3$ to 20.65 $Mm^3$. The irrigation water supply capacity was appropriate for the case of normal operation with 2 m heightened condition. The present instream water supply capacity was 35,000 $m^3$/d (6.86 $Mm^3$/y) while 42,000 $m^3$/d (8.36 $Mm^3$/y) in 2 m heightened condition in case of withdrawal limit operation.

The present work explores the performance and operation limit of electrodialysis cell for HI concentration in sulfur iodine thermochemical hydrogen production process, For this purpose, the electrodialysis cell was assembled with Nafion 117 as a PEM membrane and two activated carbon papers as the electrodes. HIx solution was prepared with composition of HI: $I_2$: $H_2O$ = 1: 0.5~2.5: 5.2 in molar ratio. The cell and its peripheral apparatus were placed in the specially designed convective oven in order to uniformly maintain the operation temperature. As operation temperature increased, the amount of water transport from anode to cathode increased, thus reducing HI molarity in catholyte. Meanwhile, the current efficiency was constant as about 90 %, irrespective of temperature change. The cell voltage increased with initial $I_2$ mole ratio as well as anolyte to catholyte mole ratio. Moreover the cell voltage overshot took place within 10 h cell operation, which is due to the $I_2$ precipitation inside the cell. From the analysis of $I_2$ mole ratio in the anolyte, it is noted that operation limit (in $I_2$ mole ratio) of the electrodialysis cell, arising from was measured to be 3.2, which is much lower than bulk solubility limit of 4.7.

This paper describes the result of a Study for the Optimum Operating method with Spinning reserve in case of outage of large generator unit to improve the system stability and prevent the system frequency drop. This is usually done by governor free operation, so we focused our attention to the operating Char acteristics of spinning reserve. Nexy, a study was made to mesure the upper limit of Spinning reserve and when this upper limit cannot match the required power, a relationship between the amount of spinning reserve and that of the load shedding requirement was searched with regard to several system operating conditions to use it in our future system operation. By this study, the optimum system operating method was recommended for reliable operation of power system.

Nowadays, small scale DGS(Distributed Generation System), as a wind power generation or photovoltaic generation, becomes to be introduced into the power distribution system. But in that case, it is difficult to properly maintain the terminal voltage of low voltage customers. So, it is necessary to determine the permissible operation limit of the introduced DGS for proper voltage in distribution system. In this paper computes permissible operation limit of DGS when the DGS is connected to power distribution system using fixed tap(without LDC operation). For this simulation, KEPCO distribution system is used.

The Westinghouse OT$\Delta$T DNB protection logic heavily restricts the operation region by applying the same logic for a full range of operating pressure in order to maintain its simplicity. In this work, a fuzzy neural network method is used to estimate the DNB protection limit using the measured average temperature and pressure of a reactor core. Fuzzy system parameters are optimized by a hybrid learning method. This algorithm uses a gradient descent algorithm to optimize the antecedent parameters and a least-squares algorithm to solve the consequent parameters. The proposed method is applied to Yonggwang 3&4 nuclear power plants and the proposed method has 5.99 percent larger thermal margin than the conventional OT$\Delta$T trip logic. This simple algorithm provides a good information for the nuclear power plant operation and diagnosis by estimating the DNB protection limit each time step.

A power limiting algorithm is proposed for stable operation of grid-connected inverter in case of grid voltage unbalance considering the operation limit of inverter. During the voltage unbalance the control performance of Inverter. is degraded and the output power contains 120Hz ripple due to the negative sequence of voltage. In this paper, conventional dual sequence current controller is implemented to solve these problems using separated control of positive and negative sequence. Especially the maximum power limit which guarantees the maximum rated current of the inverter is automatically calculated as the instant grid voltage changes. As soon as the voltage recovers the proposed algorithm can return to the normal power control mode accomplishing low voltage ride through. Proposed algorithm is verifed using PSCAD/EMTDC simulations and tested experimentally at 4.4kW wind turbine simulator set-up.

The recent increase in earthquake activities has highlighted the importance of seismic performance evaluation for civil infrastructures. In particular, the container crane essential to maintaining the national logistics system with port operation requires an exact evaluation of its seismic response. Thus, this study aims to assess the seismic vulnerability of container cranes considering their seismic characteristics. The seismic response of the container crane should account for the structural members' yielding and buckling, as well as the crane wheel's uplifting derailment in operation. The crane's yielding and buckling limit states were defined using the stress of crane members based on the load and displacement curve obtained from nonlinear static analysis. The derailment limit state was based on the height of the rail, and nonlinear dynamic analysis was performed to obtain the seismic fragility curves considering defined limit states and seismic characteristics. The yield and derailment probabilities of the crane in the near-fault ground motion were approximately 1.5 to 4.7 and 2.8 to 6.8 times higher, respectively, than those in the far-fault ground motion.
