Because of the high increasing rate of load demand these days the necessity of deciding what optimum reserve level is appropriate to most stably supply electricity is being emphasized. This research studies the downward tendency of reserve ratio by analyzing the trend of change of the network scale, reserve, and reserve ratio while optimum reserve has been increased as the network system scale grow up. This means, at this moment 6,000[MW] is optimum level for short term prospect of power supply and demand. And also, it has been analyzed that, as the annual peak load exceeded 50,000[MW], confirming the amount of optimum reserve level is more stable than keeping 10 to 12[%] reserve ratio.

For the optimum design of pile foundations, the determination of allowable load should take both the material strength and the geotechnical characteristics of the site into consideration. Through survey of previous construction records in Korea, it was found that most of the design is overconservative and in some cases the design load was higher than the constructed quality. Proper analysis making use of WEAP and monitoring of pile driving by PDA have been proved to solve most of the prevailing problems. In addition, the time effect in the evaluation of pile bearing capacity has the must significant effect and should not be ignored in the pile design.

In this research, the optimization of composite structures was performed using metamodels. The optimization of composite structures requires a lot of time when optimizing the result of the time-consuming analysis. Thus, metamodels are used to replace the time-consuming analysis with simple models. RSM, kriging and neural networks are widely used metamodels. RSM and kriging were used in this study. The ultimate failure load analysis of the composite structure was approximated by metamodels. The optimizations of the composite plate were performed to maximize ultimate failure load using genetic algorithm and metamodels.

This research is presented for optimizing the coefficients of spring and damper by impact load which is applied to a trailer when the containers are loaded up trailer. The procedure utilize the condition that two containers, initial velocity of container, initial height of container and maximum of suspension stroke. The coefficients of spring and damper are calculated numerically through Newmark method uses finite difference expansions. The procedure of calculation is applied by one DOFs of mass-spring-damper system. The coefficients of spring and damper have large value as increase of height or decrease of stroke. The result of calculation is investigated and is used AGV design.

An upper bound elemental technique(UBET) program has been developed to analyze forging load, die-cavity filling and optimum kinematically admissible velocity fields for flashless forging. The simulation for flashless forgings are applied plane and axisymmetric closed-die forging with rib-web type cavity. The kinematically admissible velocity fields for inverse triangular and inverse trapezoidal elements, are used to analyze flashless forging. Experiments have been carried out with pure plasticine billets at room temperature. Theoretical predictions of the forging load in plane-strain and axisymmetric forging are in good agreement with experimental results.

Two combinatorial optimization algorithms, tabu search and simulated annealing, are presented for the minimum-weight design of geometrically non-linear steel plane frames. The design algorithms obtain minimum weight frames by selecting suitable sections from a standard set of steel sections such as American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) wide-flange (W) shapes. Stress constraints of AISC Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) specification, maximum and interstorey drift constraints and size constraints for columns were imposed on frames. The stress constraints of AISC Allowable Stress Design (ASD) were also mounted in the two algorithms. The comparisons between AISC-LRFD and AISC-ASD specifications were also made while tabu search and simulated annealing were used separately. The algorithms were applied to the optimum design of three frame structures. The designs obtained using tabu search were compared to those where simulated annealing was considered. The comparisons showed that the tabu search algorithm yielded better designs with AISC-LRFD code specification.

In this paper, harmonic-tuning method to achieve the maximum efficiency is proposed. Harmonic tuning method is applied to the optimum load impedance of a class B amplifier, which is extracted by using the modified cripps method. High efficiency power amplifier utilizing GaAs MESFET is designed and fabricated in the 835MHz band. The performance of th eamplifier is presented by having output power of 30.8dBm, drain efficiency of 80.5% and power added efficiency of 66% with an associated power gain of 7.4dB.

The majority of fixed shading devices are installed in the exterior of a building in order to dissipate the heat absorbing from the sun and to prevent the direct sunlight. In designing external shading devices for windows, many requirements must be considered simultaneously; solar geometry, optimum energy performance, multi-purpose usage and design factors etc.. In order Lo satisfy these requirements, we suggests the folding shading device and its optimum design methodology. Also we analyzed the thermal performance using the IES_VE program according to various operating modes and compared with existing shading devices. The results show that proposed device reduce about $1.90{\sim}22.40%$ in cooling load and about $1.09{\sim}24.22%$ in heating load in comparison with existing ones.
