The terrorist attacks and dangers by bomb blast have turned into an emerging issue throughout the world and the protection of the people and structures against terrorist acts depends on the prediction of the response of structures under blast and shock load. In this paper, behavior of aluminum and unidirectionally reinforced E-Glass Epoxy composite plates with and without focal circular holes subjected to shock loading has been identified. For isotropic and orthotropic plates (with and without holes) the classical normal mode approach has been utilized as a part of the processing of theoretical results. To obtain the accurate results, convergence of the results was considered and a number of modes were selected for plate with and without hole individually. Using a shock tube as a loading device, tests have been conducted to composite plates to verify the theoretical results. Moreover, peak dynamic strains, investigated by experiments are also compared with the theoretical values and deviation of the results are discussed accordingly. The strain-time histories are likewise indicated for a specific gauge area for aluminum and composite plates. Comparison of dynamic-amplification factors between the isotropic and the orthotropic plates with and without hole has been discussed.

PURPOSES : Although signalized intersections have been considered the best way to control traffic volume in urban areas for several decades, roundabouts are currently being discussed as an alternative way to control traffic volume, especially when traffic is light. Because a roundabout's efficiency depends on the load geometry as well as the traffic volume, design guidelines for roundabouts are recommended only if the incoming traffic volume is very low. It is rare to substitute a roundabout for an existing signalized intersection in urban areas. This study aims to estimate the benefits from the transformation of an existing signalized intersection into a roundabout in an urban area. When there is a more moderate volume of traffic, roundabouts can be effectively used by optimizing signals located at an approaching roadway. METHODS : The methodologies of this paper are as follows: First, a signalized intersection was analyzed to determine the traffic characteristics. Second, the signalized intersection was transformed into a roundabout using VISSIM microscopic traffic simulation. Then, we estimated and analyzed the effects and the performance of the roundabout. In addition, we adjusted a method to improve the benefits of the transformation via the optimization of signals located at an approaching road to control the incoming traffic volume. RESULTS : The results of this research are as follows: The signal-optimized roundabout improved delays compared with the signalized intersection during the morning peak hour, non-peak hour, and evening peak hour by 1.78%, 12.45%, and 12.72%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS : According to the simulation results of each scenarios, the signal-optimized roundabout had less delay time than the signalized intersection. If optimized signal control algorithms are installed in roundabouts in the future, this will lead to more efficient traffic management.

This paper presents a methodology for satisfying the thermal comfort of Indoor environment and reducing the summer peak demand power by minimizing the power consumption for an Air-conditioner within a space. KEPCO(Korea Electric Power Corporation) use the fixed duty cycle control method regardless of the indoor thermal environment. This method has disadvantages that energy saying depends on the set-point value of the Air-Conditioner and DLC has no net effects on Air-conditioners if the appliance has a lower operating cycle than the fixed duty cycle. A variable duty cycle estimates the PMV(Predict Mean Vote) at the next step with a predicted temperature and humidity coming from the back propagation neural network model. It is possible to reduce the energy consumption by maintaining the Air-conditioner's OFF state when the PMV lies in the thermal comfort range. The proposed methodology uses the historical real data of Sep. 7th, 2001 from a classroom in seoul to verify the effectiveness of the variable duty cycle method comparing with fixed duty cycle. The result shows that the variable duty cycle reduces the peak demand to 2.6times more than fixed duty cycle and increases the load control ratio by 8% more. Based on the variable duty cycle control algorithm, the effectiveness of DLC is much more improved as compared with the fixed duty cycle.

According to the recent increase in the height of supertall buildings, construction lift became one of most important equipment for vertical transportation of resources. However, increase in lifting load during peak time in which the resources are concentrated often causes a risk of construction delay. This study suggests a concept of Double-Cage construction lift, which is a lift with two cages attached together allowing transportation of resources on two consecutive work floors simultaneously. The aim of this study is to present a simulation model suitable for calculating hoisting time of Double-Cage construction lift. The proposed model is expected to be utilized when applying Double-cage construction lift for its efficient operation and management.

South Korea is recently under serious situation in supplying electricity with enough power reserve. A single fault of power plant at a peak-load time may lead to a total blackout for whole area connected by a single electric grid and isolated from other grids. Despite of the seriousness of blackout, however, there are scarce studies with ex-ante analysis of the economic costs from blackout. In order to evocate the seriousness, we calculate the economic costs for both industrial and household sectors with using some survey data and statistical methodologies. As a result, total economic costs are 39.23 trillion KRW (35.83 trillion KRW for industrial sector, 3.40 trillion KRW for household sector).

최근 공공건물, 중대형 건물 등에서 전력 피크 시간대에 또는 안정적인 전력공급을 위해 사용할 에너지를 저장하는 방법으로 ESS 를 채택하고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 ESS 의 상태를 모니터링하기 위해서는 별도의 PC 에 소프트웨어를 설치하거나, EMS(Energy Management System)와 같은 별도의 솔루션의 한 기능으로 확인할 수 있다. 이럴 경우, 소프트웨어가 설치되어 있지 않은 현장에서 확인이 어렵고, 자연방전이 일어난 경우 과방전의 가능성도 배제할 수 없다. 따라서 ESS 의 랙 내부에 LCD 화면을 탑재하여 ESS 독립적으로도 상태를 확인할 수 있도록 모니터링 시스템을 개발하였다. 본 연구의 ESS 모니터링 시스템은 ESS 의 안전성올 높이고, 보다 직관적으로 ESS 의 상태를 확인할 수 있도록 구현 하였다.

수요관리와 정전에 대한 비상전원 기능을 갖춘 하이브리드 전력저장시스템으로 비상발전설비가 필요한 빌딩 및 공장건축 시에 투자비를 최소화하고, 상시 전력비를 절감함으로서 경제성을 확보할 수 있 기술을 개발함으로써 새로운 비즈니스 모델을 제시한다. 평상시에 STS(Static Transfer Switch)를 통해 부하에 계통 전력을 공급하고 PCS는 계통에 병렬로 연계되어 수요관리를 수행한다. EMS는 수요예측을 통한 전력의 효율적 운용을 위해 ESS에 충방전 지령을 PMS(Power Management System)로 하달하고 PMS는 다시 PCS 제어기로 지령을 전달하여 시스템을 운용한다. 정전시에는 STS가 계통으로부터 빠르게 이탈되면서 PCS는 독립 전원이 되어 부하 측에 정전압/정주파수의 전력을 공급할수 있는 구조이다. 따라서 하이브리드 ESS에 대한 실 계통 연계 및 독립 운전 성능 검증을 통한 신뢰성을 확보할수 있고, 저탄소 녹색성장 기술의 효율적 전력망과 연계 운영이 가능하게 함으로써 ESS 연계를 통한 신재생에너지 발전에 의한 불규칙한 전력 품질개선, 피크부하 기여도 제고가 가능하다. 또한 현재 석탄 화력이 담당하고 있는 주파수추종 예비력을 ESS로 대체함에 따라 연료비가 높은 LNG 발전기 가동비용을 절감할 수 있는 기대효과가 있다.

The efficient electric power demand management in electric power supply industry is currently being changed by distributed generation. Meanwhile, small-scale distributed generation systems using renewable energy are being constructed worldwide. Several small-scale renewable distributed generation systems, which can supply electricity to the grid at peak load of the grid as per policy such as demand response programs, could help in the stability of the electric power demand management. In this case, the power quality of the small-scale renewable distributed generation system is more significant. Low prices of power semiconductors and multilevel inverters with high power quality have been recently investigated. However, the conventional multilevel inverter topology is unsuitable for the small-scale renewable distributed generation system, because the number of devices of such topology increases with increasing output voltage level. In this paper, a single-phase multilevel inverter based on H-bridge, with DC_Link divided by bi-directional switches, is proposed. The proposed topology has almost half the number of devices of the conventional multilevel inverter topology when these inverters have the same output voltage level. Double Fourier series solution is mainly used when comparing PWM output harmonic components of various inverter topologies. Harmonic components of the proposed multilevel inverter, which have been analyzed by double Fourier series, are compared with those of the conventional multilevel inverter. An inverter prototype is then developed to verify the validity of the theoretical analysis.
