ln this paper, a method by which penalty factors of all generators including slack bus can be directly derived is presented. With a simple re-assignment of angle reference bus to a bus where no generation exists, penalty factors for slack bus is obtained without any physical assumption. While previous Jacobian-based techniques for generator penalty factor calculation have been derived with basis upon reference bus, proposed method are not dependent on reference bus and calculated penalty factors can be substituted directly into the general ELD equation to compute the economic dispatch. Equations for system loss sensitivity, penalty factors and optimal generation allocation are solved simultaneously in normal power flow computation.

Optimization problems may be devided into geometry optimization problems and topology optimization problems. In this paper, a method using tile equivalent material properties prediction techniques of a particulate-reinforced composites is proposed for the topology optimization. This method makes use of penalty factor in order that regions with intermediate value of design variables can be penalized. The computational results being obtained from PLBA algorithm of some values of penalty factor are presented.

Various problems such as increase of power loss and voltage instability may often occur in the case of low load power factor. The demand of reactive power increases continuously with the growth of active power and restructuring of electric power companies makes the comprehensive management of reactive power a troublesome problem, so that the systematic control of load power factor is required. In this paper, the load power factor sensitivity of generation cost is derived and it is used for effectively determining the locations of reactive power compensation devices and for enhancing the load power factor appropriately. In addition, voltage variation penalty cost is introduced and integrated costs including voltage variation penalty cost are used for determining the value of load power factor from the point of view of economic investment and voltage regulation. It is shown through application to a large-scale power system that the load power factor can be enhanced effectively using the load power factor sensitivity and the integrated cost.

In this study, we propose a three-dimensional simplified slope stability analysis using a hybrid-type penalty method (HPM). In this method, a solid element obtained by the HPM is applied to a column that divides the slope into a lattice. Therefore, it can obtain a safety factor in the same way as simplified methods on the slip surface. Furthermore, it can obtain results (displacement and strain) that cannot be obtained by conventional limit equilibrium methods such as the Hovland method. The continuity condition of displacement between adjacent columns and between elements for each depth is considered to incorporate a penalty function and the relative displacement. For a slip surface between the bottom surface and the boundary condition to express the slip of slope, we introduce a penalty function based on the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion. To compute the state of the slip surface, an r-min method is used in the load incremental method. Using the result of the simple three-dimensional slope stability analysis, we obtain a safety factor that is the same as the conventional method. Furthermore, the movement of the slope was calculated quantitatively and qualitatively because the displacement and strain of each element are obtained.

This paper proposes penalty factor equations that take into consideration the weld strength over-match given in the classified form similar to the revised equations presented in the Code Case N-779 via cyclic elastic-plastic finite element analysis. It was found that the $K_e$ analysis data reflecting elastic follow-up can be consolidated by normalizing the primary-plus-secondary stress intensity ranges excluding the nonlinear thermal stress intensity component, $S_n$ to over-match degree of yield strength, $M_F$. For the effect of over-match on $K_n{\times}K_{\nu}$, dispersion of the $K_n{\times}K_{\nu}$ analysis data can be sharply reduced by dividing total stress intensity range, excluding local thermal stresses, $S_{p-lt}$ by $M_F$. Finally, the proposed equations were applied to the weld between the safe end and the piping of a pressurizer surge nozzle in pressurized water reactors in order to calculate a cumulative usage factor. The cumulative usage factor was then compared with those derived by the previous $K_e$ factor equations. The result shows that application of the proposed equations can significantly reduce conservatism of fatigue assessment using the previous $K_e$ factor equations.

This study conducted a research as to condensation heat transfer friction loss headby using three types of flat micro multi-channel tubes with different processing of micro-fin and number of channels inside the pipes and different sizes of appearances. In addition, identical studies were conducted by using smoothing circular tubes with 5mm external diameter to study heat enhancement factor and pressure drop penalty factor. 1) The friction head loss showed an increase as the vapor quality and mass flux increased. In case of saturation temperature, it shows an increase as it gets lower. These factors are the reason occurring as the lower the saturation temperature is, the higher the density of refrigerant vapor gets. The influence of heat flux is similar as the dryness is low, but as it gets higher, it lowers in heat flux, and as the high temperature of high heat flux, it is a factor that occurs as the density gets lower. 2) RMS error of the in case of friction head loss, it showed to be predicted as 0.45~0.67 by Chisholm, Friedel, Lockhart and Martinelli. 3) As forfriction head loss penalty factor, the smaller the aspect ratio is, the larger the penalty factor gets, and as for the effect of micro-fin, the penalty factor increased because it decreases to the gas fluid the way groove for the refrigerant's flow.

In this paper, a new method for calculating the penalty factors of all generators including the slack bus is presented. A simple transposition of the angle reference, from the conventional slack bus to another bus where no generation exists, enables the derivation of the loss sensitivity of the slack bus. Penalty factors are obtained without any physical assumption through a simple substitution of the bus loss sensitivities. Penalty factors calculated by proposed method are not dependent on reference bus and can also be directly substituted into the general ELD equation for computing the optimal dispatch. Equations for loss sensitivities, Penalty factors and ELD are calculated simultaneously in normal power flow computation. A case study on a test system has proved the effectiveness of the proposed' angle reference transposition' method.

Experiments on the single phase cooling heat transfer and pressure drop with microfin tubes were performed using water as a test fluid. Experimental data were obtained in the range of Reynolds number 3000 ~40000 and Prandtl number 4-6. The data of microfin tubes presented the characteristics of rough surface tube in pressure drop and heat transfer Experimental data were compared with the heat transfer and friction factor correlations of smooth tubes. Heat transfer enhancements of microfin tubes were lower than pressure drop penalty factors. The helix angle is more significant parameter in both of the pressure drop and heat transfer than the relative roughness. The correlations of Nusselt number and friction factor were suggested for the tested microfin tubes. Maximum deviations between correlations and experimental data were within $\pm15$% for Nusselt number and $\pm10$% for friction factor.

The purpose of the study is to analyze the factors which cause the deviations of e-piracy. For this, empirical data were collected by conducing a field survey with a total of 531 collegians, and a Structural Equation Model was used for the purpose of analyzing the data acquired by that. A Structural Equation Model was designed and constructed by such factors as Anonymous Environment, Norm-Consciousness, and Recognition on Penalty, which are considered as the direct variables. In addition, the factor of Anonymous Environment was set as a variable for the factors of both Norm-Consciouness and Recoginition on Penalty. These are the results of the analysis; it is found that Anonymous Environment is the direct cause of e-piracy, but the other two factors are not statistically significant. And it is also found that Anonymous Environment gives a direct influence on the other factors of Norm-Consciousness and Recognition on Penalty and it also gives indirect influence on the factor of Recognition on Penalty by means of the factor of Norm-Consciousness. Therefore, in order to prevent e-piracy, it is required to provide the proper opportunity to be trained to observe norms under the environment of anonymity. For this, diverse and effectual teaching methods for information ethic education should be sought.
