This paper presents a method for optimal dispatch which minimizes transmission losses and improves voltage profile of power systems using genetic algorithm based on the mechanism of natural genetics and natural selection. The constraints are VAR sources(transformer tap, generator voltage magnitude and shunt capacitor/reactor), load bus voltages and generator reactive power. Real variable-based genetic algorithms which can save coding times and maintain the accuracy are applied for optimal dispatch of reactive power. The genes of genetic algorithm consisted of integers for considering discrete VAR sources. A efficient operator for crossover is proposed to consider the effect of close genes. The algorithm proposed can apply to problems for large scale power systems with multi-variables and complex nonlinear functions efficiently. The proposed method is applied to IEEE 30 buses model system to show its effectiveness.

In this study, computer simulation for demand control strategies to save the electric energy and power price in the building central cooling system is done. The demand control and outdoor reset control algorithms are applied by consideration the electric energy and power price according to the energy consumption characteristics. The suggested control methods show better responses in the power price and energy consumption in comparison with the conventional one.

This paper describes a load simulator with power-recovery capability, which is based on the voltage source converter-inverter set. The load simulator described in this paper can save the electric energy that should be consumed to test the operation and performance of the distributed generation system and the power quality compensator. The load simulator consists of a converter-inverter set with a DSP controller for system control and PWM pulse generation. The converter operates as a universal load to model the linear load and the non-linear load, while the inverter feed the energy back to the power source with harmonic compensation. The load simulator can be widely used in the lab to test the performance of the distributed generation system and the power quality compensator.

The purpose of this study was to assess power loss in the computer and office automation equipment and identified a way to save power consumptions through field measurement. In this study, the meaning of standby power was to consume power while waiting for the use of any electronic equipment. This standby consumption was about 11% of total power consumption even though we did not seriously realize it. Therefore, it was very important to measure accurate power consumption at the standby status of electronic equipment. In addition, it also helped to reduce potential risks of electricity associated disasters. This study proposed the way to reduce power losses through automatic turn off switches for power outlets and switches. Finally, this study can evaluate power consumption patterns that can reduce power consumptions and potential risks of power related disasters. This also can achieve the goals of sustainability that can reduce environmental impacts by lowering energy consumptions and greenhouse gas emissions.

IEEE802.11g VoWLAN (Voice over Wireless LAN) 단말기는 802.11b 전용 단말기에 비해 통화시간이 30 % 이상 감소하는 문제점이 있어 통화시간이 문제로 대두되고 있다. 일반적으로, 802.11g에서는 멀티캐리어 방식인 OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 변조방식을 사용하여 54 Mbps속도로 전송하기 때문에 기존의 802.11b MAC (Medium Access Control) 전송방식과 비교하여 통화시간을 만족시키는 것이 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 802.11g 규격을 적용한 단말기에서 통화중 Power Save 방법으로 Holdover Time을 처음으로 제안하므로 통화시간을 만족시킨다. 다만, 통화 단말기 수 증가에 따른 네트워크 혼잡으로 경합 창 (contention window)이 많이 발생하여, Back-off 수 증가로 인한 통화품질(QoS)의 문제가 발생하지만, QoS 해결 방안으로 다운 링크 시 802.11 G.711 Sequence Number를 단말기 MAC 단에서 분석하여 손실율에 따른 Holdover Time을 가변 하는 방법을 제안하므로 이 문제를 해결한다. 802.11b/g 소비전류 분석과 통화 단말기 증가에 따른 네트워크 혼잡에 의한 MAC 파라미터 성능을 분석하며, VQT장비와AiroPeek를 이용하여 실제적인 데이터를 분석한다.

This paper is about the relations between the electric multiple unit and ESS(Energy Storage system, here after) applying bi-direction Buck-Boost Converter. ESS may be possible to suppress the line voltage drops and the power loading fluctuations and to save the regeneration power lapses. This paper confirm for simulation that ESS reusing regenerative power generated during braking in train. Also, presents the influence of regenerative power variation of train and catenary acceptability for energy saving obtained by applying the ESS to Daejeon Metro line 1.

This paper describes a study of major shipyard's electrical network and simulation of applying flywheel energy storage system on the electrical network at shipyard for shore-power to ships and offshore plants in order to save fuel consumption on engines, mitigate voltage sags, and prevent blackout due to pulsed load and fault, resulting in reduction of air emission into atmosphere. The proposed energy recycling method with FESS (Flywheel Energy Storage System) can be applied for electrical power system design of heavy cranes at shipyards.

This paper describes the optimization of maintenance workforce scheduling at Afam power station in Nigeria. The objective is to determine the optimum schedule to satisfy growing maintenance labour requirements with minimum cost and highest efficiency. Three alternative maintenance workforce schedules are compared. The first alternative is to continue with the traditional five-day workweek schedule currently being practiced by Afam power station maintenance line. The second alternative is to switch to a seven-day workweek schedule for the morning shift only. The third alternative is to use a seven-day workweek schedule for all three work shifts. The third alternative is chosen, as it is expected to save 11% of the maintenance labour cost.

The studies on the efficient ventilator to reduce fire and save energy have been proceeded actively. The purpose of this paper is to design a ventilator used in residential wood stove. The ventilator consists of rotation and support part, and it is operated by natural wind without power. The shape of rotation part of the ventilator is like airfoil to reinforce pressure drop. We designed direction controller for the rotation part to track the direction of wind continuously. The rotation and support part have point-contact each other to minimize a friction. We verify the properties of the proposed ventilator though simulation and experiment. The results show the proposed ventilator can exhaust safely combustion gas of the stove more than other ventilator.
