As an essential prerequisite for systematic and integrated management of river water, it is necessary to secure the basic data such as discharge supplied to the river and released from the river. Under the current permit system for river water use, 59.1% of licensed facilities were found to have no discharge meters in 2017, especially for agricultural water, which makes it difficult to secure reliable data as a large portion of the reports are voluntarily reported by users. In this study, the indirect discharge measurement method of calculating the discharge through the power usage of the pumping station was applied to secure reliable discharge data. In particular, focusing on the fact that the discharge calculated by the power usage method differed with the actual discharge according to the level of the river, the study was conducted on improving the power usage method reflecting the river water level and improving the accuracy of discharge data. Analysis of the discharge calculated using the power usage method considering river water level using the correlation analysis method such as regression analysis, percent difference, root mean square error etc. confirmed that the results are not high compared to the conventional power usage method, but are slightly more approximated to the actual discharge. Therefore, although reliable discharge data can be obtained from the existing power usage method, it is expected that more accurate data on intaking water of river water can be obtained if the improved power usage method is used at points where the variation in the water level of the river is large.

In many countries, the electric power industry is undergoing significant changes known as deregulation and restructuring. These alterations introduce competition in generation and retail and require open access to the transmission network. The competition of the electric power industry causes many issues to surface. Among them, unbundling of the transmission service is probably the most complicated as it is a single and integrated sector and the transmission revenue requirement must be allocated to market participants in a fair way. In these situations, it is valuable to research the methodologies to allocate transmission usage. The power tracing method offers useful information such as which generators supply a particular load or how much each generator (load) uses a particular transmission line. With this information, we can allocate required transmission revenue to market participants. Recently, several algorithms were proposed for tracing power flow but there is no dominant power tracing method. This paper proposes a power tracing method based on graph theory and complex-current distribution. For practicability, the proposed method for transmission usage allocation is applied to IEEE 30 buses and compared with the method proposed by Felix F.Wu.

This paper addresses the load usage scheduling in the HEMS for residential power consumers. The HEMS would lead the residential users to change their power usage, so as to minimize the cost in response to external information such as a time-varying electricity price, the outside temperature. However, there may be a consumer's inconvenience in the change of the power usage. In order to improve this, it is required to understand the pattern of load usage according to the external information. Therefore, this paper suggests a methodology to model the load usage pattern, which classifies home appliances according to external information affecting the load usage and models the usage pattern for each appliance based on a copula function representing the correlation between variables. The modeled pattern would be reflected as a constraint condition for an optimal load usage scheduling problem in HEMS. To explain an application of the methodology, a case study is performed on an electrical water heater (EWH) and an optimal load usage scheduling for EHW is performed based on the branch-and-bound method. From the case study, it is shown that the load usage pattern can contribute to an efficient power consumption.

In this paper, to expand the use of standalone street lights, an algorithm for controlling LED energy consumption was proposed. The proposed method uses an LED module of a standalone street light divided into n zones. This is a method of reducing total power consumption by preventing the increase in power consumption due to high heat generation by weakly operating the entire LED according to the illuminance. When the amount of sunlight decreases, the whole LED operates weakly and then brightens, and unlike streetlight that act as streetlight, a method of dividing LEDs by area and limiting the number of LEDs operating according to illumination intensity was proposed. This is a way to use a lot of time with limited battery capacity by reducing the generation of heat that consumes the most power in streetlight. It is also a method of continuously changing the initial usage area to improve the total usage time of the LED substrate. As a result of the experiment, it was found that the proposed method extends the service time because it generates less heat than the conventional stand-alone streetlight.

The non-intrusive load monitoring(NILM) algorithm can infer the power usage of the individual electric devices by the total electric power consumption of the main line. To develop such an algorithm, power usage pattern data of individual devices as well as those of various combinations of these devices are required. In this paper, we propose a method to develop a power usage pattern data acquisition system for developing a NILM algorithm for a smart farm. The data acquisition system is capable of simultaneously measuring the power usage of individual electrical devices and the power usage according to various combinations of scenarios every second. The measured data can be remotely monitored from the outside of the smart farm through the LTE network, and the measured data is stored in an external server.

For memory products, it is very important to develop a new production line as soon as possible. All products are inspected to get rid of defected products at the last testing stage. Those inspection data are called FCM. In this paper, based on the FCM data, Area Usage Factor (AUF) analyzing method will be proposed. Process engineers can make up their mind to which direction they should concentrate their analyzing power.

Recently with smart phones and tablets, next generation mobile communication systems have supported various multimedia contents services. Thus, multimedia communication systems have been gradually increased compared to voice communication systems. Since the growth of multimedia services has increased users' duration on systems and decreased systems' effectiveness on power, a study on effective usage of power needs to be researched. Furthermore, radio shadow areas under heavy urban environments have generated unnecessary power consumption which reduces the usage duration of power on next generation mobile communication systems. This paper has reviewed the communication network architecture on next generation mobile communication systems and the unnecessary power consumption in radio shadow areas. This paper has also proposed the method of the effective power usage and analyzed the effective power usage on next generation mobile communication systems with simulation.

This paper introduces a sequential clustering technique as a tool for an effective grouping of transmission systems. The interconnected network system retains information about the location of each line. With this information, this paper aims to carry out initial clustering through the transmission usage rate, compare the similarity measures of regional information with the similarity measures of location price, and introduce the techniques of the clustering method. This transmission usage rate uses power flow based on congestion costs and similarity measurements using the FCM(Fuzzy C-Mean) algorithm. This paper also aims to prove the propriety of the proposed clustering method by comparing it with existing clustering methods that use the similarity measurement system. The proposed algorithm is demonstrated through the IEEE 39-bus RTS and Korea power system.
