It is important to obtain real-time data from long-term monitoring of landfills and develop leachate leakage detection system for the integrated management of landfills. A novel real time monitoring system and early leakage detection system was suggested in this study. The suggested monitoring system is composed of two parts; (1) a set of moisture sensors which monitor the areas surrounding the landfill, and (2) a set of moisture and temperature sensors which monitor the landfill inside. For the assessment for landfills stabilization, real-time monitoring system was evaluated in dry and wet cell of pilot-site. In addition, the grid-net electrical conductivity measurement system was also suggested as early leakage detection system. In this study, the field applicability of suggested systems was evaluated through pilot-scale field tests. The results of pilot-scale field model tests indicate that the grid-net electrical conductivity measurement method can be applicable to the detection of landfill leachate at the initial stage of intrusion, and thus has a potential for monitoring leachate leakage at waste landfills.

High temperature superconducting(HTS) power cable is expected to be used for power transmission lines supplying electric power for densely populated cities in the near future. Since HTS power cable is capable of the high current density delivery with low power loss, the cable size can be compact comparing with the conventional cable whose capacity is same. In this paper, the authors propose the real time simulation method which puts a teal HTS wire into the simulated 22.9 kV utility grid system using Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS). For the simulation analysis, test sample of HTS wire was actually manufactured. And the transient phenomenon of the HTS wire was analyzed in the simulated utility power grid. This simulation method is the world first trial in order to obtain much better data for installation of HTS power device into utility network.

Recently, the smart grid has become a hot issue and interest in related power sources have increased accordingly. The implementation of a smart grid can enable many generation resources to be linked to the power system, including small-scale reactors for the purpose of co-generation. Research on small-scale reactors is being carried out all over the world. Similarly, Korea is also conducting research on multi-purpose regional energy systems using nuclear energy. This paper proposes a real-time data acquisition and analysis system for small-scale reactors, and is known as the REX-10 (Regional Energy rX 10 MVA). This analysis requires real-time simulations for the power system since it needs data communication with a remote REX-10. A RTDS (Real Time Digital Simulator) has been used for the simulation, and a SCADA/HMI system interfaced with the RTDS is proposed for the purpose of monitoring and control of the regional energy system.

현재 많은 연구자들이 저비용, 저 전력을 필요로 하는 센서 네트워크를 활용하여 사람의 건강 상태를 실시간으로 모니터링 할 수 있는 u-Healthcare(ubiquitous Healthcare) 시스템을 구축하는데 심혈을 기울이고 있다. u-Healthcare 시스템은 센서 네트워크로부터 수집된 대량의 생체신호를 신속히 처리 분석하여 의료진에게 전달함으로써 시간과 장소에 관계없이 환자에게 적절한 의료 서비스를 제공할 수 있다. 기존의 u-Healthcare 시스템을 통해 환자의 건강상태 모니터링이 가능하지만 수집된 생체 신호를 신속히 분석하여 의학적으로 의미 있는 결과를 도출하는 것은 아직 어려운 상황이다. 본 논문에서는 대량의 생체신호를 고속으로 연산할 수 있는 그리드 컴퓨팅 기술을 센서 네트워크와 결합하여 환자의 생체신호를 측정하여 의학적으로 의미 있는 결과를 도출하고자 한다. 서로 다른 프로토콜을 사용하는 두 네트워크의 연동을 위해 게이트웨이가 필요하며, 게이트웨이에는 효과적인 u-Healthcare서비스 제공을 위해 센서 네트워크의 효율적 관리 및 제어, 생체신호 실시간 모니터링, 그리드 네트워크와 연계된 통신 서비스 등의 기능이 포함되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 진보된 u-Healthcare 시스템을 구축하기 위하여 센서 네트워크와 그리드 네트워크를 유연하게 연동할 수 있는 센서그리드 게이트웨이를 설계하고 구현된 결과를 제시한다.

본 논문은 높은 확장성 및 효율성을 바탕으로 최근 다양한 응용 분야에서 통신 기간망 기술로 주목받고 있는 "무선 메쉬 네트워크"를 스마트 그리드 환경에 적용하는 방안에 대해 다룬다. 스마트 그리드(Smart Grid)란 기존 전력망에 IT 통신기술을 도입하여 실시간으로 전력 정보를 모니터링하고 전력의 흐름을 제어함으로써 에너지 효율을 극대화할 수 있는 "차세대 지능형 전력망"이다. 무선 메쉬 통신망을 스마트 그리드에 적용하기 위해서는 높은 수준의 신뢰성 및 QoS(Quality of Service) 지원이 가능한 동시에 대용량의 전력 관련 데이터를 효율적으로 처리할 수 있어야 한다. 또한 상호 호환성 및 확장성을 고려하여 국제 표준 기반의 설계가 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 요구사항을 만족하기 위하여 IEEE 802.11s 표준 기반의 스마트 그리드 메쉬 네트워크를 제안하고, ns-3 시뮬레이터를 이용한 성능 검증을 통해 그 타당성을 입증하였다. 또한, 무선 메쉬 네트워킹 기술을 스마트 그리드에 적용했을 때 요구되는 주요 연구 주제에 관해 조사하고 개선 방안들을 제시하였다.

자연 현상에서 나타나는 연기나 난류의 움직임을 사실적으로 시뮬레이션하기 위해서는 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 사용할 수 있다. 이 방정식을 이용한 구현은 방대한 연산량과 계산의 복잡성으로 인하여 실시간 시뮬레이션이 어렵다. 실시간 처리를 위해서는 Navier-Stokes 방정식의 관사 형태를 사용하는 것이 일반적이다. 유체 시뮬레이션의 이류(advect) 과정을 근사화하기 위해, Semi-Lagrangian 방법을 이용하면, 연기 시뮬레이션의 경우는 시간이 지남에 따라 밀도가 현저히 줄어들고, 소규모의 소용돌이(small-scale vorticity) 현상 등을 표현하기가 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 이류항(advection term)을 계산하는 새로운 수치해석 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법에서는 이류항의 값을 구할 때, 격자(grid) 중심의 현재 속도에 비례하는 임계영역을 격자 주변에 선정하고, 임계영역 내에 있는 격자들 중에서 현재 격자의 위치로 이류하는 속도를 가진 격자를 추적하여, 그 격자에서의 속도를 현재 격자의 이류속도 벡터로 사용한다. 이는 밀도와 소용돌이 현상의 수치적 소실을 줄여서, 사실성을 높이면서도, 실시간 처리가 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 GPU 구현을 통해 벡터 연산 등의 효율성을 높임으로써, 제안하는 방법의 실시간이 가능함을 보인다.

Analysis and verification of reactive power compensator (RPC) for ITER pulsed power electric network (PPEN) are described in this paper. The RPC system is rated for a nominal power of 250 Mvar necessary to comply with the allowable reactive power limit value from the grid 200 Mvar. This system is currently under construction and is based on static var compensation technology with a thyristor-controlled reactor and a harmonic filter. The RPC minimizes reactive power from grid using prediction of reactive power consumption of AC-DC converters. The feasibility of the reactive power compensation was verified by assembling a real controller and implementing ITER PPEN in the real time digital simulator for the hardware-in-loop facility. When maximum reactive power is reached, grid voltage is stabilized and maximum reactive power decreased from 120 Mvar to 40 Mvar via the reactive power prediction method.

Advanced control algorithms must be used to make wind power generation truly cost effective and reliable. In this study, we develop a new and simple control scheme that employs model predictive control (MPC), which is used in permanent magnet synchronous generators and grid-connected inverters. The proposed control law is based on two points, namely, MPC-based torque-current control loop is used for the generator-side converter to reach the maximum power point of the wind turbine, and MPC-based direct power control loop is used for the grid-side converter to satisfy the grid code and help improve system stability. Moreover, a simple prediction scheme is developed for the direct-drive wind energy conversion system (WECS) to reduce the computation burden for real-time applications. A small-scale WECS laboratory prototype is built and evaluated to verify the validity of the developed control methods. Acceptable results are obtained from the real-time implementation of the proposed MPC methods for WECS.

In this paper, geographic information system(GIS) for an intelligent power distribution network was implemented with location informations acquired from automatic meter reading system, where the location informations of power line communication(PLC) modems installed at customer side were collected at data concentration units(DCUs) of headend equipment via PLC and then were transmitted to front end processor server. By displaying the connection status of the power distribution network on GIS map, operation of advanced metering infrastructure(AMI) or management of power grid system could be performed intuitionally and in real time, because the configuration state of the power grid could be easily monitored. The feasibility of the proposed system was confirmed with the especially constructed laboratory-level test bed and the verification test of the system will be carried out for a real power distribution network.

This paper addresses the output control of a utility-connected double-fed induction machine (DFIM) for wind power generation systems (WPGS). DFIM has a back-to-back converter to control outputs of DFIM driven by the wind turbine for WPGS. To supply commercially the power of WPGS to the grid without any problems related to power quality, the real and reactive powers (PQ) at the stator side of DFIM are strictly controlled at the required level, which in this paper is realized with the Fuzzy PI controller based on the field orientation control. For the Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) converter connected to the rotor side of DFIG to maintain the controllability of PQ at the state side of DFIM, the DC voltage of the DC link capacitor is also controlled at a certain level with the conventional Proportion-Integral (PI) controller of the real power. In addition, the power quality at the grid connected to the rotor side of DFIM through the back-to-back converter is maintained in a certain level with a PI controller of the reactive power. The controllers for the PQ at the stator side of DFIM, the DC link voltage of the back-to-back inverter and the reactive power at the grid connected to the rotor side of DFIM are designed and simulated in the PSIM program, of which the result verifies the performance of the proposed controllers.
