Primary frequency control(PFC) has the ability to regulate short period random variations of frequency during normal operation conditions and also to respond rapidly to emergencies. However, during the past decade, numerous significant sized blackouts occurred worldwide that resulted in serious economic losses. Therefore, the conclusion has been reached that the ability of the current PFC to meet an emergency is poor, and security of power systems should be improved. An alternative to enhance the PFC and thus security is to store excessive amounts of energy during off-peak load periods in efficient energy storage systems for substituting the primary control reserve. In this sense, superconducting magnetic energy storage(SMES) in combination with a static synchronous compensator(STATCOM) is capable of supplying power systems with both active and reactive powers simultaneously and very rapidly, and thus is able to enhance the security dramatically. In this paper, a new concept of PFC based on incorporating a STATCOM-SMES is presented. A complete detailed model is proposed and a new control scheme is designed, comprising an enhanced frequency control scheme, and a fully decoupled current control strategy in d-q coordinates with a novel controller to prevent dc bus capacitors voltage drift/imbalance. The performance of the proposed control schemes is validated through digital simulation carried out using MATLAB/Simulink.

This paper presents a finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) strategy for the AC/DC matrix converter used in grid-connected battery energy storage system (BESS). First, to control the grid current properly, the DC current is also included in the cost function because of input and output direct coupling. The DC current reference is generated based on the dynamic relationship of the two currents, so the grid current gains improved transient state performance. Furthermore, the steady state error is reduced by adding a closed-loop. Second, a Luenberger observer is adopted to detect the AC input voltage instead of sensors, so the cost is reduced and the reliability can be enhanced. Third, a switching state pre-selection method that only needs to evaluate half of the active switching states is presented, with the advantages of shorter calculation time, no high dv/dt at the DC terminal, and less switching loss. The robustness under grid voltage distortion and parameter sensibility are discussed as well. Simulation and experimental results confirm the good performance of the proposed scheme for battery charging and discharging control.

An optimal control of an air-conditioning system with slab thermal storage is investigated by making use of the Maximum Principle. An optimal heat input to a plenum chamber and an air-conditioned room is determined by minimizing a criterion function which is given as integral sum of two terms. The first term is the square of the deviation in the room air temperature from the set-point value, and the second is the absolute value of the heat input. The result indicates that it tries to keep a room air temperature in set-point value by heating as much as possible at the time of a setup of a room air temperature or just before that, in order to avoid a heat loss arising at the time of the non-air conditioning. The result is compared with that of the case when the square of the heat input is used as a criterion.

Natural graphite is obtained from an abandoned open-cast mine and purified by a simple, eco-friendly and affordable beneficiation process including ball milling and flotation process. Both raw graphite (55 wt %) and its concentrate (85 wt %) were electrochemically tested in order to evaluate these materials as anode materials for Li-ion and Na-ion batteries. It was found that both raw and purified graphites exhibit good electrochemical activities with respect to lithium and sodium ions through completely different reaction mechanisms. The encouraging results demonstrated in this work suggest that both raw and graphite concentrates after flotation could be used respectively for stationary and embedded applications. This strategy would help in developing local electrical storage systems with a significantly low environmental footprint.

Zn-ion supercapacitors (ZICs) show high energy densities with long cycling life for use in electronic devices. Porous Zn electrodes as anodes for ZICs are fabricated by chemical etching process using optimized conditions. The structures, morphologies, chemical bonding states, porous structure, and electrochemical behavior are examined. The optimized porous Zn electrode shows a root mean square of roughness of 173 nm and high surface area of $153{\mu}m^2$. As a result, ZIC using the optimized porous Zn electrode presents excellent electrochemical performance with high specific capacitance of $399F\;g^{-1}$ at current density of $0.5A\;g^{-1}$, high-rate performance ($79F\;g^{-1}$ at a current density of $10.0A\;g^{-1}$), and outstanding cycling stability (99 % after 1,500 cycles). The development of energy storage performance using synergistic effects of high roughness and high surface area is due to increased electroactive sites by surface functionalization of Zn electrode. Thus, our strategy will lead to a rational design and contribute to next-generation supercapacitors in the near future.

Cloud Storage is the primary component of many businesses on cloud. Majority of the enterprises today are adopting a multicloud strategy to keep away from vendor lock-in and to optimize cost. Auditing schemes are used to ascertain the integrity of cloud data. Of these schemes, only the Provable Data Possession schemes (PDP) are resilient to key-exposure. These PDP schemes are devised using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI-) based cryptography, Identity-based cryptography, etc. PKI-based systems suffer from certificate-related communication/computational complexities. The Identity-based schemes deal with the exposure of only the auditing secret key (audit key). But with the exposure of both the audit key and the secret key used to update the audit key, the auditing process itself becomes a complete failure. So, an Identity-based PDP scheme with Parallel Key-Insulation is proposed for multiple cloud storage. It reduces the risk of exposure of both the audit key and the secret key used to update the audit key. It preserves the data privacy from the Third Party Auditor, secure against malicious Cloud Service Providers and facilitates batch auditing. The resilience to key-exposure is proved using the CDH assumption. Compared to the existing Identity-based multicloud schemes, it is efficient in integrity verification.

Owing to its low cost, easy fabrication process, and good ionic properties, aqueous supercapacitors are under strong consideration as next-generation energy storage devices. However, the limitation of the current collector is its poor electrochemical stability, leading to low energy storage performance. Therefore, a reasonable design of the current collector and the acidic electrolyte is a necessary, as well as interfacial engineering to enhance the electrochemical performance. In the present study, graphite foil, with excellent electrochemical stability and good electrical properties, is suggested as a current collector of aqueous supercapacitors. This strategy results in excellent electrochemical performance, including a high specific capacitance of 215 F g^-1 at a current density of 0.1 A g^-1, a superior high-rate performance (104 F g^-1 at a current density of 20.0 A g^-1), and a remarkable cycling stability of 98 % at a current density of 10.0 A g^-1 after 9,000 cycles. The superior energy storage performance is mainly ascribed to the improved ionic diffusion ability during cycling.

플래시 메모리는 오늘날 다양한 형태로 우리 생활의 일부를 차지하고 있다. 이동식 저장매체, 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경과 휴대전화기, MP3플레이어, 개인정보단말기(PDA) 등의 모바일 제품 등에 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 이처럼 많은 분야에서 사용되는 주된 이유는 플래시 메모리가 저전력, 비휘발성, 고성능, 물리적 안정성, 휴대성 등의 장점을 갖기 때문이다. 더불어 최근에는 기가바이트급 플래시 메모리도 개발되어 하드디스크의 자리를 대체할 수 있는 상황에 이르렀다. 하지만, 플래시 메모리는 하드디스크와 달리 이미 데이타가 기록된 섹터에 대해 덮어쓰기가 되지 않는다는 특성을 갖고 있다. 데이타를 덮어쓰기 위해서는 해당 섹터가 포함된 블록을 지우고(소거) 쓰기 작업을 수행해야 한다. 이로 인해 플래시 메모리의 데이타 읽기/쓰기/소거에 비용이 하드 디스크와 같이 동일한 것이 아니라 각각 다르다[1][5][6]. 이러한 특성이 고려되지 않은 기존의 OS, DBMS 등과 같은 시스템 소프트웨어에서 사용되는 교체 기법은 플래시 메모리 상에서 비효율성을 가질 수 있다. 그러므로 플래시 메모리상에서는 플래시 메모리의 특성을 고려한 효율적인 버퍼 교체 기법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 플래시 메모리의 특성을 고려한 버퍼 페이지 교체기법을 제안하며, 제안된 기법과 기존 기법들과의 성능 평가를 수행한다. 지프분포와 실제 워크로드를 사용한 성능평가는 플래시 메모리의 특성을 고려한 버퍼 페이지 교체 기법의 필요성을 입증한다.

본 연구는 북한의 과거 토지이용 변화의 경향성을 반영한 토지이용 변화 시나리오에 따라 2050년까지의 탄소저장량 변화를 평가하였다. 토지이용 변화 시나리오는 과거 시점의 상태로부터 현 상태를 예측할 수 있는 CA-Markov 모델링을 통해 구축하였으며, 이를 위해 북한 산림복원을 위한 대내·외 노력이 시도된 2010년 전후의 토지이용 공간정보를 통해 추정한 토지이용 유형별 변화 경향성을 활용하였다. 이를 통해 산림황폐화(non-reforestation)와 산림복원(reforestation) 시나리오를 마련하였으며, 토지이용 변화에 따른 북한 탄소저장량 변화를 평가하였다. 북한의 토지이용 유형별 탄소저장량은 우리나라를 대상으로 수행된 연구문헌 조사를 통해 도심지, 산림, 농경지, 초지, 나지의 지상부, 지하부, 토양, 기타 유기물에 대한 추정값을 적용하였다. 북한을 대상으로한 대내·외 산림복원 노력은 2050년의 탄소저장량을 2020년 대비 4.4% 증진시킬 수 있는 잠재력을 지닐 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 산림복원의 노력없이 황폐화가 지속된다면 2050년 탄소저장량은 2020년 대비 11.5% 감소할 것으로 예측되었다. 이에 따라 북한의 탄소저장량 증진을 위해서 대내·외의 지속적인 노력이 매우 중요할 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 장기적으로 북한의 산림복원을 위한 노력과 협력을 추진됨에 있어 본 연구에서 제시하는 결과가 기여할 수 있길 기대한다.
