The introduction of competition in the generation of electricity has raised the fundamental question of whether markets provide the right incentives for the provision of the capacity needed to maintain system reliability. Capacity mechanisms are adopted around the world to guarantee appropriate level of investment in electricity generation capacity. In this study, we discuss these approaches and analyze the capacity pricing mechanisms from the adequacy perspective. We conclude that the design of capacity mechanism is very important to decrease electricity spot price and increase total electric capacity. Specifically, the constant of capacity pricing mechanism made a difference to the performance of electricity market. However, the slope of capacity price mechanism is better than the constant of that in improving performance of electricity market.

These days, a penetration of distributed generation(DG) has increased in power system. Due to increased penetration of DG, a whole system is forced to install the maximum hosting capacity of DG. Therefore analysis between the maximum hosting capacity of DG at the target bus and the whole system is important. If we know the maximum hosting capacity, it will be able to satisfy the demand of system planner and customer. In this paper, we use a genetic algorithm to calculate the hosting capacity with optimization program using Design Analysis Kit for Optimization and Terascale Applications(DAKOTA). To consider a real system, we establish constraints and use IEEE 34 node test system. In addition, through the correlation coefficient between the target bus and the other buses, when capacity of DG at the target bus increases, we analyze which capacity of DG at the other buses will be decreased.

There are various method for the LEV(Low Emission Vehicle) regulation, but 2-catalyst system using one catalyst near exhaust manifold and another catalyst underfloor, is the most popular. This system uses the proven catalyst technology and doesn't use energy. But it is difficult to determine capacity of the two catalysts. So an optimization method to determine the capacity has been proposed by other researcher. It uses the fact that emission decreases with capacity increasing, but the decreasing ratio slows down in high capacity range. It means that the emission and capacity of catalyst is exponentially decreasing relation. In this paper this method will be verified with various experiments. And this method was proven to be very useful to determine the capacity of two catalysts system.

This paper proposes a new method for evaluating Effective Load Carrying Capability(ELCC) and capacity credit(C.C.) of power system including Wind Turbine Generator(WTG) combined with Battery Energy Storage System(BESS). WTG can only generate electricity power when the fuel(wind) is available. Because of fluctuation of wind speed, WTG generates intermittent power. In view point of reliability of power system, intermittent power of WTG is similar with probabilistic characteristics based on power on-off due to mechanical availability of conventional generator. Therefore, high penetration of WTG will occur difficulties in power operation. The high penetration of numerous and large capacity WTG can make risk to power system adequacy, quality and stability. Therefore, the penetration of WTG is limited in the world. In recent, it is expected that BESS installed at wind farms may smooth the wind power fluctuation. This study develops a new method to assess how much is penetration of WTG able to extended when Wind Turbine Generator(WTG) is combined with Battery Energy Storage System(BESS). In this paper, the assessment equation of capacity credit of WTG combined with BESS is formulated newly. The simulation program, is called GNRL_ESS, is developed in this study. This paper demonstrates a various case studies of ELCC and capacity credit(C.C.) of power system containing WTG combined with BESS using model system as similar as Jeju island power system. The case studies demonstrate that not only reasonable BESS capacity for a WTG but also permissible penetration percent of WTG combined with BESS and reasonable WTG capacity for a BESS can be decided.

In order to provide a novel strategy for long-span bridge health monitoring system design, this paper proposes a novel ultimate bearing capacity ratios based bridge internal force monitoring design method. The bridge ultimate bearing capacity analysis theories are briefly described. Then, based on the ultimate bearing capacity of the structural component, the component ultimate bearing capacity ratio, the uniformity of ultimate bearing capacity ratio, and the reference of component ultimate bearing capacity ratio are defined. Based on the defined indices, the high bearing components can then be found, and the internal force monitoring system can be designed. Finally, the proposed method is applied to the bridge health monitoring system design of the second highway bridge of Wuhu Yangtze river. Through the ultimate bearing capacity analysis of the bridge in eight load conditions, the high bearing components are found based on the proposed method. The bridge internal force monitoring system is then preliminary designed. The results show that the proposed method can provide quantitative criteria for sensors layout. The monitoring components based on the proposed method are consistent with the actual failure process of the bridge, and can reduce the monitoring of low bearing components. For the second highway bridge of Wuhu Yangtze river, only 59 components are designed to be monitored their internal forces. Therefore, the bridge internal force monitoring system based on the ultimate bearing capacity ratio can decrease the number of monitored components and the cost of the whole monitoring system.

Purpose: This study discusses how Indonesia's response to the Corona Virus Disease-19 pandemic based on the perspective of housing policy capacity which consists of resources, organizations, and networks, politics, systems, and finance. Research design, data and methodology: This study used a qualitative method through a literature review. Data collection techniques were carried out by searching various sources and literature related to housing capacity theory and various data on Indonesia's response to the Covid 19 pandemic. Based on a literature review, this study adapted and modified the five components of capacity, namely resource capacity, organizational and network capacity, political capacity, system capacity and financial capacity in Indonesia in responding to the Covid-19 pandemic. Data analysis used analytical themes which consist of understanding the data, generating initial codes, looking for themes, reviewing themes, defining and naming themes, producing of manuscripts. Results: The results show that the weakness of the system capacity greatly affects Indonesia's housing policy capacity in responding to the Covid-19 pandemic and on the other hand the five housing capacities are an integrated process within the housing policy framework in Indonesia, especially to overcome the Covid-19 pandemic. Conclusions: The findings of this study are the importance of building a system capacity that is directly integrated with housing policy and the strengthening of the resources capacity, organizations, and networks, politics, and finance in the context of Indonesia's housing policy, especially in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic situation.

The purpose of this paper is to provide a transient diffusion approximation of queue size distribution for M/G/m/N system. The M/G/m/N system can be expressed as follows. The interarrival times of customers are exponential and the service times of customers have general distribution. The system can hold at most a total of N customers (including the customers in service) and any further arriving customers will be refused entry to the system and will depart immediately without service. The queueing system with finite capacity is more practical model than queueing system with infinite capacity. For example, in the design of a computer system one of the important problems is how much capacity is required for a buffer memory. It its capacity is too little, then overflow of customers (jobs) occurs frequently in heavy traffic and the performance of system deteriorates rapidly. On the other hand, if its capacity is too large, then most buffer memories remain unused.

This paper describes a capacity of distributed generation which will be interconnected at low voltage distribution systems. In order to set the capacity of distributed generation, a voltage variation of distribution system is considered. Besides, the capacity of distributed generation is classified according to a capacity of pole transformer and loads. The system constructions in this paper are analyzed by using PSCAD/EMTDC. In the immediate future, it is expected to increase the installation of New and renewable energy systems which are generally interconnected to distribution power systems in the form of distributed generations like photovoltaic system, wind power and fuel cell. So the study of this kind would be needed to limit the capacity of distributed generation.

This paper describes the effect of span-to-depth ratio, which describes aspect of cell formed with top diaphragm steel plate, on capacity in composite steel-concrete structure of sandwich system. The span-to-depth ratio \ulcorner load-carrying mechanism and load-distribution capacity of structure. Therefore, stress levels of members and load-resis\ulcorner of system vary according to span-depth ratio. In this study, numerical nonlinear analysis was performed to various ratio for two types(MA, MB) composite structure of sandwich system to analyze the influence of span-to-depth ratio or, behavior. The difference of load-carrying mechanism and stress of members results from analysis results, then bas\ulcorner differences, the effects of span-to-depth ratio on shear capacity, flexural capacity and load-resistance capacity were analyze effects on failure mode and ductility were briefly. As a results of this study, as span-to-depth ratio increases, \ulcorner bottom steel plate and concrete lower. This implies an increase in effective flexural and shear capacity. Therefore lo\ulcorner capacity of structure improves as span-to-depth ratio increases, Especially, the effect is greate in shear than flexural span-to-depth ratio increases, this difference between flexural and shear capacity may change failure mode and ductility. span-to-depth ratio increases capacity increases more than flexural capacity, we should expect that structural behavior mode gradually change from shear to flexural and ductility of structure gradually improves.

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is widely studied in both academia and industry due to its high spectral efficiency over orthogonal multiple access (OMA). To effectively improve spectrum efficiency, an amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperative NOMA system is proposed as well as a novel detection scheme is proposed, in which we first perform successive interference cancellation (SIC) twice at U1 for the two signals received from two time slots to remove interference from symbol 2, then two new signals apply max ratio combining (MRC). In addition, a closed-form upper bound approximation for the ergodic capacity of our proposed system is derived. Monte-Carlo simulations and numerical analysis illustrate that our proposed system has better ergodic capacity performance than the conventional cooperative NOMA system with decode-forward (DF) relay, the conventional cooperative NOMA system with AF relay and the proposed AF cooperative NOMA system in [16]. In addition, we can see that ergodic capacity of all NOMA cooperative systems increase with the increase of transmit SNR. Finally, simulations display that power allocation coefficients have little effect on ergodic capacity of all NOMA cooperative systems. This is due to this fact that ergodic capacity of two symbols can be complementary with changing of power allocation coefficients.
