Due to the rapid increase of electricity demand, consideration of environmental constraints in optimal power flow (OPF) problems is increasingly important. In Algeria, up to 90% of electricity is produced by thermal generators (vapor, gas). In order to keep the emission of gaseous pollutants like sulfur dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen (NO2) under the admissible ecological limits, many conventional and global optimization methods have been proposed to study the trade-off relation between fuel cost and emissions. This paper presents an efficient decomposed Parallel GA to solve the multi-objective environmental/economic dispatch problem. At the decomposed stage the length of the original chromosome is reduced successively and adapted to the topology of the new partition. Two subproblems are proposed: the first subproblem is related to the active power planning to minimize the total fuel cost, and the second subproblem is a reactive power planning design based in practical rules to make fine corrections to the voltage deviation and reactive power violation using a specified number of shunt dynamic compensators named Static Var Compensators (SVC). To validate the robustness of the proposed approach, the algorithm proposed was tested on the Algerian 59-bus network test and compared with conventional methods and with global optimization methods (GA, FGA, and ACO). The results show that the approach proposed can converge to the near solution and obtain a competitive solution at a critical situation and within a reasonable time.

신재생에너지원 및 분산전원의 계통연계가 증가함에 따라 이를 효율적으로 관리하고자 하는 마이크로그리드에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 마이크로그리드는 효율성 및 경제성을 감안하여 열부하 및 전기부하를 동시에 공급하는 형태로 운용될 가능성이 높다. 본 논문에서는 마이크로그리드 에너지관리시스템의 운용과 관련된 기능 중 열부하 및 전기부하를 고려한 마이크로그리드에서의 경제급전에 대한 최적화 모델을 제시하였다.

The events at Three Mile Island in the United States brought about fundamental changes in the ways that simulation would be used in nuclear operations. The need for research simulators was identified to scientifically study human-centered risk and make recommendations for process control system designs. This paper documents the human factors research conducted at the Human Systems and Simulation Laboratory (HSSL) since its inception in 2010 at Idaho National Laboratory. The facility's primary purposes are to provide support to utilities for system upgrades and to validate modernized control room concepts. In the last decade, however, as nuclear industry needs have evolved, so too have the purposes of the HSSL. Thus, beyond control room modernization, human factors researchers have evaluated the security of nuclear infrastructure from cyber adversaries and evaluated human-in-the-loop simulations for joint operations with an integrated hydrogen generation plant. Lastly, our review presents research using human reliability analysis techniques with data collected from HSSL-based studies and concludes with potential future directions for the HSSL, including severe accident management and advanced control room technologies.

본 연구에서는 대한민국 해군 함정의 하절기 운용 및 적도지병 파병 간 발생하고 있는 VRTU 과열로 인한 고온경보 발생과 장비정지 발생현상을 해결하기 위하여 해군 군수사령부 함정기술연구소와 공동연구를 수행하였다. 열전소자 냉각장치 설치에 따른 냉각효과를 확인하고, 전산 열 유동해석을 수행하여 VRTU 내부 열 유동특성을 분석하였다. 또 해석을 통해 기관실(디젤엔진룸) 내부의 온도분포를 살펴보고 VRTU 과열방지를 위한 최적의 설치위치를 알아보았다. 분석결과, 냉각장치를 설치함에 따라 VRTU 내부 평균 체적온도가 약 10 ℃ 감소하는 것을 확인하였으며 냉각장치에 설치된 Fan은 열 순환을 원활하게 하여 냉각효과를 높였다. 기관실 내부는 디젤엔진 상부에서 높은 온도분포를 나타냈고 통풍관 디퓨저 하부에서 가장 낮은 온도분포를 보였다. 열전소자 냉각장치는 높은 냉각성능을 나타내었으며, VRTU는 과열방지를 위하여 기관실의 통풍관 디퓨저 하부에 설치하는 것이 적절할 것으로 판단된다.
