Many studies have investigated the smart grid architecture and communication models in the past few years. However, the communication model and architecture for a smart grid still remain unclear. Today's electric power distribution is very complex and maladapted because of the lack of efficient and cost-effective energy generation, distribution, and consumption management systems. A wireless smart grid communication system can play an important role in achieving these goals. In this paper, we describe a smart grid communication architecture in which we merge customers and distributors into a single domain. In the proposed architecture, all the home area networks, neighborhood area networks, and local electrical equipment form a local wireless mesh network (LWMN). Each device or meter can act as a source, router, or relay. The data generated in any node (device/meter) reaches the data collector via other nodes. The data collector transmits this data via the access point of a wide area network (WAN). Finally, data is transferred to the service provider or to the control center of the smart grid. We propose a wireless cooperative communication model for the LWMN.We deploy a limited number of smart relays to improve the performance of the network. A novel relay selection mechanism is also proposed to reduce the relay selection overhead. Simulation results show that our cooperative smart grid (coopSG) communication model improves the end-to-end packet delivery latency, throughput, and energy efficiency over both the Wang et al. and Niyato et al. models.

Sophisticated automation-based electronics world, more electrical and electronic devices are being used by people from different regions across the universe. Different manufacturers and vendors develop and market a wide variety of power generation and utilization devices under different operating parameters and conditions. People use a variety of appliances which use electrical energy as power source. These appliances or gadgets utilize the generated energy in different ratios. Night time the utilization will be less when compared with day time utilization of power. In industrial areas especially mechanical industries or Heavy machinery usage regions power utilization will be a diverse at different time intervals and it vary dynamically. This always causes a fluctuation in the grid lines because of the random and intermittent use of these apparatus while the power generating apparatus is made to operate to provide a steady output. Hence it necessitates designing and developing a method to optimize the power generated and the power utilized. Lot of methodologies has been proposed in the recent years for effective optimization and economical load dispatch. One such technique based on intelligent and evolutionary based is Black Widow Optimization BWO. To enhance the optimization level BWO is hybridized. In this research BWO based optimize the load for multi area is proposed to optimize the cost function. A three type of system was compared for economic loads of 16, 40, and 120 units. In this research work, BWO is used to improve the convergence rate and is proven statistically best in comparison to other algorithms such as HSLSO, CGBABC, SFS, ISFS. Also, BWO algorithm best optimize the cost parameter so that dynamically the load and the cost can be controlled simultaneously and hence effectively the generated power is maximum utilized at different time intervals with different load capacity in different regions of utilization.

East Parts of Bangladesh have been benifited by low cost energy generated by domestic natural gas but West parts where energy generated by imported fuel. Bangladesh Government authority has very much concerned to transmit the low cost electricity to the West from the East for past several years. To solve such concerns, cross-country 230kv double circuits Power transmission line was proposed, however there was a big obstacle for the realization of this line to cross the Jamuna river which has 12 km long width with a deep muddy river bed. A consultant engineering firm named Merz-Mclellan anyway finalized this plan and a world-wide bid was announced on June 31, 1979. Due to the expected difficulty to construct the towers on sea like area, only three construction groups have participated. including a Korean joint venture organization of Samsung-Korean Developement corporation-Kolon Electric Machinery company. After 3 months bid evaluation, contract was awarded to Korean Consosium and KEM Co was in charge of designing steel towers with anchor bolts and base plates beside to electrical engineering field. Then KEM Co have faced and over-comed many unenpected technical difficulties such as forced eccentricity joint on base plate, distorsion issue of 60mm thick plates welding, threading anchor bolts, tad heat treatment of some anchor bolts, disagreement from Consultant Engineer on multiplying factor of leg stresses for 45$^{\circ}$ wind and on reducing O.L.F for wind loads on cables for such 1220km long spans. After spending two years long period for designing and engineering towers, base plates, and anchor bolts, first shipment of tower was finally realized on Nov. 8, 1981 and on the other hand KDD has proceeded concrete caisson work on schedule at Jamuna river site and expected to complete tower erection and stringing of cables within this year of 1982 which was original completion target.

This paper describes the results of a low-frequency oscillation analysis using data measured in PMU installed in the KEPCO system, and the comparison with eigenvalues computed from the linear model. The dominant oscillation modes are estimated by applying various algorithms. The algorithms are: the extended Prony method; multiple time interval parameter estimation method; subspace system identification method; and spectral analysis. From the measurement data, modes of frequency 0.68[Hz] and 0.92[Hz] were estimated, and modes of frequency 0.63[Hz] and 0.80[Hz] were computed from the eigenvalue calculation. There was a difference between the mode estimated from measurement data and that from the linear model. This is possibly because of an error in the dynamic data of the KEPCO system used in eigenvalue calculation. Because wide area modes exist in the KEPCO system, these modes should be monitored continuously for the reliable operation of the system. In order to prevent total blackouts caused by wide area oscillation, moreover, contingency analysis should be performed in relation to this mode and appropriate measures should be established.

LoRa는 처프 확산 스펙트럼과 대부모 트리 구조의 네트워크를 물리 계층에 도입하여 장거리 통신에서 신뢰성을 제공한다. 이 트리 네트워크에서 자식 노드는 여러 부모를 동시에 이용할 수 있기 때문에 네트워크에 동일 부하가 가해질 경우 게이트웨이의 수가 늘어날수록 패킷 전달률은 대수적으로 증가한다. 그러나 알로하와 흡사한 원시적 매체 접근 제어의 한계로 인해 이 환경에서도 부하가 증가할수록 네트워크의 이용률은 유사하게 하락한다. 본 논문에서는 같은 주파수를 같은 시간에 사용하는 공간 분할 다중 접근류의 접근 방식을 제안한다. 본 기법은 같은 시간, 다른 게이트웨이에서 서로 다른 패킷이 생존할 수 있도록 각 노드의 송신 전력을 수신 신호 세기의 분포에 기반하여 조절한다. 이른바 포획 효과의 의도적 활용은 자원에 배고픈 저 전력 광역 네트워크의 수용력을 향상시켰다. 전형적인 완전 배제적 무충돌 제어 접근과 비교해 타임 슬롯의 소모를 30-35% 절감하였다. 또한, 전력 제어의 효과로 인해 20-40%의 에너지 소모량이 절약됨을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 생활계폐기물 중 별도로 분리 배출되어 재활용 선별장으로 반입된 재활용 폐기물에 대한 수집운반에서부터 최종처리까지의 흐름을 분석하였다. 연구는 실제 현장조사를 기본으로 실시하였으며, 조사 결과, 최종 재활용 측면에서는 대체적으로는 적정 처리가 이루어지는 것으로 파악 되었으나, 불필요한 이동 및 중간처리 경로를 통해 처리되는 품목이 상당수 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 지자체에서 선별된 폐자원을 처리 또는 수집운반 하는 업체들은 오로지 경제성 원리에 입각한 폐기물 처리비와 운반비 차익을 주요 수익원으로 하기 때문에 불필요한 중간단계 및 장거리 폐기물 이동현상이 나타나게 된다. 따라서 합리적인 자원순환망 구축을 위한 첫 번째 단계는 폐기물 발생원의 근거리에 있는 재활용업체에서의 우선처리원칙이 필요하며, 필요에 따라 인근 지역의 폐기물을 동시에 처리 할 수 있는 광역처리체계 도입이 타당하다.

A DBLP(Double blind light pipe) daylight system can be installed at a building exterior wall or roof to replace artificial light during the day time. This system was consisted of a double blind light collector, a mirror duct type light transformer and a prism light pipe distributor. The double blinds were used to track the sun's altitude and azimuth movements to collect the sunlight throughout the day. The sunlight collected by the light collector was reflected on the first mirror and the second mirror and sent to the light pipe through the light transformer. The transformer was designed to deliver the sunlight into the light pipe efficiently. The light distributor plays a role in diffusing the sunlight coming in through the light collector to be used for indoor lighting. In this paper, a DBLP system has been designed, installed and tested at a KIER daylighting twin test cell. The DBLP daylighting system was applied to the experimental test cell which has an indoor area of 2.0 m wide ${\times}$ 2.4 m height ${\times}$ 3.8 m length. The experiment was conducted from January 30 to February 27, 2012, under clear skies and partially cloudy skies. Data was collected from 10:00 am to 16:00 pm every 2 minute and the average was calculated for every 30 minute of the data collection to obtain the system efficiency. The results indicated that the DBLP system efficiency was evaluated as 11.67%. The DBLP system indoor illumination energy reduction was predicted as 0.822 kWh/day. This could replace 4 sets of a 32W fluorescent lamp operating 6.4 hours per a day.

미래 인터넷 환경에서 무선 센서 네트워크(Wireless Sensor Networks)는 광범위한 응용에 적용될 중요한 기술이다. 그러나 센서 네트워크는 기존의 네트워크와는 달리 소형이고 제한된 배터리 에너지로 운용되어야 하기 때문에 센서 네트워크가 설치된 지역에서 오랜 시간동안 많은 정보를 얻기 위해서는 에너지 효율적인 프로토콜 개발이 필수적이다. 또 센서 네트워크는 무선 멀티 홉 (multi hop) 통신을 통해 정보가 전달되기 때문에 전송 지연이 발생한다. 이런 전송 지연은 센싱된 정보가 적시에 전달되어 적절한 조치가 이루어지는 것을 어렵게 하기 때문에 센서 네트워크의 프로토콜을 설계할 때 전송 지연이 발생하지 않도록 해야 한다. 본 논문은 무선 센서 네트워크에서 일정 시간의 전송지연을 유지하면서 각 노드의 에너지의 소비를 최소화하는 데이터 전달 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안된 프로토콜은 wakeup 스케줄링과 MAC 프로토콜을 통합하여 동작하며, 데이터를 전달하는 동안 네트워크 전체의 에너지 소모를 균등하게 해 준다. 제안된 프로토콜은 모의실험을 통해서 기존의 프로토콜과 비교하여 성능을 검증하였다.

This study investigated the effects of pipe network materials and distance on system performance utilizing unused energy sources in large-scale horticulture facility. For this, the modeling was performed with a 100 m long and 100 m wide rectangular shaped glass house having an area of 1ha ($10,000m^2$) using EnergyPlus software. The heat sources considered were air source, geothermal heat, power plant waste heat, sea water heat, and river water. The temperature variation of the fluid with regard to pipe material and distance from the heat source and the resultant heat pump electricity consumptions were calculated. It turned out that the fluid temperature reaching the heat pump increased as the distance from the heat source increased in case of sea water and river water, which have higher temperatures than the surrounding soil, improving the heat pump efficiency. It was vice versa in case of the power plant waste heat. In addition, pipe material of PVC showed the smallest effect on the system performance variation due to the lowest thermal conductivity, compared to PB and HDPE.

On February 6, 2023, Türkiye woke up with a strong ground motion felt in a wide geography. As a result of the Kahramanmaraş, Pazarcık and Elbistan earthquakes, which took place 9 hours apart, there was great destruction and loss of life. The 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes occurred on active faults known to pose a high seismic hazard, but their effects were devastating. Seismic code spectra were investigated in Hatay, Adıyaman and Kahramanmaraş where destruction is high. The study mainly focuses on the investigation of ground motion parameters of 6 February Kahramanmaraş earthquakes and the correlation between ground motion parameters. In addition, earthquakes greater than Mw 5.0 that occurred in Türkiye were compared with certain seismic parameters. As in the strong ground motion studies, seismic energy parameters such as Arias intensity, characteristic intensity, cumulative absolute velocity and specific energy density were determined, especially considering the duration content of the earthquake. Based on the study, it was concluded that the structures were overloaded far beyond their normal design levels. This, coupled with significant vertical seismic components, is a contributing factor to the collapse of many buildings in the area. In the evaluation made on Arias intensity, much more energy (approximately ten times) emerged in Kahramanmaraş earthquakes compared to other Türkiye earthquakes. No good correlation was found between moment magnitude and peak ground accelerations, peak ground velocities, Arias intensities and ground motion durations in Türkiye earthquakes. Both high seismic components and long ground motion durations caused intense energy to be transferred to the structures. No strong correlation was found between ground motion durations and other seismic parameters. There is a strong positive correlation between PGA and seismic energy parameter AI. Kahramanmaraş earthquakes revealed that changes should be made in the Turkish seismic code to predict higher spectral acceleration values, especially in earthquake-prone regions in Türkiye.
