As the technology of a large scale battery have advanced, it's application to the electric power network have been active in foreign country. By providing the electric power energy stored in the electric power storage system when needed, there are many advantages that it is able to reduce the gap between the electric power demand and supply for day and night to increase capacity factor, to upgrade the electric power quality degraded from the unbalance between power demand and supply and to compensate the fluctuation of wind power plant and photovoltaic power generation. In this study, the current application of electric power storage system using battery is introduced in detail, and I have thought out it's application fields based on the foreign examples. These are demand side response, upgrade of the power quality, stabilization of fluctuation of renewable energy and distributed generation for filling elapse.

The response of multi-story building structures to lateral loads, mainly due to earthquake and wind, is investigated for preliminary design purposes. Emphasis is placed on structural systems consisting of rigid and braced steel frames. An attempt to gain a qualitative understanding of the influence of bending and shear stiffness distribution on the deformations of such structures is made. This is achieved by modeling the structure with a stiffness equivalent Timoshenko beam. It is observed that the conventional stiffness distribution, dictated by strength constraints, may not be the best to satisfy deflection criteria. This is particularly the case for slender structural systems with prevailing bending deformations, such as flexible braced frames. This suggests that a new approach to the design of such frames may be appropriate when serviceability governs. A pertinent strategy for preliminary design purposes is proposed.

In this study, the authors present a coupled fluid-structures-seabed interaction analysis of a monopile type of wind turbine foundations in liquefiable soils. A two dimensional analysis is performed with a nonlinear stiffness degradation model incorporated in the finite difference program Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua (FLAC), which captured the fundamental mechanisms of the monopiles in saturated granular soil. The effects of inertia and the kinematic flow of soil are investigated separately, to highlight the importance of considering the combined effect of these phenomena on the seismic design of offshore monopiles. Different seismic loads, such as those experienced in the Kobe, Santa Cruz, Loma Prieta, Kocaeli, and Morgan Hill earthquakes, are analyzed. The pore water pressure development, relative displacements, soil skeleton deformation and monopile bending moment are obtained for different predominant frequencies and peak accelerations. The findings are verified with results in the liter.

To construct the third generation model, nonlinear interaction was included in source terms. To calculate the nonlinear interaction, discrete interaction approximation to Boltzmann integral was used, as in WAM model. The general behavior and characteristics of nonlinear interaction were analyzed through the experiments for the durational growth and turning winds.

The MPPT algorithm using neuro-fuzzy controller is proposed to improve the performance of fuzzy controller in this paper. The width of membership function and fuzzy rule have an effect on the performance of fuzzy controller. The neuro-fuzzy controller has the response characteristic which is superior to the existing fuzzy controller, because of using the optimal width of the fuzzy membership function through the neural learning. The superior control characteristic of a proposed algorithm is confirmed through simulation and experiment results.

The motion of a small boat in seas is affected in relatively higher degrees than the case of a larger ship by the specific characteristics of sea waves, i.e., the wave length and height. Ship's motion caused by sea waves is a matter of special importance to small fishing boats, because they carry out fishing job in rough seas frequently. This is an experimental study on the rolling and pitching motions of full scale ship. In the experiment, the ship's motions were measured for head, how, beam, quarter and following seas. The experiment were carried out on board the training ship Pusan 404(160 GT) in the adjacent waters off NAM HYENG JAE DO on Dec. 13th 1994. The sea condition during the measurements was that wave height 2.5m, no swell and the wind velocity of 12 m/sec. Some statistic considerations were given to the observed data by the series analysis methods and discussed in this paper.

Seismic Isolation and Shock/vibration Control Laboratory has performed the National Research Laboratory(NRL) project, 'Design and Application of Control Devices against Earthquake/Shock/Vibration'. In this project, the prototypes of the vibration control devices for structural control against earthquake and wind were developed and verified their performances. And also, the computer programs were developed for the seismic response analysis and the optimum design of the base-isolated structures with vibration control devices. This paper introduces the developed vibration control devices and computer programs.

The vibrations of bodies subjected to fluid flow can cause modifications in the flow conditions, giving rise to interaction forces that depend primarily on displacements and velocities of the body in question. In this paper the linearized equations of motion for bodies of arbitrary prismatic or cylindrical cross-section in two-dimensional cross-flow are presented, considering the three degrees of freedom of the body cross-section. By restraining the rotational motion, equations applicable to circular tubes, pipes or cables are obtained. These equations can be used to determine stability limits for such structural systems when subjected to non uniform cross-flow, or to evaluate, under the quasi static assumption, their response to vortex or turbulent excitation. As a simple illustration, the stability of a pipe subjected to a bidimensional flow in the direction normal to the pipe axis is examined. It is shown that the approach is extremely powerful, allowing the evaluation of fluid-structure interaction in unidimensional structural systems, such as straight or curved pipes, cables, etc, by means of either a combined experimental-numerical scheme or through purely numerical methods.

This paper mainly introduces recently developed technologies pertaining to the design and implementation of Active Mass Damper (AMD) control system on a high-rise building subjected to wind load. Discussions include introduction of real structure and the control system, the establishment of analytical model, the design and optimization of a variety of controllers, the design of time-varying variable gain feedback control strategy for limiting auxiliary mass stroke, and the design and optimization of AMD control devices. The results presented in this paper demonstrate that the proposed AMD control systems can resolve the issues pertaining to insufficient floor stiffness of the building. The control system operates well and has a good sensitivity.

In this research work, nonlinear thermal buckling behavior of functionally graded (FG) plates is explored based a new higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT). The present model has just four unknowns, by using a new supposition of the displacement field which enforces undetermined integral variables. A shear correction factor is, thus, not necessary. A power law distribution is employed to express the disparity of volume fraction of material distributions. Three kinds of thermal loading, namely, uniform, linear, and nonlinear and temperature rises over z-axis direction are examined. The non-linear governing equations are resolved for plates subjected to simply supported boundary conditions at the edges. The results are approved with those existing in the literature. Impacts of various parameters such as aspect and thickness ratios, gradient index, type of thermal load rising, on the non-dimensional thermal buckling load are all examined.
