Times New RomanThe utilization of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the smart grid application can construct efficient and reliable electrical grid. IEC 61850 was adopted as the standard for smart grid exchanging the information required in an electric power utility. However, applying technologies like IEC 61850 using Ethernet to the automation of small distribution substation directly may cost more than the value of the small distribution substation itself. IEEE 802.15.4 technology attracts attention in the field of power utility automation because of low installation cost and ease of installation. Studies are conducted, which use IEEE 802.15.4 in less strict D1 small distribution substation. This study applied IEEE 802.15.4 to the small distribution substation and conducted performance evaluation using the actual equipment. This study determined the scope of application of IEEE 802.15.4 by conducting a comparative analysis of the message type in IEC 61850.

The substation is a critical node in the power network where power is transformed in the power generation, transmission and distribution system. The IEC 61850 is a global standard which proposes efficient substation automation by defining interoperable communication and data modelling techniques. In order to achieve this level of interoperability and automation, the IEC 61850 (Part 6) defines System Configuration description Language (SCL). The SCL is an XML based file format for defining the abstract model of primary and secondary substation equipment, communications systems and also the relationship between them. It enables the interoperable exchange of data during substation engineering by standardizing the description of applications at different stages of the engineering process. To achieve the seamless interoperability, multi-vendor devices are required to adhere completely to the IEC 61850. This paper proposes an efficient algorithm required for verifying the interoperability of multi-vendor devices by checking the adherence of the SCL file to specifications of the standard. Our proposed SCL validation algorithm consists of schema validation and other functionalities including information model validation using UML data model, the Vendor Defined Extension model validation, the User Defined Rule validation and the IED Engineering Table (IET) consistency validation. It also integrates the standard UCAIUG (Utility Communication Architecture International Users Group) Procedure validation for quality assurance testing. Our proposed algorithm is not only flexible and efficient in terms of ensuring interoperable functionality of tested devices, it is also convenient for use by system integrators and test engineers.

When using conventional 3D image scanning methods, it is common for image scanning to be done manually, which is labor-intensive. Scanning a space made up of complicated equipment or scanning a narrow space that is difficult for the user to enter, is problematic, resulting in quality degradation due to the presence of shadow areas. This paper proposes a method to scan an image using a rover equipped with a scanner in areas where it is difficult for a person to enter. To control the scan path precisely, the 3D image remote scan automation method based on the rover move rule definition is described. Through the study, the user can automate the 3D scan plan in a desired manner by defining the rover scan path as the rule base.

The dynamic nature of mechanization and automation to improve productivity and safety within logistics centers, has necessitated various studies to support efficient and safe working conditions for workers. However, accidents in the loading dock occur frequently as workers and forklift trucks operate within the same space. This research introduces cargo batch loading and unloading systems, which enable increasing productivity and safety through the use of mechanization and automation in the loading dock. To assist efficient operation of this new system, four pieces of general-purpose equipment or three pieces of dedicated equipment are deemed to be essential. Moreover, the floor area of the loading dock is designed to accommodate $256.28m^2$ and $207.00m^2$ for the general-purpose and dedicated systems respectively, in addition to the space allocated for equipment and additional space. The design of the loading dock considers the area of the loading dock as well as the cargo batch loading and unloading systems. Economic analysis, such as NPV, IRR, and PBT, were conducted in addition to sensitivity analysis on key variables.

A crane is typically used as a means to lift and load equipment or materials. A surface vessel uses a towed object for underwater activity. Such a mechanism for dropping and lifting of equipment is necessary, and is called an overboarding unit. The present study is focused on the overboarding unit used for a crane structure. This paper deals with new overboarding mechanism design and GA-based $MATLAB^{(R)}$ optimization. By using a quadrilateral link mechanism, it is possible to set the constraint function for optimizing the GA method. The optimization with $MATLAB^{(R)}$ is followed by the $SolidWorks^{(R)}$ simulation and verification. When applying the proposed mechanism, the operator is expected to have a big advantage in safety and efficiency of operations. Furthermore, the technology developed in this study will be helpful in similar circumstances and in the proposed mechanism.

In this paper, we describe a hydraulic system design and vehicle dynamic modeling for development of tire roller traction, an essential aspect in the system analysis of tire rollers. Generally, tire rollers are one of the most useful types of machines employed in road construction, technically applied to many construction fields. We also conceptualize a new hydraulic and driving system as well as define the motion equations for dynamic and hydraulic analysis. First, we design the hydraulic circuit of the steering control and driving machine system, which can be employed to advance the performance of the lateral control, creating a prototype of construction equipment. Second, we formulate the hydraulic steering system model and hydraulic driving system model through tire roller system development technology. Finally, we validate the acquired performance results in actual tire roller equipment using the data acquisition system. These results may perhaps facilitate the establishment of priorities and design strategies for incremental introduction of tire roller technology into the vehicle and construction field.
