Usually, cloud storage systems are developed based on DFS (Distributed File System) for scalability and reliability reasons. DFSs are designed to improve throughput than IO response time, and therefore, they are appropriate for batch processing jobs. Recently, cloud storage systems have been used for update intensive applications such as OLTP and so on. However, in DFSs, in-place update operations are not carefully considered. Therefore, when updates are frequent, I/O performance of DFSs are degraded significantly. DFSs with RAID techniques have been proposed to improve their performance and reliability. Their performance degradation caused by frequent update operations can be more significant. In this paper, we propose an in-place update method for DFS RAID exploiting a differential logging technique. The proposed method reduces the I/O costs, network traffic and XOR operation costs for RAID. We demonstrate the efficiency of our proposed in-place update method through various experiments.

In recent years, a cloud environment with the ability to detect illegal behaviours along with a secured data storage capability is much needed. This study presents a cloud storage framework, wherein a 128-bit encryption key has been generated by combining deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) cryptography and the Hill Cipher algorithm to make the framework unbreakable and ensure a better and secured distributed cloud storage environment. Moreover, the study proposes a DNA-based encryption technique, followed by a 256-bit secure socket layer (SSL) to secure data storage. The 256-bit SSL provides secured connections during data transmission. The data herein are classified based on different qualitative security parameters obtained using a specialized fuzzy-based classification technique. The model also has an additional advantage of being able to decide on selecting suitable storage servers from an existing pool of storage servers. A fuzzy-based technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model has been employed for this, which can decide on the set of suitable storage servers on which the data must be stored and results in a reduction in execution time by keeping up the level of security to an improved grade.

Efforts to respond to climate change are being made in various ways around the world, and in the energy field, continuous research and pilot projects are underway through new and renewable energy, efficient power grid management, and power grid services. Systems are in place to realize these efforts, and the systems created allow for better effectiveness. When implementing a system, systems engineering methodology helps design a more systematic system and can provide verification accuracy and uniformity through intuitive connectivity. In this paper, the original requirements of the power grid stabilization system and the architecture of the system's essential constraints are constructed as a conceptual model and the boundaries and flows between components are defined. By utilizing distributed resources such as EV(Electric Vehicle) and ESS(Energy Storage System) in the power service platform system, we plan to design and build a next-generation power service system that can participate in the power stabilization market and implement a system necessary to respond to climate change in the future.

상황 인식은 유비쿼터스 환경에서 여러 가지 상황 정보를 인식하고 이를 기반으로 자동으로 서비스를 제공하기 위한 요소 기술이다. 유비쿼터스 환경을 지원하기 위한 기존 미들웨어들은 중앙 집중화된 저장 장치나 DBMS를 이용하여 획득된 상황 정보와 서비스 컨텐츠를 저장 관리하였다. 집중화된 상황 정보 및 서비스 컨텐츠의 관리는 이동 노드의 자율성과 서로 다른 미들웨어 간에 상호 운영을 저해하는 경우가 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 분산된 유비쿼터스 환경에서 상황 정보를 이동 노드에 분산 관리하고 서비스를 위한 컨텐츠를 미들웨어 간에 공유할 수 있는 시스템을 설계한다. 이와 더불어 상황 정보의 정의와 서비스의 추론 및 호출을 지원하기 위한 상황 인식 스크립트를 제공한다. 본 연구에서 설계된 응용 시스템을 상황 인식 기반의 음악 재생 서비스를 제공하는 시나리오에 적용함으로서 유용성을 보이고 있다.

하둡 분산 파일시스템(HDFS)는 빅데이터의 병렬 분산 처리를 위해 다수의 노드에 데이터를 중복 저장하는 파일시스템이다. HDFS의 분산 노드 클러스터는 수천 개 이상의 규모 확장성을 갖추고 있으나 빅데이터 처리를 위한 전용 하드웨어를 가정하고 있으며, 기존의 기업 및 병원에서 사용하고 있는 다양한 유휴 전산 자원을 고려하지는 못하는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 기관 내 존재하는 다양한 유휴 전산 자원을 필요에 따라 동적으로 HDFS에 추가함으로써 빅데이터 저장 및 분석 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 동적 클러스터 관리 기법을 제시한다.

To resolve overload in a distribution system, a distribution system operator (DSO) often performs a load transfer using normally open tie points and switches in the distribution line. During this process, the distribution system is momentarily operated in closed-loop operation. A closed-loop current in the distribution system can cause a power failure due to excess breaking current in the circuit breakers and reclosers. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate the closed-loop current exactly. However, if there are a large number of distributed generation (DG) systems in the distribution system, such as energy storage systems (ESS), they might obstruct the closed-loop operation based on bidirectional power flow. For quick and precise operation of a closed-loop system, the ESS has to regulate the power generation while satisfying closed-loop operation in the worst cases. We propose a strategy for balanced power regulation of an ESS. Simulations were carried out using PSCAD/EMTDC, and the results were compared with calculation results.

A microgrid which is composed of distributed generation systems, energy storage systems and loads is operated in the grid-connected mode and in the islanded mode. Especially, in the islanded mode, a microgrid should maintain frequency in the allowed range. The frequency is decided by a balance between power supply and power demand. In general, the frequency is controlled by using battery energy storage systems (BESSs) in the microgrid. Especially, droop control is applied to controlling BESSs in the microgrid. Meanwhile, over-charging and deep-discharging of BESS in operation and control cause life-shortening of batteries. In this paper, a fuzzy droop control is proposed to change droop gains adaptively by considering state of charge (SOC) of BESSs to improve the life cycle of the battery. The proposed fuzzy droop control adjusts droop gains based on SOC of BESSs in real time. In other to show the performance of the proposed fuzzy droop control, simulation based on Matlab/Simulink is performed. In addition, comparison of the convention droop control and the proposed fuzzy droop control is also performed.

As a result of the depletion of fossil fuels and environmental contamination, it has become important to use renewable energy. For the stable utilization of renewable energy sources, energy storage devices must be used. In addition, renewable and distributed power sources with energy storage devices must operate stably under grid-connected mode. This paper proposed dynamic response modeling for renewable power generation systems including a charger/discharger with an energy storage device in order to derive a method to guarantee stable operation while fully utilizing the energy from the energy storage device. In this paper, the principle operation and design guidelines of the proposed scheme are presented, along with a performance analysis and simulation results using MATLAB and PSIM. Finally, a hardware prototype of a 1kW power conditioning system with an energy storage device has been implemented for experimental verification of the proposed converter system.

As the penetration of different types of renewable energy sources (RES) and energy storage systems (ESS) increases, the importance of stability in AC microgrid is being emphasized. Especially, RES and ESS which are operated using power electronics have difference in output characteristics according to control structures. When faults like single-line-to-ground fault or islanding operation occur, this means that a fault should be interpreted in different way. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze fault characteristics in AC microgrid in case of grid-connected mode and standalone mode. In this paper, the fault analysis for AC microgrid is carried out using PSCAD/EMTDC and an overvoltage problem and the countermeasures were proposed.

Smart sensors densely distributed over structures can provide rich information for structural monitoring using their onboard wireless communication and computational capabilities. However, issues such as time synchronization error, data loss, and dealing with large amounts of harvested data have limited the implementation of full-fledged systems. Limited network resources (e.g. battery power, storage space, bandwidth, etc.) make these issues quite challenging. This paper first investigates the effects of time synchronization error and data loss, aiming to clarify requirements on synchronization accuracy and communication reliability in SHM applications. Coordinated computing is then examined as a way to manage large amounts of data.
