A study of the wave conditions for the Asabo offshore location at the Qua Iboe oil field in Eastern Nigeria has been carried out. Statistical analysis was applied to three (3) years of data comprising spectral periods, Tp and significant wave heights, H_s. The data was divided into two (2); data from October to April represents one set of data and data from May to September represents another set of data. The results were compared with similar studies at other locations offshore of West Africa. It was found that there is an absence of direct swellwaves from the Southern Ocean reaching the location under study (the Asabo site). This work suggests that the wave system is largely emanating from the North Atlantic storms. The presence of numerous islands near the Asabo location shields the site from effects of storms from south west and therefore swells from the Southern Ocean. It is noted that the local wind has little or no contribution. An H_s maximum of 2 m is noted at the Asabo offshore location. It is found that the Weibull distribution best describes the wave distribution at Asabo. Thus, the Weibull distribution is suggested to be adequate for long term prediction of extreme waves needed for offshore design and operations at this location.

This paper proposes novel protection schemes for grid-connected distributed generation (DG) units using the fault location algorithm. The grid-connected DG would be influenced by abnormal distribution line conditions. Identification of the fault location for the distribution lines at the relaying point of DG helps solve the problems of the protection relays for DG. The proposed scheme first identifies fault locations using currents and voltages measured at DG and source impedance of distribution networks. Then the actual faulted feeder is identified, applying time-current characteristic curves (TCC) of overcurrent relay (OCR). The method considering the fault location and TCC of OCR might improve the performance of the conventional relays for DG. Test results show that the method prevents the superfluous operations of protection devices by discriminating the faulted feeder, whether it is a distribution line where DG is integrated or out of the line emanated from the substation to which the DGs are connected.

Location selection of distribution centers is a crucial task for logistics operators and key decision makers of an organization. This is a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) process which includes both quantitative and qualitative criteria. In order to propose an optimized location selection model, this research suggests a hierarchical group of evaluation criteria : 5 major criteria with 15 sub-criteria. The MCDM approach presented in this research, by integrating Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) with Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), tends to rectify the overall quality and uncertainty of the values of evaluation criteria. An example of a location selection case in Korea is illustrated in this study to show the effectiveness of this method.

Distribution centers in a distribution system that consists of the distribution centers and retailers supplies products to retailers. At the present, although total capacity of the distribution centers are enough to supply total demand of retailers, capacity of the distribution centers need to be expanded to satisfy the demand of retailers in case that future demand of the retailers will be increased. Capacity expansion model in a distribution system is to determine the location and size of expansion distribution centers that minimize costs among given distribution centers. Transportation amount from distribution center to retailers also is determined. The costs factors are the capacity expansion costs of the distribution centers and the transportation costs from the distribution centers to the retailers. A model is formulated, and a genetic algorithm based solution procedure is developed. A numerical example is shown and the algorithm is analyzed through examples.

세계적인 항만환경의 변화는 매우 빠르게 변하고 있고, 항만들은 물동량을 선점하고 비즈니스 거점확보를 위한 경쟁을 가속화하고있다. 특히 급성장하고 있는 중국과 경제대국 일본 사이에서 우리나라가 21세기 동북아의 물류중심국가로 확고하게 자리잡기 위해서는 항만물류산업의 활성화가 매우 중요한 시점이다. 본 연구에서는 항만물류산업의 한 분야인 선용품 공급업을 대상으로, 업무실태와 문제점등을 살펴본 후, 선용품 유통센터 건립의 타당성을 도출하고자 한다. 또한, 향후 선용품 유통센터 설립을 위한 요인들을 조사하여 센터건립의 최적화 입지를 분석하고자 한다.

The selection of proposed sites for the general logistic center of agriculture products would be made the most suitable place by considering the spread of population as real consumers, the prospect of the demand, the expansion of traffic system, the regional, hourly and carring traffic volume and the use of land based urban planning, etc. As the preconsideration, the possible occupant companies have to be selected on the category of business and the district. After posing questions and having interview, several selected regions would be compared and analysed for deciding the most suitable place. The model for the general logistic center of agricultural products must be selected taking key factors approach for choosing key factors at first and referring to many documentary records. And the more, cooperating with the specialists for location selection and making objective questions to concerned companies, the most suitable place is selected by marking high score for the moderate land cost, the low traffic jam, the connection with the back cities and the possible expansion as the general logistic center of agriculture products.

배전계통은 여러 가지 이유로 잦은 고장을 경험하기 때문에 고장위치 추정은 전력공급 신뢰도 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 그렇지만 배전계통은 주 선로에서 분기되는 3상 및 단상 분기선을 가지는 수지상 구조로 설계되며 각 구간 상에 수개의 로드 탭을 가지기 때문에 고장점 표정이 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 전력계통 고장점 표정기법에 대해서 조사, 분석하여 배전자동화시스템의 중앙제어장치에서 효과적으로 실행할 수 있는 고장거리 계산 기법을 결정한다. 그리고 EMTP 모의 결과를 통해 결정된 방법의 유효성을 검증한다.

This numerical study investigates the effects of the size of the natural smoke vent area (10% and 1% of the floor area) and the location of the fire source (i.e., at the side and center of the stage) on the temperature distribution in the compartment and velocity distribution and mass flow rate of flow through a natural smoke vent for a reduced-scale model of a theater stage. Then, the mass flow rate of outflow through the natural smoke vent in the event of a fire for a real-scale theater stage was examined. The case with the larger natural smoke vent area and central fire source location showed lower temperature distributions and higher mass flow rates of outflow and inflow than the case with the smaller natural smoke vent area and side fire source location. The trends of the temperature distributions were closely related to those of the mass flow rates for the outflow and inflow. Additionally, the case with the larger natural smoke vent area and central fire source location exhibited the most non-uniform flow velocity distribution in all cases tested. A bidirectional flow, in which the outflow and inflow occur simultaneously, was observed through the natural smoke vent. In the event of a fire situation in a real-scale theater stage, it was predicted that the case with the larger natural smoke vent area and central fire source location would have a mass flow rate of outflow that is 43.53 times higher than that of the case with the smaller natural smoke vent area and side fire source location. The present results indicate that the natural smoke vent location should be determined by considering the location in a theater stage where a fire can occur.

국내 택배시장은 과거 몇 개의 업체에서 독점해왔으나 현재는 대기업들과 수많은 중소기업들이 참여하고 있어 경쟁이 심화되고 있다. 우편물의 신속한 배송과 운송비용의 최소화는 매우 중요하며 이를 위하여 운송거리의 최단 거리화가 우선 필요하다. 본 논문은 전국의 주요 도시에 배치된 우편집중국을 기하적으로 가장 짧게 연결하는 교환 센터의 최적 위치를 찾는 방법을 제시한다. 송전계통의 routing, 배전선로망의 최적화 등에 이용되고 있는 Steiner Tree이론을 최단거리 우편물 운송망 구축에 적용하였다. Steiner Tree이론으로부터 선정된 위치에 교환센터를 설치할 경우, 운송비를 절감하여 경영수지를 개선할 뿐 아니라 신속한 배달을 최우선으로 하는 택배 시장에서 우위를 점할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. Steiner Tree 이론은 차기 초고압 선로를 최단거리로 연결하는 전력소의 위치선정 등에도 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
