In industry areas, a lot of factories and process plants need network for processing data acquired from field and for communicating between sensors or actuators or field controllers. Most of the industry networks are based on wired solutions. But, recently, a lot of factories and process plants are moving into wireless solutions since they have some advantages compared with wired one. In this paper we first review the characteristics of wired and wireless network technologies and introduce the new technique called wireless sensor network (WSN). And then we describe the wireless sensor node system designed by us for WSN which has the ability of small size, flexibility and low-power consumption and embedded into the Bar-code scanner to communicate each other. Finally, we conclude this paper by showing that wireless industry network can be constructed with wireless sensor network without large change of traditional wired topologies through experiment using wireless sensor nodes.

Recently, electricity industry is facing high market uncertainty which has ever had and which increase risks in power market. In this study, we analyze risk factors such as discount rates, initial investment (overnight cost), plant factor, fuel cost, carbon price, etc, for the perspective of investor. For the analysis of risk factors, we used LCOE method. The results of this study show that renewable energy is more affected by plant factor and overnight cost than other risk factors. First, Renewable energy has higher proportion of overnight cost in the total investment than that of other technologies. Second, renewable energy is free of fuel cost and carbon price so plant factor is the most important factor, in other words, competitiveness of renewable energy depends on plant factor. Furthermore, we conducted economic feasibility of wind power and PV in domestic case study. The minimum requirement condition to get profitability is that plant factor 15% and overnight cost \6,000,000/kW and 26%, \2,200,000/kW for PV and Wind Power, respectively.

최근 산업이 대규모화함에 따라 고압 전력 변환 장치의 필요성이 증가하고 있고, 이에 따라 전력용 반도체 소자의 직렬 구동이 많이 이용되고 있다. 소자의 직렬 구동은 소자간에 적절한 전압 분배가 이루어져 개별 소자에 정격이상의 과전압이 인가되는 것을 방지하는 것이 큰 관건이다. 또한 고전압 회로에서는 부유 인덕턴스에 의한 소자의 과전압도 방지하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 직렬 연결된 IGBT의 턴-오프 과도상태시 컬렉터 전압 기울기 조절로 안정된 전압 분배와 과전압을 방지하는 새로운 게이트 구동기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 게이트 구동기법은 컬렉터 전압을 검출하여 능동적으로 게이트 신호를 제어함으로써 과전압을 제한한다. 새로운 IGBT 게이트 구동회로를 제작하고 직렬 연결된 IGBT 회로에 적용하여 게이트 구동기법의 타당성을 검증하였다.

Recently, photovoltaic systems have been devolved into much larger systems up to MW-scale. Photovoltaic industry participants give their focus on power generation capability of photovoltaic modules because their benefits can be decided from the amount of generation. The information on long-term performance change of photovoltaic modules helps to estimate the amount of power generation and evaluate the economic cost-benefits. Long-term performance of a PV system has been analyzed with operation data for 12 years from 1999 to 2010. In the first year, the amount of yearly power generation was 57.7 MWh with 13.2% capacity factor. In 2007, the amount of yearly generation was 44.3 MWh with 10.14% capacity factor, and in 2010, the amount was decreased down to 38.1 MWh with 8.7% capacity factor. The result means that long-term capacity factor has been 4.5% decreased for 12 years and that the amount of generation has been decreased 34.0% for 12 years which is 2.8 % per year. The latter capacity factor has been decreased faster than 0.20%, the average rate for 10 years. The performance decrease of the PV system is meant to be accelerated. The decrease of performance and utilization is due to aged deterioration of photovoltaic modules and lowering conversion efficiency of PCS.

Introducing the market into the electricity industry lets the multiple participants get into new competition. These multiple participants of the market need new business strategies for providing value added services to customer. Therefore they need the accurate customer information about the electricity demand. Demand characteristic is the most important one for analyzing customer information. In this study load profile data, which can be collected through the Automatic Meter Reading System, are analyzed for getting demand patterns of customer. The load profile data include electricity demand in 15 minutes interval. An algorithm for clustering similar demand patterns is developed using the load profile data. As results of classification, customers are separated into several groups. And the representative curves for the groups are generated. The number of groups is automatically generated. And it depends on the threshold value for distance to separate groups. The demand characteristics of the groups are discussed. Also, the compositions of demand contracts and standard industrial classification in each group are presented. It is expected that the classified curves will be used for tariff design, load forecasting, load management and so on. Also it will be a good infrastructure for making a value added service related to electricity.

The Korean government announced the "1st Basic Plan for the Transition to Hydrogen Economy" in 2021 and declared the establishment of a hydrogen industry ecosystem by 2040. To build a low-carbon power system, resources that can efficiently accommodate renewable energy are required, and green hydrogen is considered a potential solution. This study analyzed the economic feasibility of green hydrogen-based sector coupling to reduce curtailment of renewable generation in the Jeju power system by 2025 under the scenario of with or without HVDC#3. The result showed that HVDC#3 significantly reduced the frequency of curtailment from 16.1% to 3.0%. In addition, green hydrogen-based sector coupling was an economically feasible option as result showed an IRR of 4.86% when HVDC#3 was connected and 11.45% when it was not under the condition of achieving 50% curtailment reduction. This study shows that the higher the level of renewable energy deployment, the more delayed the HVDC connection between Jeju and the main land, and the lower the SMP, the more economically feasible the green hydrogen-based sector coupling is. Furthermore, this study suggests that the policy goal of completely reducing curtailment is not economically efficient.

Power supply system & environment have been changed according to the universal global electrification, the pursuit of improving productivity and the convenience of life. The various kinds of modem electric facilities and almost of all kinds of digital devices embedded microprocessor are very sensitive to the supplied power quality variations. So, they are stopped and result in large economic damage when even the deterioration of power quality with short duration is occurred, which was not so fatal to the conventional industrial facilities and devices. Conversely, those facilities and digital devices generate many kinds of power quality problems such as harmonic.;, flicker, voltage drop, etc. This paper presents the status of power quality and outlines the development of a new power quality monitoring system based on the experience of a series of authors' researches and field measurements for industrial customers in Korea. It also proposes the functions of the monitoring device and the efficient analysis method based on the Korean electrical act and international standards on power quality. Finally, the authors suggest some countermeasures for advancing the power quality to cope with the competitive electric power market and customers' needs after domestic restructuring of electric power industry.

펄스형 YAG 레이저 시스템의 효율개선을 위해서는 공진기 및 레이저 전원장치의 최적화가 필수적이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 공진기 출력거울의 반사율 최적화 및 기존의 전원보다 훨씬 컴팩하고, 경제적이며 가공목적에 따라 출력을 정밀하게 제어할 수 있는 새로운 방식의 레이저시스템을 설계 및 제작하였다. 그 결과 50[W]급의 펄스형 Nd:YAG 레이저 시스템에서는 출력거울의 반사율이 85%일 때 최대 출력을 나타내었다. 그리고 3단 병렬 충ㆍ방전 방식의 전원시스템은 3개의 콘덴서가 순차적으로 충ㆍ방전함으로서 1개의 콘덴가 충ㆍ방전하는 방식보다 더 많은 에너지를 플래쉬램프에 전달할 수 있어 더 높은 출력을 얻을 수가 있었다. 실험을 통해 제시한 방법의 타당성을 검증하였다.

Network congestion is important problem that must be managed for active power contracts in deregulated power industry. Existing network partition technique is based on statistical method don't suggest clear network partition criterion. So in this paper we proposed a new network partition technique using the marginal cost sensitivity to fairly allocate congestion cost to network user.
