This paper presents optimal placement of minimal set of phasor measurement units(PMU's) and observability of measurement system with PMU. By using the incidence matrix symbolic method which directly assigns measurement and pseudo-measurement to incidence matrix, it is much simpler and easier to analyze observability. The optimal PMU set is found through the simulated-annealing(SA) and the direct combinational method. The cooling schedule parameter which is suitable to the property of problem to solve is specified and optimal placement is proven by presented direct combinational method. Search spaces are limited within reasonable feasible solution region to reduce a unnecessary one in the SA implementation based on global search. The proposed method presents to save CPU time and estimate state vectors based on optimal PMU set.

This paper presents optimal placement of minimal set of Phasor Measurement Units (PMU's) and observability analysis of the network with PMU's. In order to find a observable system, a symbolic method which directly assigns an appropriate symbol for measurement or pseudo-measurement to every entry of node-branch incidence matrix is proposed. It is much simpler and easier to analyze the observability of the network with PMU's than the conventional ones. For the optimal PMU placement problem, two approaches which are based on a modified Simulated-Annealing (SA) method and a Direct Combination method are proposed. Some case studies with IEEE sample system are made to show the performance of the proposed methods are almost alike and more effective than the conventional simulated-annealing method. It is also shown that the Direct Combination method is more effective than the modified simulated-annealing one in the sense of computation burden. The results of this study showed also that the accuracy of power system estimation and system observability can be improved the proposed PMU placements.

Prunus mume is a culturally significant fruit tree in East Asia that is widely used in traditional foods and medicines. The present study investigated the effects of sunlight exposure and leaf position on the photosynthetic efficiency of P. mume using SPAD values. The study was conducted at Cheongju National University of Education, Korea, under contrasting conditions between sunny (Site A) and shaded (Site B) areas on P. mume trees. Over three days, under varied weather, photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) and SPAD measurements were collected using a SPAD-502 plus chlorophyll meter and a smartphone PPFD meter application. The SPAD values of the 60 leaves were measured in triplicate for each tree. The results indicated that trees in sunny locations consistently exhibited higher SPAD values than those in shaded areas, implying greater photosynthetic efficiency. Moreover, leaves positioned higher in the canopy showed increased photosynthetic efficiency under different light conditions, underscoring the significance of leaf placement and light environment in photosynthetic optimization. Despite the daily sunlight variability, these factors maintained a consistent influence on SPAD values. This study concludes that optimal leaf positioning, influenced by direct sunlight exposure, significantly enhances photosynthetic efficiency in P. mume. These findings highlight the potential of integrating smart farming techniques, especially open-field smart farming technology, to improve photosynthesis and, consequently, crop yield and efficiency. The findings also highlight the need for further exploration of environmental factors affecting photosynthesis for agricultural advancement.

노지 토양의 효율적인 수분관리를 위해서는 토양수분센서를 알맞게 사용하여야 하며, 특히 노지 과수와 같이 넓은 뿌리환경을 가지는 토양 환경에서는 적합한 센서 설치 위치가 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 실험에서는 노지 과수원에서 다양한 거리와 깊이에 토양수분장력 센서를 설치하여 각 위치의 토양수분장력 값을 측정하고, 센서 설치 위치에 따른 토양수분 변화 정도를 비교하여, 이에 따른 최적 토양수분센서 설치 위치를 알아보기 위해 수행하였다. 국내 두 지역에 위치한 사과 및 배 과수원에서 각 과수의 수간으로부터 거리 20, 40, 60cm, 토양표면으로부터 깊이 10, 20, 30cm로 각각 9개의 토양수분장력센서(TEROS 21, METER Group)를 설치하여 2년간의 토양수분장력 변화 정도를 비교 분석하였다. 두 과수원 모두 센서가 과수의 수간으로부터 가까울수록, 토양의 표면으로부터 얕게 설치되어 있을수록 토양수분장력 값의 변화 정도가 크게 나타났으며, 20cm × 10cm(과수의 수간으로부터 거리 × 토양표면으로부터 깊이) 지점에서의 토양수분장력 값의 변화 정도가 가장 큰 것으로 나타나 토양수분센서 설치에 가장 적합한 지점으로 판단되었다. 그러나 연도가 달라짐에 따라 과수의 뿌리가 생장하며 센서 설치 위치에 따른 토양수분장력의 변화 정도 양상이 조금씩 변하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 노지과수와 같이 장기간 재배하는 작물의 토양수분 환경을 알맞게 측정하기 위해서는 현장에서의 주기적인 토양수분 변화 관찰 및 보완을 통해 센서 설치 위치를 변경하는 노력도 필요할 것으로 나타났다.
