무선 통신과 하드웨어 설계기술의 발전으로 사용자가 휴대용 장치를 사용하여, 그들의 물리적인 위치에 상관없이 통신을 할 수 있는 이동 컴퓨팅이라는 새로운 패러다임이 생겨났다. 이러한 이동 단말기를 이용한 이동 컴퓨팅은 비연결성, 낮은 대역, 높은 대역의 가변성, 이질망과의 연결, 보안성, 저 전력, 작은 저장공간 등의 제약성을 가지고 있다. 이러한 제약중의 하나인 전원장치의 부족을 극복하기 위하여 두 노드간의 거리에 따라 송신전력을 조정하는 방식인 전력 조절 라우팅 기법(Power Adaption Routing Scheme)이 사용된다. 기존 알고리즘에서는 라우팅 경로를 찾기 위해 소비 전력만을 고려하여 다음 노드를 선택하기 때문에, 최종 목적노드로 최단 거리를 많이 이탈할 수 있고, 또한 전력소비를 최소화하기 위한 라우팅에 참여해야 하는 최적의 노드 수 보다 많은 노드가 라우팅에 참여하여 소비 전력의 낭비를 가져온다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 기존 저전력 소비 라우팅 알고리즘의 단점을 보완하여 라우팅 목적노드로의 점진적인 근접성과 최적의 라우팅 참여 노드 수를 동시에 고려한 새로운 저전력 알고리즘을 제안하고 성능을 분석하였다.

During an AC motor's start-up accelerating period, a large amount of current is required to reach to the rating speed. This is called in-rush current. This peak in-rush current can be more than about several times the operating or steady-state current in the full load rating of the motor. In-rush current is present in both and electronic ballasts. The main area of concern is the tripping of circuit breaker and fuses which can affect electrical system components From this, we can see that the electrical power controllers will be rather concerned, since they have to supply the actual current necessary to start the motor. This paper presents a new method to reducing in-rush current and energy saving of the single-phase induction motor used in air-conditioner. It can be obtained that proposed system is low cost and small size as compared with other controller. Experiments are focused on a capacitor starting single-phase induction motor. The optimal power saving and in-rush current limiting by phase angle control are verified by experimental results. Also, auxiliary winding was controlled by electronic starting switch.

With the increasing deployment of distributed generators in the distribution system, a very large search space is required when dynamic programming (DP) is applied for the optimized dispatch schedules of voltage and reactive power controllers such as on-load tap changers, distributed generators, and shunt capacitors. This study proposes a new optimal voltage and reactive power scheduling method based on dynamic programming with a heuristic searching space reduction approach to reduce the computational burden. This algorithm is designed to determine optimum dispatch schedules based on power system day-ahead scheduling, with new control objectives that consider the reduction of active power losses and maintain the receiving power factor. In this work, to reduce the computational burden, an advanced voltage sensitivity index (AVSI) is adopted to reduce the number of load-flow calculations by estimating bus voltages. Moreover, the accumulated switching operation number up to the current stage is applied prior to the load-flow calculation module. The computational burden can be greatly reduced by using dynamic programming. Case studies were conducted using the IEEE 30-bus test systems and the simulation results indicate that the proposed method is more effective in terms of saving electric charges and improving the voltage profile than loss minimization.

Building energy saving is one of the most important issues in these days. Energy saving control strategies should be developed properly to achieve the saving. One of such area we could apply is the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning) system. Through the optimal control algorithm for building energy management system (EMS), you can not only save the cost of building energy, but also protect HVAC system components against the unexpected condition. In order to verify the effectiveness of building energy saving, field test was accomplished for several months at 'A' building. And to get the measured data, remote control was used. If the remote control is used in BAS (Building Automation System), control and monitoring can be done for all of the building systems, such as HVAC, power, lighting, security and fire-alarm etc. anywhere any time. Using the remote control, Control and monitoring is possible for the testing system without going there. As the results of field test, we could reduce $5{\sim}10\%$ of the building energy cost.

This paper presents simulated and experimental test results of optimal control algorithm for an encapsulated ice thermal storage system with full capacity chiller operation. The algorithm finds an optimal combination of a chiller and/or a storage tank operation for the minimum total operation cost through a cycle of charging and discharging. Dynamic programming is used to find the optimal control schedule. The conventional control strategy of chiller-priority is the baseline case for comparing with the optimal control strategy through simulation and experimental test. Simulation shows that operating cost for the optimal control with chiller on-off operation is not so different from that with chiller part load capacity control. As a result from the experimental test, the optimal control operation according to the simulated operation schedule showed about 14 % of cost saving compared with the chiller-priority control.

The paper proposes an optimal sizing method of a customer's battery energy storage system (BESS) which aims at managing the electricity demand of the customer to minimize electricity cost under the time of use(TOU) pricing. Peak load limit of the customer and charging and discharging schedules of the BESS are optimized on annual basis to minimize annual electricity cost, which consists of peak load related basic cost and actual usage cost. The optimal scheduling is used to assess the maximum cost savings for all sets of candidate capacities of BESS. An optimal size of BESS is determined from the cost saving curves via capacity of BESS. Case study uses real data from an apartment-type factory customer and shows how the proposed method can be employed to optimally design the size of BESS for customer demand management.

최근에 많은 연구가 진행되고 있는 무선 ad-hoc 네트워크는 전력 제한 시스템이기 때문에 전력 절약은 ad-hoc 네트워크의 매우 중요한 연구 주제 중 하나이다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 무선 ad-hoc 네트워크에 기회전송 릴레이(Opportunistic transmission relay) 시스템을 적용하였을 때, 전체 시스템의 오수신율이 최소가 되도록 제한된 전력을 각 송신 노드에 최적으로 할당하는 방법에 관하여 제안하고 각 값들을 수식적으로 유도하였다. 유도한 결과는 각 노드들에 통일한 전력을 할당할 때보다 시스템의 오수신 특성이 항상 우수하였다.

This paper considers a wideband cognitive radio network which can simultaneously sense multiple narrowband channels and thus aggregate the detected available channels for transmission and proposes a novel cognitive radio system that exhibits improved sensing throughput and can save power consumption of secondary user (SU) compared to the conventional cognitive radio system studied so far. More specifically, under the proposed cognitive radio system, we study the problem of designing the optimal sensing time and power allocation strategy, in order to maximize the ergodic throughput of the proposed cognitive radio system under two different schemes, namely the wideband sensing-based spectrum sharing scheme and the wideband opportunistic spectrum access scheme. In our analysis, besides the average interference power constraint at primary user, the average transmit power constraint of SU is also considered for the two schemes and then a subgradient algorithm is developed to obtain the optimal sensing time and the corresponding power allocation strategy. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to verify the performance of the two proposed schemes.
