PURPOSES: The aim of this study is to analyze overloading control effectiveness of enforcing overweighted vehicles using HS-WIM (High-Speed Weigh-in-Motion) at main lane of expressway. METHODS: To analyze the weight distribution statistically, HS-WIM system should has an appropriate weighing accuracy. Thus, the weighing accuracy of the two HS-WIM systems was estimated by applying European specifications and ASTM (American Standards for Testing and Materials) for WIM in this study. Based on the results of accuracy test, overweight enforcement system has been operated at main lanes of two expressway routes in order to provide weight informations of overweighted vehicle in real time for enforcement squad. To evaluate the overloading control effectiveness with enforcement, traffic volume and axle loads of trucks for two months at the right after beginning of the enforcement were compared with data set for same periods before the enforcement. RESULTS: As the results of weighing accuracy test, both WIM systems were accepted to the most precise type that can be useful to applicate not only statistical purpose but enforcing on overweight vehicles directly. After the enforcement, the rate of overweighted trucks that weighed over enforcement limits had been decreased by 27% compared with the rate before the enforcement. Especially, the rate of overweighted trucks that weighed over 48 tons had been decreased by 91%. On the other hand, in counterpoint to decrease of the overweighted vehicle, the rate of trucks that weighed under enforcement limits had been increased by 7%. CONCLUSIONS: From the results, it is quite clear that overloading has been controlled since the beginning of the enforcement.

In designing System Protection Schemes (SPSs) in power systems, protecting transmission network against extreme undesired conditions becomes a significant challenge in mitigating the transmission line overloading. This paper presents an intelligent Special Protection and Control Scheme (SPCS) using of Differential Evolution with Adaptive Mutation (DEAM) approach to obtain the optimum generation rescheduling to solve the transmission line overloading problem in system contingency conditions. DEAM algorithm employs the attraction-repulsion idea that is applied in the electromagnetism-like algorithm to support the mutation process of the conventional Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm. Different N-1 contingency conditions under base and increase load demand are considered in this paper. Simulation results have been compared with those acquired from Genetic Algorithm (GA) application. Minimum severity index has been considered as the objective function. The final results show that the presented DEAM method offers better performance than GA in terms of faster convergence and less generation fuel cost. IEEE 30-bus test system has been used to prove the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed algorithm.

본 논문에서는 UPFC(Unified Power Flow Controller)설치 전력계통에서 어떤 선로의 전력조류를 원하는 값으로 직접 제어함과 동시에 계통 전체의 전력조류해석을 행하는 선로조류제약을 고려한 전력조류해석 알고리즘을 제시하고 이 알고리즘을 UPFC에 의한 과부하선로의 과부하해소제어에 적용하여 UPFC 제어 방법을 제시하고 사례연구를 통하여 UPFC의 제어효과의 효용성을 입증하였다. 또한 효과적인 조류해석을 위한 UPFC의 직·병렬 전압원의 초기치를 설정하는 공식을 유도하였다.

최근 들어 국내 전기철도가 고속 대용량화되고 새로운 전력반도체 기술이 전력변환장치에 채용되면서 이로 인해 AT급전계통에 전압강하 등 전력품질 문제가 대두되고 있다. 지금까지 급전계통의 전압강하 대책으로는 직렬콘덴서(SC)를 주로 설치/운용하였으나 기술적인 한계로 인해 충분한 효과를 달성하지 못하고 있으며 고조파 공진현상도 새롭게 문제시 되고 있다. 또한 신규 전기철도 건설에 따른 전철변전소 위치확보 문제와 운행선로에서의 수송량 증가에 따른 열차 증량편성 및 시격(열차운행시간 간격)단축으로 인한 부하 중대가 예상되고 있으며, 급전사고로 인한 인근 전철변전소로부터의 연장급전 운용 등도 고려해야 하므로 이에 따른 급전시스템의 전압강하 및 전력품질 보상 대책이 요구되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 효과적인 보상대책 설비의 하나로 TSC방식 SVC를 전기철도의 AT 급전시스템에 적용하는 방안을 검토하고 PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다.

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures with low-strength RC columns are rampant in several countries, especially those constructed during the early 1960s and 1970s. The weakness of these structures due to overloading or some natural disasters such as earthquakes and building age effects are some of the main reasons to collapse, particularly with the scarcity of data on the impact of aspect ratio and corner radius on the confinement effectiveness. Hence, it is crucial to investigate if these columns (with different aspect ratios) can be made safe by strengthening them with carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) sheets. Therefore, experimental and numerical studies of CFRP-strengthened low-strength reinforced concrete short rectangular, square, and circular columns were studied. In this investigation, a total of 6 columns divided into three sets were evaluated. The first set had two circular cross-sectional columns, the second set had two square cross-section columns, and the third set has two rectangular cross-section columns. Furthermore, FEM validation has been conducted for some of the experimental results obtained from the literature. The experimental results revealed that the confinement equations for RC columns as per both CSA and ACI codes could give incorrect results for low-strength concrete. The control specimen (unstrengthened ones) displayed that both ACI and CSA equations overestimate the ultimate strength of low-strength RC columns by order of extent. For strengthened columns with CFRP, the code equations of CSA and ACI code overestimate the maximum strength by around 6 to 13% and 23 to 29%, respectively, depending on the cross-section of the column (i.e., square, rectangular, or circular). Results of finite element models (FEMs) showed that increasing the layer number of new commonly CFRP type (B) from one to 3 for circular columns can increase the column's ultimate loads by around eight times compared to unjacketed columns. However, in the case of strengthened square and rectangular columns with CFRP, the increase of the ultimate loads of columns can reach up to six times and two times, respectively.
