스마트 그리드는 기존에 발전소에서 전력을 일방적으로 공급하는 단방향 전력망에 정보기술을 접목하여 전력 공급자와 소비자가 양방향으로 실시간 정보를 교환함으로써 에너지 효율을 최적화하는 방식이다. 스마트그리드의 전력 관리 시스템은 동적인 가격제도와 함께 소비자들에게 전력사용에 대한 정보를 제공함으로써, 수요의 반응을 유도하고, 전력 계통의 투자와 운영에 있어 효율을 향상시키는데 있다. 하지만, 최근 전력 관리 시스템들은 실시간 가격 등 가격 제도에 주로 초점을 두고 있다. 본 논문에서는 가격 제도에 초점을 둔 기존 전력관리 시스템을 개선하여 전력 사용의 효율성에 초점을 둔 전력에너지 운영 관리 시스템을 제안한다. 전력 데이터는 배전반에 설치된 PMU(Phasor Measurement Units)를 통해 수집되며 데이터 마이닝 기법을 통한 분석 방법으로 효율성 높이고자 한다. 또한 전력 부족 및 과잉 공급 시 PMU와 양방향 통신을 통해 제어할 수 있도록 구현 및 실험하여 전력에너지 관리시스템의 효율성을 입증하였다.

IEEE 802.15.4 표준에서 슈퍼프레임 구조는 활성화 구간과 비활성화 구간을 사용하여 낮은 전력 소모를 제공하도록 한다. 하지만 슈퍼프레임의 활성화 구간 동안 통신하는 노드들은 코디네이터와의 거리와는 상관없이 동일한 전송 반경을 샤용하여 데이터를 전송하기 때문에 불필요한 에너지를 낭비하게 된다. 본 논문에서 코디네이터는 통신 영역을 4개의 영역으로 나누고 각 영역에 포함되어 있는 노드는 코디네이터가 전송한 비콘 메시지를 확인하여 송신전력을 설정함으로써 데이터 전송에서 발생하는 전력 소모를 최소화한다. 또한, Cross Layer 프로토콜을 통하여 PAN(personal Area Network) 영역을 구성하도록 하여 메시지 전송 충돌(collision) 현상을 최소화하였다.

The high-temperature steam pipes of thermal power plants are subjected to severe conditions such as creep and fatigue due to the power plant frequently being started up and shut down. To prevent critical pipes from serious damage and possible failure, inspection methods such as computational analysis and online piping displacement monitoring have been developed. However, these methods are limited in that they cannot determine the life consumption rate of a critical pipe precisely. Therefore, we set out to develop a life assessment system, based on a three-dimensional piping displacement monitoring system, which is capable of evaluating the life consumption rate of a critical pipe. This system was installed at the "M" thermal power plant in Malaysia, and was shown to operate well in practice. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the increase safety of piping systems by minimizing stress and extending the actual life of critical piping.

For some low-frequency applications such as power-related circuits, NEM relays have been known to show better performance than MOSFETs. For example, in a step-down charge pump circuit, the NEM relays showed much smaller layout area and better energy efficiency than MOSFETs. However, severe process variations of NEM relays hinder them from being widely used in various low-frequency applications. To mitigate the process-variation problems of NEM relays, in this paper, a new NEM-relay charge pump circuit with the self-adjustment is proposed. By self-adjusting a pulse amplitude voltage according to process variations, the power consumption can be saved by 4.6%, compared to the conventional scheme without the self-adjustment. This power saving can also be helpful in improving the power efficiency of the proposed scheme. From the circuit simulation of NEM-relay charge pump circuit, the efficiency of the proposed scheme is improved better by 4.1% than the conventional.

Energy harvesting is an increasingly attractive source of power for cellular networks, and can be a promising solution for green networks. In this paper, we consider a cellular network with power beacons powering multiple mobile terminals with microwave power transfer in energy beamforming. In this network, the power beacons are powered by grid and renewable energy jointly. We adopt a dual-level control architecture, in which controllers collect information for a core controller, and the core controller has a real-time global view of the network. By implementing the water filling optimized power allocation strategy, the core controller optimizes the energy allocation among mobile terminals within the same cluster. In the proposed green energy cooperation paradigm, power beacons dynamically share their renewable energy by locally injecting/drawing renewable energy into/from other power beacons via the core controller. Then, we propose a new water filling optimized green energy cooperation management strategy, which jointly exploits water filling optimized power allocation strategy and green energy cooperation in cellular networks. Finally, we validate our works by simulations and show that the proposed water filling optimized green energy cooperation management strategy can achieve about 10% gains of MT's average rate and about 20% reduction of on-grid energy consumption.

본 논문의 목표는 열차의 노선 운행을 모의하여 시뮬레이션 상에서 실제 열차 운행과 똑 같은 실험 결과를 얻을 수 있는 프로그램을 만들어, 이를 이용하여 구동 장치의 특성을 평가하고 에너지 절약에 대한 연구를 하는 것이다. 열차 주행 시뮬레이션은 실제 대전 지하철 노선 데이터를 이용하여 출발역에서부터 네 번째 정차역까지 구현한다. 열차의 구동 에너지를 절약하기 위한 전동기 제어 방식과 발전기의 회생 에너지에 관한 연구를 선택한다. 열차의 추진 장치는 (Space Vector Modulation)SVM - (Direct Torque Control)DTC로 구현된 M-G Set으로 구성하여 열차가 주행 시 전동기에서 소비되는 에너지와 제동 시 발전기에서 발생되는 회생 에너지를 Simplorer 프로그램을 이용하여 시뮬레이션 한다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 열차의 소비 에너지와 회생 에너지를 연구한다.

The automated demand response (DR) program encourages consumers to participate in grid operation by reducing power consumption or deferring electricity usage at peak time automatically. However, successful deployment of the automated DR program sphere needs careful assessment of appliances load profile (ALP). To this end, the recent method estimates frequency, consistency, and peak time consumption parameters of the daily ALP to compute their potential score to be involved in the DR event. Nonetheless, as the daily ALP is subject to varying with respect to the DR time ALP, the existing method could lead to an inappropriate estimation; in such a case, inappropriate appliances would be selected at the automated DR operation that effected a consumer comfort level. To address this challenge, we propose a more proper method, in which all the three parameters are calculated using ALP that overlaps with DR time, not the total daily profile. Furthermore, evaluation of our method using two public residential electricity consumption data sets, i.e., REDD and REFIT, shows that our energy management systems (EMS) could properly match a DR target. A more optimal selection of appliances for the DR event achieves a power consumption decreasing target with minimum comfort level reduction. We believe that our approach could prevent the loss of both utility and consumers. It helps the successful automated DR deployment by maintaining the consumers' willingness to participate in the program.

Heat radiation of LED luminaires has risen a problem when applied indoor. LEDs can save energy with higher efficacy than other light sources. However, their heat radiation may increase power consumption for air-conditioning. Therefore, this paper carried out a comparative analysis on the amount of heat radiation for MR16, E26 bulb, and down-light which will be replaced to LED luminaires. Heat amount of LED-MR16 and LED-downlight was 48% and 87.5% lower than that of conventional lamps, halogen MR16 and E26 CFL, respectively. Consequently, the heat amount and indoor temperature were proportional to the power consumption of luminaire. Therefore, the use of LED luminaire can reduce the amount of heat radiation as well as power consumption.

Wind/diesel hybrid operation can be one of the most effective option for electrical power production at a remote area such as Antarctica. The king Sejong station at Antarctica relies its power production on diesel engines and diesel oil is supplied every other year by ships. However, the oil transportation processes are liable to potential oil spillage caused by the floating ice around the King George island. The long-term storage of the oil at the station can also contaminate the surrounding soils. A l0kW wind turbine has been installed to save oil consumption and operated in connection with the diesel generators since 2006. The diesel engine that operated poorly during the first year of installation was replaced in 2008 to enhance power production an recent measurements indicate that both diesel power quality and the wind turbine availability have been dramatically improved by the replacement. This report discusses electrical power qualities of wind/diesel hybrid system operating at an isolated micro gird located in the king Sejong station. Our experience reveals that the similar technologies can be applied to domestic islands, for example, in the south sea.
