Optimal Distributed Generation (DG) output and reconfiguration are among the well accepted approach to reduce power loss in a distribution network. In the past, most of the researchers employed optimal DG output and reconfiguration separately. In this work, a simultaneous DG output and reconfiguration analysis is proposed to maximize power loss reduction. The impact of the separated analysis and simultaneous analysis are investigated. The test result on the 33 bus distribution network with 3 units of DG operated in PV mode showed the simultaneous analysis gave the lowest power loss (global optimal) and faster results compared to other combined methods. All the analyses for optimizing the DG as well as reconfiguration are used the Artificial Bee Colony Optimization technique.

본 연구에서는 위상최적화에 기초한 발전설비용 버터플라이 밸브 디스크 부품의 경량설계가 수행되었다. 이때 상용 유한요소해석 소프트웨어가 사용되었으며 기존 상용 밸브 디스크의 외형을 유지시키면서 내부의 불필요 공간을 제거하여 경량구조를 갖도록 하였다. 먼저 밸브 디스크의 원판과 브라켓을 분리하여 각각 최적설계 하였다. 최적의 형상이 선정되면 이들을 조립하여 3차원 경량 밸브 디스크 모델을 완성하였다. 이후 이 모델에 설계 압력을 적용하여 유한요소해석 후 구조적 안전성을 확인하였다.

Recently molybdenum alloys have been introduced as accident tolerating materials for cladding of fuel rods. Molybdenum element has seven stable isotopes with different neutron absorption cross section used in various fields, including nuclear physics and radioisotope production. This study presents separation approaches for all intermediate isotopes of molybdenum element by squared-off cascades using a newly developed numerical code with Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA) optimization algorithm. The parameters of cascade including feed flow rate, feed entry stage, cascade cut, input feed flow rate to gas centrifuges (GCs), and cut of the first stage are optimized to maximize both isotope recovery and cascade capacity. The squared off and squared cascades are studied, and the efficiencies are compared. The results obtained from the optimization showed that for the selected squared off cascade, Mo⁹⁴ in four separation steps, Mo⁹⁵ in five steps, Mo⁹⁶ in six steps, Mo⁹⁷ in seven steps, and Mo⁹⁸ in two steps are separated to the desired concentrations. The highest recovery factor is obtained 63% for Mo⁹⁴ separation and lowest recovery factor is found 45% for Mo⁹⁵.

수요관리를 통해 전기요금을 절감할 수 있다. 부하의 수요 관리 방법 중 하나로 ESS를 설치해 수요가 높은 시간대의 부하를 수요가 낮은 시간대로 옮기는 peak shifting을 사용함으로써 최대 부하를 낮추고 전력량 요금을 절감할 수 있다. 전기요금은 계약 용량 당 기본요금과 전력량 요금으로 이루어져있다. 전력량 요금을 최소화하기 위한 최적화 수행시 목적함수는 선형식으로 표현할 수 있으며, 기본 요금 최소화를 위한 목적함수는 이차식으로 표현할 수 있다. 선형식으로 표현된 목적함수에서는 ESS PCS(Power Conversion System)의 충, 방전 효율이 다른 경우를 다룰 수 없기 때문에 본 논문에서 충, 방전 효율이 다른 경우의 영향을 반영하고 혼합정수계획법(MILP, Mixed Integer Linear Programming)을 이용할 수 있는 정식을 제시하였다. 혼합정수계획법을 사용한 정식에서는 사전에 정해진 최대 부하 절감율에 대해 전기요금 최소화를 수행하게 되지만 최대 부하 절감과 전기요금 절감을 동시에 고려하기 위해서는 이차 계획법을 사용하는 것이 유용하다. 본 논문에서는 각 최적화 방법에 대한 장, 단점을 도시철도 변전소에 대한 시뮬레이션 결과를 정량적으로 비교분석하여 ESS 설비계획수립에 적합한 최적화 방법을 선택할 수 있는 근거를 제시하였다.

A numerical investigation has been carried out about the performance of a 500MW class tangentially coal-fired boiler, focusing on the optimization of separated overfire air (SOFA) position to reduce NOx emission. For this purpose, a comprehensive combination of NOx chemistry models has been employed in the numerical simulation of a particle-laden flow along with solid fuel combustion and heat and mass transfer. A reasonable agreement has been shown in baseline cases for predicted operational parameters compared with experimental data measured in the boiler. A further SOFA calculation has been made to obtain optimum elevation and position of SOFA port. Additionally, clarifying on the effect of SOFA on NOx emission has been carried out in the coal-fired boiler. As a result, this paper is valuable to provide an information about the optimum position of SOFA and the mechanism by which the SOFA would affect NOx emission.

We have demonstrated the optimization of white organic light-emitting diodes with two separated emissive layers using a blue fluorescent and a red phosphorescent dopant. The maximum luminous efficiency of the devices showed 7.93, 9.70, 11.8, and 14.3 cd/A. The $CIE_{xy}$ coordinates also showed (x = 0.33, y = 0.36), (x = 0.33, y = 0.35), (x =0.31, y = 0.35), and (x = 0.29, y = 0.36) at 6V, respectively.

반도체 칩 캡슐화성형시 칩 캐비티에서의 유동을 보다 엄밀하게 모델링하고 해석하기 위한 연구가 이루어졌다. 리드프레임에서의 구멍부위를 통과하는 유동의 모델링을 시도하였고 리드프레임에서의 열 경계조건을 정확하게 취급하였다. 유동의 이론적 해석을 위해 헬레쇼오 모델을 채택하였고 리드프레임에 의해 아래 위로 분리된 각각의 캐비티로 가정하여 해석하였다. 리드프레임에서 구멍부위를 통과하는 유동은 헬레쇼오 모델링시에 질량 소스(source) 항으로 삽입되었다. 유동해석 프로그램과 콤플렉스 방법에 기반을 둔 최적화 프로그램을 연계하여 미성형 방지를 위한 최적 공정조건을 성공적으로 정확하게 얻어낼 수 있었다.

Effects of design variables on the performance of a double-inlet centrifugal blower have been analyzed based on the three-dimensional flow analysis. Two design variables, blade inlet and outlet angles, are introduced to enhance a blower performance. General analysis code, ANSYS-CFX13, is employed to analyze internal flow and a blower performance. SST turbulence model is employed to estimate the eddy viscosity. Throughout the shape optimization of an impeller at the design flow condition, the blower efficiency and pressure are successfully increased by 4.7 and 1.02 percent compared to reference one. It is noted that separated flow observed near cut-off region can be reduced by optimal design of blade angles, which results in stable flow pattern in the blade passage and increase of a blower performance. The stable flow at the impeller also makes good effects at the outlet of a volute casing.

Semiconductor research and development(R&D) fabs are very different than production fabs in many ways such as the scales of production, job priority, production methods, and performance measures. Efficient operations of R&D fabs are very important to the development of new product, process stability, high yield, and ultimately company competitiveness. This paper proposes the fab-wide scheduling method for operational optimization of the R&D fabs. Most scheduling systems of semiconductor fabs have only focused on maximizing throughput of each separated areas without considering WIP(works in process) flows of entire fab. In this paper, we proposes the a fab-wide scheduling system which schedules all lots to entire fab equipment at once. We develop the MIP(mixed integer programing) model which allocates the lots to production equipment considering many constraints of all processes and the CP(constraint programming) model which determines the sequences of the lots in the production equipment. The proposed FAB-wide scheduling model is applied to the newly constructed R&D fab. As a result, we have accomplished the system based automated job reservation, decrease of the hot lot delay, increase of the queue time satisfaction, the high throughput by maximizing the batch sizes, decrease of the WIP TAT(Turn Around Time).

The High speed electrical multiple train having a distributed electrical motor system has just been developing to aim the experimental maximum speed at 400km/h since August, 2007. This project comes in stage of basic design and so, it needs to take some review and analysis the characteristics of suspensions on the view of basic design. The vehicle model for dynamic analysis is made from the concept design model that used for the preliminary design review with Vampire program and it is modeled with three linear secondary dampers and two shear springs separated from the bush elements in previous model. The optimization technique is applied to search the proper range of linear characteristics for the suspension elements to satisfy the stability performance at speed 130m/s (about 460km/h). The results shows there are some optimum points according to the variation of primary and secondary suspension characteristics and it would be useful to make a decision to select the proper suspension elements in the precision design that will be done by the manufacturing company.
