The larger and the more complicated the system size and configuration grow, the more serious the system loss problem becomes. Exessive system loss causes severs system voltage depression, which even may result in system voltage collapse. This paper proposes an effective tool for minimizing the system power loss by optimal re-location of the static condenser based on the system loss sensitivity index .lambda.$_{Q}$. It is possible to determine the optimal location and amount of VAR investment for minimizing the system loss by priority of .lambda.$_{Q}$ index given for each bus. Several computational techniques for avoiding divergency of the load flow solution are proposed. The loss sensitivity index .lambda.$_{Q}$ uses information of normal power flow equations and their Jacobians. Two case studies proved the effectiveness of the algorithm proposed.posed.

In this paper, a new voltage collapse proximity index (VCPI) based on system apparent power loss sensitivity is proposed. The newly proposed index .lambda.$^{Sloss}$ reaches -.inf. at system voltage collapse point and can be represented by .root..lambda.$^{Ploss}$$^{2}$+.lambda.$^{Qloss}$$^{2}$ where .lambda.$^{Ploss}$ and .lambda.$^{Qloss}$ are the VCPI based on the system active and reactive power loss sensitivity respectively. These indices can be used for the system VAR investment. .DELTA.Q [VAR] is invested, step by step, by the priority of the VCPI index given for each bus. The indices use information from normal power flow equations and their Jacobians. Computation time for deriving .lambda.$^{Sloss}$ is almost same as that for power flow calculation. Two case studies prove the effectiveness of the .lambda.$^{Sloss}$ index and the VAR investment algorithm proposed.

Recent years voltage collapse phenomenon have a great attention to power system engineers. As the system size increases the voltage problem shows a very complicated and the reactive power contol problem becomes more difficult. This paper gives an efficient methods for calculating voltage collapse proximity index based on the reactive power loss sensitivity and real power loss sensitivity. The system voltages are tightly associated with the system reactive power, so the proposed voltage collapse proximity index is very usefull for the system voltage control problems. Numerical examples showed a good and reliable results.

In this paper, a MW-Mvar investment technique focused on minimizing the system loss is presented. An optimization technique, in which the system loss is defined as the objective function and the power flow equations as the constraints, is introduced to obtain the Lagrangian multipliers λP and λQ. The Lagrangian multipliers imply the variation of the system loss with respect to incremental bus power and are used as MW-Mvar investment indices for minimizing the system loss. ΔP MW and ΔQ Mvar are invested, step by step, by the priority of λP and λQ index given for each bus. Derivation of the index uses the information from normal power flow calculation.

The placement of the UPFC is the major concern to ensure the full potential of utilization in the transmission network. Voltage stability enhancement with the optimal placement of UPFC using stability index such as modal analysis, Voltage Phasor method is made and the loss minimization including UPFC is formulated as an optimization problem. This paper proposes particle swarm optimization for the exact real power loss minimization including UPFC. The implementation of loss minimization for the optimal location of UPFC was tested with IEEE-14 and IEEE-57 bus system.

The sprinkler head is a component of the sprinkler system intended to discharge water for automatic detection and extinguishment of fires. On this study, thermal characteristic values affecting the sensitivity of the fusible alloy type sprinkler head were obtained and analyzed under heated air stream condition which had constant temperature and velocity. The experiment was carried out under the forced convection condition with both the conductive heat loss considered and neglected. The thermal characteristic values of the sprinkler head were obtained in accordance with the material and shape of the heat responsive element and the conditions of the main body.

This paper proposes an optimal load shedding algorithm by which the system loss can be minimized when the load shedding is unavoidable in case of severe contingency such as the outage of key generators or lines. Shedding load .DELTA.S = .DELTA.P + J.DELTA.Q(MVA) is performed on the weakest bus (on the view of voltage stability), step by step, by the priority of the I.DELTA. = SQRT(.lambda.$\_$P/$\^$2/ + .lambda.$\_$Q/$\^$2/) index given for each load bus, where .lambda.$\_$P/ and .lambda.$\_$Q/ are the sensitivity indices representing the system loss variation versus active and reactive power change of the bus load bus. All loads are assumed to be constant power loads for convenience. A 5 bus sample system proves the effectiveness of the algorithm proposed.

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.

열감지기는 화재시 발생되는 열을 감지하는 것으로 모든 소방대상물에 일반적으로 사용되는 자동화재탐지설비의 중요한 핵심 요소이다. 열감지기는 스포트(spot)형과 분포형으로 구분되며, 스포트형에는 차동식과 정온식이 있다. 이러한 열감지기는 실제 화재시 작동시간 및 작동온도 등 반응의 민감도에 따라 인명과 재산 손실에 큰 영향을 준다. 국내에서는 스프링클러 헤드제품에 응답시간지수를 도입하여 사용하고 있으나, 열감지기에 대해서는 현재 적용이 되어지지 않고 있으며, 반응의 민감도를 표시하는 응답시간지수의 도입이 필수적으로 본 연구에서는 국내 생산된 정온식 스포트형 열감지기와 다이아프램형 및 반도체 형식의 차동식 스포트형 열감지기에 대하여 풍동실험 및 화재실험을 통하여 응답시간지수, 작동시간, 작동온도 등에 대하여 연구하였다. 응답시간지수를 적용한 열감지기를 설치하여 신속한 경보로 인한 국민의 생명과 재산손실을 줄이는데 도움을 주고자 한다.
