In general, SFCLs can have a negative impact on the protective coordination in power transmission system because of the variable impedance of SFCLs. It is very important to solve the protection problems of the power system for the successful application of SFCLs to real power transmission system. This paper reviews some protection problems which can be caused by the application of 154 kV SFCLs to power transmission systems in South Korea. And then we propose an adaptive protection algorithm to solve the problems. The adaptive protection algorithm uses the real time information of the SFCL system operation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: The method of extracting offshore wind field from SAR satellite images for offshore wind resource assessment shows some discrepancies in the calculated wind speed depending on which of the CMOD algorithms is used. This paper compared different algorithms, such as CMOD_IFR2, CMOD4, CMOD5, in order to find the suitable CMOD algorithm for the southern offshore area of the Korean Peninsula, which belongs to the zone influenced by the archipelago, by calculating the relative errors with reference to the Korea wind map of representative weather days by season. The result is that CMOD-IFR2 shows a tendency towards excessive estimation of wind speed, while CMOD4 shows the lowest RMSE values of wind speed differences with respect to the Korea wind map. Based on this result, we have concluded that, for the southern offshore area of the Korean Peninsula which belongs to the medium-range wind speed zone, CMOD4 is the suitable algorithm.

Abstract: In practice, a train-conflict resolution is decentralized around dispatchers each of whom controls a few segments in a global railway network with her rule-of-thumb to operational data. Conceptually, the global sub-optimality or infeasibility of the decentralized system is resolved by a network controller who coordinates the dispatchers and train operators at the lower layers on a real-time basis. However, such notion of a multi-layer system cannot be effectual unless the top layer is able to provide a global solution soon enough for the dynamic lower layers to adapt in a seamless manner. Unfortunately, a train-conflict resolution problem is NP-hard as formally established in this paper and an effective solution method traded off between computation time and solution quality has been lacking in literature. Thus, we propose a column-generation-based algorithm that exploits the separability of the problem. A key ingredient of the algorithm is an efficient heuristic for the pricing subproblem for column generation. Tested on the real data from the Seoul metropolitan railway network, the algorithm provides near-optimal conflict-free timetables in a few seconds for most cases. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared to the ones of the previous MIP-based heuristic by and the priority-based heuristic by . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: This paper proposes a gait planning and control algorithm for the quadruped robot pet commercialized by Dasarobot, Korea. Reliable motion and online characteristics are the key requisites for the motion planning algorithm of a commercialized robot. At joint control level of the proposed gait control, sample-based interpolation makes joint trajectory tractable for small motor and controller of the miniaturized robot. Centroid body sway ensures walking stability to achieve reliability of the proposed gaits at the motion planning level. By using ground coordinates representation, it is possible to integrate several online gaits and realize a compact and efficient gait planning algorithm. Experimental results are presented to verify the proposed gait planning and control algorithm. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
