There are several methods of peak-shaving, which reduces grid power demand, electricity bought from electricity utility, through lowering “demand spike” during On-Peak period. An optimization method using linear programming is proposed, which can be used to perform peak-shaving of grid power demand for grid-connected PV+ system. Proposed peak shaving method is based on the forecast data for electricity load and photovoltaic power generation. Results from proposed method are compared with those from On-Off and Real Time methods which do not need forecast data. The results also compared to those from ideal case, an optimization method which use measured data for forecast data, that is, error-free forecast data. To see the effects of forecast error 36 error scenarios are developed, which consider error types of forecast, nMAE (normalizes Mean Absolute Error) for photovoltaic power forecast and MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error) for load demand forecast. And the effects of forecast error are investigated including critical error scenarios which provide worse results compared to those of other scenarios. It is shown that proposed peak shaving method are much better than On-Off and Real Time methods under almost all the scenario of forecast error. And it is also shown that the results from our method are not so bad compared to the ideal case using error-free forecast.

This essay presents an anthropological approach to embodied skills in brand rituals. In an ethnographic account of an everyday domestic practice of men’s shaving, this essay argues that men who apply skill to ritualized shaving practices evoke particular sensorial dimensions that elicit certain memories and ideals that situate time and place differently for them. Rather than evaluate ritual semiotically for its signs and symbols, this study “brings into being” (Ingold 2013) skilled human activity with branded material in ritual as it explores sensory awareness and environmental-temporal consumer perceptions of time and place. As such, this essay examines the less obvious and less frequently addressed issue of time and place as they occur in embodied practices of everyday consumption. The human body is suggested as a particular consumption site for applying skillful embodiment and a new conception of ritual.

연구에서는 수염에 대한 면도력을 향상시킬 수 있는 화장료 제형 개발을 위하여 대면용 화장료에서 사용 가능한 우레아 및 여러 항산화제의 수염 강도 약화 효과를 연구하였다. 실제 모발 강도 약화 효과는 우레아 농도 에 의존적인 성향을 보였으며, 모발 면적 증가율 역시 농도에 의존적인 것으로 나타나 우레아 농도에 따라 모발 의 수화 정도가 달라지며 이것이 강도 약화에 영향을 주는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 항산화제는 종류에 따라 소량 으로도 뛰어난 강도 감소 효과를 보이며, 이는 모발에 다량 존재하는 시스틴 결합을 환원시키기 때문으로 해석된 다. 마지막으로 대면용으로서의 적합성 판단을 위해 우레아 및 항산화제의 in vitro 안전성 테스트를 진행하였다. 안전성 테스트 결과 우레아는 대면용으로 사용하기 적합한 정도로 나타났으며, 항산화제 중에서는 글루타치온이 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 위 결과들을 통해 피부 자극이 적고 모발 강도 약화 효과가 뛰어나 면도용 제품에 적용 하기 적합한 원료는 우레아 및 글루타치온임을 알 수 있었다.
