The Hybrid Safety Injection Tank is a passive safety injection system that enables the safety injection water to be injected into the reactor pressure vessel throughout all operating pressures by connecting the top of the SIT and the pressurizer(PZR). In this study, the condition for balancing the pressure between the Hybrid SIT and PZR was derived theoretically. The pressure balancing condition was set at the point where the velocity of the Hybrid SIT coolant injected into the Direct Vessel Injection(DVI) line was at or above zero. If the condition was derived from a pressure network for the Hybrid SIT, pressurizer, and reactor pressure vessel, the pressure difference between the pressurizer and SIT is less than 0.07 MPa.

In the event of loss of coolant accident (LOCA) and station black out (SBO) in the primary system of a nuclear reactor, the coolant water should be injected to reactor coolant system (RCS) without any intervention of operators or active components. To satisfy the requirements, hybrid safety injection tank (Hybrid SIT) was suggested by Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). The pressure equalizing time of Hybrid SIT is an important parameter to determine the timing of coolant injection. To predict the pressure equalizing time of the Hybrid SIT, a separate effect test facility was constructed and sensitivity tests were conducted in various conditions. The main parameter determining the pressure equalizing time was obtained from separate effect test (SET) results. The wall of condensation on the inner wall of SIT and direct contact condensation on the water surface affected to the pressure equalizing time very much. In this study, the effect of each condensation phenomena on pressure equalizing time was quantitatively analyzed from results of SET and a prediction method of pressure equalizing time was proposed.

50kW급 동체회전형 파력발전시스템(WEC;wave energy converter)의 전력변환장치(PTO; power take-off)를 설계 제작한 후 성능시험을 하였다. 파력발전시스템은 2개의 실린더형 동체가 회전관절로 연결된 구조로 수면의 반정도 잠기는 구조로 되어있다. 파랑에 의해 유도된 회전관전의 움직임이 유압실린더에 힘을 가해주며, 유압실린더는 고압의 작동유를 축압기를 경유하여 발전기에 체결된 유압모터로 공급한다. 유압식 PTO은 유압실린더가 왕복운동하는 움직임을 이용하여 고품질의 전력을 생산하는데 효과전인 수단을 제공한다. 파력발전시스템의 경제성은 PTO의 에너지 변환 효율에 크게 의존한다. 발전기를 AC 380V 전력계통에 연계시킨 후, 발전기에서 나오는 출력이 5, 20, 35, 43kW 일때 PTO 전체와 개별기기에 대한 효율을 측정하였다. 본 논문에서 유압식 PTO시스템의 설계에 대해 설명하였으며 효율 향상에 초점을 맞추어 PTO 성능대해 분석하였다.

This paper proposes the differential development of a Taekwondo electronic body protector. For this development, the most suitable sensor system was selected after analyzing and testing various sensor methods (magnetic sensors, electric capacity sensors, contact switch sensors, and piezo-film sensors) that could be applied in the electronic body protector, the selected sensors were distributed to the body and feet to make a more precise hit score, unlike the existing system in which all sensors are centralized on the body. Furthermore, it aims to illuminate using a lightweight film-type piezoelectric sensor on the body protector. In the case of an existing electronic body protector, all sensors and network device were concentrated on the body protector, so users need to purchase a set if they want it. On the other hand, the proposed system cloud can be used individually using a smart scoring WEP program. The effects of decreasing weight by up to 20% were compared with those of the existing system. Setting up a test facility is very difficult, so more study will be needed to analyze the effects of a hit.

Glasshouse heating package technologies to improve energy usage efficiency in winter were developed. Heating package was composed of the ground water source heat pump with heating capacity of 105kW, the aluminum multi-layer thermal curtain with six layers of different materials and the root zone local heater with XL pipes of ${\phi}20mm$. Venlo type glasshouse($461m^2$) with the heating package was compared with the same type and area control glasshouse with the light oil boiler, the usual non-woven fabric thermal curtain with respect to the glasshouse inside temperature, relative humidity, crop growth, and heating energy consumption. The results of test in paprika cultivation glasshouses showed that the air temperature inside glasshouse with aluminum multi-layer thermal curtain was maintained $2.2^{\circ}C$ higher than that of control glasshouse in un-heating night time and the temperature in bed with root zone local heating was $4.7^{\circ}C$ higher than that in bed without local heating. Average heating coefficient of performance(COP) of the ground water source heat pump used in paprika cultivation was 3.7 and the glasshouse inside temperature was maintained at $21^{\circ}C$ of heating set up temperature. The heating energy consumptions per 10a were measured at 14,071L of light oil and 364kWh of electric power for the control glasshouse and 35,082kWh for the glasshouse applied heating package. As results, the heating cost of the glasshouse applied heating package was 87 percent lower than that of control glasshouse. The growths of paprika in glasshouses of control and applied heating package did not show any significant difference.

하천유량자료는 이수, 치수, 수질관리 등의 목적으로 널리 사용되기 때문에 여러 가지 수문관측 자료 중 가장 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 그러나 우리나라의 유량자료는 여러 가지 한계를 가지고 있어서 수문자료로서 제대로 사용되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 특히 홍수기 부자측정 방법에 의해 산정된 유량자료는 측정 여건, 방법, 기기 등의 한계로 인해 그 정확도가 더욱 낮다. 부자에 의한 유량측정은 일정거리를 유하하는 부자의 유하시간을 측정하여 평균유속을 구하고, 사전에 측량된 횡단면으로부터 유하한 개별 부자의 해당 단면적을 구하여 부분 단면적을 구한다. 구해진 개별 부자의 평균유속과 부분 단면적을 곱하여 부분유량을 산출한 후, 각 부분유량을 합하여 전체 유량을 계산한다. 이와같은 부자법은 유속-면적법이 가지고 있는 흐름 단면적 계산, 평균유속 계산의 불확실도 이외에 유하경로에 의한 불확실도, 부자 유하 시간의 불확실도, 유속 보정 계수의 불확실도 등을 포함한다. 기존 홍수 유량측정에 사용하고 있는 부자법은 육안에 의해 부자의 위치를 파악하고, 가상의 횡단선을 통과할 때 육안으로 관측하여 유하시간을 측정하는 방법이기 때문에 정확한 유량측정에 한계가 있다. 뿐만 아니라 측정에 다수의 인원이 필요하며, 홍수시 많은 비가 내리거나, 야간에 측정하는 경우에는 부자의 식별이 곤란하고 측정 여건이 불량하기 때문에 측정에 큰 애로가 있다. GPS를 이용한 전자부자는 자동으로 유속을 측정하기 위해 기존 홍수유량 측정에 사용하던 부자에 전자장치를 추가하는 것을 말한다. 본 연구에서는 GPS와 RF를 기존 봉부자에 추가하여 봉부자의 유속과 봉부자의 괘적을 측정할 수 있는 전자부자를 개발하였다. 개발한 전자부자는 기존 육안에 의한 방식보다 자동으로 정확한 유속 측정이 가능하며, 동시에 여러 개의 봉부자 사용이 가능하여 측정시간 절감이 가능하고, 비가 내리거나 야간에도 자동으로 측정이 가능한 특징을 지니고 있다. 본 연구에서 개발된 전자부자는 3개 주파수 대역을 이용할 수 있도록 개발하여, 총 15개의 부자를 동시에 투하할 수 있도록 개발하였다. 전자부자 시험결과 50m, 100m 구간 유속을 검증한 결과 50m의 경우 최대 평균 5.97%, 평균 2.38%의 상대오차를 나타냈으며, 100m의 경우 최대 5.43%, 평균 1.9%의 상대오차를 나타냈다. 자연하천 유량측정 결과 댐 방류량 대비 기존방법의 경우 약 8.2%의 상대오차를 지니고 있었으며, 전자부자의 경우 약 2.8% 상대오차를 지니고 있어, 기존 부자법에 비해 전자부자법이 5.4%의 상대오차 개선효과를 지니고 있었다. 이와같은 오차의 범위는 실제 하천에서 전자부자를 이용하여 유속측정이 가능함을 나타내는 결과이다.

Image-based traffic information collection systems have entered widespread adoption and use in many countries since these systems are not only capable of replacing existing loop-based detectors which have limitations in management and administration, but are also capable of providing and managing a wide variety of traffic related information. In addition, these systems are expanding rapidly in terms of purpose and scope of use. Currently, the utilization of image processing technology in the field of traffic accident management is limited to installing surveillance cameras on locations where traffic accidents are expected to occur and digitalizing of recorded data. Accurately recording the sequence of situations around a traffic accident in a signal intersection and then objectively and clearly analyzing how such accident occurred is more urgent and important than anything else in resolving a traffic accident. Therefore, in this research, we intend to present a technology capable of overcoming problems in which advanced existing technologies exhibited limitations in handling real-time due to large data capacity such as object separation of vehicles and tracking, which pose difficulties due to environmental diversities and changes at a signal intersection with complex traffic situations, as pointed out by many past researches while presenting and implementing an active and environmentally adaptive methodology capable of effectively reducing false detection situations which frequently occur even with the Gaussian complex model analytical method which has been considered the best among well-known environmental obstacle reduction methods. To prove that the technology developed by this research has performance advantage over existing automatic traffic accident recording systems, a test was performed by entering image data from an actually operating crossroad online in real-time. The test results were compared with the performance of other existing technologies.
