Recently, the wind power has experienced great attentions and growths among many renewable energy sources. To increase the power generation performance and economic feasibility, the size of wind turbine (WT) is getting bigger and most of wind power plants are being constructed on offshore. Therefore, the maintenance cost is relatively high because boats or helicopters are needed operators to reach the WT. In order to combat this kind of problem, remote monitoring and control system for the WT is needed. In this paper, the small-scale WT monitoring and control system is implemented using wireless sensor network technologies. To do this, sensor devices are installed to measure and send the WT status and control device is installed to receive control message for specific operation. The WT is managed by control center through graphic user interface (GUI) based monitoring and control software. Also, smart device based web-program is implemented to make the remote monitoring of the WT possible even though operators are not in control room.

Unexpected equipment defects can cause a huge economic losses in the society at large. Although condition monitoring can provide solutions, the signal processing algorithms must be developed to predict mechanical failures using data acquired from various sensors attached to the equipment. The signal processing algorithms used in a condition monitoring requires high computing efficiency and resolution. To improve condition monitoring on a wireless sensor network(WSN), data visualization can maximize the expressions of the data characteristics. Thus, this paper proposes the extraction of visual feature from temperature data over time using condition monitoring based on a WSN to identify environmental conditions of equipment in a large-scale infrastructure. Our results show that time-frequency analysis can visually track temperature changes over time and extract the characteristics of temperature data changes.

기존의 지그비 기반의 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크 기술을 적용한 각종 모니터링 어플리케이션들은 노드 수가 증가함에 따라 라우팅 오버헤드 및 종단간의 지연 등 네트워크 성능에 부정적인 영향을 주는 네트워크 효율성에 대한 문제점을 많이 보이고 있다. 본 논문에서 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위해 지그비 기술을 이용하여 멀티흡을 지원하는 트리 라우팅 알고리듬을 적용한 유비쿼터스 지하철역 공기질 모니터링을 위한 무선 통합 공기질 측정 센서노드를 설계하고 실제 지하철역 현장에서 성능평가를 수행하였다. 본 연구결과는 지하 환경에서 신뢰성있는 센서 네트워크를 구축하고 차후 광대역 통합 네트워크망과 연동을 통해 다양한 서비스 사업의 기반이 될 것으로 판단된다.

유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크(USN)는 다수의 u-센서 노드간 애드 혹(Ad Hoc), 멀티 홉(Multi Hop) 통신으로 구성된다. 그러나 USN이 시작 단계인 현재 시점에서, 과거 시리얼이나 이더넷으로 구성된 유선 네트워크를 지그비, 블루투스, 와이파이 등을 이용한 포인트 투 포인트 (Point To Point) 무선 네트워크로 전환하는 이슈가 많은 부분을 차지하고 있다. 하지만 적용 범위가 넓고 별도의 광역 인프라를 구성하기 곤란한 경우, USN을 이용한 애드 흑, 멀티홉 메시 네트워크를 구성하는 사례도 점차 늘어나고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 환경에서 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크를 보다 쉽고 편리하게 모니터링 하기 위한 시스템을 제안하였다.

A novel approach for electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis within a functional sensor node has been developed and evaluated. The main aim is to reduce data collision, traffic overload and power consumption in healthcare applications of wireless sensor networks(WSN). The sensor node attached on the patient's body surface around the heart can perform ECG analysis based on a QRS detection algorithm to detect abnormal condition of the patient. Data transfer is activated only after detected abnormality in the ECG. This system can reduce packet loss during transmission by reducing traffic overload. In addition, it saves power supply energy leading to more reliable, cheap and user-friendly operation in the WSN for ubiquitous health monitoring.

In this paper, we developed the crops monitoring system using wireless sensor networks. It can acquire the information about the cultivation environments from a temperature, humidity, illumination and soil sensor then use the detailed information for very useful. The acquisition about the cultivation environment information with wireless sensor networks can be made up an environment that an administrator is able to confirm the information and wherever in a remote place instead of conventional way visiting the cultivate place by investing a lot of money and time. Therefore, it could be saving money, time and effort, and reduced the damages from the natural disasters such as a cold-weather damage and drought. In addition, we could be possible preventing from the damages of blight and harmful insects according to the temperature by an analysis. In agriculture field, this system could be supported for making a foundation of the advanced technology developing endless, and, in IT field, it is look forward to preparing the opportunity which creates a new requirement on the new technology.

유비쿼터스 환경 구축을 위한 무선 센서 네트워크 기술은 센서에 의한 원격 모니터링과 같은 어플리케이션에 많은 분야에 적용되고 있다. 무선 센서 네트워크는 제한된 컴퓨팅능력으로 인해 기존의 보안 프로토콜을 적용하기 어렵고 무선 매체의 특성상 보안의 취약성을 내재하고 있다.

As structures' long term performances and users' safety have been highlighted, a new maintenance technique using IT has drawn attention around the globe. Therefore, throughout the paper, by analyzing bridge's static and dynamic data using wireless measuring sensor, a "real time smart bridge monitoring system" has developed. Smart bridge monitoring system is consists of three main parts a sensor that can measure major members' movement, a wireless system that informs the data from the sensor, and the database system that analysis the data. In order to test the performance of the system, five different were placed on the Olympic Bridge, Seoul. The power system of the sensors was replaced by self-sustain solar energy system. In order to validate data from the real time smart bridge monitoring system, the data was collected for a week from both wireless system and the wired system and the two data were compared to see the relevance.

In this paper we suggest a scheduling algorithm that transmits periodic traffics efficiently in tree-structured wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The related research[l] showed the problems such as increasing the energy consumption and decreasing the data throughput as the depth of tree increases. To solve these problems. we use idle time slots and avoid the redundancy at data transmission. Also we suggest the algorithm that transmits the control packet when it is similar to a previously measured data. And if emergency data is occurred, our proposed algorithm transits that data in EDP(Emergency Data Period) for reducing the wait time. The proposed algorithm shows more data throughput and less energy consumption than that of the related research.
