This study suggests the prediction model to estimate the specific energy of a pick cutter using a gene expression programming (GEP) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). Estimating the performance of mechanical excavators is of crucial importance in early design stage of tunnelling projects, and the specific energy (SE) based approach serves as a standard performance prediction procedure that is applicable to all excavation machines. The purpose of this research, is to investigate the relationship between UCS and BTS, penetration depth, cut spacing, and SE. A total of 46 full-scale linear cutting test results using pick cutters and different values of depth of cut and cut spacing on various rock types was collected from the previous study for the analysis. The Mean Squared Error (MSE) associated with the conventional Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) method is more than two times larger than the MSE generated by GEP-PSO algorithm. The $R^2$ value associated with the GEP-PSO algorithm, is about 0.13 higher than the $R^2$ associated with MLR.

The purpose of this paper was to comparatively investigate the efficient building incentives in Korea and foreign countries and to seek strategies to enhance low energy building integrated design market infrastructure in Korea. The structure of incentive policies were composed of four main component: 1) types of financial aids and beneficiaries, 2) energy performance criteria and verification methods, 3) supports for low energy building integrated design, and 4) funding sources for incentive programs. Every overseas incentive program has adopted a design team incentive along with building owners incentive and the range of target buildings have been extended from new construction to remodeling projects. The main system of the program is the performance standard through which projects were investigated and the level of incentive are decided. Initially, the integrated performance has been investigated through simulation methods, but the construction performance evaluation and energy monitoring methods are emerging. In addition, the direct support and educational support for integrated design has been provided to enhance the foundation of relative markets. Financial funding is also a key component of the program and more aggressive funding strategies have been adopted.

탄소함유 에너지원의 고갈과 가격상승, 이들 에너지 사용에 수반되는 지구 온난화 문제들로 세계는 새로운 에너지원을 도입하고자 노력하고 있다. 그 중 풍력에너지는 자원이 풍부하고 끊임없이 재생되며 광범위한 지역에 분포되어 있고, 운전 중에 온실가스의 배출이 없다는 점에서 가장 경제성이 있고 유용한 에너지원으로 인식되고 있다. 풍력발전기는 선진 국가에서부터 꾸준히 성장해 왔으며, 그 성능을 개선시키기 위하여 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 풍력발전기를 설치하여 발전단지를 조성함에 있어서 발전량을 예측하기 위해서 발전기가 세워질 모든 지점에 허브높이의 실측타워를 세워 풍황데이터를 측정하여야 하지만 이런 방법은 재정적인 부담이 매우 크다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 서산기상대에서 측정된 기상데이터를 이용하여 태안해안국립공원내 만리포해수욕장 지역의 풍황 및 발전량을 예측하였다. 이 때 풍황 및 발전량 예측은 풍력단지 설계를 목적으로 사용되고 있는 WindPRO Basic과 WAsP-Interface 모듈을 이용하였다. 이렇게 예측된 풍황을 이용하여 발전단지를 조성하고, PARK 모듈을 사용하여 발전단지의 에너지를 계산하였으며, WindBANK 모듈을 이용하여 단지의 경제성을 평가하였다.

A plant simulation code, MCSIM (Micro-Computer SIMulator), has been developed to simulate plant transient accidents for pressurized water reactors. Reactor coolant system is modeled using decoupled energy and momentum equations, drift flux two-phase flow model and integral momentum equation. A two-fluid pressurizer model is used to simulate the pressurizer dynamics. Pot Boiler model is used for steam generator, steady-state decoupled energy and momentum equations for secondary side system, and point kinetics equations for nuclear power calculation. For test of the present version of MCSIM, complete loss of flow and RCCA withdrawal accidents are calculated with MCSIM. The results are compared with those in FSAR of KNU 5 & 6.

Energy Storage System(ESS) have been developed to store and efficiently utilize energy, transitioning from the traditional method of producing and consuming energy immediately via fossil fuels and generators. With the advancement of this technology, Battery Management System(BMS) that manage Li-ion batteries at the cell level play a crucial role in enhancing battery performance, lifespan, and safety. Among the BMS functions, cell balancing, which aligns the imbalanced voltages of cells, is essential for optimizing capacity in devices like ESS. It ensures all cells maintain the same voltage and capacity, improving performance and output stability. Therefore, this paper examines the operational characteristics of the cell balancing method within BMS when charging an imbalanced Li-ion battery.

In this paper, we study the characteristics of parameters which are related to performance of MCTF which is a key technique for wavelet-based scalable video coding, and propose an improved MCTF method. The proposed MCTF method adopts the motion estimation of which motion vector field is distributed more uniformly using variable block sizes. By using the proposed method, the decomposition performance of temporal filter is improved, and the energy in high-frequency frames is reduced. It can help the entropy coder to generate lower bitrate. From simulation results, we verify the decomposed energy on high-frequency frame using the proposed method is reduced by 25.86% at the most in terms of variance of the high-frequency frame.

Feedback burden of a full-digital energy beamforming, which is known as the optimal precoding scheme for radio frequency (RF) energy transfer, is huge because it uses a vector quantization for a channel feedback. To reduce the feedback burden, we consider a beam steering based wireless energy transfer, which uses a scalar quantization. Researches related to the beam steering based wireless energy transfer have been studied in special channel model with an assumption of full channel state information at the transmitter. In this paper, we analyze the beam steering scheme compared with the full-digital energy beamforming for practical channel models with channel estimation errors. According to characteristics of the millimeter wave channel, the number of antennas of the base station and the user, the distance between them, and channel estimation errors, we simulate the performance of the beam steering scheme and analyze reasons why.

무선 센서 네트워크를 구성하는 각 센서 노드들은 한정된 전력의 배터리로 동작하므로, 센서 네트워크에서의 에너지 효율성은 중요한 이슈이다. 따라서, 센서 노드의 에너지 소모를 줄여서 전체 네트워크 수명을 최대화하기 위해 MAC 계층에서의 다양한 프로토콜이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 센서 네트워크의 에너지 효율성을 향상시키기 위한 에너지 효율적인 CA-MAC(Context Adaptive MAC) 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안된 CA-MAC 프로토콜은 데이터의 전송 여부를 결정하는 각 버퍼 임계값을 싱크와 노드의 거리에 따라 차등적으로 설정함으로써 노드의 에너지 소비를 감소시켜 전체 네트워크의 에너지 효율성을 크게 향상 시킨다. 또한, 전송 지연 시간을 감소시키기 위하여 센싱된 데이터의 긴급 여부에 따른 전송을 수행한다. 본 논문의 성능 평가는 OMNeT++을 이용한 모의실험을 통해 진행하였으며, 그 결과 기존에 제안되었던 S-MAC 및 T-MAC 프로토콜과 비교하여 제안된 기법이 데이터 전송 시간과 에너지 효율성을 향상시키고 네트워크 수명을 연장하였음을 확인하였다.

Recently, research and development of a hybrid system for passenger cars as well as for heavy-duty vehicles has become more intensive. An electric powertrain system using an electric motor can replace conventional gasoline and diesel engines. The electric motor has a higher efficiency, better acceleration performance, and is more comfortable than conventional powertrain systems; however, new methods for assessing power performance and energy convergence efficiency have to be investigated because the characteristics of an electric motor are entirely different from those of an internal combustion engine (ICE). In this study, an experiment was carried out on a motor (PMSM: Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) test bench. One simple driving mode and four other driving modes identified from real-world driving data of a city bus were selected to perform the experiment on the motor test bench. Then, methods for assessing the acceleration performance, energy convergence efficiency, regenerative effect, etc., were investigated. It was found that the energy efficiency of PMSM was about 90% and that 40% of demand energy was regenerated.

The city gas pipeline network is characterized by being widely distributed and hierarchically connected in a complex manner over a wide area. In order to monitor the status of the widely distributed network pressures with high precision, Multi-block PCA(MBPCA) is recommended. However, while MBPCA has excellent performance in identifying faulty sensors as the number of sensors increases, the fault detection performance deteriorates, and also there is a problem that the model needs to be updated entirely even if minor changes occur. In this study, we developed fault detectability index and fault identificability index to determine the effectiveness of MBPCA application block by block. Based on these indices, we distinguished MBPCA and PCA blocks and developed a fault detection and diagnostic system for the city gas pipeline network of Haean Energy Co., Ltd., and were able to solve the problems that arise when there are many sensors.
