Since data-driven building technologies have been widely applied to building energy systems, the accuracy of building sensors has more impacts on the building performance and system performance analysis. Various building sensors, however, can have typical errors including a random error (noise) and a systematic error (bias). The systematic error is indicated by the difference between the mean of measurements and their true value. It may occur due to the sensor's physical condition, measured phenomena, working environments inside the systems. Unfortunately, a conventional calibration method has limitations in calibrating the systematic errors because of the difference between working environments and calibration conditions. In such situations, a novel sensor calibration method is needed to handle various sensor errors, especially for systematic errors, in building energy systems having various thermodynamic environments. This study proposes a building sensor calibration method named Virtual In-situ Calibration (VIC) and shows how it is applied into a real building system and how it solves the sensor errors.

An utility voltage information, including the frequency, phase angle and amplitude is very important in many industrial systems. The grid-connected photovoltaic system in the limelight as alternative energy needs utility voltage information such as frequency, phase angle and magnitude to connect the grid-line. In this paper, it proposes the instantaneous phase-tracking in PLL that uses the frequency from the utility voltage as a sync signal and locks the phase with compensation for phase difference from DPT algorithm. It also proposes not only DFT algorithm execution by every sample not by one period, but also phase-tracking method in a wide range of frequency not a fixed one. This paper shows the feasibility and the usefulness of the proposed methods through the computer simulation and the experiment.

Generally, a proper evaluation method of the aging phenomenon of PV modules is required as the electrical performance and lifespan of PV modules can degrade significantly due to several environmental factors, while they are generally known as devices that are used semi-permanently for more than 20 years. On the other hand, there is a lack of objectivity in the existing evaluation method of the aging phenomenon, which compares the adjusted PV output based on STC with the initial PV module specifications due to the data distortion while adjusting the measured data. Therefore, this study implemented a test device for an aging diagnosis to measure and collect actual data from a PV module section and modeled the data for aging using MATLAB S/W to minimize the variability of the PV output, communication error, and delay. Furthermore, this study confirmed the usefulness of the presented test device for aging diagnosis of the PV modules by diagnosing the total period and yearly-basis degradation rate of aging PV modules as 25.73% and 1.55%, respectively, according to the on-site output characteristics of the PV modules by season.

The objective of this study was to improve the accuracy of calculation and estimation of solar radiation and duration of sunshine, which are the most important variables of photovoltaic power generation in deciding the location of photovoltaic facilities efficiently. With increasing interest in new and renewable energies, research on solar energy is also being conducted actively, but there have not been many studies on the location of photovoltaic facilities. Thus, this study calculated solar duration and solar radiation based on geographical factors, which have the most significant effect on solar energy in GIS environment, and corrected the results of analysis using diffuse radiation. Moreover, we performed ordinary kriging, a spatial statistical analysis method, for estimating values for parts deviating from the spatial resolution of input data, and used variogram, which can determine the spatial interrelation and continuity of data, in order to estimate accurate values. In the course, we compared the values of variogram factors and estimates from applicable variogram models, and selected the model with the lowest error rate. This method is considered helpful to accurate decision making on the location of photovoltaic facilities.

Since PV PCS uses output current sensor for ac output current control, the sensor's sensing value includes unnecessary offset inevitably. If PV inverter is controlled by the included offset value, it's output current will generate DC offset. The DC offset of output current for trans-less PV inverter is fatal to grid, which results in saturating grid side transformer. Usually DSP controller of PV inverter reads several times sensing value during initial operation and, finally, it's average value is used for offset calibration. However, if temperature changes, the offset changes, too. And also, the switch device is not ideal, both each switching element of the voltage drop difference and on & off time delay difference generate DC offset. Thus, to compensate for deadtime and the switch voltage drop, feedback control by output current DC offset should be provided to compensate additional distortion of the output current. The validity of the proposed method is confirmed through PSIM simulation.

Mid-Infrared (MIR) 영상은 화산 활동 및 산불로 인한 재난관측, 지표물질 관측, 해수 온도 측정과 같은 분야들에서 사용되고 있다. 그러나 MIR영역은 지표의 복사율과 대기의 영향으로 인한 변화가 매우 심하고, 낮 영상의 경우 태양 복사량에 의한 영향도 고려해야 하는 어려움이 있다. 따라서 단일밴드인 MIR영상을 이용하여 표면온도를 얻기 위해서는 영상이 취득된 시간과 장소에서 관측된 태양 복사량 및 여러 가지 대기 변수가 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 기존의 MIR 영상 연구가 다중밴드를 기반으로 한 것과 달리 단일 밴드의 영상을 이용하여 표면온도를 측정하는데 있다. 이를 위하여 MODIS MIR 영상을 대상으로 MODTRAN을 사용하여 MIR 영역의 대기보정 기법을 적용 한 뒤 복사전달 모델을 이용하여 지표의 복사량을 측정하였다. 획득된 지표온도 영상의 정밀도를 측정하기 위해서 기존의 온도 알고리즘인 split-window algorithm에 의해 얻어진 해수온도 영상과의 비교를 통하여 오차 원인에 대해 분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 낮 영상의 경우 -4.19${\pm}$1.19$^{\circ}C$ 정도의 온도 차가 났으며, 밤 영상의 경우 0.5$^{\pm}C$0.39$^{\circ}C$ 정도로 비교적 좋은 결과를 보였다. 이는 낮 영상의 경우 지표의 복사율에 대한 온도의 민감도가 매우 높기 때문에 높은 오차가 발생하지만, 밤 영상의 경우 태양빛에 의한 영향이 없으므로 좋은 결과를 나타내기 때문이다. 따라서 단일밴드 MIR영상을 이용한 지표온도 추정 시 대기에 의한 영향보다 지표 복사율에 의한 영향이 높다고 추정할 수 있다.

In this paper, the calculation using simulation and two measurement methods for G/T of the telemetry are analyzed. Antenna gain and noise temperature are calculated by using ICARA and Antenna Noise Temperature Calculator. System G/T were calculated by using Antenna gain/noise temperature, LNA gain/noise temperature, cable loss. The first G/T measurement method is Y-factor measurement method, which is to calculate G/T by comparing LNA noise temperature and a signal level difference when an antenna and a 50ohm termination are respectively connected to an LNA input terminal Second method is Solar calibration measurement method that is to calculate G/T by comparing noise level difference when looking at the sun and lowest level point. Finally, the accuracy was reviewed by comparing the G/T calculation results with the two measurement methods, and the optimal measurement method according to antenna performance and operating environment was presented.

Geostationary Ocean Color Imager 2 (GOCI-II) on Geo-KOMPSAT-2 (GK2B)satellite was developed as a mission successor of GOCI on COMS which had been operated for around 10 years since launch in 2010 to observe and monitor ocean color around Korean peninsula. GOCI-II on GK2B was successfully launched in February of 2020 to continue for detection, monitoring, quantification, and prediction of short/long term changes of coastal ocean environment for marine science research and application purpose. GOCI-II had already finished IAC and IOT including early in-orbit calibration and had been handed over to NOSC (National Ocean Satellite Center) in KHOA (Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency). Radiometric calibration was periodically conducted using on-board solar calibration system in GOCI-II. The final calibrated gain and offset were applied and validated during IOT. And three video parameter sets for one day and 12 video parameter sets for a year was selected and transferred to NOSC for normal operation. Star measurement-based INR (Image Navigation and Registration) navigation filtering and landmark measurement-based image geometric correction were applied to meet the all INR requirements. The GOCI2 INR software was validated through INR IOT. In this paper, status and results of IOT, radiometric calibration and INR of GOCI-II are analysed and described.

사용의 편리성, 신속성, 간편성 등 다양한 장점을 가진 디지털카메라가 필름카메라를 제치고 전세계적으로 급속하게 확산되고 있다. 디지털카메라는 편리하고 신속하게 이미지를 얻을 수 있다는 큰 장점이 있지만 ‘왜곡된 색상’으로 인하여 필름카메라보다 못하다는 평가를 받기도 한다. 이처럼 세계적으로 디지털 카메라, 캠코더 사용자 모두가 겪는 애로점이 바로‘컬러 밸런스(화이트밸런스)’이다. 본 고에서는‘컬러 & 화이트밸런스’를 요약하여‘밸런스로’표현하고자 한다. 문제는 사용자들이 디지털카메라 사용방법에 대하여 대다수가 잘 모르고 있다는 것이다. 많은 프로들과 유저들이 디지털 카메라로 촬영한 사진은 당연히‘후 보정’을 하는 것이 정상인 것처럼 알고 있으며, 심지어 디지털 카메라는‘후 보정’을 위한 카메라인 것으로 잘못 알고 있는 경우가 그것이다. 그러나 좋은 사진은‘후 보정’을 하지 않고서‘원색’을 그대로 표현 할 수 있는 것이‘작품’으로서의 진정한 가치가 있고, 사진의‘예술’인 것이다.고급기종의 디지털 카메라를 보유한 대부분의 사용자들은 카메라의 복잡한 기능 메뉴에 번거로움을 겪고 있다. 보편적으로 오토, 태양, 구름, 노을, 형광등1.2, 백열등, K, 켈빈도, 프리셋 등의 기능이 있으나 대부분 커스텀에서 기본 세트메뉴인‘오토’등의 모드를 선택하여 촬영을 하고 있고, 핵심 기능인‘프리셋’은 사용방법조차 모르고 있는 유저들이 많다. 또한 커스텀 모드의 기본메뉴를 선택하여 촬영을 했을 때 색상이 왜곡되는 것을 디지털 카메라는 당연히 그런 것으로 알고 있으며, 따라서 후보정은 당연한 것으로 대부분이 인식하고 있다. 그중에서 원색의 중요성을 인식하는 일부 사용자들만‘프리셋’기능에서 그레이 카드 등으로 밸런스를 세팅하여 촬영을 하고 있다.그러나 가장 정확한 것으로 알고 수 십 년간 사용해오던 그레이 카드 등을 이용하여 프리셋 모드에서 밸런스를 세팅하여 촬영을 할 경우에도, 카메라에 기본적으로 내장된‘커스텀 모드’보다는 색상이 다소 좋은 것을 알 수 있으나, 정확한 원색의 이미지를 얻기는 매우 어려워, 디지털 카메라의 한계라고까지 표현을 하고 있다.

In order to accurately perform multispectral imaging using a multiplexed illumination, intensity of illumination in a scene must be uniform. For image acquisition that requires accurate color information, even if not multispectral imaging, the illumination information must be accurate, and a flat light source or illumination calibration is performed for accurate illumination characteristics. In this paper, we propose a method of color correction to uniformly illuminate an image with non-uniform illumination intensity. The proposed method uses multispectral imaging instead of illumination calibration for color correction. First of all, we perform multispectral imaging with two images obtained from non-uniformity illumination to acquire spectral reflectance. The obtained reflection spectrum is relit as the illumination characteristic of the image obtained from general planar light such as fluorescent light or sunlight. By comparing the image obtained by relighting with the uniformly illuminated image, the non-uniformity of the illumination is confirmed, and the color correction is performed as the image obtained from the uniform image. It is expected that the experimental results will confirm whether the non-uniformity of the illumination is uniformly corrected and reduce the restriction of illumination in obtaining the color information of the image.
