최근 대규모 항만 건설 및 기존 부두 리모델링과 같은 해안 공간 구조물 확충사업이 활발하게 진행되고 있으며 항만 구조물 거동 장기계측을 위한 센서에 대한 관심도 높아지고 있다. 기존의 항만에 적용한 전기식 센서들은 수개월 정도 단기간의 구조물 거동 측정은 가능하지만 수년 이상의 장기계측 시 염수분에 의한 부식 및 내구성에 취약하기 때문에 원활한 측정에 한계점이 있고 센서 설치를 위한 항만 외곽지역 구조물과 육상전원공급설비 배전반 사이의 거리로 인하여 긴 연장의 횡단로 가설전선 보호대 등을 설치해야 하는 어려움이 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 항만 구조물 거동 장기계측을 위해 기존 전기식 센서들의 부식문제점을 파악하여 해수용 4종 센서 IoT 모듈 패키징을 설계하고 외부 전원공급 방해 영향을 최소화한 태양광 발전을 적용한 항만 구조물 거동 계측 시스템을 제안하였다.

Using solar power in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) requires adaptation to a highly varying energy supply and to a battery constraint. From an application's perspective, however, it is often preferred to operate at a constant quality level as opposed to changing application behavior frequently. Reconciling the varying supply with the fixed demand requires good tools for allocating energy such that average of energy supply is computed and demand is fixed accordingly. In this paper, we propose a probabilistic observation-based model for harvested solar energy. Based on this model, we develop a time-slot-based energy allocation scheme to use the periodically harvested solar energy optimally, while minimizing the variance in energy allocation. We also implement the testbed and demonstrate the efficiency of the approach by using it.

Most applications for solar-powered wireless sensor networks are usually deployed in remote areas without a continuous connection to the external networks and a regular maintenance by an administrator. In this case, sensory data has to be stored in the network as much as possible until it is uploaded by the data mule. For this purpose, a balanced data distribution over the network should be performed, and this can be achieved efficiently by taking the amount of available energy and storage into account, in the system layer of each node. In this paper, we introduce a simple but very efficient data distribution algorithm, by which each solar-powered node utilizes the harvested energy and the storage space maximally. This scheme running on each node determines the amount of energy which can be used for a data distribution as well as the amount of data which should be transferred to each neighbor, by using the local information of energy and storage status.

In this thesis, the development and the verification of the test-aid are described, providing various attitude errors through the electric stimulus to the Sun sensor. This test-aid for 2-axis analogue Sun sensor is used for polarity test in the assembly stage for GK2 satellite. The test-aid used for GK2 satellite is for COMS satellite and, due to the failure risk, manufactured by domestic company. The characteristics of the COMS test-aid used for GK2 satellite and the manufactured test-aid are showed with similar through the several tests. In this thesis, there are conformed the capability for replacing of test-aid because the characteristics of the manufactured test-aid is acquired same as that of the COMS test-aid using the controller tuning functions.

Using solar power in wireless sensor networks requires a different approach to energy optimization from networks with battery-based nodes. Solar energy is an inexhaustible supply which can potentially allow a system to run forever, but there are several issues to be considered such as the uncertainty of energy supply and the constraint of rechargeable battery capacity. In this paper, we present SolarSS: a reliable storage system for solar-powered sensor networks, which provides a set of functions, in separate layers, such as sensory data collection, replication to prevent failure-induced data loss, and storage balancing to prevent depletion-induced data loss. SolarSS adapts the level of layers activated dynamically depending on solar energy availability, and provides an efficient resource allocation and data distribution scheme to minimize data loss.

This paper describes the development of 7he utility vehicle controller using combination system of battery and photovoltaic power for increasing operation time. In order to keep interchangeability, low cost and high performance, a separately excited DC Motor is controlled without velocity and current measurements by $\mu$-processor. For the parallel operation between the solar cell and battery, dc-dc converter is used, which is applied to the maximum power Point tracking(MPPT) and current control algorithm. By the simulation and experimental results of trial product, the vapidity of the proposed system is verified.

Solar energy is rapidly gaining notoriety as an important means of expanding renewable energy resources. As such, it is vital that those in engineering fields understand the technologies associated with this area. My project will include the design and construction of a microcontroller-based solar panel tracking system. Solar tracking allows more energy to be produced because the solar array is able to remain aligned to the sun. This system builds upon topics learned in this course. Performance and usefulness of a solar tracking device that was designed and produced in this study was confirmed through experiments.

본 논문에서는 입력 단 센서를 제거한 태양광 AC 모듈 인터리브드 플라이백 인버터의 최대 전력점 추종 및 전류 평형 제어 기법을 제안한다. 기존 제어 방식들의 수행을 위해서는 입력 전압 $V_{pv}$, 입력 전류 $I_{pv}$ 센서와 각 상 스위치 단의 전류 센서들이 필요하나 4개의 센서와 주변 회로는 AC 모듈의 사이즈, 부피 및 가격을 증가시킨다. 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 제안하는 방식은 각 상의 전류 센서만을 사용하여 최대 전력점 추종 및 전류 평형 제어를 동시에 수행한다. 제안한 시스템의 타당성을 이론적 분석과 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증한다.

This paper discusses the attitude determination of the CNUSAIL-1 cube-satellite. The primary mission of the CNUSAIL-1 is sail deployment and operation in low Earth orbit, and the secondary mission is to look into influence of the sail deployment on satellite attitude and orbit. The attitude determination strategy is proposed depending on three mission phases, and its performance and applicability are verified through numerical simulations. This study considers the following sensors: Sun sensors and a three-axis magnetometer as attitude reference sensors, and a three-axis MEMS gyroscope as an inertial attitude sensor. Because sensors used for cube satellites have relatively low performances and worse noise characteristics, an Extended Kalman filter (EKF) is applied to attitude determination. Additionally, it has the merits to deal with the Gaussian noises and to predict the attitude even with no measurements from reference attitude sensors, especially in the eclipse of the cube satellite. The performance of the EKF is compared to a deterministic attitude determination technique, QUEST(QUaternion ESTimation).

반전형 폴리머 태양전지는 그 구조에 의하여 훌륭한 안정성을 가질 뿐만 아니라 roll-to-roll 공정을 통한 대량생산이 가능하여 각광받고 있는 구조이다. 이런 반전형 구조에서, 금속 산화물 나노파티클에 의해 만들어지는 금속 산화물 층은 전자수송층으로서 사용된다. 이 연구에서는 표면개질 물질인 PEIE (Polyethyleneimine-ethoxylate)와 화학적으로 기능화된 산화아연/그래핀 핵/껍질 양자점을 이용하여 전기수송층의 역할을 하는 기능화된 산화아연/그래핀 단분자층을 가지는 태양전지를 제작하였다. 이는 기능화된 산화아연/그래핀 단분자층이 표면개질, 광센서, 전기수송층의 역할을 동시에 수행하는 효과로 인해 제작된 태양전지는 향상된 전자 수집능력을 보였다. 단분자층이 잘 형성되어 있는지 확인하기 위하여 집속 이온 빔 장비를 이용하여 태양전지의 내부 구조를 확인하였으며, density functional theory (DFT)을 이용한 모델링을 통하여 기능화된 산화아연/그래핀 양자점의 전자상태밀도를 분석하였다. 기능화된 산화아연 단분자층에 의한 효과적인 계면 제어 및 전하수송에 의해 약 10.3%의 높은 효율을 가지는 반전형 폴리머 태양전지를 제작할 수 있었다.
