Most of the energy used to operate a cellular network is consumed by a base station (BS), and reducing the transmission power of a BS is required for energy-efficient cellular networks. In this paper, a distributed transmit power control (TPC) algorithm is proposed based on the flocking model to improve the energy efficiency of a cellular network. Just as each bird in a flock attempts to match its velocity with the average velocity of adjacent birds, in the proposed algorithm each mobile station (MS) in a cell matches its rate with the average rate of the co-channel MSs in adjacent cells by controlling the transmit power of its serving BS. Simulation results show that the proposed TPC algorithm follows the same convergence properties as the flocking model and also effectively reduces the power consumption at the BSs while maintaining a low outage probability as the inter-cell interference increases. Consequently, it significantly improves the energy efficiency of a cellular network.

This paper proposes a fault-tolerant data aggregation which provides energy efficient and reliable data collection in wireless sensor networks. The traditional aggregation scheme does not provide the countermeasure to packet loss or the countermeasure scheme requires a large amount of energy. The proposed scheme applies caching and re-transmission based on the track topology to the adaptive timeout scheduling. The proposed scheme uses a single-path routing based on the traditional tree topology at normal, which reduces the dissipated energy in sensor nodes without any countermeasure against packet loss. The proposed scheme, however, retransmits the lost packet using track topology under event occurrences in order to fulfill more accurate data aggregation. Extensive simulation work under various workloads has revealed that the proposed scheme decrease by 8% in terms of the dissipated energy and enhances data accuracy 41% when the potential of event occurrence exists as compared with TAG data aggregation. And the proposed scheme decrease by 53% in terms of the dissipated energy and shows a similar performance in data accuracy when the potential of event occurrence exists as compared with PERLA data aggregation.

범용토양유실공식(RUSLE)은 연간 토양유실량을 산정하기 위해 제시된 경험식이며, 강우침식인자(R factor)는 유실량을 결정하는 요소 중 강우강도의 특성을 고려하는 주요인자이다. 토지피복, 식생 등에 대한 타 인자의 경우 한정된 실험에 의해 도출된 경험치를 대상지역에 맞게 적용하는데 반해 강우침식인자는 강우강도 기반 강우에너지 산정법을 적용하여 계산과정이 비교적 복잡하고 다양하다. 국내에서도 강우침식인자 산정법이 개발된 바 있으나 현제까지 간편법을 비롯한 다양한 공식들이 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 강우침식인자를 산정하는 과정에서 다른 강우 운동에너지식을 적용하거나 연평균 강수량 등을 대체지수로 활용한 간편법 적용시 결과의 결과의 다양성에 대해 분석하고자 하였다. 합리적인 30분 강우강도 산정을 위해 79개 기상청 종관기상관측 지점에 대한 분단위 강우자료(1997~2014)를 수집하고 기존의 국내외 강우운동에너지 식과 대체지수를 적용하여 산정된 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 연구결과 간편법을 사용한 결과가 대부분 지점에 대해 강우에너지식을 사용한 강우침식인자보다 과대산정(지점평균 약 74%)하였으며 다른 강우에너지식 적용에 따른 평균 변동계수가 약 0.12로 나타나 지점간 차이를 보였으나 적용방법에 따른 침식인자의 분포가 다소 다르게 나타남을 확인하였다. 관측자료가 부족한 토양유실량 예측에 있어 강우 침식인자 산정을 위한 최적 방법론 도출이 어려운 만큼 다중모델 결과를 조합하는 방법론 개발이 필요하다고 판단된다.

In a wireless sensor network, a large number of sensor nodes are deployed in an environment where direct access is difficult. It is difficult to supply power, such as replacing the battery or recharging it. It is very important to use the energy with the sensor node. Therefore, an important consideration to increase the lifetime of the network is to minimize the energy consumption of each sensor node. If the energy of the wireless sensor node is exhausted and discharged, it cannot function as a sensor node. Therefore, it is a method proposed in various protocols to minimize the energy consumption of nodes and maintain the network for a long time. We consider the center point and residual energy of the cluster, and the plot point and K-means (WSN suggests optimal clustering). We want to evaluate the performance of the KOCED protocol. We compare protocols to which the K-means algorithm, one of the latest machine learning methods, is applied, and present performance evaluation factors.

When designing an underwater Piezoelectric Energy Harvester (PEH), Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) is generated throughout the cantilever through a change in curvature, and the generation of VIV increases the vibration displacement of the curved cantilever PEH, which is an important factor in increasing actual power. The material of the curved PEH selected a Polyvinyline Di-Floride (PVDF) piezoelectric film, and the flow velocity is set at 0.1 m/s to 0.50 m/s for 50 mm, 130 mm, and 210 mm with various curvatures. The strain energy change of PEH by VIV was observed. The smaller the radius of curvature, the larger the VIV, and as the flow rate increased, more VIV appeared. Rapid shape transformation due to the small curvature was effective in generating VIV, and strain energy, normalized voltage, average power, etc. To increase the amount of power of the PEH, it is considered that the average power will increase as the number of curved PEHs increases as well as the steep curvature is improved.

우리나라 ESCO사업은 지난 1992년 도입되어 1997년까지는 연 평균 50억 원 이내의 투자사업을 실행하였으나, 1998년부터는 정부의 적극적인 ESCO활성화 정책과 국내 유가상승 등에 힘입어 시장규모가 급격히 증가하였다. 더구나 ESCO사업은 연간 1억 원 투자시 약 4천만원의 절감효과를 가지고 있을 만큼 투자대비 효율성이 확실한 사업으로 2011년에는 ESCO정책자금 예산이 3,900억원에 이를 만큼 에너지절약사업의 선두로 각광받고 있다. 2011년 하반기 ESCO정책자금 지원지침의 변경사항에 관해 알아보기로 한다.

본 고에서는 자동차 안전대책중에서 One-box car의 전면충돌 안전대책에 대하여 개략적으로 소개하고자 한다. 1. 충돌기본식 1/2M$V^{2}$=F.S에서 에너지 흡수율이 frame의 변형 평균 하중과 차체 변형량에 좌우된다. 2. frame 형상은 굽힘형보다 압축형이 동일한 변형구간에서 월등한 충돌에너지를 흡수한다. 3. 압축형 frame의 에너지 흡수효과는 main-frame의 버팀강도가 e.a-frame의 변형 하중보다 강해야만 그 효과를 충분히 얻을 수 있다.

무선 센서 네트워크에서의 에너지 효율은, 네트워크 및 노드의 운용시간에 직접 영향을 미치므로, 지연시간과 같은 일반 성능척도 이상으로 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 에너지 소모의 관점에서 정적 애드혹 센서 네트워크에서의 멀티캐스트 프로토콜들을 재평가하고, 멀티캐스트에서의 에너지 소모의 분석적 모델을 제안한다. 멀티캐스트 프로토콜은 멀티캐스트 패킷이 다수의 수신자들에게 전달되는 네트워크 구조에 따라, 크게 트리기반(tree­based) 멀티캐스트와 메쉬기반(mesh­based) 멀티캐스트로 분류된다. 메쉬기반 프로토콜은 링크 장애에 강하여 높은 신뢰성을 갖는 반면에, 트리기반 멀티캐스트는 높은 에너지 효율을 나타낸다. 그 이유는 메쉬기반 프로토콜은 메쉬 내에서 플러딩(flooding)에 의존하고 메쉬 내의 노드는 모든 멀티캐스트 패킷을 수신해야 하기 때문이다. 본 논문에서 제안한 에너지 소모의 분석적 모델에 의하면, 메쉬기반 멀티캐스트는 메쉬 내의 브로드캐스기반 플러딩으로 인하여 트리기반 멀티캐스트에 비하여 약 (f + 1)/2 배의 에너지를 더 소모한다. 여기서 f 는 평균 노드 연결도를 나타낸다.

Climate, weather, insolation (solar radiation), and solar energy in major cities of Tajikistan were investigated prior to construction of infrastructure for the Dushanbe Solar Station. In Dushanbe city there was a 70% probability of sunny days from May 16 to October 23, a period of 5.2 months. August had the most sunny days of in the year, with 99% probability of a sunny, the cloudiest month was February with a 41% chance of being sunny. In major cities of the Sughd and Gorno-Badakhshan states, the average number of cloudy days per month was ~3.3, with Dzhauz having 53 day and Fedchnko Glacier 79 days. For the 18 major cities of Tajikistan, the average annual total solar radiation was 2,429 W/m², and the average monthly solar radiation was 202 W/m². The city with the lowest annual total and monthly average solar radiation was Shartuz in Sughd state, with values ~2.7% less than the national average. The cities with the highest annual total and monthly average solar radiation were Khorog and Jirgatol in Gorno-Badakhshan state, with values ~10% above the national average. The daily average incident shortwave solar energy in the cities Dushanbe, Karakul, and Jirgatol was ~7.8 kWh per 2.4 m² during summer (May-August), and 2.7 kWh during winter (November-February), or ~35% that of summer.

From measured results of the neutron fields at some principal places within the containment building in a CE type nuclear power plant in operation, the radiation exposure of a worker to the neutron at there was evaluated and the equivalent dose reflecting new recommendation (ICRP 60) was compared with that doing the old one (ICRP 26). The measured neutron field was also compared with calibration neutron field. From the analysis, the following conclusion was obtained: the average neutron radiation weighting factor according to new recommendation is 2.41 to 2.71 times higher than the old one. The average neutorn radiation weighting factor at the measured place was similar to that at calibration neutron field. The average neutron energy at measured place was between 42 and 158 keV and higher than that of calibration field of 500 keV. So, the measured equivalent dose in nuclear power plant could be overestimated compared to the real equivalent dose.
