This paper proposes a new fuzzy speed controller based on the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy method to achieve a robust speed control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The proposed controller requires the information of the load torque, so the second-order load torque observer is used to estimate it. The LMI condition is derived for the existence of the proposed fuzzy speed controller, and the gains of the controller are provided. It is proven that the augmented control system including the fuzzy speed controller and the load torque observer is exponentially stable. To evaluate the performance of the proposed fuzzy speed controller, the simulation and experimental results are presented under motor parameter variations. Finally, it is clearly verified that the proposed control method can accurately control the speed of a permanent magnet synchronous motor.

It has been considered that factors affecting accuracy of the estimated weight of moving vehicle by BWIM system are vehicle and bridge characteristics, and measurement conditions which is related to the strain curve. In this study, theoretical review and field test were performed to evaluate effect of these factors in BWIM system. From these evaluations, we proposed a way to improve accuracy of the estimated vehicle information in BWIM system. As the results, it was known that girder type and continuity of spans in bridge are not governing factor, but its plane shape gives large influence on accuracy of the estimated vehicle information. In addition, running speed of vehicle has also large effect on the estimated accuracy of axle distance if the distance between second and third axles is short. However, weight sum of the two axles can be estimated reasonably by assuming them as one axle.

Constant temperature hot wire air flow meter for automobiles requires temperature compensation system because hot wire output signal is sensitive to ambient temperature variations as well as fluid velocity. The objectives of the present study are to design an air flow meter circuit which is capable of compensating the hot wire output signal for ambient temperature variations and to investigate the mechanism of such temperature compensation. This circuit is composed of platinum hot wire, platinum resistor, two variable resistors, a constant resistor and a DC-amplifier. In particular, by simply replacing a constant resistor in one of the bridge arms of the conventional circuit with platinum resistor and a variable resistor for the purpose of temperature compensation, the deviation of output signal with respect to ambient temperature variations between 27deg. C 70deg. C could be reduced to less than 2.5% for mass flow rate and to less than 5% for velocity respectively. The mechanism of temperature compensation against ambient temperature variations was explained by means of measuring the heat transfer coefficient with hot wire temperature variations and analyzing and analyzing conventional empirical equations qualitatively.

Proper operation of clarifier partly depends on outlet conditions. Effluent has to be uniformly withdrawn to prevent scouring of settled sludge and carry over of settling sludge from the clarifier. In this paper, 3-D numerical model was employed to analyze the flow and settling performance of the rectangular clarifier. There were two simulation conditions of which in the same clarifier, the first one was assumed to have a 11.5 meter weir length and the second has 8.5 meters. Shape, location and placement of the weir structure were different, but both of those outlets meet weir loading design criteria. Simulation results indicate that clarifier with longer weir generally gave strong and unstable currents at the mid-stream where the weir starts while in the clarifier with short and relatively simple weir, uniform and stable flow was observed in most parts of the settling zone, and especially at the weir region. These flow conditions affected settling performance. Effulent SS concentration from clarifier equipped with the long and complicated placement of weir was 24.5 mg/L, but 7.0 mg/L from the clarfieir having short weir length. From this study, it can be concluded that as reported from other studies, weir loading does not guarantee settling performance and 3-D numerical model can be a useful tool for determining and validating outlet structure.

The cremation rate of Korea in 2016 was 82.7% which is four times greater than 20.5% in 1994. As increasing the cremation rate gradually, it cause a shortage of cremation facilities resulting in building more cremation facilities to meet the increasing inquiries on cremation or a large amount of fuels for the longer operation of the crematory. In this study, the crematory system optimizing its thermal efficiency characteristics and also responding to increasing inquiries on cremation was proposed in order for solving such problems, In particular, the heat flow characteristics including a heat transfer coefficient by performing a simulation using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was investigated. The CFD model was validated with on-site experiments for a cremation facility. As a result of the simulation, the fuel consumption decreased nearly 25% and residence time increased in the main combustor. Also, the improved crematory was constructed with an expanded combustor, heat exchanger, second combustion air system, refractory and insulation material. From on-site experiments, the energy consumption was saved to approximately 54.4%, while the burning time reduced nearly 20 minutes.

As the market for portable electronic devices expands, the demand for Lithium Ion Battery (LIB) is also increasing. LIB has higher efficiency than other secondary batteries, but there is a risk of explosion / fire due to thermal runaway reaction. Especially, Electric Vehicles (EV) equipped with a large capacity LIB cell also has a danger due to a large amount of toxic gas generated by a fire. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the risk of toxic gas generated by EV fire to minimize accident damage. In this study, the flow of toxic gas generated by EV fire was numerically analyzed using Computational Fluid Dynamic. Scenarios were established based on literature data and EV data to confirm the effect distance according to time and exposure standard. The purpose of this study is to analyze the risk of toxic gas caused by EV fire and to help minimize the loss of life and property caused by accidents.

Since the Multi-UAV system for various missions is more complex than a single UAV, an efficient formation control method is required. In wide-area search mission, there is a need for a distributed control for flexible formation that has a low burden of communication and computation and enables autonomous formation between UAVs. This paper proposes a flexible formation operation method that considers the swarm formation, the bank alignment formation, and the formation movement to expand the scan area and improve search performance. The algorithm has a vibration characteristic of the second-order system for a relative distance and can design an algorithm through parameter tuning. In addition, we converted control commands to suit conventional UAV systems and demonstrated the performance of algorithms for a formation and movement of a formation through simulation.

토양수분량은 그 양은 작지만 다양한 수문현상에 관여하는 주요한 수문인자 중 하나이다. 특히, 강우, 유출, 홍수 및 가뭄 등과 직접적인 연관이 있어 국내에서도 그 중요성이 점차 강조되고 있다. 일찍이 해외에서는 토양수분량 위성자료나 관측기기의 검증 및 교정을 위해 다수의 지상 관측소를 운영해왔으며, ISMN(International Soil Moisture Network)과 같은 기관을 통해 자료의 취합 및 품질관리, 배포 등도 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 최근 국내에서도 최신 관측기기의 도입이나 수자원위성의 개발 등 토양수분량에 관한 연구가 점차 활발하게 이루어지고 있으며, 위성자료와 관측기기의 검증 및 교정을 위한 지상관측소도 점차 확대되고 있는 추세이다. 하지만, 국내 지상관측소는 현재 다양한 기관과 단체에 의해 운영되고 있으며, 품질관리 기준이 통일되어 있지 않아 자료의 접근 및 활용 측면에서 개선이 필요한 실정이다. 이에 한국수자원조사기술원은 국내 환경에 맞는 품질관리 기준을 제시하고, 자료의 접근성 및 활용성 개선의 토대를 마련하고자 품질관리 시스템을 개발하고 있다. 본 연구는 정량화된 품질관리 기준을 바탕으로 spike를 판별하는 알고리즘에 대한 성능평가를 다루고 있으며, 청미천 토양수분량 관측소 2020년 자료에 임의의 튀는 값(spike)을 추가하고, 해당 이상치의 검출여부를 확인하는 방식으로 진행되었다. 각각의 지점자료에서 강우사상 중 하강부, 무강우기간 중 하강부를 1개씩 선정하고, 해당 구간에 positive spike를 추가한 case와 negative spike를 추가한 case를 생성해 강우조건 및 spike 유형에 따른 검출성능 차이를 평가했다. 평가 결과, 강우기간 검출률 84.3%, 무강우기간 검출률 96.3%로 강우조건에 따른 성능차이가 명확하게 나타났으며, positive spike는 91.7%, negative spike는 88.9%로 spike 유형에 따른 검출성능차이는 미미했다. 강우조건과 spike 유형을 동시에 고려했을 때는 무강우기간의 positive spike가 98.2%로 가장 높은 검출률을 보인 반면에 강우기간의 negative spike는 83.3%로 가장 낮은 검출률을 보였다. 알고리즘이 검사시간대를 중심으로 24시간 동안의 토양수분량 변화를 감지하기 때문에 강우기간에 검출성능이 저하되는 것으로 판단되며, 이를 개선하기 위해선 강우사상에 따른 유동적인 window size 조절 알고리즘의 추가가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
