Purpose: This study aimed at developing an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model for predicting the amount of cooling energy consumption of the variable refrigerant flow (VRF) cooling system by the different set-points of the control variables, such as supply air temperature of air handling unit (AHU), condenser fluid temperature, condenser fluid pressure, and refrigerant evaporation temperature. Applying the predicted results for the different set-points, the control algorithm, which embedded the ANN model, will determine the most energy efficient control strategy. Method: The ANN model was developed and tested its prediction accuracy by using matrix laboratory (MATLAB) and its neural network toolbox. The field data sets were collected for the model training and performance evaluation. For completing the prediction model, three major steps were conducted - i) initial model development including input variable selection, ii) model optimization, and iii) performance evaluation. Result: Eight meaningful input variables were selected in the initial model development such as outdoor temperature, outdoor humidity, indoor temperature, cooling load of the previous cycle, supply air temperature of AHU, condenser fluid temperature, condenser fluid pressure, and refrigerant evaporation temperature. The initial model was optimized to have 2 hidden layers with 15 hidden neurons each, 0.3 learning rate, and 0.3 momentum. The optimized model proved its prediction accuracy with stable prediction results.

Ground source heat pump (GSHP) system is highly efficient and environment-friendly and supplies heating, cooling and hot water to buildings. For an optimal design of the GSHP system, the ground thermal properties should be determined to estimate the heat exchange rate between ground and borehole heat exchangers (BHE) and the system performance during long-term operating periods. However, the process increases the initial cost and construction period, which causes the system to be hindered in distribution. On the other hand, much research has been applied to the artificial neural network (ANN) to solve problems based on data efficiently and stably. This research proposes the predictive performance model utilizing ANN considering local characteristics and weather data for the predictive performance model. The ANN model predicts the entering water temperature (EWT) from the GHEs to the heat pump for the modular GHEs, which were developed to reduce the cost and spatial disadvantages of the vertical-type GHEs. As a result, the temperature error between the data and predicted results was 3.52%. The proposed approach was validated to predict the system performance and EWT of the GSHP system.

오염물의 혼합거동을 해석하기 위해 물리기반 모델을 이용하는 경우 모델을 구축하고 운용하는데 많은 시간과 재정이 소요되며 현장검증을 통한 검증이 반드시 필요하다. 하지만 데이터 기반 모델의 경우 축적된 데이터만으로도 예측을 수행할 수 있으며 물리기반모델에 비해 결정해야할 입력인자가 적어 모델운용이 용이하다는 장점이 있다. 다양한 데이터 모델 중 인공신경망(ANN) 모델은 데이터가 가지는 불확실성 및 비정상성, 복잡한 상호관련성에 효과적으로 대응할 수 있는 모델로 수자원 및 환경 분야에서 자주 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 인공신경망 모델을 이용하여 지천유입이 있는 대하천의 수질인자 (pH, 전기전도도, DO, chl-a)를 예측하였다. 다른 데이터기반 모델과 같이 인공신경망 모델 또한 수집된 데이터 질에 크게 영향을 받으며, 내부 입력인자의 선택이 모델의 예측 결과에 큰 영향을 미친다. 이러한 인공신경망 모델의 특성을 바탕으로 예측모형의 정확도를 향상하기 위해서는 크게 데이터 처리부분과 모델구축 부분에서의 접근이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 데이터 처리 과정에서 연구대상지점의 각각의 수질인자가 가지는 분포 특성을 유지하기 위해 층화표츨추출법을 이용하여 데이터를 구성하였다. 모델의 구축 과정에서는 초기가중치 값의 영향을 줄이기 위해 앙상블기법을 사용하였으며, 좀 더 견고하고 정확한 결과를 예측하기 위해 탄력적 역전파알고리즘을 추가하였다. 추가적으로 합류 후 본류의 미 계측지역 수질 예측 정확도 향상을 위해 본류의 수질인자뿐만 아니라 지류의 수질인자를 입력자료로 사용하여 모의를 수행하였다. 또한 동일 구간에서 수행한 현장추적자실험 자료를 이용하여 수질인자의 분포특성을 비교, 검증하였다. 개발된 모델을 이용하여 낙동강과 금호강 합류부 하류의 수질인자를 예측한 결과 지류의 수질인자를 입력자료로 추가한 경우 예측의 정확도가 증가하였으며, 현장실험 자료를 통해 밝혀진 오염물의 거동현상을 인공신경망 모델로도 동일하게 재현하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 제안한 인공신경모델을 이용한다면 물리기반 수치모델을 대체하여 지천으로 유입된 오염물의 거동을 정확하고 효율적으로 파악할 수 있을 것이다.

Quantitative forecasting of groundwater levels for the assessment of groundwater variation and vulnerability is very important. To achieve this purpose, various time series analysis and machine learning techniques have been used. In this study, we developed a prediction model based on LSTM (Long short term memory), one of the artificial neural network (ANN) algorithms, for predicting the daily groundwater level of 11 groundwater wells in Hankyung-myeon, Jeju Island. In general, the groundwater level in Jeju Island is highly autocorrelated with tides and reflected the effects of precipitation. In order to construct an input and output variables based on the characteristics of addressing data, the precipitation data of the corresponding period was added to the groundwater level data. The LSTM neural network was trained using the initial 365-day data showing the four seasons and the remaining data were used for verification to evaluate the fitness of the predictive model. The model was developed using Keras, a Python-based deep learning framework, and the NVIDIA CUDA architecture was implemented to enhance the learning speed. As a result of learning and verifying the groundwater level variation using the LSTM neural network, the coefficient of determination (R²) was 0.98 on average, indicating that the predictive model developed was very accurate.

In recent, sensors embedded in robots, equipment, and circuits have become common, and research for diagnosing device failures by learning measured sensor data is being actively conducted. This failure diagnosis study is divided into a classification model for predicting failure situations or types and a regression model for numerically predicting failure conditions. In the case of a classification model, it simply checks the presence or absence of a failure or defect (Class), whereas a regression model has a higher learning difficulty because it has to predict one value among countless numbers. So, the reason that regression modeling is more difficult is that there are many irregular situations in which it is difficult to determine one output from a similar input when predicting by matching input and output. Therefore, in this paper, we focus on input and output data with periodicity, analyze the input/output relationship, and secure regularity between input and output data by performing sliding window-based input data patterning. In order to apply the proposed method, in this study, current and temperature data with periodicity were collected from MMC(Modular Multilevel Converter) circuit system and learning was carried out using ANN. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that when a window of 2% or more of one cycle was applied, performance of 97% or more of fit could be secured.

This paper deals with the optimal on-line real time voltage regulation methods in power distribution systems interconnected with the Distributed Generation(DG) systems. In order to deliver suitable voltage to as many customers as possible, the optimal sending voltage should be decided by the effective voltage regulation method by using artificial neural networks to consider the rapid load variation and random operation characteristics of DG systems. The results from a case study show that the proposed method can be a practical tool for the voltage regulation in distribution systems including many DG systems.

This study aimed to develop AI- (Artificial Intelligence) based thermal control logics and test their performance for identifying the optimal thermal control method in buildings. For this objective, a conventional Two-Position On/Off logic and two AI-based variable logics, which applied ANN (Artificial Neural Network) and ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System), have developed. Performance of each logic was tested in a typical two-story residential building in U.S.A. using the computer simulation incorporating MATLAB and IBPT (International Building Physics Toolbox). In the analysis of the test results, AI-based control logic presented the advanced thermal comfort with stability compared to the conventional logic while they did not show significant energy saving effects. In conclusion, the predictive and adaptive AI-based control logics have a potential to maintain interior air temperature more comfortably, and the findings in this study could be a solid foundation for identifying the optimal thermal control method in buildings.

The modeling of load characteristics is a difficult problem because of uncertainty of load. This research uses artificial neural networks which can approximate nonlinear problem to represent load characteristics. After the selection of typical load, active and reactive power for the variation of voltage and frequency is obtained from experiments. We constructed and learned ANN based on these data for component load identification. The learned ANN identified load characteristics for other voltage and/or frequency variation. In addition, the results of component load identification are presented to demonstrate the potentiality of the proposed method.method.
