This paper proposes central monitoring system(PVCMS) based on a TCP/IP network for effective integrating management about photovoltaic systems. We don't gain confidence the result of production simulation, because the output of PV system have many various environmental change factor. So if we can obtain real operated data about each sites and system types to use PVCMS, we can define the environment change factor to compare with simulation data. And this paper try to access about total management and data analysis methods of renewable energy through results analysis to synthesize of the operation.

Class-F and B resin-rich type insulating tapes are generally used for the ground wall insulations of respective air-cooled and water-cooled stator windings in larger turbine generators. In this paper, their electrical properties coupled with aging times in higher temperature than designed one in normal condition were experimentally investigated and the results of two comparative tests were presented on the existing class-F resin-rich type tape and a developed one after curing. The resin-rich tapes currently used arc composed of six and a half 3-layer sheets that arc structured with mica paper, the top and bottom supports of it respectively, and the epoxy resin to bind them tightly. The results for breakdown voltage and strength on the cured specimens were presented, which were composed of the unaged, the aged accelerated for one, two, and three thousand hours at 180 $^{\circ}C$. The surface and volume resistivities on them were measured and the results are also presented to make a comparative test for the initial electrical characteristics.

The objective of this study was to propose a development length equation for bottom and top GFRP bars. Including the bottom and top GRPP bars, a total of 104 modified pullout tests were completed. The test variables were embedment length (15, 30, 45db), net cover thickness (0.5~2.0db), different GFRP bar types, and bar diameters (10, 13, 16mm). The average bond stresses were determined based on the modified pullout test results. Two variable linear regression analyses were performed on the results of the average bond stresses. Utilizing the 5% fractile concept, a conservative development length design equation was derived. The design equation of the development length for bottom and top GFRP bars was proposed and the design equation derived in this study was compared to the ACI 440.1R-06 committee equation.

Environmental control system is adopted to control the thermal load from the avionic equipment in the reconnaissance pod which is mounted under a fighter aircraft, undergoing large and rapid environmental changes with the variations of flight altitude and velocity. In this study, an environmental control system was designed and built by adopting vapor compression cycle using R-124. The cooling performance characteristics of the system were measured varying operating parameters: thermal load in the pod, air mass flow rate through evaporator, condenser inlet air temperature, and air mass flow rate through condenser. The effects of the experimental parameters on the system performance were analyzed based on the experimental results. The problems on the designed system were also analyzed and the solutions were suggested to improve system efficiency and to obtain stable operation.

This study presents a physical habitat modeling of adult Zacco platypus in a reach of the Dalcheon Stream located downstream of the Goesaan Dam. CASiMiR model is used to estimate habitat suitability index based on the fuzzy logic. Results are compared with those from River2D model, which uses habitat preference curve for habitat suitability index. Hydraulic data simulated by River2D are used as input data for CASiMiR model after verification against field measurements. The result shows that the habitat suitability of the adult Zacco platypus is maximum around the riffle area located upstream of the bend. CASiMiR and River2D estimate the maximum weighted usable areas at the discharge rates of 7.23 $m^3/s$ and 9.0 $m^3/s$, respectively. Overall comparison of the two models employed in this study indicates that CASiMiR model overestimates the weighted usable area by 0.3~25.3% compared with River2D model in condition of drought flow (Q355), low flow (Q275), normal flow (Q185), and average-wet flow (Q95).

Recently, the number of passengers using urban railway has been increased by reasons of the reductions of car use due to high fuel prices and the enlightenment about the environment. Above all, the noise and the vibration coming from the friction between the wheel and the rail of trains in operation which is not only a factor that hinders riding comforts but causes civil complaints. Furthermore, the noise has become social issues from tightening the relevant regulations by the government since January 2010. Although ballasted tracks were constructed on urban railways at the time of opening, they have been changed into slab tracks because slab tracks require much less maintenance. However, in view of sound absorptivity of track, slab tracks have 10 times less capability than ballasted tracks(ballasted track : 0.5~0.6/slab tracks : 0.06) results more noise than that of ballasted tracks as much as 3dB(A) since slab tracks emit more reflection noise. Therefore, in order to minimize reflection noise on slab tracks, noise abatement system has been developed as a national R&D program to apply on-site test. It is assumed that the construction technology developed in this study can be used not only as basic data for the on-site test for the noise reduction in urban railway but as an efficient construction method.

The pile construction method is changing from the pile driving operation to the injected precast pile method. It is to prevent environmental damage and to minimize complaints caused by noise. Therefore, economic alternatives optimized for the injected precast pile method are required. In this study, the enhanced spun reinforced concrete piles manufactured by high strength materials were proposed. Experimental tests were conducted to evaluate their structural safety and nonlinear finite element analysis was performed to improve the reliability of experimental results. The experimental results and the analytical results were in good agreement with each other and the proposed enhanced spun reinforced concrete pile has better performance than that required by the design. However, the performance of the joint using the existing method used in the PHC pile was considered to be insufficient.

Class-F resin-rich type insulating tapes are generally used for the groundwall insulations of the large turbine generators with air-cooled and hydrogen-cooled stator windings. In this paper, mechanical strength properties degraded over aging time in higher temperature than designed one in normal condition were experimentally investigated and the results of comparative tests were presented on the existing class-F resin-rich type tape and a developed one after curing. The resin-rich insulating tapes with composite material of Mica/Epoxy/support currently were used in this test. The tests for tensile and flexural strength properties were conducted with the specimens which were composed of unaged and the aged specimens accelerated for one, two, and three thousand hours at 180 $^{\circ}C$. The tensional strength was only measured for the unaged specimens and the results are also presented to make a comparative test for their initial mechanical characteristics.

In this study, the pullout resistance characteristic of a wedge-shaped soil nail, made by attaching small steel sticks to the tip of a nail in a wedge shape, was investigated. It was developed to improve the overall pullout resistance capacity of the existing soil nail system, composed of nail and grout, by making the wedge provide additional pullout resistance. In order to evaluate the pullout resistance of the wedge shape-soil nail, field pullout tests were conducted, and the results were compared with those for the existing soil nail without the wedge. The field test results showed that the pullout resistance capacity of the wedge-shaped soil nail was 50% larger than that of the existing soil nail without the wedge.

It is not surprising to hear news about irresistible natural disasters all over the world due to climate change. Korean Government has focused on developing a variety of green technologies to reduce green house gasses, in particular, carbon dioxide. This study suggested 18 technology divisions for achieving green highway technology development in six different sub-sectors considering life-cycle of roadway and surveyed 29 highway and/or transportation professionals of three institutes using AHP(Analytical Hierarchy Process) analysis to construct "Green Highway"and realize carbon emission reductions and energy use efficiency in a road sector in Korea. Expert Choice Software was used to rank 18 technology divisions weighted by two-level choices. Transport Operating Infrastructure Improvement, Roadway Policy Implementation, Green Transportation(such as Pedestrian and Bicycle) were highly ranked by respondents according to results of the AHP modeling. Among the 18 divisions, technology policy for supporting R&D investments from development to commercialization was ranked as the most significant one to be focused. Green Transportation Facility Design/Construction/Operation and Eco-Friendly Roadway Plan were followed as expected since professionals have thought that the planning/design step of the life-cycle is a starting point to reduce carbon dioxide from roads more and more. Additionally, comparing the results with the Government investment trend 2006-2011 for the roads, it can be interpreted that the Government should invest to the R&D area more widely than before to promote element and core technology development for Green Highway Construction. Above all, small and mid-sized businesses have to be invested as well as encouraged to undertake green highwayrelated objects to accomplish the divisions which ranked high.
