The photovoltaic module connects the voltage generated by the solar cell to the inverter. In the photovoltaic module, a diode is used to block the reverse voltage from the inverter to the solar cell. The heat generation of this diode is the main cause of the solar connection fire. In this paper, we propose a method to monitor the heat generation of diodes and prevent fire by using IoT devices.

In this study, a GIS model to simulate the behavior of surface forest fires was developed on the basis of forest fire growth prediction algorithm. This model consists of three modules for data-handling, simulation and report writing. The data-handling module was designed to interpret such forest fire environment factors as terrain, fuel and weather and provide sets of data required in analyzing fire behavior. The simulation module simulates the fire and determines spread velocity, fire intensity and burnt area over time associated with terrain slope, wind, effective humidity and such fuel condition factors as fuel depth, fuel loading and moisture content for fire extinction. The module is equipped with the functions to infer the fuel condition factors from the information extracted from digital vegetation map sand the fuel moisture from the weather conditions including effective humidity, maximum temperature, precipitation and hourly irradiation. The report writer has the function to provide results of a series of analyses for fire prediction. A performance test of the model with the 2002 Chungyang forest fire showed the predictive accuracy of 61% in spread rate.

This study presents the design and manufacture of a self-contained breathing apparatus SCBA wireless communication module with a multipoint simultaneous full-duplex communication system to enable communication between team members wearing the SCBA system. It is necessary for fire-fighters to wear the SCBA system during extinguishing and rescue work at the fire site. Evaluation of the team communication module confirmed the feasibility of communication over more than 500 m in the test condition based on the line of sight. By implementing the Ad-hoc function, it was confirmed that the communication distance could be extended to 128 m by automatic routing up to 3 hoc. The vertical distance inside the building for successful communication was up to the 5th floor in the open staircase and up to the 3rd floor in the partitioned staircase. Furthermore, the performance testing of the communication module assuming a fire situation, confirmed that five team members correctly recognized the standard abbreviation of fire and wireless communication without a separate PTT key operation. In addition, the flame resistance was verified by exposing the module to a flame at 950 ± 50 ℃ for 5 s and then immediately extinguishing the flame.

The purpose of this study was to find the optimal arrangement of FPSO equipment in a module while considering the economic value and fire risk. We estimated the economic value using the pipe connections and pump installation cost in an HP (high pressure) gas compression module. The equipment risks were also analyzed using fire scenarios based on historical data. To consider the wind effect during a fire accident, fuzzy modeling was applied to improve the accuracy of the analysis. The objective functions consisted of the economic value and fire risk, and the constraints were the equipment maintenance and weight balance of the module. We generated a Pareto-optimal front group using a multi-objective GA (genetic algorithm) and suggested an equipment arrangement method that included the opinions of the designer.

This paper studies a fire detection system using an optical fiber linear detector which can minimize damage from a fire by the most adaptable even in poor environmental conditions such as a tunnel or utility-pipe conduit vulnerable to fire. Using a strand of optical fiber, temperature can be displayed in intervals of meters and a fire can be detected remotely from a distance of several kilometers. Thanks to its strengths such as high reliability and long life, it is widely applied in harsh environments in the overseas. Therefore demands are expected to grow greatly in Korea as well. However, all optical signal drive and analysis module except for the optical fiber linear detector, tend to rely on import. Firstly this study deduced the location and the method of processing signals measuring temperature by using the optical fiber linear detector in order to develop a technology for a domestic model of fire detection system. Secondly this study designed and manufactured the optical analysis test module, and then we checked its performance.

The structure of the fire control system(FCS) of a light armed helicopter and effective logistics support was taken into account in the proposed common weapon interface module(CWIM) for a distributed FCS. The pros and cons of a distributed FCS and a centralized FCS were analyzed, then a CWIM which can be applied to the weapon interface module of a distributed FCS was designed and fabricated. Integration tests between the proposed CWIM and a weapon simulator were conducted to ascertain whether or not the proposed CWIM could be applicable to a distributed FCS. We expect that the CWIM design approach method secured through this study will be helpful in mitigating cable work of the FCS which will be applied to a Light Armed Helicopter and controlling various weapons.

This study focuses on the classification of fire equipments for certification based on the risk evaluation. In general, known statistics on fire equipment-related accidents needs to be used for risk evaluation. When statistics is not available, however, expected frequency and severity of accident for individual equipment can be taken into account in evaluating the related risks. Based on the level of inherent risks, each equipment is then classified into three categories for certification. For equipments that risk evaluation is not possible, characteristics of those products such as reliability are considered for classification. Once classified, each equipment is assigned an appropriate certification module.

The automatic firewall block and fire alarm system was embodied by using gas circuit and wireless communication equipment, using a smoke sensor (ST-QA1A) and RF Module. OR-CAD was also used for testing circuit system and experiment circuit after assembling circuit. As a result in experiment, the gas sensor detected well an imaginary smoke and worked reliably for driving action of firewall block motor and wireless warning alarm. Through the smoke sensitive perception from the fire, the warning alarm and the preventing fire propagation from the specific closed region were verified reliably. The gas sensor and RF module for firewall and fire alarm system were actually available.
