Condition assessment and monitoring of bridges is critical for safe passenger travel, public transportation, and efficient freight. In monitoring, displacement measurement capability is important to keep track of performance of bridge, in part or as whole. One of the most important parts of a bridge is the expansion joint, which accommodates continuous cyclic thermal expansion of the whole bridge. Though expansion joint is critical for bridge performance, its inspection and monitoring has not been considered significantly because the monitoring requires long-term data using cost intensive equipment. Recently, a wireless smart sensor network (WSSN) has drawn significant attention for transportation infrastructure monitoring because of its merits in low cost, easy installation, and versatile on-board computation capability. In this paper, a rapid wireless displacement monitoring system, wireless hybrid sensor (WHS), has been developed to monitor displacement of expansion joints of bridges. The WHS has been calibrated for both static and dynamic displacement measurement in laboratory environment, and deployed on an in-service highway bridge to demonstrate rapid expansion joint monitoring. The test-bed is a continuous steel girder bridge, the Founders Bridge, in East Hartford, Connecticut. Using the WHS system, the static and dynamic displacement of the expansion joint has been measured. The short-term displacement trend in terms of temperature is calculated. With the WHS system, approximately 6% of the time has been spent for installation, and 94% of time for the measurement showing strong potential of the developed system for rapid displacement monitoring.

K-BEMS 시스템은 태양광과 배터리를 Hybrid PCS 및 EMS로 구성하여, 건물에너지 절감 및 건물 PEAK 부하를 감축하기 위해 도입되었으며, 200여 한전 사옥에 보급되어 시범 운영되고 있다. K-BEMS 시스템을 보다 안정적으로 그리고 효율적으로 운영하기 위한 K-BEMS 연구과제를 2016년 1월부터 2018년 현재까지 전력연구원이 약 3년간 걸쳐 수행하였다. 본 논문에서는 K-BEMS 연구과제에서 수행한 9가지 Scheduling 운전 모드 시험 결과 및 3년간의 Scheduling 운전 결과 발견한 문제점, 그리고 이 문제점 해결을 위해 도입한 제어 알고리즘을 보여 주고 있다. K-BEMS 9가지 Scheduling 자동제어 운전모드 시험을 수행 하였으며, 이 중 3가지 운전모드에서 알고리즘 개선 사항을 발견하였는데, 이들 3가지 경우 모두 배터리 연계 운전과 관련이 있는 것으로 드러났다. 배터리 SOC(State of Charge)는 통상 20% 이상에서 운전되는데, 20% 이하가 되면 배터리 보호 차단기가 동작하여 K-BEMS 자동 운전이 정지되는 현상을 발생한다. 그런데 이 Hybrid 자동제어 모드에서, 배터리 차단기 trip시 태양광 공급마저 중단되는 현상을 발견하였다. 그러므로, Hybrid 공급모드에서 배터리의 차단기가 동작될 경우, 태양광 단독운전으로 자동 전환하여 태양광 공급마저 중단되지 않도록 알고리즘을 재구성하여 자동제어 운전하는 것이 총 에너지 절감 측면에서 반드시 필요한 것으로 분석되었다. 이 때, 계측제어 오차를 감안하여야 하며, 배터리 정지를 너무 보수적으로 의식하여, SOC 운전 Range를 너무 축소해서 운전하면 당초의 피크 부하 저감 이라는 경제성 목표를 달성할 수 없으므로, 효과적인 hybrid 운전(건물 피크 부하 감축 운전)을 위해서는 정지된 SOC 값을 컴퓨터가 기억하고 있다가, 향후 재가동 자동제어 운전시에서는 SOC Range값을 변경 조정 하여 최적 제어 운전하는 자동제어 알고리즘이 PV & Battery hybrid peak load demand control에서 반드시 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

Korea government established a regulation for reducing condensation in the apartment housing and TDR is adapted as a standard. However prevention of condensation depend on improving the performance of building envelop has limitation because of the increase of the cost. Centralized Hybrid ventilation system is suggested to prevent condensation. Method: Field measurement was conducted to verify the ventilation rate of the ventilation system. Based on the measurement, air network and CFD simulation was conducted to analyze ventilation rate for each room. Surface temperature was calculated by regulated TDR according to the regions and surfaces. The performance of condensation prevention was evaluated by the ventilation rate and surface temperature. Result: In the results, it was found that condensation was prevented in more than 90% of households by the centralized hybrid ventilation system which provided 0.19 ~ 0.81ACH for each room.

Most structures of vehicle are composed of many substructures connected to one another by various types of mechanical joints. In vehicle engineering, it is important to study these jointed structures under random frequency vibration for the evaluations of fatigue life and stress concentration exactly. It is rarely obtained the accurate load history of specified positions in a jointed structure because of the errors such as modeling, measurement, and etc. In the beginning of design, exact load data are actually necessary for the fatigue strength and life analysis to minimize the cost and time of designing. In this paper, the hybrid method of practical dynamic load determination is developed by the combination of the principal stresses from F. E. Analysis and test of a jointed structure. Least square pseudo inverse matrix is adopted to obtain an inverse matrix of analyzed stresses matrix. The error minimization method utilizes the inaccurate measured error and the shifting error that the whole data is stiffed over real data. The least square criterion is adopted to avoid these errors. Finally, to verify the proposed system, a heavy-duty bus is analyzed. This measurement and prediction technology can be extended to the different jointed structures.

Orbit determination problems have been interest of many researchers for long time. Due to the high nonlinearity of the equation of motion and the measurement model, it is necessary to linearize the both equations. To avoid linearization, the filter based on Fokker-Planck equation is designed. with the extended Kalman filter update mechanism, in which the associated Fokker-Planck equation was solved efficiently and accurately via discrete quadrature and the measurement update was done through the extended Kalman filter update mechanism. This filter based on the DQMOM and the EKF update is applied to the orbit determination problem with appropriate modification to mitigate the filter smugness. Unlike the extended Kalman filter, the hybrid filter based on the DQMOM and the EKF update does not require the burdensome evaluation of the Jacobian matrix and Gaussian assumption for the system, and can still provide more accurate estimations of the state than those of the extended Kalman filter especially when measurements are sparse. Simulation results indicate that the advantages of the hybrid filter based on the DQMOM and the EKF update make it a promising alternative to the extended Kalman filter for orbit estimation problems.

Peer-to-Peer system has emerged as a popular model aiming at further utilizing Internet information and resources, complementing the available client-server services. However, the mechanism of peers randomly choosing logical neighbors without any knowledge about underlying physical location aware topology can cause serious performance degradation. In this paper, we consider the network distance between peers so that it helps peers select neighbors located at the nearest when they exchange queries for sharing of resources. To reduce the unnecessary signaling traffic and delay of query exchange, we propose a location aware topology based Hybrid P2P system. This system calculates the network distance which combines the direct measurement such as RTT (Round Trip Time) with geographic space of peers using IP address

We have developed the hybrid prototype load cell structures. These developed load cell structures may increase the reliability of the load sensing by deriving the load values through the double sensing method through the vertical maximum deflection and bending stress of the simple beams. For this purpose, the structure design was performed so that the load value, the deflection and stress value could be output to the same value through the optimal structure design. The structurally designed dimensions reaffirmed the accuracy of the design through the structural analysis program and the matching of the load value and the deflection value. Based on the designed structural dimension, the prototype form was constructed through laser cutting and production using hot rolled steel materials. The developed prototype load cell structure can be used as good educational material in various subjects such as material mechanics, steel structure design, measurement engineering, and mechatronics engineering. It is also believed that the measurement system ideas can inform the occurrence of errors in the event of a problem, and if a major accident caused by a sensing error is predicted, it will show good utilization to prevent accidents.
