In this paper, an integrated control system for removable welfare equipment disinfection is implemented. The integrated control system consisted of a hydrogen peroxide vapor supply control circuit, a sterilization chamber control circuit using low vacuum, and a washing control circuit using microbubble. A Smart-phone based remote control and monitoring system is implemented to monitor the operating status and communication status for the integrated control system. An experiment is set up to evaluate the performance of the integrated control system. The experiment result confirms that signal and operation status can transmit and receive within the control circuit. The integrated control system shows good performance in terms of sensor interface, communication state and control. In future research, the proposed control system should deploy to an actual system for trial test to prove its performance.

The network weather map and bandwidth time-series graph are popularly used to understand the current and past traffic condition of NSP, ISP, and enterprise networks. These systems collect traffic performance data from a SNMP agent running on the network devices such as routers and switches, store the gathered information into a DB, and display the network performance status in the form of a time-series graph or a network weather map using Web user interface. Most of current enterprise networks are constructed in the form of a hierarchical tree-like structure with multi-Gbps Ethernet links, which is quietly different from the national or world-wide backbone network structure. This paper focuses on the network weather map for current enterprise network. We start with the considering points in developing a network weather map system suitable for enterprise network. Based on these considerings, this paper proposes the best way of using SNMP in constructing a network weather map system. To prove our idea, we designed and developed a network weather map system for our campus network, which is also described in detail.

In this paper, a solar power emotional LED lightening street lamps with multi control sun tracker is presented. The proposed system has a multiple control sun tracking function and high quality emotional LED lamps. The system is designed to absorb maximum sun lights by temperature sensor and humidity sensor of control circuits. A battery charge-discharge controller is developed for high efficient usage of battery charger for utilization of new and renewal energy. An interface circuit for remote monitoring and controlling is included in the developed system. The proposed multi tracking solar power emotional LED street lamps is better than conventional systems in aspect of tracking operation and energy efficiency, and expected to be a leading model for next generation solar power street lamp system, because it is a new technology combining sun tracking solar power system and emotional lightening system.

Current research and development efforts and other projects for energy storage systems (ESS) have recently been gaining attention. This is due to the many applications where ESS, particularly batteries, can be used. Among these are peak shaving, frequency regulation, and stabilization of renewable energy output. KEPCO has completed the construction and demonstration of a 4-MW battery energy storage system (BESS) located in Jeju City to verify its practicability in the power grid. KEPCO Research Institute has also been developing technology for the commercialization of BESS, and has been conducting a trial run of a 52-MW ESS (28MW + 24MW of Seo-Anseong and Shin-Yongin substations) constructed in 2014 for frequency regulation. This paper discusses the development of operation methods, as well as an operation user interface, for the safe operation and monitoring of BESS used for frequency regulation in a power system. Included are operation and simulation methods for various normal and transient frequency situations that can be experienced by a power system. Also discussed are the results obtained after applying these methods to the 4-MW BESS and the 52-MW ESS, both used for frequency regulation. The technology in this paper will be applied to 500MW ESS for frequency regulation of KEPCO by 2017. It is expected that this technology helps a safe and reliable operation and control of ESS for frequency regulation through its continuous upgrade.

과거 2003년 북미 대 정전 이후 전력기기의 사고 발생 후 얼마나 빨리 사고를 제거하고 피해가 적도록 신속하게 복구하는 개념에서 사고이전에 사고를 미연에 방지하는 예방개념으로 관심이 높아지고 있다. 전력기기를 사고로부터 보호하는 보호기기도 중요하지만 사고이전의 상태를 감시하여 미연에 사고를 방지할 수 있도록 하는 예방진단시스템의 중요성도 높아지고 있다. 이렇듯 관심이 높아짐에 따라 각종 진단알고리즘의 개발이 신속히 이루어지고 있다. 보호기기처럼 어떤 설정된 정정 값 이상의 값이 입력되면 보호동작을 수행하는 단순 동작과는 달리 예방진단 시스템은 입력되는 신호의 패턴을 인식하여 열화/노화 등의 진행상황 및 정비조치에 대한 정보를 만들므로 인공지능적인 요소가 많이 적용되고 있다. 따라서 각종 Fuzzy, Neural Network, Expert 등 각종 판단 알고리즘과 패턴을 인식하는 확률통계, 프랙탈 기하학 등이 적용되고 있다. 모두가 틀리다는 것은 아니지만 보다 정확한 예방진단을 위해 각종 알고리즘이 추가 및 수정이 자주이루어지고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 새로운 알고리즘을 적용하기 위해서 기 개발되어 운영 중이거나 설치된 예방진단시스템을 멈추고 전반적으로 수정을 수행하는 것은 감시진단시스템의 본래 모습을 무시하는 행동이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이런 문제를 해결하기 위하여 온라인 상태에서 장비를 감시하는 예방진단 시스템의 알고리즘 변형 시 시스템의 운영이 문제되지 않도록하는 다이나믹 인터페이스를 개발하였다.

This paper presents the results of a study on the control system for an underwater manipulator controlled by a master arm through LED communication. The underwater manipulator was designed to be actuated by electric motors with six degrees of freedom for operation in various underwater environments. The master arm, which can remotely control the manipulator, was designed with a structure similar to the manipulator for convenient control. An underwater LED communication system was developed to communicate between the master arm and underwater manipulator. An integrated control program was developed that included data conversion, monitoring, datalogging, and filtering. Some experiments were performed to verify the performance of the developed control system of the master arm, manipulator, and LED communication system, and the results are presented.

Ubiquitous computing is a new paradigm of telecommunication technology and is embedded with advanced computing technology to process a large amount of data in a normal environment. Generally, ail equipment is embedded with sensors and operating devices to interaction with communication functions. That is why ubiquitous computing must be able to access any devices anywhere at anytime in order to perform appropriate functions. Unfortunately, however, it is difficult to make an optimized design for applications which can effectively interaction with various functions in distributed environment like ubiquitous computing. Therefore, this paper is aimed at deploying interface with server nodules and virtual prototyping by utilizing LabVIEW and embedded application software with additional network function. In addition, given information about sensors collected from context-awareness and location-awareness, it will suggest the ideal ubiquitous application based on context-awareness and apply the advanced application to device control and monitoring through context awareness of lab.

An image recognition for surrounding conditions is very important in image transmission. In recently rears, as the information infrastructure is more general, the user-centered demands in which they want to identify by object's states image using wire or wireless environment have increased. However, existing mobile solution could be hard to expect high quality mage, because limitation of software processing according as network based on mobile terminal which has low band width supports software codec. To solve this weak point, this paper describes on hardware codec design based on MPEG-4 which is international video compression standard. Implemented system contains the embedded CPU for optimized design and it works high quality service as transmission speed and resolution in mobile circumstance.

In this work, a steady-state performance modeling and off-design performance analysis of the 2-spool separate jet turbofan engine named BR715-56 which is a power plant for the narrow body commercial aircraft is carried out for engine performance behaviors investigation and condition monitoring using a commercial code MATLAB/SIMULINK. Firstly, the engine component maps of fan, high pressure compressor, high pressure turbine and low pressure turbine are generated from similar component maps using the scaling method, and then the off-design performance simulation model is constructed by the mass flow matching and the work matching between components. The model is developed using SIMULINK, which has advantages of easy steady-stare and dynamic modelling and user friendly interface function. It is found that the off-design performance analysis results using the proposed model are well agreed with the performance analysis results by GASTURB at various operating conditions.
