To maximize power generation and reduce the construction cost of a commercial utility-grade wind turbine, the size of the wind turbine should be large. The initial design of the 12 MW University of Ulsan(UOU) Floating Offshore Wind Turbine(FOWT) was carried out based on the 5 MW National Renewable Energy Laboratory(NREL) offshore wind turbine model. The existing 5 MW NREL offshore wind turbines have been expanded to 12 MW UOU FOWT using the geometric law of similarity and then redesigned for each factor. The resonance of the tower is the most important dynamic responses of a wind turbine, and it should be designed by avoiding resonance due to cyclic load during turbine operations. The natural frequency of the tower needs to avoid being within the frequency range corresponding to the rotational speed of the blades, 1P, and the blade passing frequency, 3P. To avoid resonance, vibration can be reduced by modifying the stiffness or mass. The direct expansion of the 5 MW wind turbine support structure caused a resonance problem with the tower of the 12 MW FOWT and the tower length and diameter was adjusted to avoid a match of the first natural frequency and 3P excitation of the tower.

In order to solve the increasing deterioration of the energy shortage problem, ground-source heat pump (GSHP) systems have been widely installed. The control method is a significant component for maintaining the long-term performance and for reducing operation cost of GSHP systems. This paper presents the measurement and analysis results of the cooling performance of a GSHP system using capacity control with outdoor air temperature. For this, we installed monitoring equipments including sensors for measuring temperature, flow rate and power consumption, and then monitored operation parameters from July 9, 2021 to October 2, 2021. From measurement results, we analyze the effect of capacity control with outdoor air temperature on the cooling performance of the system. The average performace factor (PF) of the heat pump was 6.95, while the whole system was 5.54 over the measurement period. Because there was no performance data of the existing GSHP system, it was not possible to directly compare the existing control method and the outdoor air temperature method. However, it is expected that the performance of the entire system will be improved by adjusting the temperature of cold water produced by the heat pump, that is, the temperature of cold water on the load side according to the outside air temperature.

PBFT(Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerant)는 PoW(Proof of Work) 대비 높은 처리 속도를 보장하며 컴퓨팅 파워의 우위로 인한 기록이 번복되지 않는 절대적 최종성을 보장하는 합의 알고리즘이다. 하지만 메시지 복잡도로 인해 참여하는 노드의 수가 증가할수록 네트워크 부하가 지수적으로 증가한다는 한계가 있다. PBFT는 블록체인 네트워크의 성능을 결정짓는 중요한 요소이지만 평가지표와 평가 기술에 관한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 PBFT를 평가할 수 있는 정량적 지표와 개선된 방안을 쉽게 평가할 수 있도록 합의 알고리즘 변경이 편리한 PBFT 평가 프레임워크를 제안한다.

This research presents dynamical reaction investigation of pore-dependent and nano-thickness beams having functional gradation (FG) constituents exposed to a movable particle. The nano-thickness beam formulation has been appointed with the benefits of refined high orders beam paradigm and nonlocal strain gradient theory (NSGT) comprising two scale moduli entitled nonlocality and strains gradient modulus. The graded pore-dependent constituents have been designed through pore factor based power-law relations comprising pore volumes pursuant to even or uneven pore scattering. Therewith, variable scale modulus has been thought-out until process a more accurate designing of scale effects on graded nano-thickness beams. The motion equations have been appointed to be solved via Ritz method with the benefits of Chebyshev polynomials in cosine form. Also, Laplace transform techniques help Ritz-Chebyshev method to obtain the dynamical response in time domain. All factors such as particle speed, pores and variable scale modulus affect the dynamical response.

We propose a 10-GHz 2 × 2 phased-array radio frequency (RF) receiver with an 8-bit linear phase and 15-dB gain control range using 65-nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology. An 8 × 8 phased-array receiver module is implemented using 16 2 × 2 RF phased-array integrated circuits. The receiver chip has four single-to-differential low-noise amplifier and gain-controlled phase-shifter (GCPS) channels, four channel combiners, and a 50-Ω driver. Using a novel complementary bias technique in a phase-shifting core circuit and an equivalent resistance-controlled resistor-inductor-capacitor load, the GCPS based on vector-sum structure increases the phase resolution with weighting-factor controllability, enabling the vector-sum phase-shifting circuit to require a low current and small area due to its small 1.2-V supply. The 2 × 2 phased-array RF receiver chip has a power gain of 21 dB per channel and a 5.7-dB maximum single-channel noise-figure gain. The chip shows 8-bit phase states with a 2.39° root mean-square (RMS) phase error and a 0.4-dB RMS gain error with a 15-dB gain control range for a 2.5° RMS phase error over the 10 to10.5-GHz band.

ABB-CE사의 System-80 설계 특성 중 원자로 출력 급감발 제어계통(RPCS : Reactor Power Cutback System)은 2개의 주급수 펌프 중 1대가 정지하거나 전출력 부하 상실사고인 경우에도 원자로 정지없이 운전하게 함으로써 원전의 경제성 향상에 도움을 주고 있다. 이러한 RPCS의 적용 범위를 확대하여 단일제어봉 낙하를 포함한 제어봉 인입편차(inward deviation)가 발생하는 경우에도 RPCS를 작동시키면 원자로를 정지시키지 않고 운전을 계속할 수 있는지를 분석하였다. 즉 제어봉 인입편차가 발생시 제어봉을 순간적으로 낙하시켜 1차계통의 출력을 낮추면서 원자로를 정지시키지 않고도 과도현상을 수습할 수 있는지 분석하였다. 이렇게 확대된 RPCS는 미국 EPRI의 개량형 경수로 요건사항을 만족하는 것이며 제어봉 인입편차의 과도상태를 수용할 수 있도록 하는 ABB-CE사의 System-80+ 설계 항목에도 포함되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 System-8O+에 대하여 RPCS의 작동에 의한 제어봉의 삽입과 그에 따른 핵증기 공급계통의 변화를 모사할 수 있는 노심해석 모델을 개발하였다. 연구 결과 단일 제어봉 낙하를 포함한 제어봉 인입편차가 발생되어도 원자로 출력 급감발 제어를 확대 적용하는 경우 원자로 정지를 방지할 수 있게 되어 원전의 이용율을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 검토되었다.

우리나라에 분포하는 산지 태양광 발전시설에 의해 강우시 사면파괴가 발생하고 있다. 이때 불투수면인 태양광 패널을 따라 흐르는 강우로 인해 침투 작용이 일반적인 사면과 달라 간극수압 분포가 차이를 보이며 태양광 구조물의 하중에 의해 지반 거동에 차이가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 강우시의 태양광 발전시설이 설치된 사면의 안정성 평가 방법을 개발하고, 최대 사면 변위 지점을 통해 취약지점을 분석하였다. 강우의 침투에 따른 안정성을 평가하고 거동을 예측하기 위해 침투해석과 유한차분법 수치해석을 연계하였다. 대상 현장에 대해서는 함수특성곡선 변수, Mohr-Coulomb 파괴 기준을 만족하는 강도 정수 및 지반 물성치, 사면의 각도와 기반암의 깊이 등의 지형적 인자를 가정하였으며 이들 중 안전율에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 인자에 대해 검토하였다. 태양광 발전시설의 유무에 따라 침투 양상 및 안전율에 차이가 있으며 강우 침투에 따라 안전율이 감소하는 경향을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 최대 변위 지점은 사면의 상단부와 하단부 인접 지점에 집중적으로 분포하였다.

As the common cast-in-place construction works fails to meet the enormous construction demand under rapid economic growth, the development of prefabricated structure instead becomes increasingly promising in China. For the prefabricated structure, its load carrying connection joint play a key role in maintaining the structural integrity. Therefore, a novel end plate bolt connecting joint between fully prefabricated pre-stressed concrete beam and high-strength reinforcement-confined concrete column was proposed. Under action of low cycle repeated horizontal loadings, comparative tests are conducted on 6 prefabricated pre-stressed intermediate joint specimens and 1 cast-in-place joint specimen to obtain the specimen failure modes, hysteresis curves, skeleton curves, ductility factor, stiffness degradation and energy dissipation capacity and other seismic indicators, and the seismic characteristics of the new-type prefabricated beam-column connecting joint are determined. The test results show that all the specimens for end plate bolt connecting joint between fully prefabricated pre-stressed concrete beam and high-strength reinforcement-confined concrete column have realized the design objectives of strong column weak beam. The hysteretic curves for specimens are good, indicating desirable ductility and energy dissipation capacity and seismic performances, and the research results provide theoretical basis and technical support for the promotion and application of prefabricated assembly frames in the earthquake zone.

The interconnection of mobile devices in urban environments can open up a lot of vistas for collaboration and content-based services. This will require setting up of a network in an urban environment which not only provides the necessary services to the user but also ensures that the network is secure and energy efficient. In this paper, we propose a secure, energy efficient dynamic routing protocol for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks in urban environments. A decision is made by every node based on various parameters like longevity, distance, battery power which measure the node and link quality to decide the next hop in the route. This ensures that the total load is distributed evenly while conserving the energy of battery-constrained nodes. The protocol also maintains a trusted population for each node through Dynamic Trust Factor (DTF) which ensures secure communication in the environment by gradually isolating the malicious nodes. The results obtained show that the proposed protocol when compared with another energy efficient protocol (MMBCR) and a widely accepted protocol (DSR) gives far better results in terms of energy efficiency. Similarly, it also outdoes a secure protocol (QDV) when it comes to detecting malicious nodes in the network.

본 논문에서는 molecular beam epitaxy (MBE)로 성장한 AlGaN/InGaN/GaN high electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs)의 선형성과 RF dispersion 특성을 조사하였다. 전극 길이가 0.5 ㎛인 AlGaN/InGaN HEMT는 최대 전류 밀도가 730mA/mm, 최대 전달정수가 156 mS/mm인 비교적 우수한 DC 특성과 함께, 기존의 AlGaN/GaN HEMT와는 달리 높은 게이트 전압에도 완만한 전류 전달 특성을 보여 선형성이 우수함을 나타내었다. 또한 여러 다른 온도에서 측정한 펄스 전류 특성에서 소자 표면에 존재하는 트랩에 의한 전류 와해 (current collapse) 현상이 발생되지 않음을 확인하였다. 이 연구 결과는 InGaN를 채널층으로 하는 GaN HEMT의 경우 선형성이 우수하고, 고전압 RF 동작조건에서 출력저하가 발생하지 않는 고출력 소자를 제작할 수 있음을 보여준다.
