Wind speed is the most important parameter in the design and study of wind energy conversion systems. The weibull distribution is commonly used for wind energy analysis as it can represent the wind variations with an acceptable level of accuracy. In this study, the wind data for 11 cities in Iran have been analysed over a period of one year. The Goodness of fit test is used for testing data fit to weibull distribution. The results show that this data fit to weibull function very well. The scale and shape factors are two parameters of the weibull distribution that depend on the area under study. The kinds of numerical methods commonly used for estimating weibull parameters are reviewed. Their performance for the cities under study was compared according to root mean square and wind energy errors. The result of the study reveals the empirical, modified maximum likelihood estimate of wind speed with minimum error. Also, that the moment and modified maximum likelihood are the best methods for estimating the energy production of wind turbines.

The mask parameters of a coded aperture are critical design features when optimizing the performance of a gamma-ray camera. In this paper, experiments and Monte Carlo simulations were performed to derive the minimum detectable activity (MDA) when one seeks a real-time imaging capability. First, the impact of the thickness of the modified uniformly redundant array (MURA) mask on the image quality is quantified, and the imaging of point, line, and surface radiation sources is demonstrated using both cross-correlation (CC) and maximum likelihood expectation maximization (MLEM) methods. Second, the minimum detectable activity is also derived for real-time imaging by altering the factors used in the image quality assessment, consisting of the peak-to-noise ratio (PSNR), the normalized mean square error (NMSE), the spatial resolution (full width at half maximum; FWHM), and the structural similarity (SSIM), all evaluated as a function of energy and mask thickness. Sufficiently sharp images were reconstructed when the mask thickness was approximately 2 cm for a source energy between 30 keV and 1.5 MeV and the minimum detectable activity for real-time imaging was 23.7 MBq at 1 m distance for a 1 s collection time.

In this study, three condensation models of the CUPID code, i.e., the resolved boundary layer approach (RBLA), heat and mass transfer analogy (HMTA) model, and an empirical correlation, were tested and validated against the COPAIN and CAU tests. An improvement on HMTA model was also made to use well-known heat transfer correlations and to take geometrical effect into consideration. The RBLA was a best option for simulating the COPAIN test, having mean relative error (MRE) about 0.072, followed by the modified HMTA model (MRE about 0.18). On the other hand, benchmark against CAU test (under natural convection and occurred on a slender tube) indicated that the modified HMTA model had better accuracy (MRE about 0.149) than the RBLA (MRE about 0.314). The HMTA model with wall function and the empirical correlation underestimated significantly, having MRE about 0.787 and 0.55 respectively. When using the HMTA model, consideration of geometrical effect such as tube curvature was essential; ignoring such effect leads to significant underestimation. The HMTA and the empirical correlation required significantly less computational resources than the RBLA model. Considering that the HMTA model was reasonable accurate, it may be preferable for large-scale simulations of containment.

본 논문은 MHP 펄스의 직교성을 이용한 M진 초광대역(UWB) 시스템을 제안하고 시스템의 성능을 분석한다. 제안하는 M진 초광대역 시스템은 각 펄스 차수 간에 직교하는 특성을 가지는 MHP 펄스를 선형 결합하여 펄스진폭방식으로 데이터를 M진으로 전송한다. 제안하는 M진 초광대역 시스템의 성능을 분석하기 위해 MHP 펄스의 상관함수를 구하고, AWGN 환경과 타이밍 지터 환경에서 시스템의 성능을 분석한다. 제안하는 M진 초광대역 시스템은 기존의 M진 초광대역 시스템에 비해서 비트오류확률(BER)이 향상되며, 타이밍 지터에 강인하고 방사전력이 낮다는 특성을 가짐을 보인다. 제안하는 M진 초광대역 시스템에 에러코딩 기법이나 레이크 수신기를 결합하여 사용하면 시스템의 성능은 더욱 더 향상될 것이다.

수자원의 추가 확보와 홍수에 대한 선제적 대응을 목적으로 국내 4대강 주요 지점에 다기능보(multi-function weir)를 설치하였다. 다기능보는 흐름 통제 단면으로서 정밀한 유량 산정이 가능한 수리구조물로 하천의 일반적인 수위-유량 관계식보다 정밀하게 산정할 수 있으며, 향후 각 유역의 국가 표준 유량 기준점으로 활용할 수 있는 방안을 강구하는 것이 바람직하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 영산강의 승촌보를 대상으로 현재 취득되는 운영 자료를 분석하여 개선사항을 제시하고, 이를 보완하기 위하여 간접유량추정 방법인 경사-면적법(slope-area method)을 응용하여 정밀한 유량 산정이 가능할 수 있는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 분석 결과, 현재 상태는 이론적인 유량계수 범위 초과와 급격한 변동, 상 하류부의 수위차를 연동하지 못하는 등 이에 대한 보완이 필요하였다. 응용한 경사-면적법은 앞서 제시한 한계점을 보완하고, 자연 하도의 검증된 수리학적 이론에 의해 수면경사와 마찰손실을 반복 계산을 통해 오차를 줄여나가는 상호 보완적인 방법으로 물리적으로 타당하여 적용가능성을 확인하였다. 향후, 다기능보의 최적 운영을 위하여 이를 적용한다면, 실제 운영에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

LMS(Least Mean Square)알고리즘은 강인성, 높은 추적성, 구현의 단순성 때문에 아직도 많이 사용되는 알고리즘이다. 하지만, LMS알고리즘은 비균일적인 수렴율과 EMSE(Excess mean square error)사이에 trade-off를 가진다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해, 많은 가변 스텝 사이즈 알고리즘이 연구되고 있다. 빠른 수렴속도를 위하여 복잡한 가변스텝 방식을 사용 하는데 많은 계산량을 필요로 한다. IGC(Instantaneous Gain Control) 알고리즘은 원신호와 잡음신호의 순시이득값을 사용하여 계산량은 줄이고 높은 성능을 유지한다. 하지만 IGC 알고리즘은 이득값 계산시 log함수에 의해 실행시간이 오래 걸리는 단점을 가진다. 제안하는 변형 IGC알고리즘은 실행시간을 지연하는 log 함수를 제거하여, 실시간 소음제거 처리에 맞게 변형하여 성능 개선을 이룰 수 있었다.

In this paper, a new construction for training simulator of R/C helicopter based on two types of servo controller is proposed. Two modified algorithms (algorithm I and II) for servo controller design are presented. Algorithm I is developed by adopting Davison's method in the case that the expressions for the homogeneous differential equations of reference input and disturbance are different types, and algorithm II is done by considering error weighting function for the servo controller of algorithm I . The linear fractional transformation method is incorporated in both design methods in order to assign the closed loop poles of the servo system in a specified region. The helicopter simulator is composed by the gimbals with two freedom of rolling and pitching. The reliability and validity for the design methods of the proposed servo controller are investigated through the practical experiment for the simulator by using 16bits micro-computer with A/D and D/A converters. It can be observered from the experimental results that the proposed servo controller is applicable to practical plants since the simulator is robust for the arbitrary disturbance and it follows to the given reference input without significant steady state error.

The steam generator tubes of power plant damaged by sliding wear due to flow-induced motion of foreign object. Amount of wear have been predicted by Achard's wear equation until now. However, there are large error and low reliability, because this equation regards wear coefficient(k) as constant. The sliding wears tests have been performed at room temperature to examine parameters of wear (wear distance, contact stress). The steam generator tube material for wear test is used Inconel 600 and foreign object material is used 304 austenite stainless steel. The sliding wear tests show that the amount of wear is not linearly proportional to the wear distance(for 374 austenite stainless steel). According to experimental result, wear coefficient is not constant k but function k(s) of wear distance. The newly modified wear predictive equation V=k(s)F have small error and high reliability.

We survey a recently developed immersed finite element method (IFEM) for the interface problems. The IFEM uses structured grids such as uniform grids, even if the interface is a smooth curve. Instead of fitting the curved interface, the bases are modified so that they satisfy the jump conditions along the interface. The early versions of IFEM [1, 2] were suboptimal in convergence order [3]. Later, the consistency terms were added to the bilinear forms [4, 5], thus the scheme became optimal and the error estimates were proven. For elasticity problems with interfaces, we modify the Crouzeix-Raviart based element to satisfy the traction conditions along the interface [6], but the consistency terms are not needed. To satisfy the Korn's inequality, we add the stabilizing terms to the bilinear form. The optimal error estimate was shown for a triangular grid. Lastly, we describe the multigrid algorithms for the discretized system arising from IFEM. The prolongation operators are designed so that the prolongated function satisfy the flux continuity condition along the interface. The W-cycle convergence was proved, and the number of V-cycle is independent of the mesh size.
