Europe and North America are paying attention to residential ESS(Energy Storage System) that can manage energy efficiently. The ESS is a system that stores and manages the electric power by charging and discharging the battery. The ESS is generally used in conjunction with photovoltaic systems. The ESS supplies the load of the power generation time and stores the remaining PV power to supply the load at the non-power generation time. However, due to the high price of residential ESS, low electric rates and increasing block rates, there is no market of residential ESS in Korea. This paper reviews the price condition and the capacity for applying PV and residential ESS to household of apartments using HOMER in Korea.

Temperature and humidity regulations of an open-cathode PEM fuel cell with balance of plant (BOP) are developed in this study. The axial fan, a bubble humidifier, set of solenoid valves and a controller are used to perform temperature and humidity control simultaneously. A fuzzy controller is designed, and it shows its superiority in real-time controlling for strong non-linear dynamical fuel cell system. The axial fan speed is used for temperature control and solenoid valve on/off signal of the bubble humidifier is used for humidity control. The axial fan speed is controlled to keep the fuel cell temperature within the desired point. Meanwhile, the bubble humidifier is utilized to moisture hydrogen to manage the water content of membrane. The results show that the proposed fuzzy controller effectively increases the output power of 10% for a PEM fuel cell.

To manage cell outage problem in indoor wireless communication systems, we should resolve the problem of abrupt network failure quickly. In this paper, we propose a near-optimal cell outage management (NoCOM) scheme to support seamless services to users. In consideration of system throughput, user fairness, and the guarantee of QoS simultaneously, the NoCOM scheme finds the solution of subchannel and power allocations using a non-convex optimization technique and allocates radio resources to users iteratively. Through intensive simulations, we verify the outstanding performances of the proposed NoCOM scheme with respect to the average cell capacity, user fairness, and computational complexity.

Purpose: To identify the relationship between emotional labor, self-efficacy, and partnership with parents in nurses working at children's hospital, and to examine the factors that influence partnership of nurses with parents. Methods: Participants were 208 nurses working at nine children's hospitals in D and G metropolitan cities in J province. Data were collected using structured self-report questionnaires. Results: Partnership with parents showed a significant positive correlation with emotional labor (r=.43, p<.001) and self-efficacy (r=.47, p<.001). Furthermore, emotional labor and self-efficacy had influence on partnership with parents. The total explanatory power of this model was of 31.4%. Conclusion: Considering that children's parents and other family members usually stay with them in hospitals, a concrete system needs to be developed to manage the emotional labor of nurses. Ultimately, direct and indirect intervention programs, with emotional labor and self-efficacy at the core, should be developed and implemented to enhance the partnership of nurses and parents.

Person characteristics and the perception of organization climate affect on the performances associated with causes of job stress, and may induce various types of human errors. For incidence, a person's adaptation to organizational traits can influence on a person's performance with tasks assigned as well as job satisfaction, a change of occupation, etc. There are several evaluation methods such as an aptitude test to evaluate the suitability of department allocation. However, only person's traits such as an aptitude has been associated with department allocation and job assignment for the personnel management. This paper shows not only an evaluation result on the job-stress of the workers in nuclear power plants (NPPs), but also the relationships between the job-stress and the coincidences of group-personal, team-personal traits. Then, we systematically deduct a basic information on the factors to be considered to manage the organizational traits and job stress. We expect this result can contribute to enhance the organizational management against to the human errors as well as for the promotion of safety and efficiency of NPPs.

The term, eGovernmen or e-Government, uses technology communications devices such as computers and the Internet to provide public services to citizens and others. The eGovernment or e-government provides citizens with new opportunities to access the government directly and conveniently, while the government provides citizens with directservices. Also, in these days, cloud computing is a feature that enables users to use computer system resources, especially data storage (cloud storage) and on-demand computing power, without having to manage themselves. The term is commonly used to describe data centers that are available to many users over the Internet. Today, the dominant Big Cloud is distributed across multiple central servers. You can designate it as an Edge server if it is relatively close to the user. However, despite the prevalence of e-government and cloud computing, each of these concepts has evolved. Research attempts to combine these two concepts were not being made properly. For this reason, in this work, we aim to produce independent and objective analysis results by separating progress steps for the analysis of e-government cloud service platforms. This work will be done through an analysis of the development process and architectural composition of the e-government development standard framework and the cloud platform PaaS-TA. In addition, this study is expected to derive implications from an analysis perspective on the direction and service composition of the e-government cloud service platform currently being pursued.

The use of drones is gradually increasing for the efficient maintenance of large-scale renewable energy power generation complexes. For a long time, photovoltaic panels have been photographed with drones to manage panel loss and contamination. Various approaches using artificial intelligence are being tried for efficient maintenance of large-scale photovoltaic complexes. Recently, semantic segmentation-based application techniques have been developed to solve the image classification problem. In this paper, we propose a classification model using semantic segmentation to determine the presence or absence of failures such as arcs, disconnections, and cracks in solar panel images obtained using a drone equipped with a thermal imaging camera. In addition, an efficient classification model was implemented by tuning several factors such as data size and type and loss function customization in U-Net, which shows robust classification performance even with a small dataset.

This paper is on the implementation of a system for automatically monitoring window farm hydroponics based on Arduino (utilizing Arduino's open source code) emerging as the icon of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. A window farm, which means window-type hydroponics, is offered as an alternative to fulfill the desires of people who want to grow plants aside from the busy daily life in the city. The system proposed in this paper was developed to automatically monitor a window farm hydroponics cultivation environment using the Arduino UNO board, a four-charmel motor shield, temperature and humidity sensors, illumination sensors, and a real-time clock module. Modules for hydroponics have been developed in various forms, but power consumption is high because most of them use general power and motors. Since it is not a system that is monitored automatically, there is a disadvantage in that an administrator always has to manage its operational state. The system is equipped with a water supply that is most suitable for a plant growth environment by utilizing temperature, humidity, and light sensors, which function as Internet of Things sensors. In addition, the real-time clock module can be used to provide a more appropriate water supply. The system was implemented with sketch code in a Linux environment using Raspberry Pi 3 and Arduino UNO.
